It is a "tale as old as time," and after much anticipation, Disney has released the first trailer for the live action Beauty and the Beast movie. Following the success of other animated Disney movies turned live action, such as Cinderella, Maleficent, and more recently, The Jungle Book, Disney is inviting you to "be our guest" at the movies with Beauty and the Beast...okay that's enough song references for me!

You are probably familiar with the story by now, but if you aren't here is a quick synopsis: a monstrous prince and a young woman fall in love with the help of some household appliances. The film stars Emma Watson (Harry Potter) as Belle, Dan Stevens (Downtown Abbey) as the Beast, and Ewan McGregor (Star Wars Episodes 1-3) as Lumiere...just to name a few. There are many more big name actors attached to this film as well.

It looks like this film will be very similar to the original animated movie. It will be interesting to see how well it is put together. Although we have to wait until March 17, 2017 for the film to hit the theaters, we have the first official trailer for Beauty and the Beast RIGHT NOW!
