* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Probably the best example in the Beast's history. He's squarely in the middle of his CharacterDevelopment, still angry, still depressed, and still struggling with his temper and beastly instincts, but undeniably good and kind deep down.

'''''Beauty and the Beast: The Enchanted Christmas''''' is a DirectToVideo {{midquel}} to the DisneyAnimatedCanon hit ''Disney/BeautyAndTheBeast''. This film takes place around the Christmas season in the middle of the events of the first film.

Here, a few new characters are introduced, such as the villain, Forte, who is an organ, and his music has been the only thing keeping the Beast happy, or at least not as sad, since the curse. Forte therefore actually wants to remain under the curse, as he didn't really have any significance in the castle before then.

* FunnyBackgroundEvent: There's one scene where Beast instructs Forte to "play Belle's song", in which he proceeds to play "Deck the Halls" with the least enthusiasm. After a few measures, Beast makes him sing, followed by an even more dismal rendition of the song. While Beast and Mrs. Potts converse, you can hear Forte starting to ham it up a bit ending with a low note just before Beast yells "ENOUGH!". Just found it pretty amusing watching it after so long.

* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: The real Christmas miracle in the movie is how they got away with an obviously gay organ in the movie.
** No, the miracle is that same organ telling the Beast, "If you're ''turned on'', then just turn off!" as part of his VillainSong.


Added DiffLines:

** The Beast goes rather quickly from angry sorrow at having to kill his best friend to "Let's give Belle the best Christmas ever!"
* MundaneMadeAwesome: Forte has the ability to compose as he plays, as we are treated to various closeups of blank sheet music being transcribed with green ink in real time. Unfortunately, it's very grating for the musically inclined; since we have the advantage to pause on the closeups to read the score, it shows nothing more than random notes, splattered across the pages.

'''''Beauty and the Beast: The Enchanted Christmas''''' is a DirectToVideo {{midquel}} to the DisneyAnimatedCanon hit ''Disney/BeautyAndTheBeast''. This film takes place around the Christmas season in the middle of the events of the first film.

Here, a few new characters are introduced, such as the villain, Forte, who is an organ, and his music has been the only thing keeping the Beast happy, or at least not as sad, since the curse. Forte therefore actually wants to remain under the curse, as he didn't really have any significance in the castle before then.

Belle arriving, naturally, is a threat to his plans, and he uses his lackey, Fife, to try to break Belle and the Beast apart. In the meantime, Belle wants to make plans for Christmas, even though the Beast is against it, since that is the day the enchantress cursed him and the castle.

* DefrostingIceQueen: Angelique
* DepravedHomosexual: Forte. See StalkerWithACrush.
* DetailHoggingCover: The reduced budget really shows against the pretty covers for the videos.
* EvilIsHammy: Forte. Due to being played by TimCurry, this trope comes with the territory.
* FamilyUnfriendlyDeath: Beast lifts up and smashes Forte's keyboard causing him to topple over and die.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: Forte's first line in the movie, in response to Fife's applauding his music:
-->'''Forte:''' Oh, it's just a little opera... ''(hits a few keys, the room shakes and dust falls from the ceiling)'' ...to bring the house down.
* {{Hammerspace}}: Well, how else would you describe the prince hiding two presents in his coat without them bulging visibly?
* HappilyMarried: At the end of the movie, we see that Belle and the Prince are.
* HappyHolidaysDress: Belle's dress at the ending scene, although it was given more prominence in the covers and promotional materials.
* {{Interquel}}
* IronicEcho: "You're not singing!"
* ManipulativeBastard: Forte
* MeaningfulName: Forte's name, basically, means "loud" in music terms. As a carryover from the first film, everyone has either this or a PunnyName.
* MoodWhiplash: Again "A Cut Above The Rest". The scene goes from sentimental to...um...
* MusicalAssassin: Forte is able to partially destroy the castle as well as send Beast flying with his magical music powers.
* OminousPipeOrgan: Guess who.
* PimpedOutDress: Belle's gold dress gets a reprise near the end (although chronologically, that would be the first time she wore it), and then her red holiday dress in the last scene.
* [[ThePowerOfLove The Power of Christmas]]
* PrecisionFStrike: During Forte's VillainSong: "It's HELL when someone's always there." In a ''Disney sequel'' no less; usually they can only get away with that in [[Disney/SleepingBeauty theatrical]] [[Disney/TheHunchbackOfNotreDame films!]]
* PrettyInMink: Belle's fur-trimmed skating jacket, and even wears a matching skirt when she goes deep in the woods.
* PunctuatedForEmphasis:
-->'''Forte:''' So, Beast gets girl and it's a happy ending for everyone. Enchantment lifted and Forte fades into the background, no longer important, no longer needed. '''...I! THINK! NOT!'''
* TheRenfield: Fife
* ShootTheDog: The Beast pretty much kills Forte when he goes completely, irreversibly nuts.
* SmugSnake: Forte. His human form even looks reptilian.
* StalkerWithACrush: Arguably, Forte. His obsession with Beast and desire to drive off any competition comes across more and more like a jilted lover as the movie goes on.
* VillainousBreakdown: Forte goes absolutely ''nuts'' at the climax of the film because he thinks that he's no longer important.
* VillainSong: Forte has "Don't Fall In Love".
* WritersCannotDoMath: As noted, this wreaks havoc on the original film's already debated timeline.
