Here's a drawing of Bella, why not?

For me, without a doubt, the best ships that Cogsworth has:

Christmas puddin, without a doubt 0w0

And the floor XD: I'm used to seeing Cogsworth fall to the floor, either because he was clumsy or because he was pushed

I know I’m a little late, but I would like to say Happy Birthday to Tim Curry who, if my math is correct, turned 77 today! By an amazing coincidence, I watched 2 episodes of The Mighty Ducks (the cartoon from 1996, not the movie) today. It’s getting a little late for anything like the TV mini-series, It or The Rocky Horror Picture Show, but I will be watching A Christmas Carol with Tim Curry since I get to watch, not only one of his more obscure films, but one where he sings so that’s a big win.

Happy Birthday Dr. Frank-N-Furter!

Long John Silver!

Hexxus!

Drake!

And so many more awesome rolls where he didn’t get the chance to show off his singing chops!

Feel free to reblog with your favourite Tim Curry performance, even if it’s already been mentioned, maybe include your favourite scene if you like!

I watched Beauty and the Beast Enchanted Christmas with my friends last night and my absolute disdain for this movie came flooding back in full force so I need to rant about it.

Let me just start off by saying when I was a kid, I was not critical of any media I consumed. Either I liked all of it and thought it was good, or I just wasn't into it, thought it was boring, and stopped watching it.

Enchanted Christmas was the first and only movie I ever watched while I was still a kid that I decided was bad, and I felt gross after seeing it all the way through. I was six years old, and did not rewatch it again until now.

Because the Beast is an actual domestic abuser throughout this entire movie.

The whole premise is that the Beast was apparently cursed and transformed on Christmas day, so Christmas is a huge trigger for him and he wants to ban it entirely from the castle so he doesn't forget. Even though Belle and the rest of the castle staff want Christmas. Even though the rest of the castle staff were also cursed on Christmas, the Beast's pain is apparently the only pain that matters.

In fact he's so triggered by Christmas that he had his castle decorator, who was cursed to become a Christmas tree angel topper locked away in a box in the fucking attic this entire time? Belle, Chip and Lumiere had to sneak up there to go see her? Angelique did nothing wrong, but she basically got sealed away because of what she was cursed to turn into. And the whole experience left her feeling bitter and hopeless, and the movie just frames it like she's being needlessly pessimistic and needs to get over it.

And honestly, like, the movie doesn't even try to hide the fact that the Beast is a blatant abuser. Everyone's lines about it are just so realistic when it comes to regularly dealing with somebody who is prone to taking their rage out on others.

Belle: "I don't know why I bother. Now he's worse than ever." Belle: "Why is the Beast such a grump? Chip: "I dunno. He's always like that."

Beast: Yes, and I’m hideous. Lumiere: (softly) Not to mention ill-tempered.

Angelique: "Hmph! I refuse to hope for it any more. I will not be disappointed again."

Like, all of the dialogue about him is about how he's a miserable ass, how he forbids shit left and right, and how they all have to avoid pissing him off. The entire conflict is fueled by the Beast, and how he might react if any of the other characters try to find some joy in their situation.

And my god does he take all of his anger out on Belle. He's a bit snappy with his staff, but Belle is the shiny new resident punching bag. She tried teaching him about the Yule Log tradition, and his response was to get in her face and scream at her.

"You made a Christmas wish last year! Is this what you wished for!?"

My guy. Her current situation is entirely your fault. The Beast snatches things out of her hands, gets in her face and screams at her in retaliation for his own fucking actions.

Does anyone else recognize this? Have you ever had somebody try to rip you to shreds for trying to find light and joy in your situation, or daring to wish for better? Maybe some of you haven't, but a lot of people probably do.

This isn't even touching on the scene where the Beast throws Belle into the dungeon after she falls into an icy river. This is the part where the Beast crosses the line from being an asshole to being completely unforgivable.

Belle ends up going out into the woods to find a Christmas Tree because even though the Beast is being an absolute ass about Christmas, the rest of the staff including Chip, a literal child, are excited about it.

The Beast in response to all this destroys all of the decorations the castle staff had set up together (while Angelique is still on the table, but at no point during this movie does the Beast even acknowledge she exists) and chases after Belle. He finds her just after an accident where she fell into a frozen river, and while she is still fading in and out of consciousness, he just... locks her in the dungeon.

Beast: You said you'd never leave. Belle: I wasn't trying to leave. I just wanted to make you happy. Beast: You broke your word. And for that you will rot in this dungeon forever.

This part permanently soured the Beast for me as a character from childhood. Like... the movie explicitly shows Belle in a bad state after nearly drowning in icy water, and struggling to stay awake. They go as far as to animate that she is struggling to even SEE him.

His actions at this point could have killed her. Also, Chip, Cogsworth, Lumiere, and Fife were all out in the wilderness with her. Why is BELLE the only one he's punishing? Why is the only one capable of dying of hypothermia being locked in the dungeon!? Where's her coat that she had in the last scene? Why isn't she being kept warm!?

I see people defending this too, like "This is still early in his character arc!" No, this is scorched earth. This completely ruins their relationship. There isn't a fucking library on the planet that makes up for this.

This entire movie has been Belle trying to reach the Beast and show him kindness, and this is what she gets in return. The Beast does absolutely nothing for her in this movie to reciprocate the effort, only going as far as to let her out of the dungeon and apologize when he remembers she made a Christmas present for him. He doesn't return the favor, and instead outsources her gift to the movie's villain, Forte.

I think this is the only movie that absolutely disgusted me from an early age to this degree. I remember the entire time feeling sad and hopeless for Belle, that the movie just wants me to accept that the Beast can do this to her with no repercussions. Even the ending when they supposedly made up had me feeling sour, because it never acknowledged that the Beast did anything wrong. It just zooms in on his eyes while he asks "Can you forgive me?" and gives them a sparkle effect and that's that. He's going to love bomb her with "the best Christmas she's always wanted" and the whole leaving her to rot thing is never addressed again.

Anyways, Beauty and the Beast content outside of the original film always manages to just waste any potential the characters have, and reduce the main romance to an abusive dynamic. This movie COULD have been the Beast putting in effort to win Belle over, or make up for the fact that this is a Christmas she'll spend away from her father because of him. But instead the burden is put on Belle and she gets brutalized for her efforts.

Thanks.

I hate it.

If I had a nickel for every Christmas movie where Tim Curry plays an antagonist I'd have three nickels.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no! They cannot mix bells with holly. Although, I have to admit, not bad for amateurs.

you literally cannot tell me that belle and adam only realized they were in love with each other at the end of "beauty and the beast" because those two fell HARD for each other during "batb: enchanted christmas" but didn't say anything bc they're idiots <3

[mirrormirror-bytherose]

How many of you are there in this castle?

"We were celebrating Christmas when the Enchantress came, so many of the staff were taking the holiday at home.  I know Angélique resented how the prince turned down chance after chance to throw a big party, but us sweepers and moppers and dusters appreciated the time off.  I was only still at work because, well…"

"Let us just say I had a rendez-vous to attend"

“So our majordomo Cogsworth and maître d'hôtel Lumiere were of course on duty, as was Monsieur Bouche in the kitchen.  Beatrice’s little ones have no home other than the castle, and she would never leave them.  Angelique and Hilda still set up decorations and entertainment, reserved as they were.  Maestro Forté had that song to present, and some of the other musicians may have stayed.  I cannot say why Monsieur Chapeau was present.  I shan’t say I am glad for him to be caught in the curse, but I am glad for his company."

"Ah, I feel as though I must be forgetting some of them.  Not all of us are so sociable, especially as appliances."

Kairi and Lea’s Keyblade Training

Kairi and Lea’s Keyblade Training - Part One

Song: Stories

Sung by: Belle, Kairi

Belle trains Kairi and Lea, freezing time in the world so they can take as long as they need to. After a while of training, Belle allows the two a break. Just in time for Christmas.

While Belle is wanting to bring Christmas back to the castle, Kairi just wants to know what Lea is trying to remember.

I’m sorry I left without saying goodbye. Did Master Yen Sid tell

you? I'm training to become a Keyblade wielder like you. That's right. No more waiting for you to come back from your adventures. I want to get out there and do my part to help. Master Belle has allowed us to train under her at the castle, where she stopped time for us. We can take as long as we need to complete our training. She’s an amazing mage. Oh, and by "us," I mean me and Lea. He's really sorry for all the trouble he caused. I told him it's fine, but he won't stop apologizing. I'll admit I was a little scared of him at

first, but I've gotten to know him better. All he ever wanted was to help his friend. Honestly, it's hard not to like him. Every now and then, I catch him staring at me. When I ask what's wrong, he says, "I'm not sure.

I think I'm forgetting something. Don't know what." Kida, I think it may have something to do with you. Your journey is all about helping people: some that you've never met before, and some like Lea that you have. They're all counting on you. It won't be easy, but I hope you'll remain the happy and cheerful Kida I know. There's no heart your smile can't reach.

Kairi feels eyes staring at her. She looks up, seeing Lea leaning against the open door to her bedroom at Beast’s castle. “Lea? Is something wrong?” She asks, making him break his stare. “It’s nothing. Sorry.” He tries to shake it away, but Kairi knew better. She waved her hand, letting him come in.

Lea walks into her room, sitting on a chair opposite from her bed as she continues writing. “A letter?” He asks, receiving a nod in return. “For Kida?” She shrugs a little. “Technically, but I won’t send it. It’s more for me.” “Ask Cogsworth. He’ll send it for you.”

Kairi nods in understanding before continuing. “Yeah, but it's okay. I just like talking to Kida, even if it's on paper.” Lea finally got it, dropping the topic. He pulls out a couple of ice cream bars. “Here.” He hands one to her. “Ice cream? Really? In this weather?” She was slightly teasing.

“Yeah, I asked Master Belle to pick them up.” Lea explains. “We both summoned Keyblades. Gotta celebrate.” She accepts one of the ice cream’s. “You’re sweet, Lea.”

Lea zoned out again, catching Kairi’s attention. “What?” He snaps out of it. “Nothing. I’m good…” He lies, turning away from her. She didn’t press on anymore. “So, next week, you ready?” She asks, getting a half hearted response. “Yeah. Of course.”

“Don’t hold back, Lea. Promise?”

He looks up to Kairi after hearing her say that, only he didn’t see her. He couldn’t clearly see who it was, but he did see that it was a boy with spiky, pink hair and an Organization coat. Lea’s ice cream slips out of his hand and he feels tears streaming down his face.

Kairi, concerned for her friend, immediately got off her bed and walked over to him. “Lea? Are you ok?” He tries wiping the tears away as Kairi gets closer to him. He gets up from his seat, still trying to clear away the ongoing tears. “Yeah, I’m sorry.” “You’re crying. What’s wrong?”

She was now trying to get an answer from him, only to be shut down once again. “Something in my eyes. I gotta go. Sorry.” He says, finally done crying. She decided to drop it, not wanting to pressure him. “‘Kay, but stop apologizing.”

Lea looks at Kairi for a second before responding. “Fine, on one condition.” He says. She responds with a question to what. “Call me Axel from now on.” She nods in understanding. “Ok, Axel.” He gently smiles at her before heading out of the room, leaving his ice cream on the floor.

Later that same day, Kairi was taking a walk through the castle, stopping in her tracks when she hears music coming from a nearby hallway. She enters the room, seeing an organ playing a chilling tune. She tries to stay out of sight.

He suddenly stops, opening his eyes. “Don’t be alarmed, child. Come out.” He says. Kairi walks into his line of vision. “Ah, you must be one of those “trainees” sent here.” Kairi bows her head in respect. “Yes. My name is Kairi. It’s a pleasure to meet you, sir.” “And I am Maestro Forte, Court Composer. The pleasure is mine, Carrie.” That takes her off guard. “My name is Kairi.”

He changes the subject. “Anyways, in the midst of my crescendo, I thought I heard merriment outside the window. Have a look see, will you?” She walks over, looking through the window. She smiles to herself. “Would you look at that?”

“Oh! I think I might!” Forte says, raising his voice. “I’ll just pick myself up and- Oh!” Large clanking echos in the room as Forte “tries to move”. “What’s thi- hump-! I’M BOLTED TO THE WALL!”

Kairi sheepishly chuckles. She turns back to the window. “The Beast is skating.” She tells Forte. “Why on earth would he do that?” He sounded disgusted. “Well it looks like Belle is helping him.” She felt her smile grow. “It’s so romantic just thinking about it.”

At that moment, more music started playing. Her vision went green for a minute before going back to normal. “You know why I can’t have that. Humanity is entirely over rated. Before the enchantment, there was no need for my particular brand of genius. But now, the master needs my melodies to feed his tormented soul. I am his confident and his best friend...and I won't let some peasant girl ruin it for me!”

Forte let’s out his frustration before calming. “Carly, see to it that this blossoming love withers on the vine.” She nods her head. "Sure thing, Maestro." As she walks out of the door, she forgets the whole interaction, heading down to one of the many rooms in the castle, wondering where Axel went.

"Why is The Beast such a grump?" She hears Belle down the hall, followed by Chip. "I don't know. He's always been this way." The two walk into the same room Kairi is in. "Even on Christmas?" Belle asks, receiving a yes in return. Belle walks over to a nearby desk as Chip hops over to Kairi. "Kairi? What's Christmas?" He asks her. She slightly smile, kneeling down and extending her hand down to Chip.

Chip hops onto her hand, letting her lift him up. "You must know about Christmas, Chip." She says, not taking notice to Belle walking up to the two. "Stockings in front of the fire? Tree? Tinsel?" Chip shakes his head, not knowing what she was talking about. "What about presents? You must know about that." Kairi asks a final question, receiving an enthusiastic response. "Presents? Do I get one?"

Kairi places Chip on a nearby desk as Belle answers his question. "Of course. Everyone gets a present on Christmas." "Even the master?' Chip must be referring to The Beast, who was the master of the castle. Kairi had met him once when she arrived there. She wasn't around him long enough to know exactly what he was like, but considering everyone's loud opinions on him and the fact that Axel tried to stay away from him is that he wasn't really favored by the people who shares the same space as him. Belle still answered Chip's question. "Yes, even the master."

"What are you going to get him?" Chip asks Belle, confusing her. "I don't really know him that well to know what he would want." Chip decided to change the question. "What would you want?" Belle smiles. "What I love most in the world are my books. My stories." Kairi smiles, hearing Belle say that.

Before Asnem dragged the Destiny Islands to darkness, Kida was a lot like Belle in this instance. When them and their brother weren't hanging out with each other, Kida always kept to herself with her books. It was the only thing that Kida kept from their old home, but they have been destroyed since.

"Why don't you give the master a story?" Chip asks, sparking an idea in Belle. "You're right, Chip. A story." Belle places a piece of paper down on the desk and Chip hops on top of it as Kairi takes a hold of a quill pen.

Belle: When I get to know him We'll find more things to say One day I will reach him There has to be a way Everyone needs someone He must need someone, too When I get to know him better Here's what I will do I'll read him stories From picture books All filled with wonder Magic worlds where the impossible Becomes the everyday We'll find a mountain-top And some moon-beams to sit under I'll lead, because I know the way! Kairi: So much to discover I do it all the time I could live inside bright pages Where the words all rhyme We will slay the dragons That still follow him around And he'll smile Yes, he'll smile As his dreams leave the ground!

Belle: Stories and stories About mermaids, kings and sunken treasure Magic worlds where the impossible Becomes the everyday

I know a tiny place Just a dot, Too small to measure I'll lead him there, I know the way!

Kairi: Stories about heroes Who overcame their deepest sorrows They'll put hope into his heart again To cherish everyday

Belle: He'll find a better world And the strength to face tomorrow

Both: I'm sure that when he knows the way He'll want to stay...

Belle had accidentally tied Chip down to the packaging of the book the three had made for The Beast. Kairi helps him out of the ribbon. "Do you think the master will like his gift?" He asks Kairi. "I'm pretty sure he will."

So, does this mean we're gonna have a Christmas? / Absolutely!
