A new poster for Disney’s Beauty and the Beast isn’t really new at all — but it’s gorgeous nonetheless.
Yesterday, Josh Gad teased on Twitter that we were in for a Beauty and the Beast surprise.
Keep your eyes peeled tomorrow morning for a #Beautyful post.

Turns out it was a new poster for Disney’s live-action remake, featuring the iconic rose that counts down the days until the Prince is stuck as the Beast forever:

This poster features the rose in its glass bell, still with all its petals.
Unlike in Disney’s original animated Beauty and the Beast from 1991, this rose is surrounded by ice and snow, making us only a tiny bit worried that this version of the story is taking place in Frozen‘s Arendelle.
