Emma Waston, 26, brings her childhood Disney ...

Emma Waston, 26, brings her childhood Disney hero to life. The British actress played the beautiful girl Belle in Disney’s new live-action movie Beauty and the Beast. She also sang for the role, the first time she has done so in her career.

The movie came out on March 17, 2017. It tells how a cursed (被诅咒的) man-beast is changed into a handsome prince by the love of Belle.

To star in the role, Waston turned down the offer of La La Land, which won six awards including the Best Actress at this year’s Oscars. However, she does not regret it. She told Vanity Fair that she believes the movie says something that is important for people to hear.

This is not her first time being invited to play a Disney princess. She refused to offer to play Cinderella. But she happily took on Belle because she saw her as a better role model. Belle doesn’t mind Beast’s ugly appearance and sees his good heart within. “She remains curious, compassionate (富有同情心的) and open-minded,” she told Total Film. “She is not easily changed by other people’s ideas.

But to build her own version of Belle, Waston had a hand in shaping the character. She wanted Belle to be busy instead of just playing in the castle all day. So she had the idea of turning Belle into an inventor, like her father. And Belle even made a washing machine herself, though people broke it. She wanted it to free girls from housework and allow them to learn how to read. She told Entertainment Weekly that people breaking the washing machine was symbolic of people breaking Belle’s spirit and pushing her to become the woman they wanted her to be.
