Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
Obviously the Disney suits gave more than two figs about the legacy from the first Beast film, as they reassembled the former cast and spent some cash on production and tune-smithing for this straight-to-video effort. The events unfold between the time in the first film where Belle bartered herself to the Beast and her later return to the village to save her father. So the Beast's heart still hasn't been melted yet and he's susceptible to the inky persuasions of Forte (Tim Curry), a malevolent pipe organ (and former music teacher to the prince). Belle is still trying to win over the Beast and decides that bringing Christmas to the castle will be the way to do it. Please control that gag reflex for this does work remarkably well and though entirely unnecessary and certainly not a complement to the original, it doesn't tarnish its good name. --Keith Simanton

Synopsis
Featuring all the voices from the original with a host of new songs, it tells of attempts by Belle to warm the Beast's cold castle with the spirit and hope of the season.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not as Enchanting as the Original, But Fun Just the Same, 11 Nov 2003
By Mark Baker (Santa Clarita, CA United States) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Beauty And The Beast: The Enchanted Christmas [DVD] [1997] (DVD)
Belle has just been saved from the wolves by the Beast. As a way to show her appreciation, Belle decides that the castle will celebrate Christmas, even though the Beast has forbidden it. Surely it will bring hope and joy back to everyone in the castle, right?

But Forte, the former court composer, is against the idea. The current pipe organ has become used to being the Beast's confidant and advisor and is threatened by the idea of Beast falling in love and the spell being broken. Enlisting the aid of Fife, he tries everything he can think of to ruin Christmas and drive Belle and the Beast further apart.

Overall, I'm not too impressed with most of the Disney straight to video sequels. But this one is entertaining. The storyline is engaging, even if the ending is obvious from the start. The idea of setting the "sequel" in the middle of the original movie is wonderful, and helps develop all the characters. Yet the wrap around part shows us the human characters again and how things have changed. All the original voices are back, except for Bradley Pierce as Chip, who is replaced by Haley Joel Osment. In an effort to appeal to kids, the main target for this movie, Chip has a larger role in this one, but it really helps advance the story as well.

As with most Disney animated sequels there are two major flaws. The animation isn't as good as the original, although it certainly works to tell the story. Also, with the exception of "As Long As There's Christmas," the songs are immediately forgettable and actually take away from the enjoyment of the movie. Also, clocking in at just over an hour, it's pretty short.

The picture and sound on this DVD are fantastic. For a special edition, this DVD is short on extras, but the number they have are fitting the movie. There is an interesting making of documentary, but the rest of the features are for kids to enjoy.

If you go into this movie not expecting the brilliance of the original, you'll be entertained. And it will get you in the holiday spirit. What more can you really ask for?

5.0 out of 5 stars Very good..., 9 April 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Beauty & Beast Enchanted Christmas [DVD] [1997] (DVD)
Unlike so many sequels to Disney classics, 'The Enchanted Christmas' manages to capture the magic of the original production and even add to it. Perfect for the holiday season, this DVD is a must have for all kids collections.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not as good as the first, but well worthwhile, 23 Oct 2000
This review is from: Beauty & Beast Enchanted Christmas [DVD] [1997] (DVD)
Disney is the master of cartoons. Here we are re-united with the characters of Beauty and the Beast, and in a way that Disney manages to return our hero to being a beast without sacrificing the happy ending of the first movie. Worth having, at least until Disney releases the origional
