Take my advice: Don’t fall in love with this movie, because I’m about to talk about one of Disney’s early direct-to-home media sequels, Beauty and the Beast: The Enchanted Christmas. In this review, I’ll be discussing why this fails as a follow-up to Disney’s Beauty and the Beast, and why it’s bad as a Christmas movie that can’t get us in the holiday spirit.

All I know from The Enchanted Christmas is “As Long As There’s Christmas” since I used to watch Disney’s Very Merry Christmas Songs on dvd a lot when I was young. Other than that, I have no opinion of the film since I never watched it aside from a few clips I saw. But I will say, I’m not sure if Howard Ashman would be proud that his original plan for the opening is revived for a Christmas movie. Anyways, I’m super excited for the next review, we’re gonna be swinging through the vines in the jungle as we’ll take a look at the final film of the Renaissance era!

Tarzan is next.

Well... it ain't Beauty and the Beast 3, and the Paige O'Hara Christmas album was nice. Thats about all I got for nice comments for this.

It's sad that he didn't like this movie, but let's hope he gets to review the original soon. And for my sake, let's hope it happens through the Animation Hat and not through a Patreon request. Also, Tarzan is next. I wonder if he will be talking about the songs separately, since that is not really a traditional musical, but the songs are a big part of why it's so beloved.

Hunter O'Laughlin

I’m sure he’ll still talk about the songs since they still drive the story, and still express the emotions of the characters even without them physically singing.

Thank you for requesting him to review Tarzan. Not only will it be interesting to see, but it brings AniMat closer to finishing the Disney Renaissance films with only, funny enough, the original Beauty and the Beast left.

Man, with Beauty and the Beast: Belle’s Magical World, the 2017 live-action remake and now Beauty and the Beast: The Enchanted Christmas, any other extension of the Beauty and the Beast franchise has not entertained AniMat outside of the original animated film. Maybe the Broadway musical might have a chance to be the only other piece of BATB media he’d enjoy? We’ll have to see if he gets a request to review the musical, but then again, he did get requested to do a review on the works of Belle’s voice actress Paige O’Hara, so the possibility of that review happening isn’t out of the question. Also, SWEET, DUDE! Going right from Beauty and the Beast: The Enchanted Christmas to Tarzan! Quite a transition, but a smooth one. Definitely am looking forward to your Classic Review of Tarzan as that’ll mean you’re almost done with the Disney Renaissance! 😁✊

It’s a shame you found fool’s gold in March with The Enchanted Christmas (not a big fan of that movie either). But in Easter, you’ll be getting a big chocolate egg with Tarzan!

Every time AniMat reviews a direct-to-dvd “sequel”, I’m reminded of why I personally don’t consider them to be canon to the original classics that they claim to be adding to. They’re just cheap imitations of the source material, with only a fraction of the budget, whose main purpose is profit. In fact, they feel more like fanfics than actual sequels. Also, I cant wait for the Tarzan review! I always hoped that one would get a Classic Review one day!

Joe DeSena

Hopefully he’ll review the original Beauty And The Beast one day

Who knows?Maybe someone will request it on patreon , or it will appear in the animation hat. Or you could join his patreon and request it yourself

What about The Lion King II: Simba’s Pride or The Lion King: 1/2, or even Bambi II (ironically, a midquel), or 101 Dalmatians II: Patch’s London Adventure, or Return to Neverland, or Cinderella 3: A Twist in Time? Those are one of the better direct-to-video sequels, and Return to Neverland even got a theatrical release.

Joe DeSena

I made a request that’s coming up later in the year. I won’t say what it is, but I have a few more in mind afterwards, and I feel like someone will have already requested BATB by that point.

Joe DeSena

I haven’t seen Bambi 2 or Cinderella 3, but I’ve heard good things about them. But yeah, the ones I’ve seen felt like hollow shells of the original classics. The Jungle Book 2 also got a theatrical release.

Haley Joel Osment appeared in a total of 3 of the direct to dvd Disney sequels Beauty and the Beast The Enchanted Christmas, Hunchback of Notre Dame 2 and Jungle Book 2. Personally I think Jungle Book 2 is highly underrated and is actually one of the better direct to dvd Disney sequels (although I do question whether or not it actually counts as a direct to dvd movie considering it was released in theaters along with Return to Neverland) but I actually think Haley and John Goodman along with Mae Whitman do a great job in that movie and Jungle Rhythm is an absolute banger. But aside from all that I absolutely cannot wait for Tarzan next month. Curious to see if he talks about the songs in that movie or if he’ll even classify it as a musical

Bryce Gundy

I know that The Enchanted Christmas is garbage, but the only reason I watched this movie is because of the villain Forte. In my opinion, Forte is one of my favorite Disney villains more because of how he’s written, the performance from Tim Curry, and the way he was designed.

Hunter O'Laughlin

I’m sure he’ll classify it as a musical because the Phil Collins songs still play the same role as most of Disney’s musicals in moving the story forward, well, except Trashing the Camp, and relaying the emotion of the characters even if they aren’t singing the songs themselves.
