Beauty and the Beast: The Enchanted Christmas Audience Reviews

CommentsXp Best movie ever!
Pacionsbo Absolutely Fantastic
Francene Odetta It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.
jonconnormustlive-46298 Beauty and the Beast: The Enchanted Christmas is an in-between-quel set amidst the events of the first film. The cursed Beast (Robby Benson) has forbidden Christmas celebrations. But Belle (Paige O'Hara) thinks he just needs to see Christmas is all about.The Enchanted Christmas is completely pointless, but's made with the good Disney formula. The animation is good, songs are good, characters are likeable.Additionally to the main cast Tim Curry and Paul Reubens lend their voices to supporting roles. They really stand out and steal the show!I can see why some people don't really like this movie, but I think it's worth it, at least for the children.The other good news is that it doesn't turn into a preachy Christmas movie instead focusing on an interesting villain to keep the feel of a fairy tale throughout.I recommend it to less-demanding viewers.
amkblair I for one, loved this movie! It has everything the original had. Memorable songs, characters and plot. It's also the first film where we get to hear Belle sing her first solo: "Stories." We also hear Belle, accompanied by the enchanted servants sing "As Long as There's Christmas." This song alone makes the film stand out among the other Direct-to- Video sequels Disney released. Another thing this film offers is an extended flashback of the enchantress, casting her spell on the castle. Along with new characters, such as: Forte, Angelique, and Fife. "Beauty and the Beast: The Enchanted Christmas" truly shows us the meaning of the season, and is always such a joy to watch!
kstanley3804 This is a very cute movie. It is about a Christmas while Belle is at the castle with the Beast. She tries to bring Christmas to the castle, but he won't allow it.This movie is made to have taken place while Belle was still the Beast's prisoner, before they all turned human again and the Beast and Belle fell in love, just as all other Beauty and the Beast productions are. This is just how they did the Little Mermaid TV series, too, because they both involve magical transformations. Just as Ariel wouldn't be "the little mermaid" in a series of that title if she were human, it wouldn't be Beauty and "the Beast's" Enchanted Christmas if the Beast were human! :) I hope this helps and answers any questions!
jw24 Based on reviews of fans, I had some anticipation that this film would be one of the better Disney sequels. But, I was very disappointed with this sequel. I must admit that this direct to video sequel had its good points. I really enjoyed the song, "Stories." First of all, it was nice for Belle to have a solo considering that many Disney heroines have solo songs in their movies. One can argue that the "Belle: Reprise" is a solo for Belle. But a reprise, technically, isn't an actual song. I did think "Stories" was the key highlight in this film. Not only that, bringing the back the original cast was a smart idea, considering that most Disney sequels don't have at least one key actor/actress from the original.However, the movie did have several bad points. I was disappointed about the storyline. People complained about the story being "too dark for Christmas." I must agree with that consensus. I don't think they portrayed the "true meaning of Christmas." I honestly thought they spent too much time on Forte. I have no doubts about that. The songs were okay but not good as the original. I must give an exception for Stories. That was the only song that stood out for me. The animation was obviously "sequel-ish quality". Aside from that, I was stunned with the scene of peril towards the end. The castle nearing collapsing? I thought Disney went too far! No need for an action/adventure twist to this sequel about Christmas.The bottom line: A 4 out 10 for this disappointing sequel.A word to the parents: If you plan to buy this for a young child, be cautious and watch the film with them. There are scenes of peril and several dark scenes featuring the malevolent pipe organ. If they get too scared, at least you'll be around to console them. There is some brief language in one of the songs. So, if you're concerned about children hearing bad language, handle the situation with good and reasonable thinking.
