I actually enjoyed watching this movie with my kids, but wasn't sure when I was done watching it if it gives them the kind of message that I want them to have. The story is about a girl (Belle) who wants to save her father from the beast so she says she will stay with him if he lets her father go. The beast loves Belle, but feels too ugly to tell her so and is mean to her.

Even though he keeps her in captivity, she starts to have feelings for him, and this is where I have a problem. What kind of message is this giving our children. If a man (or beast!) treats you like dirt it doesn't matter because you can still fall for him?!

All in all , not a bad movie, but I think they could've written it a little differently.
