People who watched The Bachelor last night received a present even better than Corinne playing with a voodoo doll: During one of the commercial breaks, Disney premiered the final, 150-second trailer for Beauty and the Beast. It was magical: Belle (Emma Watson) brought the heart. The Beast (Dan Stevens) delivered the feels. Gaston (Luke Evans) supplied the perfectly coiffed hair. And Ariana Grande and John Legend provided the soundtrack.

Yes, the "Dangerous Woman" and the Legend himself took a crack at Beauty and the Beast's iconic, titular song. Before you Celine Dion purists roll your eyes (she sang "Beauty and the Beast" for the original animated film in 1993), just listen to Ariana Grande and John Legend's rendition. It's pretty wonderful. In fact, if you have just a little bit of Disney magic in you, it will bring tears to your eyes. (Nickelodeon snobs, unfortunately, will feel nothing.) Check it out for yourself in the trailer, below. (The song starts around the 1:35 mark.)

It's really good, right? Grande and Legend's vocals blend together quite nicely. They each have the range to give this track the larger-than-life performance it deserves. In fact, when the song hits its sonic climax, I feel like a kid riding Space Mountain for the first time at Disney World. (Don't judge me. I know you feel it too!)

This extended trailer and song snippet are just the latest of several sneak peeks to come from Beauty and the Beast. Disney has been teasing this film for months. We've seen everything from the cast table read to Belle's updated opening dress—not to mention several mini trailers along the way. We're excited, Disney! You've done your job.

Beauty and the Beast rolls into theaters March 17, 2017. Let the countdown officially begin. (Just kidding. I've been counting down since, like, last August.)
