I told you nothing would change. I told you the master would not allow this. I told you Christmas was a hopeless folly! But... I was wrong.
―Angelique[src]

Angelique is a character from Disney's 1997 animated film Beauty and the Beast: The Enchanted Christmas, a midquel to the 1991 animated film Beauty and the Beast. She is the castle's decorator who was transformed into a Christmas angel ornament by the Enchantress' curse. Angelique initially opposes preparing Christmas, as she fears the Beast will destroy her hard work, but Belle informs her of all the enjoyable things about the holiday.

Later in the movie, she comforts Belle in the dungeon and afterwards near the end of the movie she helps with the Christmas and castle decorating.

Background[]

All that is known is that she is simply a castle decorator. She is never shown in the original Beauty and the Beast film. According to her attitude toward hope and Christmas in the film, she acts somewhat bitter, since she is used to being let down and disappointed all the time. She was also implied to be a former flame of Lumiere (most likely due to his implied womanizing character).

Personality[]

Angelique is depicted as charming, stern, serious, and wanting everything to be as it should. She's a bit pessimistic and will predict outcomes quickly, and hates being smothered or goofing off when there is work to be done. Though stubborn and a little set in her ways, she will admit when she is wrong about something. Her style is always grace, warmth, and sophistication.

Physical appearance[]

Under the curse, Angelique is shown as an absolutely beautiful angel ornament with a sparkling blue dress, a light blue hairband, and a yellow halo. She has fair skin, blue eyes, rosy cheeks, pink lips, and short golden straight hair with bangs. Her light blue transparent wings allow her limited flight.

Her human form was very close in appearance to her object form, including the hairstyle, hair color, hairband, and dress, except that she also wears black ballet flats.

Appearances[]

Beauty and the Beast: The Enchanted Christmas[]

Angelique first appears at the beginning of the movie in her human form at the Beast's Castle and is seen decorating for Christmas. She then gathers around with the others to listen to Mrs. Potts' story about last year's Christmas. Angelique first appears in Mrs. Potts' flashback story as a Christmas angel stocked away in the castle's attic. When Belle, Lumiere, and Chip walked up towards the castle's attic looking for her, she pops out from a storage box along with a few other Christmas ornaments, and she's happy knowing that someone has come to take her and the other Christmas ornaments out of the attic. Belle and Lumiere explain to Angelique that they need her help decorating the castle for Christmas. But Angelique refuses to help because she believes decorating won't change the Beast's mind about Christmas, but Belle says that she believes that it will. During the song that Belle sings "As Long As There's Christmas", Angelique is taken by a flying bow and then put on the top of a pretend tree, stating that she does not want to be hung on top of the pretend tree.

Later on in the movie, when the Beast finds out that Belle has left the castle, not knowing that she only left to get a Christmas tree from the forest and come back afterward, he storms into the dining room where Angelique is and destroys all the Christmas decorations that Belle and her helpers have done and leaves angrily. Angelique puts her head down with sadness, believing that everything was as hopeless as she thought it would be. Later on, when Belle is brought back to the castle and put into the dungeon by the Beast thinking that she broke the promise she made to him about never leaving the castle, her friends come and visit her, and Angelique tells Belle that everything she told her was right and that she was wrong and then afterward starts singing a duet song with Belle "As Long As There's Christmas" making peace with Belle for what she had said about Christmas.

When the Beast decides to free Belle from the dungeon, Forte, the pipe organ, plays his piano really loudly in jealousy and anger, almost making the castle collapse on everyone and nearly causing the rose in the jar to fall down from the table it stands on, but Cogsworth manages to get ahold of it, and Angelique tells him not to let go of it. Later on, after the defeat of Forte, Lumiere tells Angelique that she said that Christmas was impossible, but Angelique says that she said Christmas would be impossible without her. Back in the present day, it is revealed that Belle was the one who saved Christmas and Angelique along with the others, who are now back in their original human forms, with Belle and the Prince in a Merry Christmas.

Trivia[]

  • Besides Lumiere, she is currently the only character to possess a genuine French accent in The Enchanted Christmas despite the setting of the movie being in France, as well as one of only two other characters in the overall franchise to possess such (the only other being Fifi, who coincidentally is also a lover of Lumiere).
  • During the Christmas season, Angelique can be seen as a decoration at the Be Our Guest Restaurant at the Magic Kingdom.
  • She is the only character object in the franchise to appear as a humanoid, as well one of the few characters with an onscreen human form to look the closest to her original human appearance in object form.
