Be our guest…

…and join us while we watch the brief first teaser for Disney’s live action adaptation of ‘Beauty and the Beast’ above.

Starring Emma Watson as Belle, Dan Stevens as “la Bête”, and Luke Evans as Gaston, ‘Beauty and the Beast’ is directed by Oscar-winner Paul Condon who wrote and directed ‘Gods and Monsters’, and also directed the final two-part ‘Twilight’ film ‘Breaking Dawn’.

Although light on actual content and only the tiniest glimpse of ‘Harry Potter’ star Emma Watson as Belle, the teaser gives us a good look at the film’s sumptuous design including a snowy themed Disney ident right at the start.

We also get to hear Sir Ian McKellen as Cogsworth giving us a Gandalf-esque “you fool” while talking to Ewan McGregor’s Lumière.

Here’s the official synopsis, courtesy of Disney:

Disney’s “Beauty and the Beast” is a live-action re-telling of the studio’s animated classic which refashions the classic characters from the tale as old as time for a contemporary audience, staying 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.
