The new adaptation starring Emma Watson as Belle and Dan Stevens as the Beast makes many departures from the 1991 animated feature. While most are extensions of the original plot, fans may be a bit bummed to see that some iconic moments don't make their way into the reimagining of the tale as old as time.
Keep reading to see seven moments you won't see in Disney's live-action version of "Beauty and the Beast."
The animated movie shows Belle fly across the library on a ladder to choose a new book.
Disney
In the live-action movie, we never see Belle race across a bookshelf gracefully.
This isn't even from the beginning of the movie!
Disney
Fans may have thought this early behind-the-scenes photo (above) was previewing an early scene from the film, but it turns out this is actually an image of Belle in the Beast's giant library.
When Belle goes to get a book at the film's start, she doesn't even head to a library. She has a pretty somber interaction at a church.
One of the best parts of Belle's opening song is when she sits down and shows off her new book to a flock of sheep.
Disney
One of them humorously ends up tearing part of a page from Belle's book.
He clearly just doesn't care about Prince Charming or learning his true identity in Chapter three. The guy on the right looks pretty invested.
Disney
Don't expect any sheep in the new movie. Instead, Belle sings the lyric about a mysterious Prince Charming to no one in particular while aimlessly reading her book.
Belle doesn't even sit down at a fountain to read!
Disney
When Gaston asks for Belle's hand in marriage, he gets tossed out of her cottage headfirst into a pile of mud.
He makes friends with a cute pig!
Disney
The marriage proposal is much less heated in the live-action film.
Disney
Gaston never sets a foot in Belle's door so he doesn't get a chance to take his boots off. He also doesn't wind up in mud. Belle just flatly rejects him.
One of the most memorable scenes in the 1991 feature is when Belle gently plucks a dandelion before releasing it into the wind.
There's just something fanciful about those wisps dancing in the wind.
Disney
This is the closest we get to Emma Watson lying on the grass in the new film.
Disney
We do get to see Watson's Belle run and sing out in an open field though.
When Belle encounters the Beast, everyone waits with bated breath for him to step into the light.
Disney
The live-action film sucks some of the thrill out of the reveal by having Belle step toward the Beast to see him.
Disney
Gaston flexes some serious muscles during the bar song when he tells everyone that "as a specimen, yes, I'm intimidating."
Disney
The line loses its luster a bit when Luke Evans attempts a less-than-stellar flex.
Disney
Unlike the brash misogynistic Gaston we're introduced to in the original film, Luke Evans' version of the character is a more likeable guy. The live-action Gaston is a war hero who the small French village adores.
"The only reason he’s got this celebrity status in Villeneuve is because when he was about 16, he protected the town from a pack of Portuguese marauders in 1740," Evans told EW.
During the song "Something There," the Beast attempts to hurl a giant snowball at Belle, but instead it ends up hilariously crumbling down on his head.
Disney
The scene's meaning changes when Belle is the one who literally gets knocked out by a snowball in the live-action version.
