‘Beauty And The Beast’ Oscars TV Spot Teases A Tale As Old As Time

A new TV spot debuted during the Academy Awards last night and the new Beauty and the Beast footage sure does look like…Beauty and the Beast.
From the footage we’ve seen so far, it certainly seems like Condon isn’t fixing anything that isn’t broken (even though I’m not entirely sure how I feel about some of the living object designs). The most important thing to note is that he has clearly gone full-musical, embracing the Broadway-friendly structure of the original movie.
Backing up those two central lovebirds are Kevin Kline as Belle’s father, Luke Evans as the pompous villain, Gaston, and Josh Gad as Gaston’s toady, Le Fou. The voices of the Beast’s various living household objects are provided by the likes of Ewan McGregor, Ian McKellen, Emma Thompson, Stanley Tucci, and Gugu Mbatha-Raw.
Beauty and the Beast is set to open on March 17, 2017. It certainly looks like it is going to make a whole bunch of money.
