Belle, Blu-ray, new

The life of 17-year-old Suzu, who lives with her father in a small village, changes dramatically when she logs on to the platform "U" – a virtual world with five billion users. The shy Suzu's avatar is the beautiful and graceful Belle. In the protective anonymity of the online world, the young student overcomes her self-doubt and rises to world-famous starship overnight. The whole world wants to know: Who is Belle? But her success is soon overshadowed: Belle's concert appearance is interrupted by the arrival of a mysterious creature. The "Beast" wreaks havoc in the virtual expanse of "U" and wants to destroy the peaceful atmosphere. Fascinated by the menacing-looking troublemaker, Belle sets out to uncover his mystery. BEAUTY AND THE BEAST for the TikTok generation: With BELLE, Oscar®-nominated director Mamoru Hosoda once again presents a visionary and emotional story. Accompanied by designs by Tomm Moore (THE MELODY OF THE SEA) and Jin Kim (FROZEN, ENCANTO), the audience experiences a cyber fairy tale of a special kind.
