PLOT

Things aren't good in the town when the Evil Witch Wakanda creates a new spell and wants to try it out on Prince Adam himself because he is selfish, arrogant and rude. With a little intervention with her daughter, Mal, Wakanda turns him into an ugly beast. Fear not, the story is not over as Fairy Flora rewrites the magic to allow Prince Adam more time to turn his ways. On the other side of the village, beloved daughter of Maurice, Belle is working hard at home when Prince Adam captures Maurice for stealing his prized roses without realising how valuable they really are to him.

Belle is illuminated into the scene by Mini-Fairy Flora who abruptly informs Prince Adam that she will take her father's place in the jail cell - after all, she proclaims she is much more stronger than him. The Prince agrees and Maurice is thrown out of the castle site. Can the Palace staff get enough time to convince Belle that Prince Adam is soft and selfless deep down before it's too late - only a kiss can break the spell but Prince Adam is far from kind and gentle throughout the story.
