Abysmal. Supposedly takes place in the middle of the first Beauty and the Beast, which retroactively makes that film worse. Has some of the worst songs of any Disney film, and adds a new character (an Axe) whose existences I’m fairly sure counts as a hate crime. Almost saved by the mad choice to make the baddie a Svengali-esque pipe organ jarringly and inexplicably animated in Reboot-calibre CGI (despite everything else in the film being traditionally animated, so every shot of him seems like it’s from a different movie) and voiced by Tim Curry channeling the same energy he brought to Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3. Almost saved. But no, it’s terrible.
