[[AC:Anime & Manga]]
* ''Manga/BeautyAndTheBeastOfParadiseLost'': After her mother is killed protecting her from a monster who kidnaps women to steal their faces, Belle's father locks her in the house for the next five years. Belle suspects that her mother isn't dead, and when rumors of the Beast's return surface, slips out looking for answers. She's promptly kidnapped by one Beast, which is then killed by a second. She is soon trapped in the second Beast's castle. Much terror and horror ensues, as this retelling uses the trappings of the fairy tale as the framework for a very dark discussion of the trauma resulting from DomesticAbuse and the obsession with beauty.
* ''Anime/Belle2021'': When Belle's concert is interrupted by a mysterious figure called "The Dragon", she befriends him. Lots of plot riffs from the fairy tale and the Disney adaptation, including the castle-storming scene. These aren't real people, though. They are avatars in a virtual-reality universe. The actual people behind them have related-but-distinct challenges of their own.
* An episode of Anime/GrimmsFairyTaleClassics, appropriately titled "Beauty and the Beast".
[[AC:Literature]]
* ''Literature/BarkingBenjamin'': When Barking Benjamin leaves his home cartoon continuity In the short story "The Beast", he meets aristocratic loner Mortimer Magglesworth, who has been cursed to be a giant anthropomorphic lizard. Mortimer has decided to make lemons out of lemonade, adjusting to a life of solitude and ostracism. Then he meets Cassie...
* ''Literature/Beast2004'': A young adult novel by Donna Jo Napoli. A prince of Persia makes a foolish choice on the day of the Feast of Sacrifices. Cursed to be a beast, he must wander the Middle East and France in search of love and redemption.
* ''[[Literature/BeastATaleOfLoveAndRevenge Beast: A Tale of Love and Revenge]]'' by Lisa Jensen: A semi-[[DeconstructedTrope Deconstruction]] of the tale which borrows many elements from the Disney version.
* ''Literature/{{Beastly}}'': Told through the eyes of the teenage Beast, this version has been moved to [[SettingUpdate modern New York City]].
* ''Beauty and the Werewolf'', from ''Literature/TalesOfTheFiveHundredKingdoms'', has many of the elements of ''Beauty and the Beast'': The gorgeous girl being held at a mysterious castle, the cursed housemate, the merchant father, and the siblings (though without the jealousy and selfishness). The local GenreSavvy Godmother even thinks that the tale is playing out. The actual narrative of the plot ends up paralleling [[Literature/LittleRedRidingHood another tale]] entirely.
* ''Literature/BeautyARetellingOfBeautyAndTheBeast'': Honor "Beauty" Huston -- who believes that her nickname is a {{Blatant Lie|s}} -- is an excellent student with dreams of attending university. She volunteers to take her father's place in the Beast's palace, as she feels that she can best be spared from home. She sets about befriending the Beast and solving the mysteries that surround her.
* ''Literature/TheBloodyChamber'': "The Courtship of Mr. Lyon" and "The Tiger's Bride" are (separate) short stories. Both are gothic tales based on ''Beauty and the Beast''.
* ''Literature/BryonyAndRoses'': Bryony lives with her sisters in a small village, struggling to make a living after the death of their merchant father. When she stumbles into an abandoned manor in a snowstorm, she soon finds herself trapped with the Beast that lives there. Is he captor or prisoner? And what's with the courtyard full of roses blooming in midwinter? Bryony only has her wits and gardening shears, but she'll need to unravel the house's secrets before they swallow her down.
* ''Literature/CruelBeauty'': Blends the story structure of "Beauty and the Beast" with elements from classical mythology.
* ''Literature/TheCursebreakerSeries'': An 18 year old girl from modern Washington, D.C. is kidnapped into another world to try to break the curse on a prince doomed to forever repeat the fall of his 18th year, turning into an unstoppable beast at the end of each "season".
* ''Literature/TheFireRose'': A variant where the Beauty is ''hired'' because she's fluent in the languages that the Beast needs to have deciphered. He's a magician, and is trying to find a magical answer to his transformation problem.
* ''Literature/{{Hagenheim}}'': ''The Merchant's Daughter'' retells the story with all of the magical bits replaced with religious elements from TheMiddleAges.
* ''Literature/HeartsBlood'': Fleeing her abusive family, a young woman finds herself among the cursed denizens of Whistling Tor. Acting as scribe to the deformed chieftain, she takes it upon herself to break the curse. Heavy elements from Medieval Ireland.
* ''Literature/TheLastWish'': In "A Grain of Truth", Geralt encounters a man transformed into a beast by a curse. Many of the elements of the fairy tale are here, but the actual situation is deconstructed, ''Witcher'' style.
* ''Literature/{{Pulchritude}}'': "...an ugly tale of beauty." Dark and grimmified retelling in a culturally anachronistic version of pre-Renaissance Italy.
* ''Literature/RoseDaughter'': After a fall into poverty, Beauty lives with her father and sisters in small Rose Cottage. Trading her freedom for her father's life, Beauty's skill in tending roses becomes important when she finds that the Beast's rose garden is dying. Will she be able to save the garden? And what about the magic surrounding the Beast? Focused on the roses and magic, this retelling may not end quite how we expect.
* ''Literature/TheScarletFlower'': The definitive Russian-language literary version.
* ''Literature/TimeLordFairyTales'' has "Helena and the Beast". A woman discovers that her scientist father's latest employer is a monster who seeks a cure for his state. Realizing the creature's loneliness, she agrees to live in his mansion in exchange for her father's release. Of course, The Doctor is involved in the resolution.
* In the children's book ''Literature/WhateverAfter: Beauty Queen'', siblings Abby and Jonah accidentally create a FracturedFairytale version of the story, and have to work hard to get all characters their HappilyEverAfter. Pretty much none of the actual plot survives intact.
[[AC:Films -- Live Action]]
* ''Film/BeautyAndTheBeast1946'': This version codified the "Handsome but Villainous Suitor" character, and has influenced the visual design of many subsequent adaptations, including the 1991 Disney animated version.
* ''Film/BeautyAndTheBeast1962'': The first English film adaption of the fairy tale. The heir to the throne turns into a werewolf-like Beast because of a curse cast by an alchemist his deceased father killed many years ago.
* ''Film/BeautyAndTheBeast2014''
* ''Film/BloodOfBeasts'': A Norse princess seeks to rescue her father from imprisonment at the hands of a bestial creature cursed by Odin.

Netvor is a horrifying bird-monster with a taste for blood. Wiil he succumb to his thirst, or will the power of love allow him to gain humanity? A dark, grim czech adaptation with a good deal of GothicHorror along the way.
* ''Film/{{Rigoletto}}'': A young girl befriends and takes singing lessons from a disfigured man who is thought by the rest of the town to be a monster. Non-romantic retelling of the ''Beauty and the Beast'' story beats, with a few elements inspired by ''Literature/ThePhantomOfTheOpera''.

* The ''Beauty and the Beast'' installment of ''Series/FaerieTaleTheatre'': Intended to be kid-friendly, but also very much a homage to ''Film/BeautyAndTheBeast1946''.

[[AC:Web Animation]]
