over the course of this beauty and the beast/disney music hyperfixation many [youtubers] have talked about the evil tim curry pipe organ and the french bernadette peters tree topper angel, but nobody prepared me for jeff bennett aka johnny bravo aka kowalaki, the tall penguin of madagascar, voicing an axe with the hammiest yiddish accent i have ever heard.

#it was fun to watch i feel like the main theme… it seems like i’ve heard it in every christmas movie ever somehow #specifically like elf or the santa clause or polar express or something like that idk #highlights include the evil green cherubs the tim curry organ summoned during his villain song and bernadette peters singing a bitter sweet #reprise of the christmas song in a zany french accent #was the characterization good? not really. did it add anything meaningful to the original story? no. but the new characters were fun-#the voice acting and the animation was solid #and i thought it was funny - though usually not intentionally #i just wanted to check out some songs but i wound up watching the whole thing in three minute clips on youtube… whoops..#at one point the axe says ‘merry christmas and happy hanukkah!’ i guess that’s their 1997 gesture at being inclusive?#beauty and the beast #disney
