VHS Disney’s Beauty and the Beast – The Enchanted Christmas 1997
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.. Color-72 mins– The case show one area cut and show wear-
