I remember when the original Disney Beauty and the Beast first came through animation. I was 11 years old in 1991 when it hit theaters. Such a classic! I have saved so many of those classic Disney movie VHS tapes from when I was a little girl. Now you can get a sneak peek at the new Disney Beauty and the Beast movie.
See a glimpse of the highly anticipated film based on the animated classic which refashions the iconic characters and musical numbers from the tale as old as time.
Check out the official trailer below:
The live action musical stars Emma Watson, Dan Stevens, Luke Evans, Kevin Kline, Josh Gad, Ewan McGregor, Stanley Tucci, Ian McKellen and Emma Thompson. The film is directed by Bill Condon and produced by David Hoberman and Todd Lieberman along with executive producers Jeffrey Silver, Thomas Schumacher and Don Hahn.
The film stays true to the original music while updating the score with several new songs. Beauty and the Beast is the fantastic journey of Belle, a bright, beautiful and independent young woman who is taken prisoner by a beast in his castle. Despite her fears, she befriends the castle’s enchanted staff and learns to look beyond the Beast’s hideous exterior and realize the kind heart and soul of the true Prince within. The film stars: Emma Watson as Belle; Dan Stevens as the Beast; Luke Evans as Gaston, the handsome, but shallow villager who woos Belle; Oscar® winner Kevin Kline as Maurice, Belle’s eccentric, but lovable father; Josh Gad as Lefou, Gaston’s long-suffering aide-de-camp; Golden Globe® nominee Ewan McGregor as Lumiere, the candelabra; Oscar nominee Stanley Tucci as Maestro Cadenza, the harpsichord; Gugu Mbatha-Raw as Plumette, the feather duster; six-time Tony Award® winner Audra McDonald as Madame Garderobe, the wardrobe; Oscar nominee Ian McKellen as Cogsworth, the mantel clock; and two-time Academy Award® winner Emma Thompson as the teapot, Mrs. Potts.
Directed by Oscar® winner Bill Condon from a screenplay by TBD based on the 1991 animated film, the film is produced by Mandeville Films’ David Hoberman and Todd Lieberman with eight-time Oscar-winning composer Alan Menken, who won two Academy Awards® (Best Original Score and Best Song) for the 1991 animated film, providing the score, which will include new recordings of the original songs written by Menken and Howard Ashman, as well as several new songs written by Menken and three-time Oscar winner Tim Rice.

The new trailer for Disney’s Beauty and the Beast recently aired on ABC’s broadcast of The Bachelor featuring new footage and Ariana Grande and John Legend’s duet of the iconic song Beauty and the Beast.
Five-time GRAMMY® winning and best-selling recording artist Celine Dion will perform an all-new original song, “How Does A Moment Last Forever,” for Disney’s live-action Beauty and the Beast. The song will also be included on the film’s soundtrack.
Dion originally performed the duet “Beauty and the Beast” – featuring Menken’s haunting melody and two-time Oscar-winner Howard Ashman’s unforgettable lyrics – with Peabo Bryson for the animated film. The song became an instant classic and went on to receive an Academy Award®, Golden Globe® and three GRAMMY Awards.
Menken also provides the film score along with new recordings of the classic songs from the animated film written by himself and Ashman. The original motion picture soundtrack will be released by Walt Disney Records on March 10, 2017. The pre-order is available now at http://disneymusic.co/BeautySndtrkP.

I LOVE beauty and the beast when I was a kid and I love it today My kids loved this movie
I cannot even begin to tell you how excited my whole family is about this movie. We all love Disney animated classics, and this is one of our top favorites. My favorite scene is when Beast gives Belle the library. It will be so amazing to see what that will look like in love-action!
I know a lot of people are excited for this movie but me not so much. I wish they would stop remaking the classics into live action….the only one that deserves a live action is the Hans Christian Anderson version of the little mermaid (the one where the mermaid is blonde and has a small blue fish for a friend).
The piano notes at the end of the trailer actually made me tear up! I can’t think of an actress more suited to play Disney’s ‘Belle’ than Emma Watson. I’m dying to hear what the three new songs by Alan Menken sound like, especially with Broadway legend Audra McDonald playing Belle’s armoire. I can’t wait for this new movie! And the soundtrack. And the making-of-book. And the dolls. And the posters…
