New "Beauty and the Beast (2017)" clip once again offers a look at a singing Belle (Emma Watson). This time, the lead character sings "Belle", one of the songs featured in classic animated "Beauty and the Beast". Although the clip is only a-minute-long, it offers better look at Belle's little town, which has warm, fairytale-ish atmosphere.
The clip opens with a clock striking eight. Women begin to open their windows and exclaim, "Bonjour!" Belle is wandering around her village, buying bread and patting a horse as she sings. Belle later greets her neighbor, hops on flat stones on the river and walks through a group of working women. Her gestures suggest that she's an independent young woman who doesn't mind about other people's opinion about her.
"Belle", first penned by Alan Menken and Howard Ashman, was included in classic "Beauty and the Beast" soundtrack. The animated movie's original theme titled "Beauty and the Beast", meanwhile, won an Oscar for best original song in 1992.
"Beauty and the Beast" live-action movie is directed by Bill Condon. It follows 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 musical film will feature Dan Stevens as Beast, Luke Evans as Gaston, Kevin Kline as Maurice, Josh Gad as Le Fou, Ewan McGregor as Lumiere, Stanley Tucci as Cadenza, Ian McKellen as Cogsworth and Emma Thompson as Mrs. Potts. The movie is set to hit U.S. theaters on March 17.
