The music box is easily activated by pulling the cord on the base plate and plays a dreamy melody inspired by the title song from the movie 'Beauty and the Beast'. As the melody begins, Belle's friends appear dancing in the windows, and the platform in the tower rotates. Belle wants to join in on the dance and quickly jumps up to the tower, where she spins with the music. It's bedtime, and the tower with its roof and flag covers the dancing, Belle. She quickly looks out of the window one more time before the window cover is closed. Now it's time to sink into the world of dreams.
