Novel & Cerita Watch Beauty And The Beast An Enchanted Christmas

Man, tracking down 'Beauty and the Beast: The Enchanted Christmas' feels like hunting for buried treasure sometimes! The 1997 sequel isn't as widely available as the original, but I've had luck finding it on Disney+ in some regions—it pops up there occasionally between their rotating catalog. Physical copies are floating around on eBay and secondhand stores too; I snagged my DVD from a local flea market last year.

For digital rentals, Amazon Prime Video and Apple TV often have it, though availability changes monthly. What's wild is how this midquel splits fans—some love the holiday vibes and Tim Curry's villainous performance, while others think it messes with the original's timeline. Either way, the Angela Lansbury musical numbers make it worth the search!

Oh, 'Beauty and the Beast: The Enchanted Christmas' is such a cozy midquel! It slots right into the original film's timeline, set during Belle's first Christmas at the castle. The story kicks off when Forte—this sinister pipe organ voiced by Tim Curry—tries to sabotage the holiday by convincing Beast that Christmas is dangerous. Forte's got this whole villainous backstory about fearing obsolescence if Beast reforms. Meanwhile, Belle's determined to revive the castle's holiday spirit, decorating with help from the enchanted objects. There's this adorable new character, Angelique the angel ornament, who becomes pivotal. The climax involves Belle almost getting crushed by a giant organ pipe (very dramatic) before Beast saves her and they all celebrate with a magical snowfall indoors. What I love is how it expands the original's themes—Beast's temper flares again, but Belle's patience shines brighter than ever. The animation holds up surprisingly well for a direct-to-video sequel, especially the glittering ice sequences.

Forte's musical number 'Don't Fall in Love' is low-key one of Disney's best villain songs—it's got this haunting harpsichord vibe. The film does that classic Disney thing where household objects steal the show; the choir of utensils singing 'As Long As There's Christmas' still gets me emotional. It's not as deep as the original, but for holiday viewing? Pure nostalgia fuel with just enough stakes to feel meaningful.

The ending of 'Beauty and the Beast: The Enchanted Christmas' is such a heartwarming wrap-up to the midquel's story! After Belle helps the Beast confront his past trauma and rediscover the joy of Christmas, the castle's curse begins to lift further. The real standout moment is when Forte, the villainous pipe organ, meets his dramatic demise—literally crashing down in a crescendo of shattered pipes. Belle's unwavering kindness melts the Beast's wintery anger, and they share a tender dance by the fireplace. The film ends with the entire castle celebrating, hinting at the eventual full breaking of the curse we know happens in the original film. What I love is how it deepens their bond—it's not just about romance, but healing together.

Also, that final shot of the snow globe? Pure magic. It subtly ties back to the beginning while leaving you with that cozy holiday feeling. The animation team went all out with the glittering snow effects too—it makes me want to rewatch it every December!
