Uncritical childen will be happy to see all the familiar characters from the 1991 Disney hit BEAUTY AND THE BEAST, but this perfunctory direct-to-video sequel lacks both the charm and lush animation of its predecessor.
The story takes place within the time frame of the original BEAUTY AND THE BEAST, as Belle (voice of Paige O'Hara) is held captive in the castle of the Beast (voice of Robby Benson), but before they fall in love. Belle decides to throw a Christmas celebration, aided by her friends at the castle.
But when former court composer Forte (voice of Tim Curry)--now a giant pipe organ and jealous of the Beast's blossoming love for Belle--learns of the plan...
