VHS : Disney's Beauty and the Beast - The Enchanted ChristmasIn association with Amazon.comRating:  - never receivedI have yet to receive the "Beauty and the Beast-The Enchanted Christmas. I have emailed the seller and have not heard back. I am angry and disappointed. Rating:  - I Can't Begin to Recommend This Movie Enough!Two words: absolutely enchanting. I was looking through customer reviews for my old favorite Disney films, and I saw all of the unfavorable reviews for this title. This follow-up to the classic Disney film is just as fun and magical as the original. Enchanting songs and the same characters, plus a few new ones, make this a classic for kids and adults alike. Wonderful. Rating:  - Disappointing...My 2 year old LOVES Beauty and the Beast, so I thought this would be a great movie for her. I was very disappointed with this movie. The beginning half is fairly cute, but Belle does a horrible job at singing the songs. The second half of the movie is very dark and the organ character is too much. The "Don't Fall in Love" song by the organ is absolutely horrible and dumb. I don't think the movie stayed true to the beast's character either. They made him a little too angry this time. He throws Belle in the dungeon and tells her that she will rot there forever. I still gave this three stars because my daughter was entertained, but I don't really like her watching it. I don't recommend buying this movie. Rating:  - Far too scary for a Christmas movie. My kid loved it. I hated it. We rented this film because my daughter is obsessed with "Beauty and the Beast." Her favorite character is Chip, and he features huge in this sequel, so she was interested throughout the entire movie and wanted to watch it over and over. I played Scrooge, however, and returned the copy immediately without a second viewing. In my opinion, this video is far too scary for little kids and too dark for a Christmas movie. The songs are forgettable, and the themes are way too mature for the younger set. Rating: - Not-so-EnchantedDoing a "prequel" to the Disney classic was a hard act to follow, and it shows. The animation here is competent but fails to dazzle like the original, the villain is too droll, and there are no memorable songs. Since computer-animated fare have taken over the theatre staples, Disney has turned toward the direct-to-video market, and unfortunately, knocked off some rather lame sequels to their classic animated films. If you want a great film, then stick to the original "Beauty and the Beast". Better luck next time, guys! |
