It seems like almost everyone is counting down the days until the live-action adaptation of Disney's Beauty and the Beast hits theaters on March 17. While the movie will undoubtedly introduce a whole new generation to Belle's fiercely independent spirit and beautiful love story with the Beast, those of us who grew up on the original movie from 1991 are probably on a whole different level of excited. One of the most timeless aspects of the movie is the theme song, "Beauty and the Beast." Ariana Grande and John Legend beautifully re-create it for the new film, but it was Celine Dion and Peabo Bryson who brought those words to life 26 years ago. The music video for the track is so '90s in between the clips from the animated film, but the song will never not make us emotional.
