... that there's a completely different version of the Beauty and the Beast fairy tale.

Wikipedia
 
Villeneuve's tale includes several elements that Beaumont's omits. Chiefly, the back-story of both Belle and the Beast is given. The Beast was a prince who lost his father at a young age, and whose mother had to wage war to defend his kingdom. The queen left him in care of an evil fairy, who tried to seduce him when he became an adult; when he refused, she transformed him into a beast. Belle's story reveals that she is not really a merchant's daughter but the offspring of a king and the same fairy who tried to seduce the prince. The fairy had tried to murder Belle to marry her father, and Belle was put in the place of the merchant's dead daughter to protect her.[4]

Thank God the popular version isn't this convoluted trainwreck. I mean, sure, it was the 18th century, but whoever thought that aborted soap opera made for a good story?
