Beauty and the Beast - The Enchanted Christmas (Special Edition)

Rating:
Summary: Mediocre Chip Off The Old Block
Review: Why Disney feels the need to produce sequels to every one of their hit animated features is beyond me. In this department the House of Mouse too often goes for quantity over quality. It's unfortunate to mar a classic with theses watered down re-visits. The animation in this one would qualify as above average Saturday morning fare. It could have been much worse. The concept is somewhat interesting, returning the viewer to a supposed Christmas incident that took place whille Belle was held captive by the Beast in the original film. However good the concept, the actual story is a bit weak and drags out the standard "true meaning of Christmas" theme without much new to say. All the original voices are back, which is nice. However the heart and soul of the original is missing. The songs are afterthoughts and forgettable. This might keep the young ones who are fans of "Beauty and the Beast" entertained but, unlike it's predecessor, "The Enchanted Christmas" doesn't stand up to repeat viewings. Most people will purchase this to ad to their clam-shell collections of self declared Disney classics and that's exactly what Disney was banking on for this ho hum installment. The follow-up to this one is even worse.

Summary: A Masterpiece
Review: I am a HUGE fan of Beauty and the Beast, the original. I absolutely love this movie. One of the best. The characters are great. I love Angelique especially. This movie is one to own.

Summary: It's not as bad as people say!
Review: True, it's not as grand as what we saw in the first Beauty and the Beast, but the fantastic fact that all actors came back to do the sequel (if you can call it that) is great. The animation is NOT poor and is actually very pretty. The story is strong and it is a fitting and warm yuletitde DVD title. It has some great songs which people will love and they are sung by O'Hara as in the original. What most people forget is that this title doesn't have to conform to the tight, well known, fable that the original had to. The flexible narrative suits the subject - which is love, freindship, and seasonal spirit. I would defend this title and say it is great for all. I'm 21 and found it most pleasing. P.S: Don't you think the titles sound like Savana the soap opera show? Hmmm....

Summary: How can anyone defend this?
Review: I strongly advise everyone who reads this to burn all the copies of THE ENCHANTED CHRISTMAS that you possibly can. As a lover of BEAUTY AND THE BEAST,I do not recognize THE ENCHANTED CHRISTMAS and never will. I hate this movie with all my heart. Please contact me if you'd like a detailed list of the errors that negate the possibility of the events in this film. I will not rest until the world knows.

Summary: It was just wonderful!
Review: This movie is an absolutely perfect movie that teaches a lot of morals and has a lot of fun characters in there as well. All of them were wonderful and the entire thing was magical. The songs were beautiful and meaningful. It was just simply magical.

Summary: It's a beauty!
Review: Like the other reviewer, I've seen this lovely little movie dozens of times, and never get tired of it. Angela Lansbury and Paige O'Hara are just as charming as in the original, and Bernadette Peters' Angelique will melt your heart. Her song, "As Long As There's Christmas," just might put a catch in your throat. The animation - especially the evil Forte - is eye-popping, just as you would expect from Disney. I would recommend this movie for all Disney-cartoon fans, as well as those who want a collection of cheery, heart-warming Christmas videos/DVDs. Get it ... You won't be disappointed. (FYI: Disney released a CD soundtrack that is just as much fun as the movie!)

Rating:
Summary: The cast was fantastic
Review: Angela Lansbury was excellent as always. Tim Curry, who always makes a great villain, strikes again. While Paul Reubens and the rest of the supporting cast provide great comic relief.

Rating:
Summary: It is great for everyone!
Review: If you like Beauty and the Beast, you'll like this too. Everyone has the same voices except Chip and it's a holiday classic. I have it and I love it!

Rating:
Summary: VERY ENTERTAINING!!!!!!
Review: This movie in my opinion was da bomb! I got this movie last Christmas and have probably watched it 40 times and I NEVER get tired of it. I especially liked evil Forte. This movie definitely has humor also. I even liked it better than the original Beauty and the Beast!
