On the one hand, this sets off my creature kink LIEK WHOA. On the other hand, I can't stand Emma Watson. So I dunno.

Why don't you like her? /curious

I don't think she's a very good actress.

Oh, it sounded like you disliked her personally for some reason.

Fair enough I guess.

Same here. I can't stand Emma Watson and I think she's miscast as Belle. Give me Daisy Ridley as Belle instead.

Ooh, Daisy would be good. I'm pissed they passed over a golden opportunity with Gugu Mbatha-Raw though. I mean...the feather duster??? really????? ok.

BUT WHY DOES SHE STILL HAVE AN ENGLISH ACCENT??

As far as I can understand, the story is set in France, so if she's not actually speaking French, does it matter?

I'd rather have an attempt at a neutral less-English accent than an obvious English accent when it takes place in France (regardless of spoken language). And I know this probably my Canadian-ness coming out, because every place has some sort of accent to everyone else, but I think it's just the jarringness of that accent when I know it takes place in France.

I'm not suggesting the annoying 'two random French-accented people' like Phantom of the Opera, but there must be a middle ground somehow.

Emma Watson is bad at having a "neural" accent. She proved that in Perks of Being a Wallflower where her English accent kept slipping in.

What would you call a "neutral" accent? There's no such thing as "neutral" English, or any other language for that matter...

I know, that's what I said. I think to me it's less that I'm looking for something truly neutral and more just that it's really obviously English in a French setting, but I have no solution for that. :/ Like, how are the other characters speaking? If they're speaking with French accents then why isn't she?

Ok, that's fair. I guess I don't know what accents the other characters are using.

Evan McGregor said he was doing a French accent for Lumière, so at least one confirmed accent. (He also said he sounded Mexican because he's shit at accent, but anyway)

But why would another accent (American English?) be preferable in a French setting? That would be just as "artificial" as an English accent.

Or do you seriously want her to speak like Pepe le Pew?

Speaking with a French accent (or any other accent) to pretend to be from some place is a pet peeve of mine. I simply can't stand it. Either talk that language or ignore it completely and just talk English (or whatever other language the movie is in) like you would normally. I could not care less if the actors accent is Canadian, British, Australian or whatever.

I think I'm just looking for consistency of accents. If she's the only character with an English accent when we know it's France, it's more jarring than if they ALL have English accents (or Canadian, or American, etc).

Meh. I still remember that cat polyjuice potion, and Emma Watson/furry has nothing on furry Emma Watson.

Go to chruch u fucking furry.

... maybe it's my face blindness acting up but I think she looks a lot like Kristen Stewart in this picture.

Wait. This is real? I thought this picture was weird fanart :/

... pretty sure it was a leaked promo that's official?

There's already a live version, though? I watched a Beauty and the Beast series when I was a kid. This series: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0092319/

That's not the Disney version, though.
