Beauty and the Beast First Look

Have you seen the latest photos from the new live action version of Beauty and the Beast? They look amazing!

Lumiere, voiced by Ewan McGregor, and Cogsworth, voiced by Ian McKellan, are so incredibly detailed. They look almost like a real candlestick and clock.

While Gaston is only seen from the back, it really looks like Luke Evans has embraced the villainous role. And Josh Gad seems like a perfect choice for Lefou.

This glimpse of Emma Watson as Belle shows her reaching for the enchanted rose.

Dan Stevens looks like he's really enjoying playing Prince Adam with his flowing blond locks and poofy white shirt.

All of these images are taken from a behind the scenes special that will be part of the 25th anniversary re-release of Beauty and the Beast (cartoon) on Blu-ray next month. Beauty and the Beast (live action) arrives in theaters on March 17, 2017.

I love this Zootopia shirt from the Disney Store. It just cracks me up every time I see it.

Princess Legos

The latest Disney Princess Lego sets are too sweet. There's a large Beauty and the Beast castle set and a smaller Rapunzel set.

Belle’s Enchanted Castle has 374 pieces. It also includes several characters, including Belle, the Beast (with a removable mask so he can become Prince Adam), Lumiere, Cogsworth,  Mrs. Potts, Chip, the Wardrobe, and the Feather duster. The Castle features multiple rooms, a balcony, stained glass window, and a rotating floor so Belle and the Beast can dance together. It's absolutely adorable, but it is rather expensive at $49.99.

Rapunzel's Best Day Ever has 145 pieces. It includes Rapunzel, a small tower, a swing (complete with a bad poster of Flynn Ryder) and Maximus the horse. This smaller set is more affordable at $19.99.

The Tsums are exploring their local dinosaur museum, with humorous results.

Yesterday was the 100th anniversary of the creation of the National Park Service. In honor of this momentous occasion, Google created a fantastic doodle celebrating the wonders of several parks. I loved it.

This Stan Lee Cameo Is Perfect

Marvel

I always look forward to Stan Lee's cameos in Marvel movies. They are absolutely hilarious and perfectly placed. His cameo in Captain America: Civil War was no exception. Without giving too much away, Tony and Rhodey are having a pretty rough day when a FedEx guy arrives with a package for "Tony Stank". This hysterical moment comes just when the characters, and the audience, could really use a laugh.

Perfect! Just perfect!
