While the most famous version of Beauty and the Beast isn't drastically different from the Disney versions, in the original story by Gabrielle-Suzanne Barbot de Villeneuve there are differences. Instead of The Prince being turned into a beast for being a terrible host/person, he was turned into a monster after an evil fairy tried to seduce him and was rejected.

That... I did not know. Do you reckon the same thing happened to all of my neighbors?
I didn't know about that fact at all, Adam. I love how you dig these things up for us.
I didn't know this was the original version! I think I like it even more than the Prince being mean.
I knew the story didn't originate with Disney.
Interesting, I didn't know this version.
Damn those pesky fairies
This is one that I did know and I like the old version.
I've read the 1st version and it's definitely interesting.
First time I hear of this version. Interesting
