There's a pretty great movie about this story; https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brotherhood_of_the_Wolf
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.

This is the story the film Brotherhood of the Wolf (with Mark Dacascos and Vincent Cassel) is based on. Long, action-packed, slightly confused, and very stylish; a good watch.
Fun French flick on a fictionalized version of this panic is a film called "Le Pacte des loups" or "Brotherhood of the Wolf".

Worth watching for some of that cultural milieu.
There are more obvious underrated movies, but one that rarely gets mentioned is Brotherhood of the Wolf with Mark Dacascos and Vincent Cassel.
A mix of opinions at the time, a few comments about genre confusion, but personally I'd say forget about all that and just watch it on loud in a dark room. Atmosphere by the ton, and massively entertaining.
'Le Pacte des Loups' (Brotherhood of the Wolf - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0237534/) was a 2001 french movie in which the beast turned out to be a wolf raised, bred and controlled by someone.
I remember a french action movie loosely based on this story: Le Pacte des loups, cool movie for some pandemic popcorn session :D
Great movie! Known in English as "Brotherhood of the Wolf", but best watched in French with English subtitles, as the English dubbing is terrible.

French film "Le pacte des loups" is inspired by this story
