Disney will attempt to continue its trend of converting old animated properties into successful live action movies with Beauty and the Beast, and the first trailer for the film is now online!

The first teaser trailer gave us the setup for film, but with today’s full trailer, we get to see how the live-action and CGI mixes together to create the classic Disney fairytale for modern movie audiences. Not surprisingly, the results are Disney-level magical.
