Ewan McGregor’s Lumiere lights up the first full trailer for “Beauty and the Beast,” Disney’s long-awaited live-action version of the classic animated movie.
Emma Watson also appears as Belle in a familiar bright yellow ball gown, with “Downton Abbey” alum Dan Stevens tricked out as the Beast to re-enact their famous dance.
There’s no actual singing in the new trailer, though we do hear the title song playing beneath the action.
Director Bill Condon’s remake follows Belle (Watson) as she sacrifices herself to save her father by going to live at the home of the Beast (Stevens). But over time she learns that he was once a dashing prince, cursed to look like a monster and that only true love can break the spell.
Disney has kept the final looks of Belle and the Beast under wraps, previously teasing supporting characters like Cogsworth (Ian McKellen) and Lumiere (McGregor), as well as Luke Evans as Gaston.
The film also stars Kevin Kline as Maurice, Josh Gad a Le Fou, Stanley Tucci as Cadenza and Emma Thompson as Mrs. Potts.
Jeffrey Silver, Thomas Schumacher and Don Hahn serve as executive producers with David Hoberman and Todd Lieberman producing.
