belle et sebastien 3

Sebastien is happy with Belle and her three pups. At his (step-)parents Pierre and Angelina's wedding, he is shocked to overhear, hidden under the table, that even grandpa Cesar agrees with their ploy to pretend going on honeymoon while actually they prepare emigrating to Canada. Only distracted at school, he's shattered when a certain Joseph arrives in an army jeep, who claims Belle as his runaway from years ago, and demands the pups too. Cesar can't reason with him, nor buy the dogs from him and the mayor sees no legal recourse after asking around confirms he was Belle's previous owner. Sebastien decides in full winter to run away with the canine family, first to a desolate mountain cabin, in spring to Italy. Cesar drags the mayor along on a search for the runaway rascals and the truth about sinister Joseph, who gets hold of the dogs and locks them up in his village.
