It's no secret that CGI technology was employed during BEAUTY AND BEAST's iconic dance scene in which Dan Stevens's Beast escorts Emma Watson's Belle down the castle steps. In a newly released behind-the-scenes featurette on the making of the Disney live-action film, actor Dan Stevens is shown wearing a Lycra motion-capture suit and walking on stilts in order to make him appear that he is towering over his co-star. Check out a glimpse of the video!

BEAUTY AND THE BEAST arrives on Digital HD and Blu-ray June 6th with bonus features including never before seen BTS footage and interview with Celine Dion.

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. The film stars: Emma Watson as Belle; Dan Stevens as the Beast; Luke Evans as Gaston, the handsome, but shallow villager who woos Belle; Oscar® winnerKevin Kline as Maurice, BELLE'S eccentric, but lovable father; Josh Gad as Lefou, Gaston's long-suffering aide-de-camp; Golden Globe® nominee Ewan McGregor as Lumiere, the candelabra; Oscar nominee Stanley Tucci as Maestro Cadenza, the harpsichord; Oscar nominee Ian McKellen as Cogsworth, the mantel clock; and two-time Academy Award® winner Emma Thompson as the teapot, Mrs. Potts.
