** A TV series entitled ''[[Beauty and the Beast (TV series)|Beauty and The Beast]]'' ran on CBS from 1987-1990, starring Linda Hamilton and [[Ron Perlman]] as Catherine (the Beauty) and Vincent (the Beast). Despite its brief run and disappointing third season, it spawned a vast and enthusiastic fan following.
*** There is also a slight inversion, as kind Vincent's bestial (though still handsome) features never change. In fact it is shallow socialite Catherine who undergoes the transformation through love to have a beautiful soul to go along with her pretty features.
** The pair are still happily together after a thousand years of marriage in ''[[Fables (Comic Book)|Fables]]'', although not without their problems to overcome. Beast usually looks human in the series, but shifts between his human and bestial forms depending on his wife's moods towards him. Also slightly subverted as Beast is a all-round nice guy who doesn't really get that angry, while Beauty is occasionally seen as ambitious and overly-critical.
*** As Beauty puts it, a couple can't expect to be married for thousands of years without arguing at some point or another.
** Completely subverted in the PS2 game ''[[Grim Grimoire]]'' where yes, a man is cursed into a beast unless he gets together with a woman. Except that he's somewhat of a nerd, refuses to fall in love with anyone, and ''doesn't care'' what he looks like. Meanwhile, the ''beauty'' won't stop badgering him to fall in love with her so he can turn into a handsome man again.
