Beauty and the Beast
La Belle et la Bête
2014 · Film · 112 min
Directed by Christophe Gans
Forced to face the cruel side of life, a devastated, bankrupt merchant chances upon the enchanted castle of a hideous creature, the mere sight of it chills the bone to the marrow. There, a fate worse than death awaits the poor father-of-six, who, after plucking a sweet-scented rose from the repulsive master's verdant garden, must do the impossible: permit his compassionate daughter, Belle, to take his place and pay for the sins of her parent. Now, an impenetrable mystery shrouds the haunted mansion, and, as repugnance gradually turns into affection, only true love could break the spell.

He had an interesting non-Disney Beauty and the Beast movie from 2014 that is worth watching if you liked Brotherhood of the Wolf. International reviews were more critical of it, but it was well received in France, at least.

There’s a French live action Beauty and the Beast which was rereleased in the US to take advantage of the hype around Disney’s remake - and it’s actually darn good for a $5 supermarket checkout movie.
Disney sued nobody.
