Disney released yet another new TV spot for Beauty and the Beast, starring Emma Watson (Hermione Granger) as the classic beauty, Belle. This teaser features Belle, always gorgeous and articulate, but gives new glimpses of the Beast’s attempts to be charming and woo her over.

Coming Soon gives a brilliant plot synopsis of the familiar tale:

Disney’s new Beauty and the Beast movie is a live-action re-telling of the studio’s animated classic which refashions the classic 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.

As the description suggests, the main tension in the story rests on whether Belle will see the man the Beast has grown to become, the truth that defies his terrifying nature. This clip gives us a taste of the beginnings of that grand will-they-or-won’t-they dance, which we know eventually culminates in the iconic, and literal, castle ballroom. See the tease of this awkward, yet endearing, courtship in the video below:

Beauty and the Beast also stars Dan Stevens as the Beast, Luke Evans as Gaston, Josh Gad as LeFou, Emma Thompson (Professor Trelawney) as Mrs. Potts, Ian McKellen as Cogsworth, Ewan McGreggor as Lumiere, and Kevin Kline as Belle’s father, Maurice. The film opens in theaters March 17, 2017.
