Cheerful, kind, and quite well-organized... / Mrs. Potts seems like the ideal housekeeper / for a royal castle. And that's precisely what / she was--until an evil spell turned her, along / with her son Chip and other members of / the staff, into household objects. The same / spell turned the prince of the castle into a / fierce-looking Beast. Only by learning to / love can the Beast break the spell, and time-- / measured by the life of a single red rose--is / running out. / It's Mrs. Potts and Chip who welcome a lost / and frightened girl named Belle into the castle / and make her feel at home. Could Belle become / the Beauty who rescues the Beast from his / lonely life... / For decorative use only.
