Disney's Beauty and the Beast begins with a narrative that parallels the 1991 animated film-- an enchantress transforms a mean prince into a beast until such time that he could learn to love. One day, a woman named Belle happens into his castle. The Beast must pursue her through his own deadly castle for both their safety.
This is a side-scrolling action platformer. The Beast is rather slow but with a powerful claw strike and jump-stomp attack. He can also scale certain types of walls and can catch the edges of platforms. He also has a special roar that allows him to stun certain enemies. This becomes necessary in some sections in order to freeze bats so the Beast can use them as stepping stones to higher platforms.
The game has a time limit in the form of the magical rose. The Beast must battle through levels such as the dungeon and the main hall, battling giant spiders, rats, rogue candle monsters, live gargoyle statues, and enchanted brooms, while collecting books for points (since Belle likes books) and magic mirrors that allow the Beast to see further into the current level to anticipate what challenges await.

Manual
Game Guide
Extracted from the original game manual
Based on the classic fairy tale, this action-adventure game follows a self-centered prince who has been transformed into a hideous beast and must find true love before his twenty-first birthday to break the curse. Players control the Beast as he searches the castle halls for Belle, braves wolf-infested woods to protect her, and ultimately defends himself against the jealous hunter Gaston.
Story

A self-centered prince is transformed into a hideous beast by the magic of an enchantress. What's more, all his servants have been turned into household objects.
Before departing, the enchantress leaves a rose in the hands of the Prince. This rose will bloom until his twenty-first birthday.
The Prince has until then to find the one he truly loves and to earn that person's love in return. If he does not, he will be doomed to remain a beast forever.
