Beauty and the Beast: The Enchanted Christmas Special Edition Blu-Ray/DVD Review



Synopsis: Celebrate the most magical time of the year with this Special Edition of the irresistible holiday classic inspired by Disney's Academy Award(R)-winnng masterpiece, Beauty And The Beast (1991: Winner -- Best Song, Best Original Score; nominated for Best Picture). Share the wonder as Mrs. Potts (Angela Lansbury) recounts another "tale as old as time" about a Christmas past that almost wasn't -- thanks to the scheming of former court composer Forte (Tim Curry), now a gloomy, holiday-hating pipe organ, determined to keep Belle and Beast apart forever. Only a true Christmas musical could possibly thwart his dastardly plans. Reuniting the original voice cast, this spectacular gem sparkles with exciting bonus features, delightful songs, spellbinding visuals, and enduring themes of hope, friendship and love. Your family will experience the spirit of the season all year long with the timeless magic of Beauty and the Beast: The Enchanted Christmas.

Review: We LOVE Disney here at the Legion and the Beauty and the Beast film was amongst their finest work.   The tradition of animated sequels and follow-ups is that they are usually terrible, especially if they go straight to home video.  This feature, The Enchanted Christmas, was no such sequel.  This film was fantastic!  They spent the time and money to put quality production, story and casting into this holiday themed follow-up.  I truly felt it should've been released for theaters.  This is the first time that this one is on blu-ray and it looks absolutely sharp and vibrant.  This set includes the original DVD too, so this is a great way to commemorate this film for your kids and the family.

The special features include: Blu-ray(TM)Feature Film + Bonus, DVD Feature Film + Bonus, Disney's Sing Me A Story With Belle: "Stick To It (Don't Give Up)" -- Belle Inspires Children To Keep Trying And Never Give Up, Disney Sing Along Mode, Disney's Song Selection -- Select Your Favorite Songs And Sing Along, Behind-The-Scenes Featurettes, Music Video: "As Long As There's Christmas" and Enchanted Environment -- Bring The Castle's Crackling Fireplace Into Your Home.

Interest Range: Animation
