Plot Summary
While Belle is staying at the Beast's castle, she decorates the castle for Christmas despite a far-from-festive Beast's orders not to. But her plans to introduce Beast to the Christmas Spirit are opposed by Forte the pipe organ who fears that if the curse on Beast is lifted – as happiness is bound to do – then Beast will no longer need to seek solace by using Forte. The scheming Forte uses Fife, a naive but ambitious flute who desires only to perform a solo, as his unwitting accomplice…
