Beauty and the Beast: The Enchanted Christmas (1997)

[sundove88]

My Top 10 Most Brutal Disney Villain Deaths (In my Opinion):

1. Scar (Eaten alive by your own comrades.)

2. Frollo (Symbolically satisfying.)

3. Clayton (THE SHADOW MAKES IT WORSE!!!)

4. Dr. Facilier (Nice reprise of Friends on The Other Side, considering what’s gonna happen to him.)

5. Ursula (Seafood shish kebab, anyone?)

6. Syndrome (This is why Edna said NO CAPES!!)

7. Lyle Rourke (He got what he wanted, but not in the way he wanted.)

8. Gaston (No one falls to his death in the rain like you know who!)

9. Hopper (Guess this was very easy to see coming!)

10. Shan Yu (Talk about going out with a bang!)

Honorable Mentions:

Queen Grimhilde (Those vultures were there for a reason.)

Forte (If he changed back to a human when the curse was broken, I would NOT wanna see the results.)

Hades (At least he can say he deserved it.)

The Horned King (So THIS is why the movie had to have so much cut from it.)

A Daydreamer's Holiday Movie Marathon: Beauty & The Beast's Enchanted Christmas🌹💛🎄

Here is another holiday film straight out of The House of Mouse once again. This is Beauty and the Beast: The Enchanted Christmas which came out in 1997. Almost everyone in town is celebrating Christmas at the castle which has now been free of its curse. Mrs. Potts tells everyone the story of how Belle brought back the magic of Christmas to the castle a year ago when everyone was still cursed while Belle was still held prisoner. Mrs. Potts's son, Chip has yet to celebrate the holiday season so Belle intends to change that. She convinces the castle staff in taking part in the holiday season. However, everyone is hesitant since the Beast isn't so easily swayed into a celebratory mood nor has anyone celebrated Christmas in so long. Still, Belle isn't the type of person to give up so easily. She and Chip work to get the castle a little more festive with both the help of Mrs. Potts, Cogsworth, Lumiere, and the rest of the staff. They even convince the old tree ornaments to help them despite the tree-toper ornament, Angelique who is the most doubtful that this plan will work. Belle even writes a book as a present for the Beast. Unfortunately, there's trouble brewing with the castle's pipe organ named, Forte who is determined to stop Belle's plans as he keeps trying to tell the Beast how dreadful the holiday is and how love won't make him happy while he sends out Fife (the castle piccolo) to cause some mischief.

I do like this film, but I can agree that it's not really a great sequel to Beauty and the Beast. The animation isn't up to par with the first film (but that's expected if you've seen some of Disney's late 90s/early 2000s sequels). It's actually a mixture of a sequel and a mid-quel. I actually started watching this movie when i was a teenager because I didn't know it existed when I was little. I saw some clips on YouTube and I wanted to know where it came from. I almost thought it was lost media. I also saw this air on TV and it's on Disney Plus so that's fun. While this film does in fact have messiness to it, this movie does have a lot of charm to it. I love Forte as the villain who's not only fully animated in CGI, but voiced by Tim Curry as well! Belle is still lovable, Chip is adorable, the castle staff play off each other really well, and I enjoy the songs. Not a great sequel, but a good Christmas special!

Part 1 | Christmas Parts 14 | Part 15

Part 16

Max pressed a palm gently into Daniel’s side and pushed him back onto the sidewalk and out of the way of an upcoming cyclist. They were out in the shopping district and Daniel was doing that thing again, where he was looking above them rather than in front. The city had started putting up their holiday decor, so there were new things to enjoy. Up ahead in the city center they were erecting a fairly large tree. It was impressive, Daniel looked plenty impressed, if a bit unnerved.

Grabbing his shoulder again, Max turned Daniel into the store he had requested they go to. They were buying Christmas decorations today and Daniel had been extremely excited. They’d just come from a shop where they ordered a tree to be delivered and now it was time to find things to decorate it.

“What colours should we get, Maxy?” Daniel asked excitedly, he was looking around with wide eyes, hands clasped in front of him as if to keep himself in check and not touch anything. Max thought that was fair because there were quite a few things in the store that looked breakable if you even looked at them too long. 

“How did you even know about this store?”

“Sophie suggested it.” Daniel was biting his cuticle again, looking at Max as if he was waiting for him to disagree with the shop choice. Max shrugged, if his mother suggested it, then it more than likely had what they were looking for.

“I dunno. Maybe gold, I think?” Max said, answering the original question as his way of confirming that he didn’t mind the shop.

“Yeah, but gold and what? We can’t just have a gold tree, Maxy.” Daniel teased, a grin on his face and a sparkle in his eye. Max smiled back helplessly and shrugged.

“I dunno, red maybe?”

“Gold and red it is!” Daniel sauntered off, looking at everything with a bit of childlike wonder. Every now and again he would zero in on something as if listening, before walking over to far corners of the shop and picking things up. 

Max wandered around as well, picking up little knick knacks style ornaments that caught his eye. Things he thought Daniel would enjoy as well. He made a small offering pile at the cash register. Similar to the piles of dead things the cats used to leave him. Max smiled at that.

Daniel wandered over eventually with a small shopping cart filled with decorations. All in their own packaging, it looked overwhelming. But Max trusted that Daniel knew what they were for. He watched as Daniel took in the small pile of trinkets. His eyes furrowed then widened in happiness. He looked to Max in confirmation that he could touch one.

Daniel took a small cat ornament into his hand, it was gold and shimmered in the lights.

“This is Sassy.” Daniel smiled then picked up the almost identical red ornament. “And Jimmy.” he looked up at Max through his lashes before looking back through the rest of the trinkets selected by Max. There was a paper plane and a bird. Daniel felt a flutter in his chest, he was touched.

He noticed the display that Max had apparently taken the ornaments from and scanned it quickly. His honey orbs locked on one in the shape of a car, it wasn't a race car but it reminded Daniel of that day in the mountains more than anything. And it was blue. 

He placed it in the pile and watched as Max took it in and a smile slid on his face as he placed the memory as well. There was a small blush on Max’s face as he put the car back within the group of red and gold. Daniel felt his heart swoop in his chest. Oh no.

He bit his cuticles as Max paid for everything, trying to not wince at the total price of the haul. Max didn't bat an eyelash so Daniel would try to not make a thing about it.

They managed to fit the bags in the car and Max led Daniel around the shopping center in search of a restaurant to have lunch at. They got a seat on the patio of a bistro and Max pulled out Daniel's chair for him.

“There's a Christmas market being set up, we can go there if you want?” Max asked offhandedly, skimming through the menu. Daniel looked over at him with a smile.

“That would be fun, we could go when everyone comes? The boys would love it.” Daniel rested his head on his upturned palm. Max tried his damnedest to barely look at Daniel more than a glance. He knew he would stare otherwise.

“Yes, that sounds good, I think. We could do it and the tree lighting maybe.”

“Ace!” Daniel grinned then placed his order when the waiter came by. Daniel tried to ignore how domestic it felt, having lunch at a restaurant with Max. It felt like a date almost, but Daniel wasn't going to think too deeply about it.

It would be what Michelle always called a ‘day date' (not really) where you run an errand and maybe get a meal. And you talk and enjoy each other's presence. If this were a date (it wasn't) then this would be a nice one. Daniel would still tell Michelle about it, but he'll make sure she knows that it was all platonic and non-date-like.

They continued to chat about the upcoming holiday season and all the things Daniel wanted to do for the boys. It was a lovely afternoon, the air was getting cooler and Daniel knew soon he wouldn't want to come outside without a hoodie. As it stood, he was ok right now as long as the sun stayed out.

There was a stiff breeze and Daniel shivered, his oversized T-shirt no match for the cooler seabreeze. Max's laugh rang out happily as he noticed. 

“Daniel it's not even that cold yet.” Max teased. Daniel smiled sheepishly and shrugged.

“I'm baby ok!” Daniel complained with a pout. He watched as Max stood from his seat and took off the lightweight cardigan he had been wearing over his tshirt. The same cardigan Daniel had teased him for wearing, citing that he didn't need anything for the current temperature. Daniel had gone to Jimmy and Sassy and ‘whispered’ conspiratorially that he was better at Max in the cold.

Daniel's face reddened as Max dropped the body warmed fabric over his shoulders. It smelled like Max's cologne and deodorant. He looked up at Max's crinkley eyed smile, back lit by the bright blue sky and reminded himself multiple times that this wasn't a date. Max was just a nice, lovely, considerate person.

This wasn't a date, this was just friends getting lunch. Friends who happened to live together– temporarily. 

“Thank you Maxy.” Daniel said shyly. This wasn't a date.

“Oh, of course, it is no problem, Daniel.” Max said, slipping back into his chair. His shoulders seemed to broaden and get bigger now that they weren't being hidden by his sweater. Daniel looked away from Max's chest and biceps that were now indecently front and center. This wasn't a date.

But if it was, it would be simply lovely.

Disney 100 ✨🏰🤍

Wishing you all a happy new year and to Disney, a belated 100th anniversary! 🎉

To celebrate Disney’s century milestone, I created an illustration based on 100 of Disney’s most known and loved characters from their respective movies/ series. I’ve included all the ones I’ve known and feel are generally popular but I’m sorry if your personal favourites aren’t here.

This has been in the works for almost four months now but due to many delays I couldn’t finish it on time. So here it finally is!

Out of all these range characters, the hardest to draw was the Cars. I’m not used to drawing cars so I’m not generally good at them (yet). Some of these may look simple and easy to draw but trust me, they’re not 😂.

With drawing the characters and the background, I like to be accurate with the respective style it’s drawn/ animated in and the colours too. But also I wanted to also simplify the 3D ones and add a little depth using shadow to the 2D ones. For example some of these films would have a desaturated grainy effect to it and I wanted to keep that. But finally after months of working on it, it’s completed and I’m happy with it! ✨.

Please, please do check it out on Instagram too:

Beauty and the Beast: The Enchanted Christmas

[frie-ice]

The second collage on my Disney Princess and their iconic items series. After I found a book cover of Belle with the Enchanted Rose I had to include it in the collage, along with throwing in their Toy, Once Upon A Time and remake counterparts. Belle approaching the rose in the Christmas special has me wondering if the rose was somehow calling to her or if she simply feels drawn to it. The Twisted Tales version of BatB did have the Enchantress as Belle's mother.
