I just stumbled upon this on one of my movie channels and it got a say.
I love it... i'll try not to spoil to much for those who haven't watched in my review
At the time of its release, it would have been a new version of Beauty and the Beast... Just half way thought Beast falls in love with Beauty's older, fiery sister.
As it even has some of the same beats... The Beast, a grotesque (but not really) man kidnaps Beauty for reason that he believed he was wrong in some way by her, and or people connected to her. The Beauty, while under a spell (this movie) somewhat worms her way into the Beast heart, while still annoying him to a degree... but softest him up, just a tiny bit.
After that it goes off from the normal Beauty and Beast format with the sister...
