Beauty has two unpleasant sisters with equally nasty husbands who are up to no good! When a poor widow stumbles onto the castle and innocently plucks a forbidden rose, the Beast sentences her to death, but first allows her to return home and bid farewell to her family. After Beauty agrees to go to the Beast’s castle to spare her mother’s life, her siblings hatch a plot to rescue her and steal the Beast’s treasure. There’s just one thing…they hadn’t counted on enchanted furniture! Ages 4 and up.
