Animated Timeline[]
Past[]
| “ | Once upon a time, in a faraway land, a young prince lived in a shining castle. Although he had everything his heart desired, the prince was spoiled, selfish and unkind. But then, one winter's night, an old beggar woman came to the castle and offered him a single rose in return for shelter from the bitter cold. Repulsed by her haggard appearance, the prince sneered at the gift and turned the old woman away. But she warned him not to be deceived by appearances, for beauty is found within. And when he dismissed her again, the old woman's ugliness melted away to reveal a beautiful enchantress. The prince tried to apologize, but it was too late, for she had seen that there was no love in his heart. And as punishment, she transformed him into a hideous beast and placed a powerful spell on the castle and all who lived there. Ashamed of his monstrous form, the Beast concealed himself inside his castle with a magic mirror as his only window to the outside world. The rose she had offered was truly an enchanted rose, which would bloom until his 21st year. If he could learn to love another and earn her love in return by the time the last petal fell, then the spell would be broken. If not, he would be doomed to remain a beast for all time. As the years passed, he fell into despair and lost all hope. For who could ever learn to love a beast? | „ |
| ~ Opening narration of Beauty and the Beast, describing the Beast's origins. |
Prince Adam, as he appears in the 1997 sequel/midquel to the original film, Beauty and the Beast: The Enchanted Christmas
In the comic book prequel to the films, The New Adventures of Beauty and the Beast, the Beast is shown as the young human prince Adam roughly ten years before the events of the first film. His parents were never around, so it is likely that they died sometime when he was very young, leaving his castle staff to care for him. He was brought up in a sophisticated and strict manner due to his royal status, but was very bitter and cruel towards everyone, including his servants. He proved to be quite skilled in academics and sportsmanship, and especially enjoyed hunting, though his hunts often were inhumane, including one where he attempted to shoot a fawn. He also had a horse named Thunder, but showed no love towards it and treated it poorly, causing it to run away. Adam would lash out at everyone, including hitting an old woman (who was later revealed to be the Enchantress) when she annoyed him. Despite this, he did harbor a softness for Mrs. Potts and her son Chip, as they were always too kind to him for him to become angry at.
However, one dark winter's night (Christmas Eve according to the midquel), a mysterious old woman came to the castle and asked for shelter from the bitter cold outside, offering only a single beautiful rose as payment. However, Adam was so disgusted by her haggard exterior that he rejected the gift and turned her away, not even caring if she would die out in the snow. In response to his rejection, the woman then warned him not to judge others solely by appearances, for true beauty lied within. Unmoved by this wisdom, Adam dismissed her again, slamming the door in her face. Suddenly, the woman's ugly appearance disappeared, revealing her to be a beautiful and powerful Enchantress, who came to test the prince's character. Realizing his mistake, Adam fearfully attempted to apologize for his actions, but his pleas fell on deaf ears, for the Enchantress saw that his heart was empty and devoid of all love; yet not beyond redemption. Thus, she decided to put him to another test.
As punishment for his selfishness and cruelty, the Enchantress magically transformed Adam's body to match his soul; into the form of a large and terrifying beast. She then placed a spell upon the entire castle, turning it into a dark and frightening fortress (except for the ballroom, which retained its original beauty) and its other residents into anthropomorphic household items. The Enchantress also gave the transformed prince a magic mirror that would show him anything or anyone from the outside world or within his own castle, without ever having to leave his home. She also left him the rose, which was also enchanted, and would bloom up until his 21st birthday. She told the prince that if he could learn to love another and earn their love in return by the time the last petal falls, the spell would be broken and he, along with his castle and servants would be returned to normal. But if he failed to do so, then he and everyone else would remain cursed for all eternity.
Ashamed of his new monstrous appearance and the actions that led to it, Adam, now known as the "Beast", concealed himself entirely within his own castle, never allowing anyone-else but his own servants to see him. He kept both the mirror and the rose inside his room where it would be safe, fearing that if the rose were to be destroyed, then the curse would become permanent. Over time, the Beast lost all hope of ever becoming human again and fell into depression and despair, believing that no-one could ever love a monster such as him. His violent temper only grew, even destroying the West Wing of his castle and one of his favorite childhood toys in his fits. Though the servants tried to help him with his temper and continue his education, he would too often become furious and lash out. Eventually, when the rose first started to wilt, the Beast lost all hope and attempted to live out in the wild. He failed, ending up falling off a small cliff and being knocked unconscious, only to be rescued by Chip and the footstool dog Sultan.
Meeting Belle[]
In Beauty and the Beast, an inventor from a nearby town named Maurice went on his way to a fair. However, he became lost, and was chased off of his path by a pack of vicious wolves. He found himself at the Beast's castle, where he was taken in by the servants and cared for. However, the Beast arrived and saw Maurice as an intruder, proceeding to violently kidnap him and lock him in the dungeon.
Maurice's daughter named Belle then arrived at the castle to rescue her father, but was caught by the Beast. She offered herself to take her father's place, and the Beast agreed, seeing it as a way to possibly learn love with this beautiful girl. He threw Maurice out and had him taken back to the town. After some convincing from his servants, the Beast allowed Belle to move out of the castle's tower and into a bedroom. However, he tried to force her to join him for dinner. When she refused and stayed in her room, the Beast became infuriated and decreed that she should not eat unless it was with him. He then left to sulk in the West Wing of the castle, where he uses the enchanted mirror to look in on Belle and overhear her speaking to the Wardrobe about how much of a monster he was.
Saving Belle[]
Belle eventually came out of her room, and was treated to a secret dinner by the servants. She then wandered into the West Wing of the castle and came upon the enchanted rose, which she attempted to touch. However, the Beast stopped her and lashed out again. Belle fled the castle, only to be attacked by the wolves that had attacked her father. However, just as she was cornered, the Beast arrived, having felt remorse for scaring her away and coming to save her. He fights off all of the wolves, but the monster is badly injured. Belle takes the Beast back to the castle and tends to his wounds, a newfound respect having grown.
Wanting to do something kind for Belle in return for her kindness, the Beast gives her access to his library and the thousands of books he has. In return, Belle decides to teach the Beast to be more civilized and put up with his more aggressive moments.
Belle's Magical World[]
In the midquel, Belle and the Beast continue to try and get along, though they have issues. The Beast does several rude gestures that annoy Belle, though he stands by the fact "his castle, his rules". He grows angry at Belle and his servant Webster for objecting to him. The Beast refuses to apologize, so servants Webster, Crane, and LePlume forge a fake apology letter to Belle. This angers the Beast so much that he banishes the three from the castle, decreeing that any who comfort or try to let them back in will be punished. Belle brings them back, and the Beast later realizes the error of his actions and apologizes.
Later, Belle saves a bird with a broken wing, only for the Beast to lash out due to hating birds. However, in his outrage, he falls down some stairs and hits his head, completely forgetting about his hatred for birds. However, he captures the bird and puts it in a cage in his room, demanding it to sing for him. Belle explains that the bird will only sing if it is happy, and the Beast learns to let the bird free.
Christmas time[]
Belle and the Beast soon reconcile, but still occasionally butt heads. As Christmas approaches, Belle wants to celebrate, but the Beast has forbade it due to his hatred of the holiday, mostly because Christmas Eve was the day the Enchantress curses him. However, he does relent to let Belle have her celebration, but wants to sit it out. Behind the scenes, one of Beast's servants by the name of Maestro Forte is plotting to break up the growing friendship/romance with Belle and the Beast so that they can remain under the spell forever, as he likes his new form and likes that the Beast comes to him for advice and to play his music. He manipulates the Beast and encourages him to not fall in love.
Belle decides to do something kind for the Beast by writing him a book to give as a Christmas present. She also meets Forte later on in a chance meeting. Forte then manipulates her, telling her that the Beast used to love Christmas, and that his favorite tradition was the tree. He then lies to her and tells her large Christmas trees can be found in the woods right outside the castle grounds. Belle disobeys the Beast's orders to not leave the castle to get a tree, but she falls through thin ice.
The Beast cannot find Belle, and Forte takes advantage of the situation when he lies to him that she has abandoned him. Forte then uses his dark powers and musical magic to hypnotize the Beast and make him forget about Belle. In a blind rage, the Beast was brainwashed into destroying the Christmas decorations and the dinner table in the dining room before going out to look for Belle. He finds her drowning in an icy pond and saves her before furiously carrying her back to the castle. On the belief that Belle disobeyed him for leaving the castle grounds and for planning Christmas against his wishes, the Beast ruthlessly blames her for breaking her promise and locks her away in the dungeon where she will remain for eternity (indicating that Belle will never see her father, Maurice, ever again). But unbeknownst to the Beast, the castle servants visited Belle in the dungeon against his wishes and decided to celebrate Christmas with her while agreeing that they don't need decorations and presents.
All hope seemed lost when Forte cruelly manipulates the Beast into destroying the enchanted rose so that he will "end his suffering forever". But just as he was about to smash the rose to pieces, a petal falls onto the present Belle left for him and, in an instant, he finally snaps out of his anger and remembers the gift, breaking himself free from Forte's hypnotic trance. The Beast opens the gift and reads the book Belle made for him. It was a story about him, and it talked about something that he had doubted and gave up on since the enchantress casted her spell: hope. The story from Belle's book finally brought sense into him and realized that all Belle and his servants wanted was for him to be happy and to put the past behind him. Seeing that Forte is a traitor and that everything he said about Belle wasn't true, the Beast decided to not listen to him anymore and abandons him. He then frees Belle from the dungeon and apologizes for his past behavior, asking her for her forgiveness. Belle warmly wished him a merry Christmas and allows him to join in the Christmas festivities. But just as they prepare to celebrate Christmas together, Forte becomes enraged and tries to destroy the castle with his music. Beast makes his way to Forte's chamber and destroys his keyboard, causing Forte to not be able to continue his music. He angrily rips himself from the wall in an attempt to fight, but he loses his balance and falls down on his face, killing him. The Beast mourns Forte's death, but he realizes that his old friend was too dangerous and evil to continue on. Despite the loss, the Beast still celebrates Christmas with Belle and the others.
Marvel Comics[]
In a thirteen issue Beauty and the Beast comic series by Marvel Comics, the Beast has a nightmare and becomes angry for the rest of the day because of it. He explains the situation to Belle, who invites him to participate in a surprise birthday party for the Wardrobe. He reluctantly agrees, but becomes angry and begins acting out when the Wardrobe failed to show up for the party. The issue was eventually resolved, and the party went as planned.
Later, Belle decides to reteach the Beast how to read and write, which he had forgotten to do as a result of his curse and more "animal" mind. He became frustrated at his lack of progress and tried to have Lumière write a poem and pass it off as his. Belle saw right through it, however, and decided that she would teach him, albeit stricter.
Later, Belle and Chip get lost in a snowstorm, and the Beast heroically saves them both. He tends to Belle and even has breakfast served to her in bed. He then helped her around and even helped her find hollies to help make her happy.
The Beast and Belle are later seen reading in the library, when an open window blows in snow and ruins Belle's favorite book. The Beast tries to comfort her, but accidentally insults the book. He repairs the book after a suggestion from Chip, and gives it to Belle as a gift.
He later begins thinking and lamenting about his past evils, putting him in a bad mood and causing him to lash out at Sultan and Mrs. Potts, which he had never done before. He realizes his mistake and joins Belle for dinner. When Sultan accidentally ruins Belle's dessert, he shows a sudden maturity by not getting angry and instead being thankful and pleased that Belle even made a dessert for him.
Disney Adventures[]
In the Disney Adventures comics, the Beast tries a spa day to make himself less scary to look at, but fails, even though Belle is charmed by the gesture.
However, one day, the Beast is in one of his bad moods again, but later saved Chip from another blizzard. He reveals that he was once betrothed to another woman, but she disappeared and he never saw her past their childhoods.
Ballroom Dance[]
As Belle and the Beast grow closer together, they finally decide to have a dinner date. The Beast gets cleaned up and puts on a regal costume, then joins Belle for dinner. At the end of the meal, Belle leads Beast to the ballroom and shows him how to dance. He quickly picks up on it, and the two dance together in the ballroom. It is at that point where the two finally fall in love with each other, and end the night out on the balcony.
The Beast asks Belle if she is happy, and she says that she is. However, she also misses her father and would like to see him again. The Beast remembers his magic mirror and takes Belle over to the West Wing to give it to her. She uses it to see her father, who has become lost in the cold woods looking for her. As she worries about her father, the Beast decides that he cares too much for her and her father, and lets Belle go to find her father, giving her the magic mirror as a gift. Belle agrees and thanks him, then leaves. Believing that she would never return, and not that all hope for the curse being lifted was gone, the Beast lets out a roar as Belle goes off to find her father.
Siege on the Castle[]
After Belle saves her father, she is approached by Monsieur D'Arque, LeFou, and an angry mob led by Gaston LeGume, who want to throw her father in the Asylum D'Loons because of his stories and ramblings about a "beast". Belle stands up to them by using the magic mirror to show them the Beast and prove her father is not insane, but they simply see him as a monster and head off to siege the castle and kill the Beast.
Gaston and the others arrive at the castle, but the Beast orders no counterattack due to his depression. The mob enters the castle, but is fought off by the servants. Gaston gets away and finds the Beast, shooting an arrow into his back and knocking him through a window onto the rooftops. Beast sadly waits for Gaston to finish him off, but Belle returns. Seeing that hope is not lost, the Beast finally works up the strength and courage to fight back against Gaston, dueling him on the jagged rooftops of the castle. He finally manages to overpower Gaston and grab his throat, dangling him over the edge. Gaston pathetically begs for his life, and the Beast, seeing Gaston as a reflection of his former self or what he could've become, pulls him back and simply tells him to get out. He then sees Belle calling to him from a nearby balcony and climbs up to meet her. However, he is stabbed in the back by Gaston, causing him to flail and roar in pain. Gaston loses his grip and falls off of the castle to his death.
Death and Return[]
The Beast begins to suffer from his wound, though Belle tries to comfort him. He is thankful that he got to see Belle one last time, then succumbs to his wound and dies. Belle cries over his body and announces that she loves him just seconds before the last petal of the rose falls. As the Beast learned to love and had someone confess her love for him in return before the last petal fell, the criteria for the spell to be broken was met. Magic lifts the Beast from the ground and transforms him into a human again, while also restoring him to life. Belle sees him as a human for the first time, and the two share a kiss that breaks the rest of the spell, transforming all the servants back into humans and the castle back to its former glory.
The Beast, now back to his former form as Adam, and Belle then open the castle to the town and share another dance.

Live Action Timeline[]
Past[]
Prince Adam was once a calm child. Though his servants and his mother (the Queen) tried to give him a through education and raise him to become as, he was constantly corrupted by his wicked and manipulative father (the King) after the Queen died succumbing to an illness. Following the King's death, the Prince becomes as arrogant as his father, even raising taxes on the villages to fund parties for himself. It was not until one winter night during a debutante ball, a visiting enchantress named Agathe placed a spell on the Prince as punishment for denying her any shelter, transforming him into the Beast and the servants into household objects. After erasing the memory of the castle from the townsfolk, Agathe tells the Beast that he can break the spell by learning to love another and earn her love in return before the enchanted rose's last petal falls, otherwise his monstrous form will remain and that the servants will become permanent antiques, much to their distraught.
Because of this event, the Beast felt so extremely ashamed of his actions and despised his deceased father for causing his pain; even furiously tearing up a family portrait of himself and the King in retaliation (though the portrait of the Queen remains intact as the Beast still mourns for her death). Even the servants felt depressed over their role in the event, as they are full of regret of letting the Beast becoming so arrogant due to the King's treatment.
Meeting Belle[]
As a old music inventor named Maurice wandered into the castle after being lost, the Beast silently watched as Maurice surf through the castle. However, Maurice decides to leave the castle, but not before he spots a rose in the castle garden. Maurice tries to take the rose, but the Beast catches him in the act and locks him up in the dungeon.
When Belle runs to the rescue, she spots Maurice inside the dungeon before meeting up with the Beast, who reveals that's he locking Maurice up for life for trying to steal the rose. Belle pleads with the Beast to let Maurice go by taking his place, revealing that she's the one who told Maurice to get the rose for her. The Beast grudgingly obliges and lets Maurice and Belle say their goodbyes, before letting Maurice go and locking up Belle in the dungeon.
Eventually, Belle is freed by Lumiere, who gives her a room and he and the other servants intend to incur Belle into making a relationship with the Beast. Upon hearing of this, the Beast is less than thrilled as he finds the idea to be completely ridiculous. Nevertheless, the servants convince the Beast to try by stating that the time is slowly going. Despite this, Belle refuses to dine with the Beast, who decides to let her starve as retaliation for her refusal.
Rescuing Belle from the Wolves[]
It was not until Belle went into the West Wing (against the servants' orders), that the Beast spotted her and angrily ordered her out. Fed up with this, Belle decides to leave the castle with her horse Phillipe, though they end up being attacked by a pack of wolves. However, feeling guilty for frightening Belle away in the first place, the Beast comes to the rescue by fighting against the wolves before roaring at them to scare them away. The Beast then falls unconscious due to his injuries inflicted by the wolves, and Belle decides to return him back to the castle as thanks.
After tending to the Beast's injuries, Belle is told of the Beast's backstory by the servants, who admit of their regret of letting the King abuse the Beast.
Forming a Relationship with Belle[]
After recuperating from his injuries, the Beast listens as Belle reads him stories to cheer him up. The Beast then shows her castle library, admitting that he had an expensive education during his childhood. As time goes, the Beast takes a hobby in reading more books with Belle and taking walks around the garden; he even showed a magical book left by Agathe that transports anyone to anywhere around the world. Using the magical book, Belle transports herself and the Beast to an old mill in Paris where she was born. Spotting a plague mask and a baby rose rattle inside mill, the Beast deduced that Belle's mother was infected by a plague and that Maurice was forced to leave her while taking a infant Belle (per her mother's orders) away to safety. As such, the Beast apologized to Belle for his behavior towards Maurice.
After returning to the castle, Belle and the Beast have a dance, just as Belle reminisced of the time she danced with Maurice as a child. Feeling that Belle misses her father so much, the Beast gave her the magic mirror to look, where they are horrified to learn that Maurice is being tormented by Gaston and the villagers for his silly cravings of the Beast and Gaston's attempted murder on him. Despite knowing that the rose is withering away, the Beast decides to let Belle go free to save Maurice, even apologizing to the servants and telling them to await their fate along with himself.
Siege on the Castle[]
Belle saves her father by using the magic mirror to prove the Beast's existence, but Gaston, fearing that his attempted murder on Maurice would be exposed and being jealous of Belle's relationship with the Beast, snaps out by goading the villagers to help him kill the Beast.
To that end, Gaston locks up Belle and Maurice in the asylum cart to prevent them from warning the Beast, though Maurice uses Belle's hair pin to free themselves before allowing Belle to run back to the castle.
Gaston and the villagers arrive at the castle, but they were fought off and driven away by the servants. However, Gaston gets away and shoots the Beast, who is too depressed to fight back. Though Belle arrives to rescue by destroying Gaston's arrows before calling out to the Beast. Seeing that Belle has returned, the Beast regains his will to live and fought back against the Gaston, coldly telling him that he's not a beast on the inside as Gaston thinks.
Shoving Gaston away, the Beast angrily orders him to leave just as he jumps back to the balcony to reunite with Belle. Unfortunately, Gaston finds his guns and shoots the Beast in the back twice, much to Belle's horror. However, the drawbridge starts to break (due to the curse slowly crumbling it thanks to the Beast's injuries), causing a screaming Gaston to fall to his death.
Death and Return[]
As the Beast succumbs to his death, he sadly tells Belle that his time has come, taking solace in the fact that he got to see her again one last time, just as the final rose petal falls. The Beast then dies, and all the servants accept their fate in becoming inanimate objects, much to Belle's distraught. As Belle tearfully proclaims to the Beast that she loves him, her sorrow is lifted when an arriving Agathe witnessed the scene and uses the rose petals to revive and transform the Beast back into the handsome prince he was before. As Belle and the Prince kiss, the curse is lifted, all the servants are turned back to normal, and the villagers' memories of the castles are restored as they recognized some of the servants as their lost-lost relatives.
With the curse uplifted for good, the Prince happily reunites with his servants and is last seen performing a ball alongside Belle, the servants and the villagers by his side.
