'Beauty and the Beast' First Trailer Invites to 'Be Our Guest'

Disney has just released the teaser trailer of its live-action “Beauty and the Beast” from director Bill Condon. The trailer itself is brief with a quick look into Belle and ending to an invite for audiences to #BeOurGuest on the film's release date next year. 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. If you are not familiar with the classic film, “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.
