beautyandbeastDisney are releasing a brand new live action movie on 17th March 2017: Beauty And The Beast. We’re all extremely excited to report this awesome news but we’re even more excited to watch it (I know for sure Jessica’s gonna go see it!).

When it was announced it would be released, the media went wild and were all desperate to know who would be playing Belle? Well, when it was announced that they had  casted Emma Watson there was some mixed emotions from many people, mainly they were very happy, but some only saw her as Hermione Granger. In our eyes, Emma Watson is perfect to play Belle and we are very happy that they casted her, and are excited to see her featured in the movie!
