If you have BatB on iTunes (from the Diamond release), it's already showing the Extras for the Signature Edition, and on the Live Action Sneak Peek we have some nice backstage footage and pictures, including Emma and Dan reading lines, footage from the village, and what's probably our first look at Lumiere and Cogsworth's design! I can't post pictures of it but if anyone can, it would be great!

Cogsworth looks odd, but I could probably get used to it. Lumiere though... I'm not sure where the eyes/mouth are??? :lol:

I think Cogsworth looks rather cute, but am befuddled by Lumiere's design as well... They are more ornate than I expected.

I'm so excited for a glimpse at the Beast!

Interesting designs. Lumiere looks cool, but I wonder where is eyes and mouth will be. His upper part is kinda narrow, lol :lol: :lol: :lol:

Weird that it isn't Emma, but Josh looks fantastic as Lefou!!! Love Gaston's costume. This looks great

Funny. I can't see Ian McKellen's voice coming out of that. It looks a little too cute to be voiced by him.

Love Lefou's look, and Gaston's, and I really love how the Prince looks! He looks way handsomer than I thought he could be! Pretty much perfect! Oh, yay!

I had the same thought! The design looks even more comical than the animated film. I kind of imagine it walking around in an undignified sort of hobble. :lol: But I’m having an even more difficult time imagining McGregor’s voice coming out of the other design, or picturing it during “Be Our Guest”….

As for the picture of Stevens, I don't think that's a great shot of him, but I'm sure he'll be fine in the finished product.

Lumiere's body is a bit too twisted for me, but I'm sure he'll look better when actually moving around. Cogsworth is a really pretty design, but it feels more like just a stationary clock rather than an actual character right now. I can't imagine him coming to life, let alone dancing in Be Our Guest.

I like the shot of the prince. It's nice that his tunic and hair actually look like how he looks in the animated movie.

According to producer Jack Morrissey the image of Lumiere and Cogsworth is a concept art, but it's close to the final design. He also said that the images are from the sneak peek included in the Blu-ray and that we won't see Emma Watson as Belle in that sneak peek.


Here are two more images from the featurette:

I don't like Lumiere at all. He doesn't look "funny". I can't imagine him singing "be or guest" or having a fight with Cogsworth. Cogsworth looks very fragile, i don't know how he's going to walk.
Mss Potts looks horrible to me. I think that she should looks more sweet.
I don't like Gaston's outfit (the one that he wears in the concept art) He looks like an Spanish Conquistor and he should looks like a haunter not like if he were going to conquer a country. The one that he wears in the tavernlooks much better.
Lefou looks amazing, i don't have anything bad to say about him.
Belle looks very accurate to the classic movie but i don't like the boots or the hairstyle. I think that she would look better with other hairstyle than this one.

We have Mrs. Potts, Chip, and Wardrobe/Whatever she is now and some concept art/costume designs.

I hope Emma looks a hell lot better than the costume design makes her out to be!

I agree Thumper_93 and disneyprincess11!

Belle, first of all, has a dress too much like the original, and what new there is, is bad! Gaston, I like that they tried to make him look different from the original, but now he looks like a prince going to war and he looks bad. Mrs. Potts as a human looks great, but the enchanted object designs as a whole...well, turns out I don't think they're good except Lumiere and Cogsworth. Maybe I'll like them more in the movie.

I'm fine with the concept art for Belle, Gaston, and Mrs. Potts (human). I'm going to wait on commenting on the objects until I see them moving around/talking.
