Walter Elias “Walt” Disney (December 5, 1901 – December 15, 1966) was an American film producer, director, screenwriter, voice actor, animator, entrepreneur, entertainer, international icon, and philanthropist. Disney is famous for his influence in the field of entertainment during the 20th century. As the co-founder (with his brother Roy O. Disney) of Walt Disney Productions, Disney became one of the best-known motion picture producers in the world. The corporation he co-founded, now known as The Walt Disney Company, today has annual revenues of approximately U.S. $35 billion.
Disney is particularly noted for being a film producer and a popular showman, as well as an innovator in animation and theme park design. He and his staff created some of the world's most famous fictional characters including Mickey Mouse, a character for which Disney himself was the original voice. He has been awarded four honorary Academy Awards and has won twenty-two competitive Academy Awards out of fifty-nine nominations, including a record four in one year, giving him more awards and nominations than any other individual. He also won seven Emmy Awards. He is the namesake for Disneyland and Walt Disney World Resort theme parks in the United States, as well as the international resorts Tokyo Disney, Disneyland Paris, and Disneyland Hong Kong.
Disney died of lung cancer in Burbank, California, on December 15, 1966. The following year, construction began on Walt Disney World Resort in Florida. His brother Roy Disney inaugurated the Magic Kingdom on October 1, 1971.
The Walt Disney Company (NYSE: DIS) (commonly referred to as Disney) is the largest media and entertainment conglomerate in the world in terms of revenue. Founded on October 16, 1923, by brothers Walt Disney and Roy Disney as the Disney Brothers Cartoon Studio, the company was reincorporated as Walt Disney Productions in 1929. Walt Disney Productions established itself as a leader in the American animation industry before diversifying into live-action film production, television, and travel. Taking on its current name in 1986, The Walt Disney Company expanded its existing operations and also started divisions focused upon theatre, radio, publishing, and online media. In addition, it has created new divisions of the company in order to market more mature content than it typically associates with its flagship family-oriented brands.
The company is best known for the products of its film studio, the Walt Disney Motion Pictures Group, today one of the largest and best-known studios in Hollywood. Disney also owns and operates the ABC broadcast television network; cable television networks such as Disney Channel, ESPN, and ABC Family; publishing, merchandising, and theatre divisions; and owns and licenses 11 theme parks around the world. On January 23, 2006, it was announced that Disney would purchase Pixar in an all-stock transaction worth $7.4 billion. The deal was finalized on May 5. On December 31, 2009, Disney Company acquired the Marvel Entertainment, Inc. for $4.24 billion. The company has been a component of the Dow Jones Industrial Average since May 6, 1991. An early and well-known cartoon creation of the company, Mickey Mouse, is the official mascot of The Walt Disney Company.

This was cute and the full cast performances were excellent. I missed the Beast though (this is set not long after he fights the wolves to save Belle and it explained that he is away recuperating). I can’t wait to listen to more of these Disney Audible Originals.

3.5 🌟 But rounding up. These Disney Audible originals are so cute and actually enjoyable for me too!

I wish the beast was there too. :)

Kids wanted an audio book on our long journey to PA. They enjoyed all the voice actors for each character and the story was mysterious and funny all at the same time.

I know I’m an adult listening to this but for me it was a miss. The story was less about what was going on and more about making sure all the characters stopped to give long monologues about appreciating one another and how “appearances can be deceiving”. If they said they once they said it over a dozen times, not to mention really driving home the “beauty is on the inside” message. Yes we know this is Belle from Beauty and the Beast and that’s the main message of that film but you don’t have to keep mentioning it, nor have weird nonsensical monologues to try and make that point come across.
Even for kids I think this wouldn’t have been as fun because of all the characters just talking about how awful they are to one another and then apologizing and explaining each others good points, the over-affirmation was strange. Just them stopping every so often to say “I think you’re wonderful”, “no you’re the one who’s truly wonderful” was a bit much. Also we don’t need the multiple explanations of how Belle is really coming to be ok with everything that happened to bring her to the castle now and the other characters want her to fall for the Beast. We saw the film, we know the Beast locked her up and it takes awhile for them to become friends and fall in love. Don’t need to keep having her say “I think he’s pretty nice once you get to know him” while at the same time they’re all avoiding waking him the whole story, that’s a bit contradictory.
The performances were ok, although I think the voice for Belle sounded more like Snow White and was too chipper the whole way through. Sounded like when you’d see Belle at a Disney park and not the Belle of the film. Cogsworth was probably the closest voice-wise. Overall just a Disney tale that tried a bit too hard to teach life lessons that had already been taught in the first film and should’ve just focused on the fun.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Belle and the Rose Riddle (Audible Audio) is a cozy fairytale remix that feels like curling up beside a flickering candle, the world hushed as a story unfolds in whispers and riddles.
🌹 Vibes:
A gothic fairytale glow- clever riddles, velvet shadows, and just enough tension to prick the skin and keep me listening.
🧩 Story Feel:
Smart, playful, and gently twisted. The riddles invite you to lean closer, the pacing moves with an easy confidence, and the story knows exactly when to reveal a glint of thorns beneath the roses.
🎧 Audio Magic:
The narration adds a spellbinding layer of warmth and immersion, making it effortless to sink into the world and let it carry you along like a dream you don’t want to wake from.
✨ Final Thoughts:
Disney Audible Originals continue to feel like hidden gems, and this one is no exception- cozy, clever, and quietly enchanting, with just enough darkness to make the magic linger.

Beauty and the Beast is my favorite Disney animated movie so I was really looking forward to this new story. I’ve listened to other Disney/Audible stories and this one just didn’t capture me the way others had. I think it was a mixture of the voice actress for Belle (it was too whiny/on the verge of tears?) and the repetitive nature of the mysteries. The ending was cute but it took me entirely way too long to finish - which is a sign I struggled to get through it.
Kids may like it better but I’m not sure the ending is quite worth listening to the whole story. They may also be disappointed with the big reveal.

All stars here are for the performances which were very good. The story itself stinks. Lame mystery that takes more time to explain itself at the end than it does to set it up. And what's worse is we get all these "lesson learned" moments at the end, even though I don't remember these characters learning those lessons or know how they would have learned them. My daughter liked it though, but for the same reason I liked it, for the performances.

This production is especially loud and noisy. The sound effects and music often overpower the narrator. It was a cute story though, slightly unsettling at times, but nostalgic for Beauty and the Beast fans.

It definitely was not for my age. But the narrators were amazing

Story was pretty good but the narration was awesome. My 4 and 7 year old loved it.

Very intense for tiny humans. The wolfs attacking and scenes of peril was quite a lot and made the story seem scary, when it was truly quite lovely. So that kinda ruined the vibe.
December 22, 2024
Pretty slow and boring.

A fantastic story of friendship, grace, and understanding
January 1, 2025
Absolutely charming! And such an individual invitation to join the story. You immediately feel like a special friend let in on special secrets!
March 31, 2025
The logic isn't really there and the messages are questionable (if you say you're sorry, you don't need to be help accountable for your actions causing real harm), but it's entertaining enough.

cute quick listen for an obsessed beauty and the beast retelling girlie
3.5/5 stars

Belle has a mystery to figure out, and has her friends to help her. And it was a sweet tale. And the narration was lovely.

The perfect amount of Disney cheese
