Walt Disney Studios recently released new clips from its upcoming live-action reimagining of Disney's Beauty and the Beast, a tale of magic, love, overcoming fear and acceptance. In the most recent clip, Josh Gad who plays Le Fou sings the praises of Gaston (Luke Evans). It is always interesting when actors also sing in a film. I am excited to see if the vocals help or hurt the film's reception.

Official Synopsis from Walt Disney Studios:

Disney's "Beauty and the Beast" is a live-action retelling of the studio's animated classic which refashions the characters from the tale as old as time for a contemporary audience, staying true to the original music while updating the score with several new songs. “Beauty and the Beast” is the fantastic journey of Belle, a bright, beautiful and independent young woman who is taken prisoner by a beast in his castle. Despite her fears, she befriends the castle’s enchanted staff and learns to look beyond the Beast’s hideous exterior and realize the kind heart and soul of the true Prince within. The film stars: Emma Watson as Belle; Dan Stevens as the Beast; Luke Evans as Gaston, the handsome, but shallow villager who woos Belle; Oscar® winner Kevin Kline as Maurice, Belle’s eccentric, but lovable father; Josh Gad as Lefou, Gaston’s long-suffering aide-de-camp; Golden Globe® nominee Ewan McGregor as Lumiere, the candelabra; Oscar nominee Stanley Tucci as Maestro Cadenza, the harpsichord; Gugu Mbatha-Raw as Plumette, the feather duster; six-time Tony Award® winner Audra McDonald as Madame Garderobe, the wardrobe; Oscar nominee Ian McKellen as Cogsworth, the mantel clock; and two-time Academy Award® winner Emma Thompson as the teapot, Mrs. Potts. 

The film is directed by Oscar winner Bill Condon and the score by Oscar-winning composer Alan Menken. Disney's Beauty and the Beast hits U.S. theaters March 17.
