Very cool. Disney unveiled our very first (very brief) look at Emma Watson as Belle in the live-action Beauty and the Beast but I didn’t realize just how close the trailer was to the 1991 original cartoon.

The trailer alone has already managed to break records, becoming the most viewed teaser in history in its first 24 hours with 91.8 million times in its first 24 hours.

The film also stars Dan Stevens as the Beast; Luke Evans as Gaston, the handsome, but shallow villager who woos Belle; Oscar® winner Kevin Kline as Maurice, Belle’s eccentric, but lovable father; Golden Globe® nominee Ewan McGregor as Lumiere, the candelabra; six-time Tony Award® winner Audra McDonald as Madame Garderobe, the wardrobe; Oscar nominee Ian McKellen as Cogsworth, the mantel clock; and two-time Academy Award® winner Emma Thompson as the teapot, Mrs. Potts.

If you want a more detailed look at the trailer, here it is on its own:
