Are you tired of your provincial life? Wondering if there is anything more to it? Well, wonder no more because Saturday morning has brought a pleasant treat for Disney fans.

These new images come after almost three months since the teaser release. (YouTube)

The first photos from the sets of the upcoming live-action reboot of Academy Award nominated animated movie, Beauty and the Beast (1991) are here. We get our first look at the dashing Dan Stevens who plays Prince Adam (alter ego, Beast)...

Our first look at Lumiere and Cogsworth, voiced by Ewan McGregor and Ian McKellan respectively...

And also a look at Gaston, the villain, played by Luke Evans of The Hobbit fame.

Bonus: There is also a distant look at Belle, played by Emma Watson, and Gaston from what seems like the opening song of the movie.

The sets, costumes and tone of the movie look a lot similar to what we saw 25 years ago. Thankfully, Disney hasn’t brought too many changes to the classic, much like the live-action rendition of Cinderella in 2015.

After Beauty and the Beast, Dan Stevens lands TV show on X-Men’s Legion

Beauty and the Beast trailer: Emma Watson returns to epic fantasy

We are yet to get our first look at Emma Watson as Belle in the iconic yellow ball gown and Dan Stevens as the big, hairy, frightful beast but these pictures are sure to help with the waiting.

The movie is scheduled to release in March 2017.
