Walt created his first character at Disney Brothers Studio, a rabbit named Oswald. The Oswald rabbit was very successful until a client of the company stole the rights to the character.

On the other hand there is a prince who does not have a father, so his mother, the queen, who is busy being queen and for that reason leaves a fairy in charge of the prince, that fairy is the wife of the beautiful father.
When the prince grows up the fairy falls in love with him, the prince rejects her and the fairy angered by the rejection turns him into a beast.

The second story on which beauty and the beast is based was written by Madame de Beaumont.
Madame de Beaumont read the above story and thought it was very long so she decided to rewrite it but shorter.

In her story the beauty is the daughter of a merchant who has three sons and three daughters, two of the daughters are envious and bad while the third who is beautiful is very good.
The merchant is very rich and that is why the three have many suitors, the beautiful one rejects them with great kindness while the other two daughters are very borderline.
Then a shipwreck occurs where the merchant loses all his money, so the whole family goes to live in the country. The beauty works hard to help her father in the fields while the two sisters only cry for the loss of money.
Then the news is given that one of the cargoes of one of the shipwrecks has been discovered, so the father returns to the city to see if he can recover some of his fortune, before leaving he asks his daughters what they would like that I bring you from the city, the first daughter responds jewelry, the second daughter responds dressed and beautiful responds a rose.

The father arrives in the city and discovers that what they have found from the shipwreck was not his fortune and that he will continue to be poor. On the way home it begins to snow and he finds a palace. He enters the palace and there is food, and then he decides to stay there because he has not seen anyone to ask permission. In the morning he finds his clean clothes and breakfast is done, when he leaves the palace to follow his hand he sees a rose and starts one for Bella, when he cuts the rose the beast appears and tells him that he is going to kill him, the merchant asks him do not do it and that the rose was for his daughter to which the beast responds that if you do not want him to kill you you have to get one of your daughters to come to the palace voluntarily and kill her. The beast gives him three months to do it and also gives him jewelry and dresses.

The beauty feeling guilty for asking for a rose goes to the palace, on the first night in the palace the beauty dreams of a fairy who tells her that her sacrifice will be rewarded at some point. In the morning she is calm thanks to sleep and begins to visit the palace, then she finds a room with her name and there she finds a mirror that shows her what she wants, such as seeing how her father is.

So at nine o'clock the beauty comes down for dinner and the beast meets, from that day on the beast and the beauty always dine together and every night the beast asks Bella if she wants to marry him, the beauty answers whenever no and the beast believes it is because of its appearance.

Time goes by and the beauty sees in the mirror that all her brothers and sisters have left her father's house and that her father is sick, so she asks the beast to go see him, the beast says yes but you have to come back. In order for the beast to be calm, the beauty tells him that he will only be in his father's house for 8 days, the beast gives a magic ring to Bella to put on the table and in the morning she will never be in her father's house .
Before the beauty gets off the beast also gives him a trunk full of dresses. The beautiful girl at her father's house puts on one of the beast's dresses and gives the rest to her sisters, but when the sisters go to take it, it disappears because the beast has given it to the beauty and not to her sisters. .
Then the beauty tells them that she is very happy living in the palace and the sisters tell them that they are very unhappy with their husbands. His jealous sisters of Bella make him stay more than 8 days for the beast to suffer.
One beautiful night he dreams of the dead beast among the rose bushes and that is why he decides to return, when he returns thanks to the ring he waits for the beast at nine for dinner. When the beast does not appear at dinner, he remembers the dream and finds it in the rose bushes alive, determined not to eat because Bella did not return.
Then the beauty thinks about how unhappy her sisters are with their husbands and she who is happy with the beast that has no better future than to marry him. When they marry the beast becomes a beautiful young man.
At the wedding, the fairy from Bella's first dream appears and turns her sisters into statues for their selfishness and evil so they can see how happy she is from the top of the palace.
