Emma Watson Beauty And The Beast Song Lyrics

In 1992 at the 64th Academy Awards, Belle was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Original Song. 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.

The song was similarly featured in a Broadway musical based on the film, originally performed by American actress and singer Susan Egan.

, the film's costume designer, Jacqueline Durran said: The dress was designed with easy, active moment in mind – Watson isn't wearing a corset underneath.

In Emma's reinterpretation, Belle is an active princess. She did not want a dress that was corseted or that would impede her in any way.

She continued: [Belle's shoes] are heeled, 18th-century shoes, but they are something that Belle can run in and that she can go off and save her father in.

The scene that I wear that dress in, and I have that dance in, it really tells the story of Beast and Belle falling in love.

You know, we don't have a huge amount of time in the story to tell that story. The dance, for me, is really where the audience starts to see it happening and starts knowing that it is happening.
