In Disney’s newest trailer, we meet Emma Watson as Belle as she strolls through town singing in the opening scene of Beauty and the Beast and it’s as awesome as we had hoped for!
Emma Watson is stepping to her own tune in “Belle,” the opening number from Beauty and the Beast.
Disney released a clip from the upcoming live-action adaptation of the 1991 animated film, which sees Watson singing while strolling through her little town, full of little people, waking up to say, “Bonjour.”
The clip shows that the dialogue of the ambitious opener — written by composer Alan Menken and lyricist Howard Ashman — has been slightly tweaked, but still showcases Belle’s penchant for books.
The new Beauty and the Beast stars Emma Watson as Belle and Dan Stevens as the Beast. The film hits cinemas worldwide on March 17 and the soundtrack is released the same day.
