In the depths of the forest, with only animals as company, lives a kind but ugly girl. When she catches a glimpse of the handsome prince, she immediately falls in love and into despair. The animals want to help, but they can’t begin to grasp what the difference is between this thing called ugly and this thing called beautiful.
