Is this it, by any chance? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sLV7spGG98I

I am trying to find a movie I saw once when I was little. I only remember small snippets and vague details.
Beauty and the beast type story, live action, in color. I don't recall the year it was made, but I would have seen it during the early-mid 90s. Many scenes had a definite surrealist tone. I recall a checkerboard patterned floor, and a scene wherein the beast told Belle the entire castle was there to amuse her, after which there was something to do with mimes or dancing.
To further help, I know 100% it is not the 1946 French film, nor is it any of the ones listed on Wikipedia's "Beauty and the Beast" disambiguation list.
Anyone know this one?
