Beauty and the Beast: The Enchanted Christmas - Disneycember 2015 

At least its pretty cool to see flashbacks of when the beast was still human.

The only quote I remember from this movie was the organ going: "Oh I'll just pick myself up and oh wait." *loud thunking noise as he tries to move* "I'M BOLTED TO THE WALL!" And that was the only thing I remember.

I always loved it when Tim Curry said 'I'm bolted to the wall' it cracked me up as a kid and still cracks me up now.

"This Year, i want to review crap." - Doug Walker, 2015.

The organ was my favorite villain growing up. Used to watch this nonstop!

But does anyone, _anyone_ celebrate Christmas like Gaston?

Oh..oh my God..... He....he might actually do Disney Sequels right now......

I know some people hate it, but I actually grew up watching this. I see problems, but it'll always be a guilty pleasure for me. I mean, it could've been Belle's Magical World.

I actually saw this movie before the original, and I enjoyed it as a kid. So now it's one of those Christmas movies I'm old enough to know now that it isn't a good film but watch it to get into the spirit

I loved this movie as a kid and the organ was the first villain in... well, ANYTHING to legitimately scare me. AND I LOVED EVERY SECOND OF IT.

Trust Me, even if you don't like this movie, you can admit, it's not as atorotious as Belle's Magical World.

What a fucking coincidence. I was trying to find HBO on my mom's TV when I visited today and saw this. I forgot what I was doing and ended up watching a few minutes of this stinker out of curiosity, and literally seconds after I thought: 'well, screw this shit, Ima check YT on my phone'. What's the first video in my subs? This. I literally can't believe that happened

Tim Curry, the scariest CGI organ villain you'll ever see!

"I wasn't horrified"-DW\NC best recommendation ever.

I own this movie on VHS and the organ guy used to give me nightmares

tim curry in this scared me as a kid

I love the Organ oh my god. He's spooky and I loved how they showed him

I remember this movie more than the original. The organ terrified me and I loved the Christmas ornaments accent.

I...actually liked this movie growing up.

I'M BOLTED TO THE WALL!

At least it is not as bad as Belles magical world

Hmm Tim Curry + Pipe Organ = Villian with different motives than Disney ones? I'm in!

God Dammit, after this Turtles Christmas Special I always thinking of Splinter singing "And a Pizza with Pepperoni" when the 12 Days of Christmas is played anywhere...

That damned organ gave me nightmares as a child... Terrible movie, but Tim Curry and the CG animation blended together to make a really creepy villain.

Every time I watch any version of Beauty and the Beast I always have one question. And it really comes up even more in this film since we see him before he was transformed... Dude.... WHERE ARE YOUR PARENT'S?!?!?

The organ is the only good part of this movie.

My cat pissed on my VHS copy. Lol

As cheesy as this midquel is, I'd definitely take it over Belle's Magical World any day simply because of the villain being voiced by Tim Curry and the fact that it's by FAR the least awful of the direct-to-video movies. A well balanced review.

The organ scared the shit out of me

Yeah I didn't mind this and I liked Tim Curry as the Organ. Nothing great but not bad either

Can you review Mars Needs Moms?

I don't think I'd necessarily call this film "harmless," Doug. Especially with that gut-churning scene with Belle in the dungeon... In recent years, because the Internet is overly critical of everything, some of us Beauty & the Beast fans have had to defend the original against accusations that Belle has Stockholm Syndrome and Beast is an abusive boyfriend. Which isn't quite true. When Beast throws a tantrum, Belle LEAVES. But then she gets attacked by wolves and rescued by Beast and since it would've been a cold move on her part to leave him to die in the snow, she does take him back to the castle to fix him up. He does try pinning the blame on her... and she REFUSES to take that shit, calling him on his bullshit while also thanking him for saving her life. It's the beginning of Beast's long path to redemption, realizing that he can't just be a bully to his servants or others to cope with his crappy circumstances. However... with The Enchanted Christmas, all we ever see is Beast throwing tantrum after tantrum... and Belle doing practically EVERY Mary Sue thing in the book to make him happy. The flanderization of their characters is a huge flaw in this movie. You know how there's that generic impression of what Disney princesses and princes are like? It's funny how Beauty & the Beast subverted many of those, while the sequel The Enchanted Christmas embraced many of them. Belle in The Enchanted Christmas is DEFINITELY Stockholm Syndrome incarnate, and the special failed to give Beast a number of redeeming qualities. For fuck's sake, just for trying to chop down a Christmas tree, almost drowning, and disobeying his orders to not leave the castle (even to do something to please him), he throws her in the fucking dungeon. Yeah... I'm sure that's gonna help her hypothermia, Beast. Beast: "You said you'd never leave." Belle: "I wasn't trying to leave. I was trying to make you happy." WHAT. THE. FUCK. DISNEY?

Again. TIM CURRY! We need a Tim Curry month

I actually played this movie every Christmas as a kid. I loved this movie and I thought Forte was AWESOME. XDD

I watched this movie religiously as a young child. Forte, (The organ,) was definitely the best part of the movie.

I've never seen Beauty and the beast, nor did I really remember the Christmas special, but for some reason I remember the CG organ whenever I think of Beauty and the Beast.

That cgi organ is fucking scary.

"Not as good looking as Mulan 2" Sure you don't wanna take that back, Doug?

its the end of 2021 and he finally did a nostalgia critic review of it!

Hear me out: one thing this film did better than the original is that we're shown the prince and the staff ect transforming instead of it being told to us. It's a lot more effective (although I agree it's a remarkable coincidence it was the same day as Christmas). A case of 'show, don't tell'

"Don't you see, Fife? They can't fall in love IF THEY'RE DEAD!"

That organ gave me terrors for years, fun fact. It's the extreme close ups on his dead eyes and creepy CG and...UGH, I'm getting the chills again :(

As someone who had this on VHS and not the original, this was my only experience with Beauty and the Beast as a kid. I had completely forgotten about Tim Curry's organ character, but now I remember how much he freaked me out back then.

they hate Christmas because the curse happened in Christmas? god, it's Batman Fortunate Son levels of retcon. for those who don't know, apparently Batman hates rock 'n roll. why because he heard it when his parents died. it was revealed for a story where he tried to stop a rocker from a crime spree. BTW, why everyone is so different from there human form except that ornament? seriously, she looks like herself, but miniaturized, and made from china glass or something...

I think that ornament might be a Christmas tree topper. so there's a lot more about Christmas to be butthurt about than sadness if you know what I mean.

I've watched this twice this month already. Disneycember fever hits hard.

I love watching this every year at Christmas.

My sister (who is older than me) loved this when we were growing up. From what I remember of it, it's not that bad but it sure isn't a good sequel.

The character Maestro Forte is what got me into organ music as a middle schooler. Still love it to this day.

I couldn't get over how they introduced new characters in what was apparently the mid-point of the first movie.

I actually like the song"as long as there's christmas"from this movie a lot. If you really listen to the lyrics they are very sweet and get the message of what christmas is about from Belle's perspective.

What if the Beast was jewish and he is sad becuase nobody cares about Chunukkah?

I kinda wish nostalgia critic mentioned that song "stories" it's a really good song and touching moment when belle makes beast a book

So it was Christmas when Belle was staying at the castle. How long was she there for? How long did it take Gaston to put his plan into action when he thought of it not long after Maurice returned? How long was Lefou outside Belle's house? As far as I'm concerned I don't consider this film or Belle's Magical World canon. I mean what is canon, Beauty and the Beast was just one movie with no good follow ups.

Can't agree. I thought some of the songs were absolutely phenomenal. 'Stories' to this day randomly pops into my head, and I haven't even watched the film in years.

I still enjoy popping this in during the holidays and rewatching it all over again. It is somewhat forced? Yes. Do I still enjoy it? Yes.

I loved, (and I mean LOVED) this film when I was a little kid.

I like this review much better then Nostalgia Chick's review of the movie, IDK i think she's a bit to harsh with this movie, while Doug at least point's out both the good and the bad of this movie, and recognizes that they put some effort into it.

Not only is Beauty and the Beast my favourite Disney Movie, but it's one of my favourite Movies in general. After watching this movie, all I could say was, "How dare they try to cash in on such a timeless masterpiece." However, the one and only good thing in this movie is as Doug said, Tim Curry.

"Stories" is still my favorite animated Disney songs. I know that there are better and bigger songs but It just speaks to me more. Although I had yet to see the original at the time. But even after I saw it I still loved "Stories". ...still my favorite. ....You can't change it....nope. Favorite.

you should do the OTHER Goofy movie

Oh my god, I was rewatching beauty and the beast recently and waiting for this organ to show up. I thought maybe it was just some fever dream.

"Just enough budget to animate Tim Curry's lips!" -JelloApocalypse, 2017

As a kid, the organ absolutely terrified me and my siblings! Now as an adult, I find the character design more disturbing than scary. I haven't watched this movie in ages, but if I were to watch it again I'd probably agree with Doug here.

I remember when my teacher said that we were watching beauty and the beast and everybody was happy and she put this on and when we were watching the beginning we all were like THIS AIN’T BEAUTY AND THE BEAST and she said just watch it...

I think Tim Curry as Maestro literally was one of the few things that made em remember this from my childhood...that and how the character ends up getting beaten.

Does anybody else think that the organ was absolutely terrifying?

That Orgen is fucking creepy as hell. If I saw this film as a child, that thing would have given me nightmares.

I think my favourite thing about this movie when I was little were the dresses worn by Belle at the beginning and Bernadette's character's dress.

This was a good one one great song good orchestra good costume

The organ is literally the only thing I remembered in this movie...

I actualy don't find the music that "half-assed", when Belle sang "stories", I confess this song really pushes my buttons correctly, and Forte is one of my favourite villains because..heck, his design, his voice, his concept... For all the direct-to-dvd releases Disney made, this is my favourite.

I remember the organ saying “Hell” and I’m like, huh? In a Disney PRINCESS movie?

*logs into youtube* I can't wait to see what Doug did for Christmas toda- *sees Enchanted Christmas* BAIL! D:

Am I the only one who saw Disney sequels before seeing the originals as a kid? I feel sorry for those who had their parents show them the sequels before the original classics. This is a movie I was kinda embarrassed in seeing as a kid, but at least it's not as bad as many other sequels. Also I didn't know Tim Curry was the Organ! Merry Christmas guys!

Any Jelloappocalypse fans? "Just enough budget to animate TIM CURRY'S LIPS!"

who else thinks Tim curry organ should be a KH villain. think of it

I remember, being younger, being rather scared of the organ. He was huge, he was imposing, and he was loud. He just had this really powerful presence on screen. Even the only name they call him, "maestro," of course being the guy in charge of the orchestra, has an indication of his power. He was the master, even having sway over the actual master of the estate. Pretty neat villain.

That organ scared the hell outta me...

Yay! He is doing the Disney sequels! I am looking forward for more.

I personally love this movie and still do. Honestly I see the points given for its flaw on the other side of the aisle here but there's just something very touching about this film that is always a joy to watch every year. Even til this day I can't figure out 100% why. We like what we like I suppose :)

I watched this a long time ago. It was awesome.

Maestro Forte was the bane of my entire existence when I was a young kid ;__;

I remember absolutely nothing about this movie, but every so often I suddenly remember the Tim Curry Organ screaming "I'M BOLTED TO THE *WALL"* and I start laughing uncontrollably

I personally love this movie. I play this movie every Christmas.

One thing thats makes this better then most DVD Disney sequels is that it's a single story. So many of them were odd 3 part stories. Oddest was the tarzan and Jane since there was a Disney Tarzan series (a good watch by the way)

I think we can all agree that Mastero Forte was the best thing in the movie

i grew up with this movie and i hold it dear

Now Doug/Critic's reviewed all the bad Christmas movies shown in the beginning of this video. He reviewed "Mickey's Twice Upon a Christmas" during Disneycember 2016 and he reviewed "I'll Be Home for Christmas" and recently "The Search for Santa Paws" on "Nostalgia Critic".

I wonder what he thinks of Kronk's New Groove. Also, I watch Shrek the Halls every Christmas.

Holy god, I actually saw this as a kid, and Tim Curry actually scared the fuck out of me

I never thought Doug would review a direct-to-video film.

It’s honestly pretty good, yeah the storyline is a little wacky, but the songs are pretty good and the villain is really cool also the animation is pretty good for a Disney sequel, I like it.

One thing you gotta give credit, unlike the first movie, this one actually tries to show us what happened the day the castle and its inhabitants are cursed, which we are never shown in the first film, so its got that going for it at least. Also, Tim Curry. Because Tim Curry always is AWESOME when he plays a villain.

I had the special edition on DVD and watched it all the time. Did anyone else?

I watch this movie solely for Tim Curry pipe organ. When I was younger I was obsessed with that character inexplicably.

I love this movie.

I love the Stories song in this movie so much. ❤️

This was one of my favorite movies as a kid 💙

Eh. It was mediocre. At Least Tim Curry is in it and that's about it.
