What happens

Belle's Tales of Friendship is a 1999 American direct-to-video live action animated fantasy film. It is based on the syndicated television series Sing Me a Story with Belle, for which a live-action Belle tells stories from Disney cartoons such as The Wise Little Hen, The Three Little Pigs, Morris the Midget Moose and Babes in the Woods. The film stars Lynsey McLeod, who continues portraying Belle in live-action form. It also stars Paige O'Hara, Robby Benson, David Ogden Stiers, and Jerry Orbach, who reprise their roles as Belle, Beast, Cogsworth, and Lumiere, respectively, in the animated form, in the short film Mrs. Potts' Party, which later was also used for the special edition released in 2003 of Belle's Magical World. The film was released on VHS on August 17, 1999. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
