Kattiera Nana I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Dotsthavesp I wanted to but couldn't!

Tobias Burrows It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

Logan By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

mcalester66 This is a good example of Disney's love of "milking" their products. The story is set back when Belle was held captive at the castle, and recounts what happened that Christmas. The Beast models after Scrooge, and hates Christmas, because it was on Christmas Eve that the spell was placed on him. Tim Curry plays an outstanding villain (as usual). A frightening CGI Pipe Organ, once hated by the Beast, now his only friend. Curry's motive: to keep Belle from loving the Beast so he can have him to himself and play his music for him forever. I recently watched this after quite a few years of not seeing it and was enchanted as the title says. It's worth seeing for it's beautiful score, unfortunately not by Alan Menken, with songs like "As Long as There's Christmas" at one point sung by miss Bernadette Peters, and "Don't Fall In Love" sung by Tim Curry. Not Disney's best, but worth buying. I promise that you'll enjoy it.

blueeyedactress As a child growing up I definitely enjoyed watching this movie because I couldn't tell the difference between the characters. However, now I am a theatre major and I have been trained to tell the differences between voices. I love looking up trivia for movies, and I was utterly shocked to realize that Paige O'Hara was still the voice of Belle! I could easily tell that the majority of others were the original actors, but I simply could not tell about Paige! And one other thing. Forte was super epically creepy! Well done, Disney on that front! :DI love Disney, I do, despite the whole stigma of Disney being for little kids, and I love their films. One other thing that makes me sad for this film, was the odd animations. Especially for motion. One moment that stuck out to me was when Beast was thinking about what to get Belle for Christmas, his grasping of his face and pondering. It seemed too simple and not well thought out. Otherwise, good! :D

TheLittleSongbird I watch this every year at Christmas, and I never grow tired of it. It is not as good as the wonderful original, but is actually one of the better DTV efforts, along with The King of Thieves. It is nowhere near as bad as some people have said, and one commentator gave it a low score solely on its continuity errors. Of course it has some, then again, so does every single movie in existence, even the original Beauty and the Beast. It is true that some of the animation falls a little flat,(most of it though is crisp, clean and smooth) especially with the dark backgrounds, but I liked the fact that it is darker than the original, and not at all mean spirited. Mostly the animation isn't bad at all, but I do think the computer animation stuck out like a sore thumb. The songs are well above average, and the score by Rachel Portman is beautiful. My favourite song is As long As There's Christmas, and Stories is charming. The other songs aren't as memorable, but bring a great character to the original storyline, about Belle (who was slightly changed) trying to bring Christmas to the Beast, and overcoming the many obstacles including the pipe organ Forte. The voice overs were generally very good indeed. Fife is a tad annoying, but totally bearable. Lumiere and Cogsworth are funny here, and I really admire the late Jerry Orbach. Haley Joel Osment was cute as Chip, and Angela Lansbury makes a welcome return as Mrs Potts, as well as Belle and the Beast. The real treat is in the newcomers though. Bernadette Peters is wonderful as the reluctant Angelique, and Tim Curry does an exceptional Annie-nominated voice over as Forte, song included. A perfect Christmas treat for Disney fans. 7/10 Bethany Cox

jw24 Based on reviews of fans, I had some anticipation that this film would be one of the better Disney sequels. But, I was very disappointed with this sequel. I must admit that this direct to video sequel had its good points. I really enjoyed the song, "Stories." First of all, it was nice for Belle to have a solo considering that many Disney heroines have solo songs in their movies. One can argue that the "Belle: Reprise" is a solo for Belle. But a reprise, technically, isn't an actual song. I did think "Stories" was the key highlight in this film. Not only that, bringing the back the original cast was a smart idea, considering that most Disney sequels don't have at least one key actor/actress from the original.However, the movie did have several bad points. I was disappointed about the storyline. People complained about the story being "too dark for Christmas." I must agree with that consensus. I don't think they portrayed the "true meaning of Christmas." I honestly thought they spent too much time on Forte. I have no doubts about that. The songs were okay but not good as the original. I must give an exception for Stories. That was the only song that stood out for me. The animation was obviously "sequel-ish quality". Aside from that, I was stunned with the scene of peril towards the end. The castle nearing collapsing? I thought Disney went too far! No need for an action/adventure twist to this sequel about Christmas.The bottom line: A 4 out 10 for this disappointing sequel.A word to the parents: If you plan to buy this for a young child, be cautious and watch the film with them. There are scenes of peril and several dark scenes featuring the malevolent pipe organ. If they get too scared, at least you'll be around to console them. There is some brief language in one of the songs. So, if you're concerned about children hearing bad language, handle the situation with good and reasonable thinking.
