Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe flashback scene where the Prince is transformed into the Beast was the original idea for the prologue for Beauty and the Beast (1991), as suggested by lyricist Howard Ashman.
- GoofsChip makes it sound as if he's never experienced a Christmas before, though we see him in flashback (human form) celebrating Christmas Eve with the castle staff. He was already at least five years old when he was enchanted.
- Alternate versionsWhen the film was re-released on Blu-Ray and DVD in 2011, the following edits for the remastered version brought some small changes from previous releases of the film:
- The film is matted to a 16:9 widescreen format, while the original release was in a 1.33:1 aspect ratio.
- When Belle sings "It'll stay up until July...", in the original release, the camera is at a Dutch angle, where as in the later release, it is straight.
- When Forte introduces himself to Belle ("I am Miestro Forte, court composer...") the sound appears to be slightly out of synchronization and there is a slight pause focusing on the steps before the camera pans up to Forte.
- When Forte shouts "I THINK NOT!" there is a keyhole cutaway when the camera zooms out, in the earlier releases, there is none.
- The Christmas angel on the tree at the end of the flashback is replaced by one resembling Angelique.
- The end credits are golden yellow like the end credits of the first movie instead of chalk white like in the earlier releases.
- ConnectionsEdited into Disney Princess: A Christmas of Enchantment (2005)

Featured review
It just didn't seem to fit
Don't get me wrong this was not a bad movie, I just didn't think that it fit somehow. It didn't seem like a sequel or the "missing middle chunk" of the beloved cartoon. The first film, to me, seemed to have been set in the middle to late fall, I can stretch my imagination and see it possibly being November but not December. I think they could have made Forte' much more interesting and menacing and Fife was cute, but I think the real kudos goes to Haley Joel Osment's Chip. Paige O'Hara's Belle sings a lovely song about story books and this little sequence was charming, but still it seemed to lack the essence that made the original so magical. I rarely watch these Disney sequels anyhow due to the animation not being what it's like in the originals. I took a gamble and watched this and it was good, but nothing like the first and finest.
