Watch Emma Watson Sing 'Belle' In First 'Beauty And The Beast' Trailer

She's practically perfect.

Disney have unveiled the first clip from the upcoming live-action adaptation of 'Beauty and the Beast' featuring Emma Watson's rendition of 'Belle' the opening song from the 1991 classic.

Much like the animated film, the song introduces us to Belle and the village in which she lives.

While some critics have questioned how the musical nature of the animated film will translate to the live-action landscape, Watson does a pretty convincing job of quashing any doubts throughout the 57-second snippet.

Here's the original scene, for comparison:

We learn that Belle is a bookworm, and wants more in life than to settle down. Don't pretend like you don't remember these lyrics:

"There goes the baker with his tray, like always. The same old bread and rolls to sell. Every morning just the same. Since the morning that we came to this poor, provincial town."

We're quite sure those singing lessons have paid off.

The countdown till March 23 begins!
