The greatest movie ever made..!

Better Late Then Never

The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

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.

This is a good example of Disney's love of "milking" their products. The story is set back when Belle was held captive at the castle, and recounts what happened that Christmas. The Beast models after Scrooge, and hates Christmas, because it was on Christmas Eve that the spell was placed on him. Tim Curry plays an outstanding villain (as usual). A frightening CGI Pipe Organ, once hated by the Beast, now his only friend. Curry's motive: to keep Belle from loving the Beast so he can have him to himself and play his music for him forever. I recently watched this after quite a few years of not seeing it and was enchanted as the title says. It's worth seeing for it's beautiful score, unfortunately not by Alan Menken, with songs like "As Long as There's Christmas" at one point sung by miss Bernadette Peters, and "Don't Fall In Love" sung by Tim Curry. Not Disney's best, but worth buying. I promise that you'll enjoy it.

BEAUTY AND THE BEAST: THE ENCHANTED Christmas, in my opinion, is an enchanting Disney Christmas flick. If you ask me, the Beast (voice of Robby Benson) was truly a grouch about Christmas. You'll have to see the movie if you want to know why. On the other hand, the songs were truly outstanding. Well, despite the fact that every song in this film was good, I would have to say that "As Long As There's Christmas" was the best. Before I wrap this up, I'd like to say everyone involved in enchanting Disney Christmas flick to all of you who haven't seen it. You're in for a good time, so go to the video store, rent it or buy it, kick back with a friend, and watch it.

Comparing this to the theatrical original, I have to say I am pleasantly satisfied. Enchanted Christmas builds itself as a strong point in the story, emphasizing a time during the passage of the first film where the household tried to rekindle the Christmas spirit that was so long lost.Pretty much all of the original voice cast is back, which is a nice thing for a Disney movie. The artwork is neat and colorful. The writers did a good job inserting this keystone into the continuity of the first. Personally, my favorite element was Forte, the organ. The computer animation blended in nicely with the darker environment established whenever the scene included him. If it had been a bright, colorful scene, he may have looked somewhat bulky against the traditional cell animation. Also, I admire Tim Curry, the voice actor of Forte. He's a cool guy, prone to playing villains or someone otherwise so inclined to be a bit creepy. But that's his strength, and he does well with it.Overall, I liked it. It's a good movie for the kids, and a good movie for the Christmas spirit.
