In the latest pictures from the upcoming Beauty and the Beast movie, we see Belle actively cleaning a lavish house and having a conversation with her father, portrayed by Kevin Kline. Emma Watson’s portrayal of Belle reflects her strong feminist beliefs. In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, she shared her thoughts on the original animated movie and how they incorporated her character’s backstory. They added a unique detail to Belle’s life by making her an inventor who created a washing machine so that she could spend more time reading instead of doing laundry. This added depth to her character and gave her a strong sense of purpose beyond just being a book-loving outsider.
In the modern version of the classic story, Belle is portrayed as an inventor and does not wear a corset. The costume designer, Jacqueline Durran, revealed that the actress, Emma Watson, refused to wear a corset under her dress. According to Durran, “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.” Emma, who has been a fan of the original movie since childhood, shared that she knew all the words and songs by heart. The release of the first official image came after leaked pictures of Emma in character surfaced online. Disney had only offered a small teaser trailer prior to the official image reveal.
In the latest image, Emma is seen sporting a replica of Belle’s iconic yellow-golden dress, which has become a fan favorite.
Only a sneak peek: Disney has not yet revealed much about their upcoming project, with the exception of a teaser that only features Emma’s eyes as she attempts to grasp the Enchanted Rose.
As the door made a creaking sound, Emma’s voice could be heard softly saying ‘hello?’. She then reached out to The Enchanted rose. Certainly, Emma and Dan make an ideal match to portray Beauty and her Beast. A glimpse was given in September, featuring the two reciting their lines while sitting at a table.

As a child, I lost count of the number of times I watched Beauty and the Beast. I knew all the words to the classic film and the catchy tunes by heart.

The upcoming movie boasts a cast full of renowned actors. Lumiere will be portrayed by Ewan McGregor, Mrs. Potts will be played by Emma Thompson, and Ian McKellen will take on the role of Cogsworth.
