Watson, for her part, is excited to be on board Disney’s Beauty and the Beast. No sooner did TheWrap make their broadcast than she posted the following message on her Facebook page for her fans to read: I’m finally able to tell you… that I will be playing Belle in Disney’s new live-action Beauty and the Beast! It was such a big part of my growing up, it almost feels surreal that I’ll get to dance to ‘Be Our Guest’ and sing ‘Something There’. My six year old self is on the ceiling – heart bursting.
