Beauty and the Beast (Live-Action)

Hmmm don't really know what to think of that wedding dress.. The part on her arms almost look like a tattoo sleeve, but maybe that's just the picture. Maybe when I see it in motion, I like it better.

We've seen those MadasaHatter, but thank you.

The costumes for Belle and the Prince (does he really not have a name?!) in their wedding are lovely but not really very good, I think.

It seems like a lot of merchandise toys are already out, you can find a lot on Instagram.

Plus: there's a first singing clip from Emma! It's taken from the Hasbro singing doll (so the quality is not very good), she sings 'Something There':

Just wondering, will a Art of-book of this movie be released?

I think/hope they'll release an art of book like they did with Maleficent and Cinderella: combine the art of the animated classic with the new live action.

Emma sounds really dang good

I doubt they'll do that, due to Disney having previously released two Art/Making off-books of the animated feature itself.

I was just seatching the internet fot the last artbook that came out, and I found our answer:

So they're updating the 'old' book, with the new movie! It's coming out January 31, 2017.

Whooops! Sorry.

I don't find Emma's singing to be very good, but it's still rather lovely.

But I wish Hasbro wasn't making the dolls. I wish it was back to Mattel. Mattel's Cinderella dolls were amazing.

I do like some of Hasbro's Princess dolls, but Mattel's Cinderella dolls were really pretty. I'm not a fan of what I've seen from Hasbro's Belle.

An expanded and much more clear version of Emma, singing

Yikes, she sounds very very young and she does an awkward pause with "alarming"

Hmmm, the clip is very short, and the quality isn't that good, but maybe she'll sound better in the movie.

She sounds lovely, though,

And Gaston's and Lefou's costumes are also on display now:

Longer and clearer audio of Watson singing released by Disney.

That is surprisingly ok. You can hear she's not a Broadway singer obviously, but she sounds clear and on key.

Oh and just a little side prediction here, this film is going to be absolutely massive at the box office.

There's just no personality behind her voice....
What I'm hearing is some random woman reading off lines from a karaoke machines.

Her voice reeks of Autotune, doesn't blend well with the music in the background, and falls flat.... No range what so ever...

To be completely honest, I think 2 things will end ruining this movie, Emma Watson and the director.

I don't understand why Disney didn't just hire someone else to do her singing voice if they desperately wanted to keep Emma Watson.

[disneyprincess11]

^AGREED. They could at least dub her like Zac Efron in High School Musical to enhance the singing.

Emma's tone is beautiful, but the problem is she sounds EXTREMELY EXTREMELY light and very young when Belle's voice is supposed to have power and maturity. Additionally, she keeps on cutting off the words and she's rushing the lyrics. I don't know why Disney would hire her if she can't sing the score right. I'm very worried about her Belle reprise.

That's because she wasn't hired because of her amazing acting/singing chops but because of her activism and built-in fanbase. I think she's just wrong for the role, not only there is too much baggage from her Harry Potter days but she just doesn't feel like Belle to me nor do I think she's that good of an actress to pull it off. My choice would have been Natalie Portman (only nine years older than Watson -- but probably like 30 in Hollywood years) or they should have gone with an unknown. But then, I'm not okay with this movie being made at all, so...

[Disney Duster]

Yes, she's not that good of a singer, but I am surprised how lovely the full, clear verson of her singing is.
