It is a lovely moment and a classic Disney scene. In the end, it doesn't matter how good the remake is, as we will always have the original and its fantastic music.

Nearly as iconic as Belle's yellow ballgown is Mrs. Potts, the animated teacup, including the movie's title song as Belle dances with Beast.

NEW YORK (AP) — For one night only, served audiences a live performance as Mrs. Potts.
