History WesternAnimation / BeautyAndTheBeastTheEnchantedChristmas

* PunctuatedForEmphasis:

* {{Yandere}}: Forte to Beast.

* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: The real Christmas miracle in the movie is how they got away with an organ telling the Beast, "If you're turned on, then just turn off!" as part of his VillainSong.

* ICanChangeMyBeloved: {{Invoked}}, [[DeconstructedTrope Denconstructed]], [[DeconReconSwitch and then]] [[{{Reconstruction}} Reconstructed]]. Despite doubting whether she should keep trying to reach the Beast, as it seems that he is now worse than ever when he gets enraged by his monstrous shape in the snow and storms off in a fury, Belle still insists that "[[InvokedTrope one day, I will reach him, there has to be a way]]" -- given that this movie takes place after the Beast saved her from the wolves and gave her the library as a gift, she ''kind of'' has an excuse because these noble gestures allowed Belle to begin accepting him and warming up to him. Nevertheless, Belle and the Beast's confrontation in the boiler room shows that she still considers herself a prisoner in the castle, and when the Beast throws her into the dungeon to rot after she goes out into the woods to get a suitable Christmas tree even though [[IGaveMyWord Belle accepted the condition that she remain in the castle forever]], Belle says "[[DeconstructedTrope I should have known that you'd always be a beast]]". [[RealityEnsues She has seemingly realized]] that the Beast cannot be cured of his many deep-seated psychological traumas [[EpiphanyTherapy simply by doing deeds which even make]] ''[[EpiphanyTherapy him]]'' [[EpiphanyTherapy feel good inside himself]], and gives up on trying to reach him for the moment. [[ReconstructedTrope Fortunately]], the Beast asks for her forgiveness after [[HeelRealization coming to his senses and realizing that Belle just wants him to be happy]], releases her from the dungeon, and even prepares to join the Christmas festivities.

* NearVillainVictory: Forte has Belle head into the Black Forest and almost drown, and nearly manipulates Beast into destroying the rose in anger from this. If a petal from the rose didn't fall on the storybook Belle wrote for Beast which gives him hope, Forte would've won.

* GilliganCut:
--> '''Lumiere:''' (singing) ''Deck the halls with boughs of holly!'' Haha, there must be much, much more holly!
--> '''Cogsworth:''' (singing) ''’Tis the season to be-'' Wh-What’s this? There’s too much holly.

** The film is matted to match widescreen formats, while the original release was held in a 1.33:1 aspect ratio.

* AmbiguouslyBi: Carried in with Lumiere. The audience is introduced to a former female love interest of his (Angelique). However, he also pretends his wick is mistletoe and kisses Cogsworth under it.

* SpiritualAntithesis: In terms of individual scenes, how the Prince's transformation into the Beast is depicted. Whereas the original film explains the Beast's backstory through narration and stained glass murals, this film actually ''[[ShowDontTell shows]]'' the transformation taking place. The two scenes, despite depicting the same turn of events, have very different intentions: the former [[MonsterReveal keeps the Beast obscured]] while hinting at his inner turmoil, while the latter - which by this point audiences would be well familiar with his character - shows the full extent of his PainfulTransformation.

''Beauty and the Beast: The Enchanted Christmas'' (1997) is a DirectToVideo {{midquel}} to the Franchise/DisneyAnimatedCanon hit ''Disney/BeautyAndTheBeast''. This film takes place around the Christmas season in the middle of the events of the first film.

* 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]]!

* NearVillainVictory: Forte has Belle head into the black forest and almost drown, and nearly manipulates Beast into destroying the rose in anger from this. If a petal from the rose didn't fall on the storybook Belle wrote for Beast which gives him hope, Forte would've won.

* BigBadFriend: Forte.

* ArtShift: The animation during the "Stories" musical number is drawn as if it was from the 16th/17th century.

* ThreeDEffectsTwoDCartoon: Forte is the only CGI character in the entire film. However, this was deliberate.

* CursedWithAwesome: Forte, whose transformation as an organ gives him a strength he could only dream to possess as a human, and made him Beast's closest confidant...
** BlessedWithSuck: ...however, what he gained in strength he lost in mobility since, well, [[MemeticMutation HE'S BOLTED TO THE WALL]]!

That hope is the greatest of the gifts we'll receive...''

** The colors obviously, are slightly pale in the newer releases.

* DemotedToExtra: Babette/Fifi the feather duster has one line during the "As Long As There's Christmas" number, but other than that, she has no importance. Though she ''does'' get more attention in the much-maligned ''[[Disney/BeautyAndTheBeastBellesMagicalWorld Belle's Magical World]]''.

* ChristmasEpisode[=/=]ChristmasSpecial
* ConspicuousCG: Forte is the only CGI character in the entire film. [[UncannyValley It shows.]] However, this was deliberate.
