Summary: A correction
Review: One of the reviewers said that Forte was jealous of Belle because
Beast looked to him for comfort. That's incorrect. Forte was gay.
He labored under an unrequited attraction to the Prince.Did you really think he chose Fife as an accomplice because Fife was the best one for the job? Fife was an idiot. He chose Fife because Fife,a very phallic object,was a reminder of Forte's lost
genitalia.

Summary: Just as good as the original!
Review: Beauty & the Beast: The Enchanted Christmas is a great movie that is really underestimated (like most sequels). Forte is a unique villian. The animation is almost as good as the original & it has great songs (like "As long as there's Christmas"). Ignore all those anti-sequels people & buy this masterpiece.

Summary: Kids will enjoy, but adults should avoid
Review: Though not as charming as the original this is a fine movie for kids 12 and under. Unlike the original which appealed to both kids and adults, this christmas version will appeal more for kids. I bought this movie as a teen which was a mistake so I didn't like it very much. Buy it for the kids, but if you're a teen or an adult watch something else, because this movie is awful compared to its original version. I'm sorry to say it but it does not hold up well and I'd rather watch the original. I stress again that only kids should watch it since it'll appeal more for them, while adults will think of it as a horrid sequel.

Summary: An answer
Review: No,I will NOT ease up! The only way I will EVER recognize that
pack of uncanonical lies is if I'm lighting the match to burn
every last copy to ASHES! It DESERVES to be hated and
ridiculed and reviled because it's WRONG,it DESPISES its own
audience,not to mention its soulless joylessness. Those aren't the characters from BEAUTY AND THE BEAST,those are corporately sponsored fan fiction POD PEOPLE! BEAUTY AND THE BEAST is a transcendent film that celebrates art and beauty and the human soul. Why does this thing exist? Can you tell me? What does it celebrate? If it exists,
it exists in a different universe than BEAUTY AND THE BEAST. *There are no events in "The Enchanted Xmas" that don't agree with the original.* Uh,YES there ARE. You obviously haven't seen
my ENCHANTED CHRISTMAS Error List. I will not shut up until this
movie is banished from the face of the planet.

Summary: How can anyone defend this? Uhh, like this...
Review: This is a surprisingly good Disney sequel and a really good Christmas movie. A little dark, a little scary (OK, very scary)...but the music is great and the story is fairly original. It is not at all an insult to the original Beauty and the Beast. I like Forte but he's VERY VERY scary, especially when I was younger. I like Angelique, if only because Bernadette Peters is her voice. Oh, and Ed: Ease up, will you? This movie is not half as bad as all that. Burning copies of it and hating it so strongly are entirely ridiculous. There are no events in "The Enchanted Xmas" that don't agree with the original. That doesn't make any sense. And not recognizing bad sequels doesn't change the fact that they exist and they're what happened after the original...even if you'll only watch the first one and won't think about the events after its end. In conclusion, this movie is worth seeing.

Summary: a beautiful sequel to the classic Disney epic
Review: THE ENCHANTED CHRISTMAS is a wonderful continuation of Disney's acclaimed Oscar-winning BEAUTY AND THE BEAST, which tells the untold chapter of the fateful Christmas where Belle stole the heart of the gruff Beast. The best thing is the presence of the entire original voice cast; Paige O'Hara as Belle, Robby Benson as The Beast, Jerry Orbach as Lumiere, David Odgen Stiers as Cogsworth and Angela Lansbury as Mrs Potts. Joining them as brand-new characters are Bernadette Peters as Angelique, Paul Reubens as Fife and Tim Curry as the evil Forte. There is also Haley Joel Osment in the role of tiny Chip. The story is heart-warming, and as someone who has grown up with the original movie (and it has to be my favorite Disney film), it was like seeing dear old friends again. Do not miss it! The DVD transfer is gorgeous.

Summary: An untold chapter from the original
Review: This title is an excellent sequel to the original Beauty and the Beast. It tells about an untold chapter after the time when Belle was rescued from a pack of wolves by the Beast, but before the Library scene. The Beast is still cold-hearted and ill-tempered, but Belle is attempting to get him out of this unacceptable form of behavior. She decides to bring Christmas to the castle (despite the fact the Beast hates the holiday; Christmas was the time when the fairy transformed the then Prince into a Beast), and establishes a plan using all of the Enchanted Objects to celebrate Christmas. There is a villan in the story: A notrocious pipe organ named Forte. As is shown in the movie, Forte was the court composer. The whole Beauty and the Beast trilogy takes place during the early Industrial Revolution (c. 1780) and the scene of the Prince just before his transforation into the Beast reveals Forte dressed in Baroque period clothing. The pipe organ was an extremely popular instrument in the Baroque era, and this clearly shows one the approximate time period in history. With the help of Fife, a young piccolo, Forte plans to rid Belle's plan by coaxing her into the Black Forest in an effort to possess a Christmas Tree for the castle. She nearly dies in the process, but the Beast rescues her again. This time, he is furious at Belle leaving the castle grounds, and throws her in the dungeon. After opening the present Belle gave to him, the Beast finally looks at Christmas in terms of it's true meaning, and releases Belle. We ultimately see Forte's demise as he attempts to demolish the castle using excessive sound levels. He commits suicide after the Beast removes his keyboard. Forte was extremely jealous at Belle because the Beast looked to him for comfort after the spell was cast. The ending is very nice, and sets the stage for the ballroom dance seen in the first movie.
With very good animation, as well as comical script, this movie is a must have for all familes during the holiday season. Although not as good as the original, it still has many of the characteristics we all cherish.

Summary: TOO Dark and scary for Xmas and little kids
Review: I am really surprised to see all the good reviews. This video is really very dark and scary for little kids. It has one really lovely song that I would like to learn but this is NOT a good Disney video for children. It even feels as if you've been shorted as it ends. I do not recommend it.

Summary: Surprisingly Good Straight-to-Video
Review: All right, it's Christmas so I'll get my "Bah, Humbug" stuff out of the way first. This was produced by Disney Television animation, so visually it's not as rich as the original. The characters seem a little flatter, the backgrounds not as detailed. That said, however, the computer animation used to bring Forte, the court musician turned pipe organ, is magnificent! Unlike the rest of the castle staff, Forte is quite pleased with the curse of the Enchantress, as it gives him purpose: consoling the Beast's desolation. By animating him in a different style from the rest of the film, he becomes even more removed from the other characters, more otherworldly. If it seems lacking in the visual department, we couldn't ask for more in sound. The original cast has been brought together with new characters voiced by Paul Reubens (better known as Pee-Wee Herman, though his Fife sounds worlds apart), Tim Curry (as the aforementioned Forte), and the angelic Bernadette Peters. The story is a simple story of hope. The bulk of the movie is a flashback between Belle's rescue from the wolves and the Beast's gift of the library in the original movie. It's December 24 and Belle believes that bringing Christmas back to the castle will help cheer up the Beast. Unfortunately, it turns out that it was a Christmas ten years ago when the curse was laid upon the castle and is now forbidden. Not only does she have to overcome the Beast's sadness, but also Forte's scheming to prevent her from breaking the spell. Overall, the songs and story bolster up the animation to make a worthwhile addition to a holiday movie library.
