Belle, the new animated film, is set to release in Japan on the 16th of July 2021. This will be the official debut of the tale but the plans regarding its international release, have not been disclosed yet by Studio Chizu. Although, it might be safe to say that an international release is surely going to happen given the fact that the creators have dropped down an international trailer for the film.

The story of Belle follows the character Suzu who is 17 years in age and currently is studying in high school. She resides in the countryside of Kochi Prefecture along with her father after she has lost her mother at a very young age. This story, at the start, gets quite emotional as we see Suzu dancing and singing with her mother. But after her mother dies, she is just not able to sing anymore because of the trauma. We will see that even her father will indulge himself in work and Suzu will grow even more distant from him. This is the point where she will decide to build a solid wall around her heart and lock herself in from the rest of the world.

This is when she comes face to face with a new reality where a little creature which looks like a dragon, appears in front of her. As per the official synopsis of Belle, it has been described that this online platform will create another reality as well as another Belle where she will not be limited to the walls of her original world.
