After seeing the new life-action remake of Beauty and the Beast, I couldn't stop thinking about the ways Emma Watson made the perfect choice for our heroine, Belle.

1. She made the role more than the sum of it's parts.

She's a classical book worm. She's devoted to her father. She has the biggest heart. She's curious. Beyond all of those traits, Watson's depiction of Belle carries a greater weight of being interesting, independent, and clever on top of being unmistakably beautiful.

2. She gets angry.

One emotion not too many princesses have been showcased with is anger. Watson's Belle is shown not only grappling with anger but also injustice.

3. She's more than a damsel in distress.

In press coverage Watson did with Buzzfeed, she talked about a conversation she had with directors asking if Belle could be the inventor in the story. While the story line will forever have an air of "helpless" princess, Watson brought some color and reality to the life of Belle, a more "modern" woman.

4. Her voice parallels the enchantment of the original, animated princess.

Let's face it, Emma Watson can do it all really.

6. And this one.

7. I leave you with this.

So, I suggest you stop what you're doing, and buy your tickets now! You don't want to miss out!
