When people think of the classic Disney Renaissance they usually think of the theatrically released films. However what alot of people forget is that Disney also made a ton of direct to VHS later direct to DVD sequels to their most popular and well for a time one of their most popular was Beauty And The Beast which managed to spawn not one not two but technically three direct to VHS movies with this review being of the third movie and so then join me as I review the film makes the live action 2017 remake look good be comparison with the film in question being called simply just "Beauty And The Beast: Belle's Magical World" enjoy.
The plot of this film is the very first thing that's also wrong with this film as this film has no plot to speak of whatsoever. With the film instead being made up of three unconnected animated segments all of which have nothing to do with each other which if this was originally meant to be a film would be understandable but this was never meant to be a film and so the team just didn't bother to find away to link these segments together either by new animation or even perhaps a simple voice over and as such this films lack of a plot is a really big issue in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
Starring in this film is Paige O'Hara as Belle , Robby Benson as Beast and David Ogden Stiers as Cogsworth and as The Narrator. Also starring in this film is Gregory Grudt as Chip , Anne Rogers as Mrs. Potts , Jerry Orbach as Lumiere , Kimmy Robertson as Fifi The Featherduster , the great Frank Welker as Sultan The Footstool , the great Jim Cummings as Webster , Tubaloo , Chef Bouche and The Punch Bowl , Jeff Bennett as Crane and Frappe , the great Rob Paulsen as LePlume , Tres and The Egg Beater , the great April Winchell as Chandeleria , Chaude and Concertina and Jo Anne Worley as Armoire The Wardrobe.
Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty really good. With alot of the films main cast returning for this movie and so it does make sense that they would turn in some really good performances as they would know how best to portray their character in any given scene.
Doig the animation for this film is the little known animation studio that's known as Toon City Animation. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty really bad which really shouldn't be the case for an animated Beauty And the Beast sequel but is sadly a very common thing for alot of these direct to VHS and direct to DVD Disney animated sequels.
Like Aladdin Beauty And The Beast was meant to get an animated TV show but for some strange reason the show was cancelled mid production. With what I think are the only fully completed episodes being edited into this movie and well I can kind of see why they didn't push forward with a Beauty And the Beast animated TV show as just based of off the segments in this film the show would have been a midquel in other words it would have bee set during certain events of the movie and there's only so many stories that you can tell with that idea in mind before things start to get really repetitive and that happens very quickly in this film.
I do give this film credit for having original musical numbers with the songs for this film being written by an unknown song writer. However having original songs doesn't equal a good movie as this film is very episodic in nature which given it's origins is very understandable but when Disney made the call to turn this TV show into a film then they should have done something to make it feel more like a film instead of being hastily put together which just makes the whole thing look like nothing more then a cheap cash grand and nothing more then that.
Where this episode feels very repetitive is The Beast himself as this film has two segments where The Beast has to deal with his anger issues. You really needed only one segment to talk about his anger but yet because the original show most likely didn't have that many fully completed episodes to begin with we instead get two segments in the same film with The Beast learning not to be so angry all the time which is just boring to see as it's something that gets covered in the films first segment and so we don't really need to see it again in the films final segment as we've already seen it.
Now then this film has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly one hour and twenty eight minuets and four seconds. Which for this kind of film is a tad bit on the long side as there is no plot to this film at all and so all your left doing is watching these characters go about their day to day lives and there's only so long you can sit through that before it starts to get really dull and boring which with this film is very quickly however tho I will very much that this film really does have some really good pacing to it.
So now then since this is a comedy that means that I have to actually talk about the actual comedy that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual comedy that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty OK at best. A characters like Lumiere , Cogsworth and Chandeleria did get some decent jokes in but alot of the characters including both Belle and The Beast have some pretty lame and unfunny jokes in this film in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
Overall this is a pretty bad film and is not worthy of the Beauty And The Beast name as this film is just bad in alot of ways possible and like I said at the start of the review it makes the 2017 live action Disney remake look good by comparison in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very film in this very review as such that means that this very film earns itself a grand old score of exactly a 3 out of 10 from me.
Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from the official Disney fandom wiki page and Google Images. With my personally preferred website that I personally preferred to use to get the images that I personally used in this very review being the wonderful Google Images since all of the images that are currently up and and featured / presented to us on Google Images are all fairly high in quality and as well as being fairly freaking high in definition.
