PETALING JAYA: In a new but not unexpected turn to the ongoing Beauty and the Beast saga in Malaysia, The Walt Disney Co (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd has lodged an appeal with the Home Ministry.

However, Malaysian Censorship Board (LPF) chairman Datuk Abdul Halim Abdul Hamid said despite the appeal, lodged with the Ministry's Film Appeal Committee, LPF will not change its mind.
