The Beast agrees, on the condition that she return within two months because otherwise he will surely die, because he really wants to marry her. Eventually, Beauty misses her family so much that she begs the Beast to be allowed to visit them.

And when she asks the Beast if anyone else is in the palace, he says it's just them (and the talking birds, and the monkey servants, and the windows to all the theaters, &c). Funny thing, though, no matter how much she searches the palace she can't find the room where her Unknown is held prisoner.

Anyway, every night when she sleeps, Beauty encounters a youth (henceforth: the Unknown) as handsome and charming as the Beast is hideous and dull, and every night she and the Unknown pitch woo at each other, as the Unknown begs her to free him.

Oh, and did I mention that he's rigged up an elaborate system of mirrors that allows her to watch theatrical performances all over Europe? Because he has. Every night he comes to her chamber and asks after her health and what she did that day, but otherwise, he leaves her to her own devices as she searches the palace grounds, befriending his talking birds and being waited on hand and foot by his trained monkeys. Actually, he doesn't seem that interested in interacting with her at all. Beauty immediately agrees, even though she thinks the Beast is going to eat her. Who agrees to spare the Good Man's life if one of his children will take his place and live with the Beast in his wondrous palace. Even more unfortunately, he picked it from the garden of a hideous Beast. Unfortunately, it's a bust and all he can do for his children is give Beauty the gift of a rose. But there is some good news, the Good Man is called back to the city because one of his vessels is returning to port laden with cargo. Anyway, the Good Man is bankrupted and forced to move his family to the countryside, much to the displeasure of Beauty's five older sisters. The youngest of whom is an impossibly sweet, loving girl whom everyone calls Beauty (it's that type of story). The Original: So, there's this merchant (henceforth: the Good Man) who has twelve children.

Or, why everything is better with airplanes. The Story of the Beauty and the Beast (1740) by Gabrielle-Suzanne Barbot de Villeneuve, translated by James Robinson Planché, adapted (?) by Rachel Louise Lawrence into Porco Rosso (1992) ( 紅の豚 Kurenai no Buta ( Crimson Pig)) dir.

So, in this series I'll be taking a look at adaptations where creators took one look at the source material and said, "FUCK THAT NOISE!" to see how that turned out. But let's be honest, sometimes, the less faithful an adaptation is, the more memorable it is. Some people like to complain about the inevitable changes that occur when a story is adapted from one medium to another. Okay, so like I get why they put the dapper pig on the Beauty and the Beast cover, but why is the Porco Rosso cover so brooding? And why don't they show the fucking plane? It's like Disney didn't even want people to buy this movie.
