Suzu is a shy high school student living in a rural village. For years, she has only been a shadow of herself. But when she enters “U”, a massive virtual world, she escapes into her online persona as Belle, a globally-beloved singer.

Critic Reviews:

• " With a multifaceted soundtrack boosting its emotional punch, Belle makes an old tale soar anew. " – Kevin Harley (Radio Times)

• " Belle takes familiar tales as old as time and upgrades them with swipe-down social commentary in a modern tale of love, loss and identifiable insecurities. Its as touching and transcendent as filmmaking gets. " – Matt Rodgers (Flickering Myth)

• " Belle is more than just another version of Beauty and the Beast. It's a highly imaginative, visually stunning, and emotionally stirring film that embodies some of the best anime of the 21st century. " – Carla Hay (Culture Mix)
