Disney and WEBTOON have announced a new initiative called Disney Cursed Love, a romantasy series that will be available on the service. More stories will be available to read on WEBTOON at a later date.
The initiative will begin with The Curse of a Forsaken Heart, written by Emily McIntire and drawn by Samairu, which will be available first on WEBTOON as a webcomic, before expanding into print across multiple formats in 2027. The synopsis, according to a press release, is as follows:
“Belle and the Beast (in its human form) get sucked into a magical world through an enchanted stained-glass window. Once trapped, they quickly realize the fate of the realm is tied to the kingdom’s princess, Emberlynne: a woman who didn’t yield to the marriage proposal of an evil sorcerer. As a result of her refusal, the entire kingdom is cursed to live without love and anyone who steps foot inside it is also cursed. Belle and the Beast will have to not only find their way back to their own love, but also help the princess find hers in order to lift the curse from the kingdom and return home.”
