BEAUTY AND THE BEAST: THE ENCHANTED CHRISTMAS
(Home Video,
1997)
Reviews
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.
