Disney is putting the adult in Disney Adult. The Mouse House is famous for warm-and-fuzzy family entertainment — but it also has a stockpile of moody and magical love stories.

At D23 in Anaheim, Disney Publishing announced “Disney Cursed Love,” an all-new romantasy initiative inspired by some of the Mouse House’s “most iconic love stories.” The first in the series is “The Curse of a Forsaken Heart,” featuring Belle and the Beast, written by best-selling author Emily McIntire and illustrated by artist Samairu. That will be available first on Webtoon as a webcomic before expanding into print formats in 2027.
