What’s old is new again in the latest Beauty and the Beast trailer. The upcoming live-action adaptation of the 1991 animated Disney film, starring Emma Watson and Dan Stevens, looks A LOT like the original. Don’t believe us? Check out these side-by-side comparisons to see just how similar they are:
