Editorial Reviews: The enchantment of Disney's Academy Award(R)-winning film BEAUTY AND THE BEAST continues as BEAUTY AND THE BEAST: THE ENCHANTED CHRISTMAS SPECIAL EDITION happily casts its song-filled spell. This irresistible tale that "recaptures the magic and charm of the original" (Neil Rosen, New York 1) reveals a Christmas past when Belle does her best to warm the Beast's castle with the spirit and hope of the season -- despite the Beast's disdain of the holidays. Belle asks the castle's Enchanted Objects to join the celebration, including stubborn Angelique -- a delicate tree ornament who was once the castle decorator. But can Belle, Cogsworth, Lumiere, and their friends undo the plans of Forte, the pompous pipe organ who hates happy celebrations and tries to keep the Beast apart from Belle's special holiday gift? Newly remastered for sparkling sights and sound, and reuniting everybody's favorite voice cast from the original feature, BEAUTY AND THE BEAST: THE ENCHANTED CHRISTMAS SPECIAL EDITION overflows with five spectacular songs, spellbinding visuals, and the same delightful charms that brought Disney's original masterpiece to the screen. It's a holiday treat you'll find your entire family watching over and over again -- not just for Christmas, but any time of year!
Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: never received Comment: I have yet to receive the "Beauty and the Beast-The Enchanted Christmas. I have emailed the seller and have not heard back. I am angry and disappointed. Customer Rating: Summary: I Can't Begin to Recommend This Movie Enough! Comment: Two words: absolutely enchanting. I was looking through customer reviews for my old favorite Disney films, and I saw all of the unfavorable reviews for this title. This follow-up to the classic Disney film is just as fun and magical as the original. Enchanting songs and the same characters, plus a few new ones, make this a classic for kids and adults alike. Wonderful. Customer Rating: Summary: Disappointing... Comment: My 2 year old LOVES Beauty and the Beast, so I thought this would be a great movie for her. I was very disappointed with this movie. The beginning half is fairly cute, but Belle does a horrible job at singing the songs. The second half of the movie is very dark and the organ character is too much. The "Don't Fall in Love" song by the organ is absolutely horrible and dumb. I don't think the movie stayed true to the beast's character either. They made him a little too angry this time. He throws Belle in the dungeon and tells her that she will rot there forever. I still gave this three stars because my daughter was entertained, but I don't really like her watching it. I don't recommend buying this movie. Customer Rating: Summary: Far too scary for a Christmas movie. My kid loved it. I hated it. Comment: We rented this film because my daughter is obsessed with "Beauty and the Beast." Her favorite character is Chip, and he features huge in this sequel, so she was interested throughout the entire movie and wanted to watch it over and over. I played Scrooge, however, and returned the copy immediately without a second viewing. In my opinion, this video is far too scary for little kids and too dark for a Christmas movie. The songs are forgettable, and the themes are way too mature for the younger set. Customer Rating: Summary: Not-so-Enchanted Comment: Doing a "prequel" to the Disney classic was a hard act to follow, and it shows. The animation here is competent but fails to dazzle like the original, the villain is too droll, and there are no memorable songs. Since computer-animated fare have taken over the theatre staples, Disney has turned toward the direct-to-video market, and unfortunately, knocked off some rather lame sequels to their classic animated films. If you want a great film, then stick to the original "Beauty and the Beast". Better luck next time, guys! More Reviews
