Ahead of their Beauty and the Beast live action movie, Disney released a new doll supposedly modeled after Emma Watson's Belle earlier this month. Which is funny, seeing as how the Internet-at-large agreed that the doll -- with a strangely shaped head and unrealistic freckling -- looked less like a Disney Princess and more like Justin Bieber in a ballgown.
What the fuck is this? Did the plastic from Lord Farquaad's batch LEAK into Belle's vat at the factory?! 😒😒 pic.twitter.com/Q8uJJfDnE5

Thankfully, Mark Jonathan -- the artist behind those incredible RuPaul's Drag Race-inspired Barbie repaints -- took it upon himself to help Disney's design team out, and give Belle a real makeover.
Watch Jonathan's stunning reveal video below to see a doll worthy of the gorgeous Emma Watson.
