Meet one of the furry stars of BEAUTY AND THE BEAST!

The brand new live action musical film version of the classic animated Disney movie musical BEAUTY AND THE BEAST is currently in production in the UK featuring many of Broadway and Hollywood's best and a trio of new images are available to view direct from the set.

The official Snapchat of BEAUTY AND THE BEAST shared the pics earlier this week, showcasing the horse who will be seen with headlining star Luke Evans, who plays Gaston.

The three photos show a stately horse introduced as Magnifique, a classic trope of the fairy tale but now given a new moniker, with the message, "Hop on, Gaston!"

Of note, Snapchat participants who follow the user name Disney are regularly offered access to exclusive photos from the set of the film as well as a look at the official shooting screenplay and new Snapchat-ized images from the classic animated film, as well.
