Once upon a time
in a far away land...

:00:49

a young prince
lived in a shining castle.

:00:53

Although he had everything
his heart desired...

:00:56

the prince was spoiled,
selfish and unkind.

:01:01

But then,
one winter's night...

:01:04

an old beggar woman
came to the castle...

:01:06

and offered him
a single rose...

:01:09

in return for shelter
from the bitter cold.

:01:12

Repulsed by her
haggard appearance...

:01:15

the prince sneered at the gift
and turned the old woman away.

:01:20

But she warned him not to be
deceived by appearances...

:01:23

for beauty is found within.

:01:26

And when he dismissed her again,
the old woman's ugliness melted away...

:01:31

to reveal
a beautiful enchantress.

:01:35

The prince tried to apologize,
but it was too late...

:01:38

for she had seen that
there was no love in his heart.

:01:41

And as punishment, she transformed him
into a hideous beast...

:01:45

and placed a powerful spell
on the castle and all who lived there.

:01:50

Ashamed of
his monstrous form...

:01:53

the beast concealed himself
inside his castle...

:01:56

with a magic mirror as
his only window to the outside world.
