Belle's Magical World

ActionAdventureAnimationFamilyFantasyMusicalRomance92 min

Belle and the Beast are still learning how to live with one another when the enchanted castle gives way to three storybook adventures: one about forgiveness after a quarrel, another about Fifi’s jealousy over Lumiere’s bond with Belle, and a third involving an injured bird. Paige O’Hara is Belle, with Robby Benson returning as the Beast, while Jerry Orbach’s Lumiere and David Ogden Stiers’ Cogsworth keep the household in motion. Framed as an anthology of smaller tales, the film stays with the familiar castle residents as Belle’s patience and the Beast’s temper are tested between songs and fairy-tale mishaps.
