As the screening date of Disney\u2019s live-action film of \u201cBeauty and the Beast\u201d fast approaches, many dolls resembling Belle and Beast have popped out of stores in the US.
But internet users were \u201cturned off\u201d with the physical appearance of a specific doll, which should look like the tale\u2019s protagonist, played by Emma Watson.
A photo of the Belle doll sparked online annoyance when William Herrington, a Colorado-based photographer and doll collector, saw the figurine being sold at a local mall. He posted pictures of the doll on Flickr.
In an interview with Buzzfeed , Herrington shared his dismay by calling the doll \u201catrocious.\u201d \u201cI knew that Disney Store\u2019s live-action dolls are never 100 percent accurate to the actors, but this one was atrocious!\u201d he said. \u201cHer face was shiny and covered in freckles and her head looked like it was being ripped open and torn where the hair was rooted into the head.\u201d
When asked if the toy resembled the actress, he said, \u201cAs for any resemblance to Emma\u2026There really isn\u2019t any.\u201d
Several Twitter users echoed Herrington\u2019s impressions of the Belle doll, with some comparing it to Justin Bieber, Jennifer Garner and Caitlyn Jenner. \u201cWhen you order an Emma Watson doll online but a Justin Bieber doll in a yellow dress and a wig arrives instead,\u201d one user tweeted.
Aside from Watson, the Bill Condon-directed movie stars Dan Stevens, Ewan McGregor, Kevin Kline, Josh Gad and Luke Evans.
\u201cBeauty and the Beast\u201d will deliver joy to Disney fans starting March 17. Gianna Francesca Catolico
