History WesternAnimation / BeautyAndTheBeastTheEnchantedChristmas

* SmugSnake: Forte. His human form even looks reptilian.

!!Spoilers for ''WesternAnimation/BeautyAndTheBeast'' are unmarked. Administrivia/YouHaveBeenWarned!

** When Forte introduces himself to Belle in the 2011 release ("I am Miestro Forte, court composer...") the footage used appears to be an extended version of the beginning shot. Because of this sound is horribly out of synchronization and there is a slight pause focusing on the steps before the camera {{pan}}s up to Forte.

** When Forte shouts "I THINK NOT!" there is a keyhole cutaway when the camera dollies out, which was absent from earlier releases.

* OminousPipeOrgan: Guess who.

* GiantWaistRibbon: Belle's holiday dress has one, although it's larger in TheMerch with her dress than it was in the movie (and gold instead of red).

''Beauty and the Beast: The Enchanted Christmas'' (1997) is a DirectToVideo {{midquel}} to the Franchise/DisneyAnimatedCanon hit ''WesternAnimation/BeautyAndTheBeast''. This film takes place around the Christmas season in the middle of the events of the first film (thought considering the short timeframe of the original, this idea is highly dubious claim).

* ArmorPiercingResponse: In the boiler room, when the Best confronts Belle about trying to bring Christmas back to the castle, and still refusing to allow it, Belle ends their argument with a response that really hits close to home

'''Beast:''' You cannot possibly understand. [[DramaticIrony You have no idea what it's like to lose everything, to be trapped in your own castle, to be a…a…a…]]\\

-->'''Forte''': [[LampshadeHanging So naive]]. You're second fiddle, Fife, and that's all you'll ''EVER'' be!

* 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]]". 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. [[{{Reconstruction}} 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.

* CueTheFlyingPigs:
--> '''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.

* 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 [[WesternAnimation/SleepingBeauty theatrical]] [[WesternAnimation/TheHunchbackOfNotreDame films]]!

* ToplessFromTheBack: The animated montage during the "Stories" song briefly features a mermaid on a rock, her back to the audience. The lack of visible straps implies there is no SeaShellBra present.

* ImprobableHairstyle: Angelique has bobbed hair, as does her human form, similar to Plumette’s human form in the 1991 animated film.. The film takes place roughly in 18th century France, which the bob cut does not become popular unitl the.

Here, a few new characters are introduced, such as the villainous Forte, the castle's composer who was turned into a huge pipe organ. With his gloomy music being the only thing keeping the Beast happy - or slightly less sad - Forte has no desire for the curse to be broken, as he didn't really have any significance in the castle before then.

* GiftOfSong: The villainous Maestro Forte writes a song for Belle as a Christmas present.

* ImprobableHairstyle: Angelique has bobbed hair, as does her human form. The film takes place roughly in 18th century France.

* MinionWithAnFInEvil: Fife is initially this to Forte, but eventually has a HeelFaceTurn and starts rooting for the heroes.

* WarningSong: The succinctly titled song "Don't Fall in Love," in which Maestro Forte sings to Beast about how he shouldn't fall in love with Belle, or anyone else, listing a number of reasons why it will ruin his life. Played with in that Forte is a FalseFriend, and his warnings are (probably) not genuine, he only wants to keep the Beast from breaking the curse on him and the whole castle because it forces the Beast to [[AttentionWhore give Forte the attention he craves]].
