Emma Watson Beauty And The Beast Lyrics

The classic tale of a beautiful young woman who sees past the beastly exterior of a cursed prince has been adapted numerous times, not just in animated form but also as a musical, TV shows in 1987 and 2012, and the Meat Loaf video for 'I'd Do Anything For Love (But I Won't Do That)'.

Disney's been flirting with an adaptation of the story since 2009, though initially it was planned as a film version of the Broadway musical.

Emma Watson will play Belle, the woman who is taken to live in the Beast's castle. It's a casting decision pretty much everyone was happy with, including Paige O'Hara who voiced Belle in the 1991

's Bard The Bowman Luke Evans stars as Belle's suitor Gaston. Disney has revived some of the late Howard Ashman's lyrics to 'Gaston' that were considered too risqué for the original animation, so expect an even more obnoxious take on the villain.

There's a quality voice cast on board too, bringing to life the enchanted tableware who live in the Beast's palace as his domestic staff.

Beauty And The Beast' Turns 30

Ewan McGregor provides the pipes for Lumiere, the candlestick, Emma Thompson is Mrs Potts the Teapot, while Sir Ian McKellen is Cogsworth the clock.

2017 is an adaptation of the 1991 Disney animation and so will broadly follow the plot of that film, which itself was loosely based on the French fairytale by Jeanne-Marie Leprince de Beaumont.

The Beast was a prince, cursed for his arrogance by an old woman who he refused to help, via an enchanted rose. He's transformed into a creature and will have to remain so forever unless he can find true love before the rose's last petals fall.

He lives in a big old castle surrounded by his former serving staff who have been transformed into household objects. (Bit harsh on them.)

Belle is a smart, independent young woman who's being aggressively pursed by Gaston, who she repeatedly rejects. One day her dad Maurice gets lost in the forest and stumbles into the Beast's castle. He detains him but Belle offers to swap, leading to romance between the two.

They're also putting a bit of a feminist twist on Belle's backstory – which should come as no surprise considering Watson personal record. And no, she won't be wearing a corset.

Hear Emma Watson Sing For The First Time In Beauty And The Beast

. I was like, 'Well, there was never very much information or detail at the beginning of the story as to why Belle didn't fit in, other than she liked books. Also what is she doing with her time?'

So, we created a backstory for her, which was that she had invented a kind of washing machine, so that, instead of doing laundry, she could sit and use that time to read instead. So, yeah, we made Belle an inventor.

Like the animated Belle, Watson's version is also very bookish, and Watson says she has something of a spiritual link to her most recognisable character, Hermione Granger from the Harry Potter franchise.

It's interesting, actually, the last day that we finished on set was the anniversary of the day I was cast as Hermione, she said.

Someone had sent me an email to say that. I felt this strange sense of completion or full circle. I did feel they were spiritually linked in some way, for sure.

Belle Reprise (short Version)

It'll be a musical featuring songs from the animated feature - and Emma Watson for one is a bit terrified of singing.

He's confused about what he wants. It's somebody who's just realising that he has these feelings, he added. And Josh makes something really subtle and delicious out of it.

And that's what has its pay-off at the end, which I don't want to give away. But it is a nice, exclusively gay moment in a Disney movie.

It's a first for Disney and something fans had been asking for for a while. Not everyone is overjoyed by the inclusion though - a cinema in Alabama has decided not to show the film while Russia has classified it as 16+.

We started off with just a teeny, sneak-peek teaser which offers glimpses of the Beast's house (which incidentally, based on the cartoon, would set you back about £15 million now according to estate agents) and a brief exchange between Lumiere and Cogsworth, before offering us a peak at Belle's brow.

A sizzling table-read teaser with Emma Watson and Dan Stevens was released ahead of that, giving up a little taste of what's in store – it's bristling with sexual tension!

It ultimately lost to the film’s title song, Beauty and the Beast.

Belle is a song written by composer Alan Menken and lyricist Howard Ashman for Walt Disney Pictures‘ 30th animated feature film Beauty and the Beast (1991). It is a mid-tempo French and classical music-inspired song that incorporates both Broadway and musical theatre elements. Belle was originally recorded by American actress and singer Paige O’Hara and American actor Richard White.

It is the film’s first song and the opening number. Belle appears during Beauty and the Beast as a large-scale operetta-style production number. It introduces the film’s heroine Belle, considered a book-loving nonconformist by the townspeople of the village.

She has grown weary of the provincial life in which she is supposed to live. Belle is also wary of Gaston, the film’s narcissistic villain who wishes her hand in marriage despite Belle’s repeated rejections.

Belle” has been universally acclaimed by film and music critics. Musically, the song has been compared to various musical numbers from the musical films West Side Story (1961) and The Sound of Music (1965), as well as the Broadway musicals Fiddler on the Roof and She Loves Me.

The song was similarly featured in a Broadway musical based on the film, originally performed by American actress and singer Susan Egan. There was a 2017 live-action adaptation of Disney’s 1991 classic animated film “Beauty and the Beast”. This version stars Emma Watson singing as Belle and has a few different lyrics and speaking segments compared to the one for the animated film.
