Whatever you do, don't be put off by the fact this classic movie is in black and white, and now over 60 years old - it's one of the most enthralling films you could ever see, full of magic, passion and danger. The basic plot is familiar from the fairy tale - Beauty is made to live with the animalistic Beast in return for her father's life - but the world it creates is like no other; statues live, mirrors talk, and love overcomes prejudice.

Voiced in FRENCH, Subtitles in ENGLISH.

    This movie is a french classic and in Britain it is some times called Beauty and the beast.
    It is a story of a girl called Belle 'Beauty' who's father goes into the woods and is spotted by the beast.
    Her sisters don't wan't to go and save hime so it was all up to Belle.
    It was released in 1946.
    The beast can be a little bit scary and it makes it even scarier because it is in black and white and it is certificated PG.

    Slow,spooky and very strange this is one twisted fairytale.Have you ever dreamed of a beast turning into a lovely hansom prince well there is know in LA BELLE ET LA BETE.Jean Cocteau has made a brilliant movie which makes tears becoming diamonds and sculptures moving. This movie is very similar to the movie Beauty and the beast in the Disney classics but this one is in French.I am going to give this movie at 4 out of 5 because it was boring.

    The french version of Buity and the beast is not thery good. It was long and boring and you carnt under stant whot they say. It was in black and white and no signe of couler. It makes you fall a sleep. It was a strang fairy tail. there are lots of seekrats at the beasts castle.

    La Belle et la Bete or otherwise known as Beauty and the Beast!
    Most people know the fairy tale, watch this, it is not what you expect it to be!
    Set in a house which made the film spooky in parts, and with characters similar to another well known fairy tale of cinderella.
    This film is in French with or without subtittles, i would have enjoyed it more if the actors had spoken in English as the film itself was very funny in places, but you had to really concerntrate to keep up!
    The Beast was played by a good actor with some unxpected twists to the tale.
    I would watch this film again i have given the film 4 stars because, it was one of the best films i have watched.
