A lot of people have been asking us to combine Disneycember seasons into one video so we did just that. We will be uploading these videos once a month leading up to the new Disneycember at the end of this year. What movies should Doug cover for this years Disneycember?
Channel Awesome ❤
for this year's Disney you should review the "remaining one", the new Marvel, Ghibli, Pixar, Star Wars and Disney movies that have come out, heck, there'smore than enough for a month so..... pretty please?
Homeward Bound - The Incredible Journey AND The Adventures of Huck Finn with Elijah Wood!
Both movies named out in 1993!
Alright then, I dont mind this and its nice to look back.
I disagree about Mulan, she wasn't setting out to prove that "We can do it", she was trying to fit in her role in her society at the beginning and failed miserably. She wanted to bring her family honor, and also wanted to protect her father and her country and figured if she couldn't be bride, maybe she could be a better soldier. Even without knowing her gender, she's immediately piled on and seen as weak among her comrades and she pushes herself beyond what's thought possible and works her way up. She shows compassion for the people of China when they come across the destroyed village and she's clever in battle; both characteristics are hinted at the beginning before meeting the matchmaker as well. Therefore, I think she has an incredible amount of character and I think the only reason it seems like a "girl power" story is because of the time period and country the tale takes place in. However, I never personally felt like her gender was the forefront of the movie, I honestly felt like it was more of an underdog story.
I agree with a lot of this; honestly the fact that she DOES try to fit into the given role and finds that she doesn’t fit honestly makes her a much more interesting character, in my opinion. She’s a lot more heartful and genuine than people give her credit for.
"It wasn't about a girl who was a hero, it was about a hero who was a girl." -Doug Walker, Kim Possible: The Movie review.
On Pinocchio: Why not have the lessons already learned?
Because if she just programmed him to be perfect he would still be a puppet.
I guess the point is to organically learn the lessons which is how ordinary people learn them
Like Robocop?
😮😮😯😲🤯
That's heavy man. I never thought of it that way.
...Yeah,this makes sense.
Also, but apart from the fact that maybe she couldn't do that with her magic--she did say that setting him free was the last time she could help him and also think about it like Genie in Aladdin; he couldn't wish himself free--but also, if she could make Pinocchio perfect and have him born that way, then why not do that with all people in real life? Therefore, we don't learn anything!
I honestly didn't even know that The Rescuers was a movie till years after seeing The Rescuers Down Under. I watched that movie so many times and had no idea it was a sequel.
Rescuers is my favorite Disney film series behind Atlantis. They actually had great sequels! For Disney that's like... impossible! Every Renaissance and Revival Era film had to have at least one unwarranted, inferior sequel. But it's the wonderful writing of Rescuers and Atlantis that makes even their sequels enjoyable! And the concept of a mouse society dedicated to saving kidnapped children around the world from heartless traffickers is some Disney magic right there. Both movies are among my Disney favs. Timeless.
I was the exact same way but with the books.
me, too.
I remember one line from the villain in Mulan: "A little girl will be missing her doll. We should return it to her." I'm not sure if it's because it's horrifying or a good line. Anyone else remember that?
Yeah that line is fucking scary, but hey at least the girl will have her doll... in heaven
Also when just after he tells the two Chinese scouts to go tell the emperor he’s coming for him.
Shang-yu: how many man does it take to deliver a message?
Archer as he aim an arrow: one.
@@chloemarso1778 You're right! I actually remember that line too! That's why I still like Shan-yu as a villain. He may not have been the most fleshed out character but his brutality made him intimidating.
You should see if you can find the old Nostalgia Chick Mulan review. She reuploaded them with the series named "Nostalgia Woman", so it's still available. When that line came up, she immediately exclaimed "Horrific implication time!" Still, one warning for the video: It shows a picture of bound feet. When Nella screams, don't look at the screen unless you want to see something REALLY horrific. For a thousand years, Chinese women all had their natural feet injured and deformed, and that's what they looked like (Mulan escaped this because foot binding happened after her time).
@@strawberrysoulforever8336 I looked for Lindsay's Mulan video online but the playlist is not accessible anymore. Luckily, I have a copy that I saved from before so I was able to rewatch it. Yeah, that foot binding was pretty disturbing! I have one more positive thing to say about Shan-Yu, though. I love the dialogue between him and the Emperor near the end of the movie. It really fits into his arc through the movie. He has a similar arc to the Grasshoppers in A Bug's Life. His mission is to keep China and its leaders afraid and weakened so they won't think that they can defeat the the Huns. But then Mulan deals him a crucial blow by decimating his army which causes Shan-Yu's arrogance and superiority to overwhelm his judgement as he desperately tries to think of a way to complete his objective with only a handful of men. His solution? Kidnap the Emperor and force him to admit the strength and power of the Huns in front of thousands of people before killing him in disgrace. It's really the only feasible move he can do with what's left of his men but then he goes through all this effort and he finally has the Emperor at his mercy but the Emperor refuses to debase himself. He firmly refuses to play along and opts to die with dignity: "No matter how the wind howls, the mountain cannot bow to it". It's at that point that Shan-Yu realizes he can't get what he wants because the Emperor will not break. So, he tries to kill the Emperor to cause as much damage to China as possible because the Emperor's defiance, after Mulan's defiance with the avalanche, infuriates him. Then after Shang pins down Shan-Yu, Mulan gets the Emperor to safety and defies Shan-Yu for the second time by cutting the rope the Emperor had escaped on before Shan-Yu could use it. Mulan then reveals that she is the one who defied him with the avalanche. And just like the head Grasshopper in A Bug's Life, being defied successfully one too many times by the same person causes Shan-Yu to forsake everything else and try to kill her because it's all he has now. The Emperor's safe and he's out of ideas so his only thought now is revenge on the one he now blames for all of it: Mulan. And his arc ends when he gloats that she's all out of ideas, now paying the ultimate price for underestimating Mulan, just like he underestimated the Emperor and China.
Treasure Planet is a awesome movie, it's not set in the future it's set in a "steampunk-like" universe (which personally I really dig) and it wasn't a product of the marketing department, it actually was a passion project of John Musker and Ron Clements who pitched this movie multiple times before Disney reluctantly green lit it... It's one of the few Disney movie that I ever enjoyed, mostly because of that awe inspiring setting, which it still is one of the most original to ever appear in a Disney flick
HAL NOVEMILA you expected Doug to do his homework before watching each film to give them due diligence?
@@Poever isn't that his freaking job? I say a year late.
Yeah that the problem with doing multiple reviews in one video.
Thank you! Like I guess he's never heard of steampunk? (And apparently neither has my autocorrect...) One of the only times I've been kind of like, Okay, Boomer. (Seriously, I think my mom understood it better than he did.)
@@dragongirl7978 it isn't steampunk.
In a steampunk setting all machinery works with steam. this is most likely teslapunk where machinery looks and works like Nikola Tesla's machines and solarpunk like you can see that the ships use solar power and solar winds to work.
We used to watch Fantasia every year in music class in school until they cancelled the class RIP. I’ve graduated now and honestly, Fantasia is great. I was always so fascinated by all the colours and creative imagery. It’s criminally underrated in my opinion
It's a real shame that we don't get hand drawn movies anymore.
we do, you're just too stupid to find them
Besides anime and some independent stuff, its practocally non existent
Not for long - 2022
Agreed should be a whole genre on a streaming service be better than half the crap shows there making rn
Yeah it’s sad
Anyone else getting really bothered by the overlaid of the of disneycember music with the non copyright one?
Raptorus77 Yeah I can't watch this either...
Yeah he couldn't just remove the copyright music and add the non copyright music?
Yes, it oversaturates the audio, creates dissonance, and makes it really exhausting to listen to this video :(
Agent Prime some of these were old as 2011, I doubt he still has the original audio recordings.
Too bad the channel would be removed if he used the original music. Can't win them all anymore.
I usually open a playlist of NC reviews while going to sleep. This video it's a perfect addition.
Most NC reviews: (loud angry screaming hilarious nonsense)
Ahh, so peaceful~
Glad I'm not the only one who can fall asleep to this. But hey, things like metallica and bunny and bear are lullaby music to me.
I also recently used it as my lullaby 😅
@@AbbyBubbls
Strangely enough I do that too. AVGN as well. Guess it's just comfy to have some riffs on a movie
ME TOO!
Studying?? What is that??
I think it's the perfect time for spending 3 and a half hours in something I have already watch many times.
Vicente Ortega Rubilar Exactly. I have an English final tomorrow,yet here I am.
Vicente Ortega Rubilar hah, right?? Got myself a Macroeconomics final tomorrow.
I watch em over and over
Yeah, I have to submit an important (pretty long) paper for college in a few days and have done almost nothing, but hey, let's watch this xD
Doug on Emperor's New Groove: "I really wish they just made a movie about the two villians."
The chances of that happening are....
*ONE IN A MILL-EEE-YUUN!*
By developing the prince in cinderella they would ve turned it into a damsel in distress but by focusing on cinderella and the mice they tell a story about a good hearted patient woman that got herself out of shit by her mice and fairy godmother (representations of her kindness and hope).
"JOANNA THOSE AREN'T YOUR EGGS!!! Those are MYYYYYY eggs!" 🤣🤣🤣 I love the Rescuers Down Under
I've noticed that films like Snow White and Pinocchio are the only ones that look the way they do.
The massive amount of detail in every single frame when a character is on screen is amazing. The shadow and light work, the details in their clothing is what I miss from Disney. Yes, we had the Renaissance era, but for vintage films in the 30's and 40's, that amount of work that went into them makes them stand out. I still have not seen a Disney film that looked like those two.
Hey I love Hercules. I actually love the songs and Hades is hilarious he was a cool villian.
I totally agree!^^
In my top 3 ❤️
My Greek friends actually enjoy it too.
I got it for 5 bucks off Amazon
When Disney makes Greek satan a chill dude
Some people have pointed out that it's not Ariel that's meant to learn a lesson, but the over-bearing father. At one point he destroys all her things just to try to teach her a lesson, and all it does is push her away to a whole other world!
Could’ve done without the added music but it’s nice to see a compilation of the disneycembers videos officially on the channel
I guess it’s so they don’t have to mute the segments that used the original music
Even in the wrong month, we must pay homage to our Mouse overlord.
Praise The Mouse, and when you die your soul will be aquired too!
Awsamazing Eden is this Communism?
K-Lue44 My life force is linked with 20th Century Fox. They've already aquired my soul
Jackson Roze Reviews no lie, I love disney, but mickey mouse sucks. he hasn't done anything in yrs
Awsamazing Eden amen
Edgar didn't want to get rid of the cats because he was allergic to them! He wanted to get rid of them because the money would go to him if they were gone!
Answer to why Phil Collins is in Tarzan and what he has to do with the jungle or Disney: one word...percussion! In musical terms, when you think jungle music, you think drums. Phil Collins is a MASTER being both the percussionist and second lead singer for Genesis. I think it works.
Rescuers Down Under was like a go-to movie for me whenever I didn't know what to watch. It has so much to offer, all the characters are on point, the visuals feel immersive and Wilbur was just so funny!
Edit: Yes. The cheetah. A very common sight on jungle islands, well known for its ability to climb trees and distinct roar.
I love the music in Pocahontas but that's about it tbh.
Also, Hunchback is my favorite Disney movie ever. Amazing music, visuals, villain, and for the most part characters. Worst part is the gargoyles tho... I'll take the same movie but with them just edited out. And about Quasimodo not getting the girl in the end I actually love that. You don't need love to be happy in life. He's accepted by the people, he has friends, he's happy, and he doesn't need love to achieve that in life. And then they kill it with the 2nd movie...
I miss hand drawn animated films. I mean we do get some 2D animated cartoons every once in a while, but most of them are made in Flash and it's just not the same as a hand-drawn animated film. And it completely makes me mad that a lot of the general public nowadays sees hand-drawn animated films as nothing more than kids material when there's clearly hand drawn animated films that try to appeal to everyone. I mean, I'm fine with CG 3D animated and all that jazz, but I think it should've been an addition to animation's repertoire, not a replacement. I've been just sitting here waiting for that one day where a glorious 2D animated film comes along and changes people's views against 2D hand-drawn animated films, ever since Princess and the Frog, and I dunno if it'll happen or not.
Jack The Lightning Ripper
I strongly agree
I did one of my college essays on this same topic, and you hit the nail straight on the head, op.
Jack The Lightning Ripper It is sad when people see hand drawn, they think mediocore. 😬
yeah i feel heck i even signed a peition to get a 2d animated film made by some of the disney greats it was called hullabaloo and it was a steampunk fantasy but sadly it didnt come to fruition
Jack The Lightning Ripper Its the same with stop motion animation too. Everyone loved Chicken Run when that first came out and it made a lot of money at the box office but stop motion animation these days is completely unrecognizable
Granted I'm very biased towards the Little Mermaid, because growing up she was and still kinda is my favorite (mostly because I wanted to be a mermaid). Personally I think all hate she gets is a bit odd. Whether it's 'she gave up her voice for a man' or 'she abandons her family and is selfish' or whatever she is still a heroine. She saves Eric's life TWICE before the climax. And I think if setting aside the kind of love at first sight trope (suspend your disbelief this is a world with mermaids we're talking about), she is willing to do anything for the person she loves, even defy her family (if that kind of determination for a love was put into a modern couple it would be admired). I think people are angry, because it's a woman "giving something up" for a man. But here's the thing, Eric isn't the one asking Ariel to subjugate her voice, it's Ursula, another woman. The same woman who than uses that voice against Ariel, a woman. And the really interesting thing is Eric falls in love with her without the voice, she's that charming, she has to be that dynamic without one of her key senses. Idk this is just my opinion, but I think you can find terrible messages or great messages to focus on in any story and what perspective you choose to take is fine, just don't shame other people who choose to focus on something else.
Or it could be because she endangers her entire family because of herself call it heroic she wanted to save a guy twice but in her interacting with Ursula ended endangering wayyy more people ironic seeing as how Eric needed saving because of Ariel doing what she did
@@Raddish-IS-Radd And yet it wasn't intentional and she did realize her mistake. Also, she was sixteen; how many good choices did you make at that time?
Also, her wanting to find a prince wasn't her first goal to begin with; it was being human WAY before she ever saw Eric. Ariel's Beginning proves that since she was fifteen at the time and started discovering human items and had been collecting them ever since.
With Doug's constant praise of Fantasia and Animaniacs, I'm surprised he's never said anything about _The Brain's Apprentice_
For a second I thought it was a brand new video until I saw Disneycember. I'm definitely putting this on to fall asleep to!!
Exactly what I am doing at three a.m. after a fun night out.
I guess the success of Who Framed Roger Rabbit is that people have always wanted to visit the land where all the tunes live. And this film allows you to do that; when Eddie and Roger drive into Toontown, it really feel as if you're entering that land. I mean, who didn't want to become friends with Winnie the Pooh, with Bugs Bunny, who didn't want to hang out with all these characters. And the atmosphere of this movie perfectly allows you to live through that experience.
Great , now I can watch the Disneycember handdrawn videos all together.😁👌
4 hours of Nostalgia Critic in 2 days.
Guess I’ll order some takeout.
It’s summertime, man. If I wanna loaf around, I will.
You know I always figured the Fairy’s in Sleeping Beauty were the real main characters since they’re the ones that do everything and the focus is largely on them trying to take care of Aurora and save her from her curse
Three and a half hours?????? This gunna be a wild ride
The part on Fantasia is just... Voilà. This is it. Your view on this film express exactly what I think of art. Art is EMOTIONS. You can master all the technics, all the tools. Yet, if you don't put yourself in, your emotions will never transpire and yes, some people will enjoy it, but, it will never live through the ages. Don't get me wrong. I like a good script, a beautiful image, a nice light and a good acting. But, like a good song, the best ingredient, and the to me, the essential one, it's Emotion. Fantasia is a strange product, ahead of its time. But it surely proves something. If we remember it today it's because of all the emotions we have watching it. And that, that is a good piece of art :)
"Mommy! That's scary as fuck!" 🤣🤣
Wow. I forgot how much I loved the line, "Well, there's a f*cking talking frog! I think we'll live."
I honostly enjoyed Hercules so much and Go The Distance is actually my favorite Disney song, it always got to me. It's interesting to see how others enjoyed the different Disney classics
I wish it stuck more to the mythology though.
It may be because I’m Australian but Rescuers Down Under was definitely more well known here :) Crucial part of my childhood! Joanna the Goanna!!!
It made me happy to hear about the Rescuers Down Under's positiveness. I love this movie and its nice to see someone talking about it. :D
I've watched this so many times, I can put it on at work for white noise. Where at any moment I can tune in at any moment and know where we are in the video
I loved the rescuers down under as a kid and i still watch it now and then on my own. I'm so happy that I'm not just the only one who thinks that it's amazing.
Perfect to throw on in the background at work! Lots of long videos from NC this week, which I am ALL for!
How does everyone forget The Rescuers Down Under? It's a fun-filled, adrenaline packed thriller!
The best moment of Peter Pan is when Hook gets skipped across the water and he's all Sme-e--ee! I lose it every time!
The Rescuers: Down Under is the one I grew up with. I didn't even know there was one before it when I was a kid. And seeing the animation now, it looks even better than I remember.
Also, late 80s to early 2000s is the best Disney era in my opinion.
Christmas in _almost_ July?
Its Phineas and Ferb all over again...
Remember his meme in Silvagunner a while back? What if they do another crossover?
Just imagine how over the top NC's yell could be in the Christmas Comback.
There is Christmas stuff on display now at a store near me. Never too early, I guess?
It's a re-upload
Just saying about Pocahontas, I think only the back ground is more historically accurate then anything, and them looking for gold as soon as they arrive is pretty true
The music is too loud
Dillon Ohlemiller I’m assuming copyright issues
I say Not loud enough, Turn it up louder!
That would also turn the talking down
@@cloudlion1610 I just threw on auto generated subtitles and turned it down a bit, cause critic still has voice you can hear on a lower setting lol. Js.
With the Rescuers, I did enjoy the music score. It was soothing and made you feel emotional to a degree. The artwork at times was gorgeous.
The lionesses still think Simba killed Mufasa, so of course they would not support him when Scar was calling him out. Would you support a murderer? Plus they in general are still in shock and it gives Simba further to fall and makes the moment when he finally defeats Scar all the more satisfying.
His reasons for not liking Lion King make absolutely no sense.
Plus when he didn’t understand why the pride land was restored?? It’s because the balance was restored because they hyenas weren’t over hunting the land anymore and that was literally explained in the movie lol. That was just a bad take but hey people are allowed to dislike or criticize whatever they want 🤷🏾♀️
@@Idolfan96 And plus, who ever said it took place over one day? Clearly some time has passed and it's sort of symbolic in a way. Also, how DARE he hate Hakuna Matata and I Just Can't Wait to Be King! 😱😱😱
The lionesses thought that tiny ass cub Simba straight up killed Mufasa, and were willing to let grown Simba die even though he was their only chance of restoring the pride lands? Are you insane?
Are you the type of person to argue against prison reform because prison should be used as a punishment instead of a chance for rehabilitation? Are you the type of person to argue against euthanasia because if someone is suffering on their deathbed it served them right for smoking?
No. This makes no sense. The lioness had no logical reason to turn on Simba like that.
His problem is that it didn't fit with the message of the film.
Which was don't run from your past, learn from it.
He goes back to face it and everything goes downhill.
@@elzar5987 Because Scar was trying to turn everyone against him; how is that Simba's fault? It'd be like blaming Cinderella for not only her parents dying, but everything that came after.
Mulan, I actually think the villain is really underrated... like yes he looks like a big brute but,
1 he is resourceful and smart; he never actually in the movies dose any bad plans he gets defeated but unconventional things, and he surrounded himself in trackers and other men of skill to make up for those he lacks.
2 he looks cool... I really love his pale skin with those eyes.
3 if you think about it he is actually stumbling over tiny plot details by mistake that makes the story look better but most kids would miss..and that's what he never state Mulans gender in any negative light becuase he is a hun, not chines. his culture may be more "primitive" but he values Mulans skill rather them her gender while the chines in a real non-Disney setting would have executed her after she saves the emperor for treason.
4 he is usually low on peoples list becuase he isn't a manipulating old lady but a general that almost succeeds his goal closer them most villains before him against stacked odds...he with ca 5 huns captured and almost executed the emperor after being hit by an avalanche wiping out most of his hoard.
now I see why he isn't one of the great villains but I think he is not as bad as people usually think i and I think in a remake or something in that style they could make him better, like i never can rember his real name, and the only reason i do rember him is becuase he is the 1 hun in the entire movie with fouces.
the only cool line he has I guess I can remember is; who many men is requerd to deliver a messege. which a soldier answers; just one.
Oliver and Company has one of my favorite movie lines of all time, "Isn't it rather dangerous to use one's entire vocabulary in a single sentence."
Wait I love that movie! I forget though, who says that?
@@sunscreen193 I love it as well! It's Francis (Francis, not Frank, or Frankie, Francis). I think he's a type of bull dog. The one who watches Shakespeare on the t.v.
@@maggieplummer2950 oh! ok thanks! I thought it was him but I wasn't sure!
@@sunscreen193 no problem!
Man now I really want to watch that movie again!
@@maggieplummer2950 me too! :-)
Glad you did this full upload. Disneycember was how I first got into your videos.

Hercules spoke to me, because I felt like outcast too.
I was and am the first child in my family, but I felt like no one cared about me, because I have Aspergers.
I lovelove that movie, still.
Very nostalgic to see these hand drawn movies. They have so much heart to their animation. That said, I love the newer Disney animated movies (some more than others). Sad to know that hand drawn animated films aren't appearing anymore.
But... it’s June
Re upload
It’s December somewhere.
Jack Casey I don’t think that’s how it works...
@BallChinian you just don’t have enough holiday spirit.
BallChinian exactly
Thanks for these compilations. It makes it easy to rewatch all these videos. I like your commentary way more than the skits.
This is always interesting for me to watch because I, legitimately, did not grow up with disney. My disney was Jim Henson, with a couple ghibli movies in the mix, it was just my parents' tastes and we didn't have cable so they showed me what they liked I could watch. So when I went to my friends' houses and watched the classic disney movies I didn't go in expecting to love it, but sometimes did. Lilo and Stitch I loved, Pinocchio I remember really liking as well as scaring me and The Lion King was probably my favourite as a kid out of the say seven classic disney movies I actually watched and remembered. Looking at disney critically without the nostalgia goggles is a bit surreal, but also intriguing. I saw Hunchback/because/ of how much Critic praised it and sure enough loved it. Why do I share this? Because without the nostalgia, disney does still absolutely deserve to be recognized as the classic they are, which I owe the honesty to admit I can see looking in from the outside
i must disagree about the nonsensical assessment of the the Lion King. I think it was a story about facing your fears and no running from it, being brave, and taking responsibility in your life (even if it turned out he didn't do the things he thought he did; the point was that he was facing his fears and it was something he feared). And then part ii, even when he did get the courage to go back, the lesson is that the right thing to do is not always the easiest and u might encounter opposition. Sometimes you must be brave and have faith that what u are doing is right and maybe not popular. And then finally at the end, maybe part iii lesson is that life can be ironic and you never know what will happen, so never give up. Sometimes u have do what's right and hope for the best, and in this Disney story, Simba was rewarded. The End.
RIP All hand drawn films.
Treasure Planet blew my mind as a kid. Still one of my favorite movies.
You know what I needed in these classic Disneycember videos? Public domain awkwardly plastered over it.
Yeah.
You can tell when critic hit his teenage years and up.. all the movies became meh and half the time the synopsis aren't even accurate making me wonder if he did actually watch them. I think Princess and the frog one bothers me the most, the plot line is sooo simple. Granted I've seen it a million times thanks to my daughter who loves it.. but even the first time I watched it I understood it easily.
I mean it's explained through the movie pretty clearly. the Voodoo doctor get his powers from 'his friends on the other side' It's similar to most tales of power from a dark source.. there is always a price it's never free. Naveen is already there to find a rich bride since his parents cut him off for being a 'playboy' This opened up the doctors chance of seizing control since Charlotte was already expecting to meet him and it's made pretty clear that her father is a plantation owner so he's rich as hell but seems to have power in New Orleans.
To do this he needs someone he can manipulate, thus the servant who's resentful. He gets a voodoo talisman which as long as it has the princes blood will give the servant the appearance of the prince. Pretty simple scheme similar to Jefars in Aladdin. The servant marries Charlotte, Daddy gets whacked so 'prince' takes over as head of the family.. Doctor whacks the impostor prince after being named head of the family fortune and he now has the power over the city and can hand it over to the dark 'demons' of the other side of voodoo as promised in his deal.
The princess thing is because he's appointed king of mardi gras but it's a temporary title which only lasts until midnight of the final night of the celebration. after that he's stripped until next year. Yeah it's a weak loop hole to the story but it's not hard to understand.
It really isn't that complicated of a story line.. it really isn't. It just takes a little common sense.
That's like the comment on the Aristocats being "the butler is mad because he's going to inherit the cats"... no, he's pissed because the cats are going to inherit all the old lady's money, and he'll be stuck taking care of them until they die... So he decided to just kill them, and the movie is basically the cats trying to get home and expecting him to be happy, because they don't know he was the one who tried to kill them.
@@Whyteroze28 I completely agree. While I do agree that Edgar isn't one of the best Disney villains, at the same time, there was more to the story and his motivations. Although, it's not like he was being kicked out and could still take care of the cats.
I completely agree. I've always been able to follow the plot from beginning to end, even with a new direction, a.k.a. the princess part/ending. I'm positive that Nostalgia Critic did watch the movies--you can't go into detail if you didn't--but it does seem like he was either being too critical or wasn't paying attention.
Oh Hand-drawn Disney, Princess and the frog was a good sendoff, but you almost made back in with Moana, but you couldn't do that........RIP Hand-Drawn Disney
MisterSureShot if they brought it back, I would watch just for the art style. I would barely even care what the movie is about.
MisterSureShot Actually. Winnie the Pooh was the last official handrawn Disney movie in the lineup
at least we still have television we can watch Gravity Falls Phineas and Ferb, and Milo Murphy's Law.
That show sucks
icecream hero in your opinion. It's generally well liked.
I’m really glad I grew up with these movies
Perfect binge material! Thank you very much Channel Awesome!
By far Hunchback of Notre Dame is the most human film Disney made in their hand drawn days. Beauty in the Beast is amazing but it isn't as human and complex as Hunchback.
But also the gargoyles BOOOOOOOOOOO
iM LoSiNg tO A bIrD
iM LoSiNg tO A bIrD!
That was great....I remember the summer that came out in the theater and I was surprised how good it was.....
Excuse me, where is Toy Story?
just kidding i'm not an idiot
Paul Hui
did you click read more?
Frederick Alesna, is the "just kidding i'm not an idiot" because of the fact that its not hand drawn, or because its made by pixar, or both? Just wondering
Seanluke Salinas wow I didn't even think about the Pixar thing... uh I mean both. definitely both. I'm definitely smart enough to think of two reasons.
Wow. You all can't even take a joke without out taking it seriously. (Nice joke by the way)
Paul Hui r/woooosh
I remember watching Hunchback of Notre Dame in the theater and the cathedral was inspiring but that song Hellfire holy crap it was memorable and freaking awesome.
This was actually a nice treat while I cleaned the house!
Ah, the issue is the music, the music itself is nice, but layered over the other videos muddles the audio quite a bit, I realize there isn't much you can do at this point and its still enjoyable, it just could be more enjoyable without it
I was wondering why he put in different music than before. But then I figured it was because of copyright. Still a great idea to put all these together though. :)
What's even weird... if you listen closely you can hear the original music
Treasure Planet is an extremely underrated movie, and I feel like this review really didn't do it justice. He didn't talk about the animation style AT ALL, which at least for me is one of the highlights of the movie, and was actually incredibly groundbreaking. It mixed 2D hand-drawn animation with CGI and the Deep Canvas animation used in Tarzan, and I've always thought it melds together beautifully. I really expected a bigger reaction over the solar-surfing scene, but all we got are snide comments about how relatable Jim is. Also, the look of the movie is supposed to be steampunk, which is the same mix of 19th-century and futuristic styles that he complains about. Lastly, Treasure Planet was actually the passion project of two of Disney's top animators, who had to ask execs repeatedly before they actually got it greenlit, and then there was almost no effort to advertise it, so Disney basically killed it before it had a chance to get popular with audiences. Honestly I think quite a few of the reviews in this video would have benefited from a bit of research about the film's history and production, because I think some of his issues with the movies come from a lack of background knowledge. Anyway, Treasure Planet is an amazing movie and I'll fight anyone who says otherwise.
I haven't seen the movie but I still agree with your comment. You can't criticize/bash something without doing your research.
I totally agree with the statements made in the Rescuers Down Under segment. There's a reason that's still one of my all-time favorite Disney movies.
You're being WAY too critical of The Princess and The Frog.
What an oddly specific compilation you got there, Doug.
Thank you, finally someone who appreciated Fantasia! I love both movies.^^ You can just dream while watching the beautiful animation.
The Mongol did have this line about the emperor invited him by building the wall, implying he took it as a challenge, always liked that one
One of the best parts about Disneycember is rewatching the old videos, comparing them to the full reviews of these movies, and seeing how much his opinion has changed and how he's grown as a critic. I'd especially love to see him review Treasure Planet, with newfoudn knowledge of what steampunk is. Just that alone, plus his expertise on camera work, directing, color theory, animation in general, would clear up a good number of the problems he may have had. I'd also highly recommend the BREADSWORD video essay to Doug and anyone else interested.
Hey nostalgia critic. U got the premise to Aristocats slightly wrong. The cats were getting the old ladies inheritance and not the butler. That's why he wanted to get rid of them. Sorry, I'm a nerd I guess. Lol😅
"The fact its 3D animation makes adults think it;'s going to be made for them too."
I'm bothered by the prospect of this being a real perseption people have.
These videos are the gifts that keep on giving.
As a Timon and Pumba villain said one of the shows episodes said: “but...it’s the middle of June” lol
All seriousness though really appreciate you guys doing this. As a writer myself it’s a huge help to focus and create ideas and just go back in time to when stuff made sense
1:29 I loved Oliver and company because of the songs mostly.
Odd time for this, but I have 3 to 4 hours to kill.
My favorite Disney movies are Hercules and the reason why Hercules? It has a great message. Just because your dreams seem out of reach? Doesn’t mean it can’t happen. Which line is (giving up is for rookies)You can reach your dreams as long as you don’t give up on them. and princess and the frog I love how she says you can dream upon a Star but you also have to put work into that wish to make it happen.

3 hours? My dreams have become a reality. Thanks Channel Awesome!
Winnie the Pooh (2011) is honestly one of my favorite movies ever, it just reminds me so much of my childhood
Now that you mention it, I never questioned why there's a humanoid cat and fox, or why boys turn into donkeys. Something I think a lot of people don't know is that Walt Disney's goal with his movies were to be art that can be enjoyed by anyone. They're not really meant to be just for kids or complex storytelling. The reason the princes didn't get much screentime were because the animators had a hard time animating realistic men.
The thing with films like Make Mine Music and Fun and Fancy Free is that they were made during World War 2 which made it hard for the company to make full length stories so the way they got around that is by making multiple shorts and placing them into one feature length sequence. And specifically for Fun and Fancy Free, Bongo and Mickey and the Beanstalk were originally supposed to be full length films of their own but again WW2 so they just made abbreviated versions of both.
The black cauldron is based off a novel series by Lloyd Alexander which the series in my opinion is amazing and I enjoyed reading it in middle school junior high. Just wish Disney had held up the ideals of the book and it probably would of been better.
I love a lot of these, but to me now so much of the early era comes across as insanely plot-deficient, and I remember thinking so about quite a few of these even as a kid. Snow White, Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty all have memorable moments, but each of them too often comes across as a tech demo for Rotoscoping. "Look, a lady dancing! And a horse trotting! What else are we gonna do with Rotoscope? I dunno, let's do those same scenes like 20 times, what else does anybody need? Oh I know, throw in some birds that talk to the girls, and boom: fairy tale." I actually like the Fleischer Studio's Betty Boop as Cinderella much more than Disney's version (and they actually do more interesting technical stuff in that with physical diorama-type sets).
Aside from Fantasia, I don't think there's actually a good (not "important," "good") Disney movie before Alice in Wonderland (since Fantasia is a collection of shorts, not a three-act movie, I don't really consider it in the same category, even if it is a masterpiece aside from Sunflower's fucked-up blackface appearance). And the sketchy-line era does look trashy here and there, but I think quite a few of those like Dalmatians, Jungle Book, and Robin Hood make the filthy linework an endearing part of the aesthetic, but maybe that's just my nostalgia talking. And no, I couldn't do any better, but cartoons have come a long way since the 60s and 70s and I don't think it's bad to admit that some standards have been raised a bit (especially regarding story in the post-Pixar era). Even with the lower-quality Disney movies though, you're still dealing with almost unparalleled character design that makes each of them live in our imaginations forever, even if their canonical stories are the least interesting thing about them.
I like the point you bring up about looking at movies for what they are instead of based on what you want them to be. Too many people today criticize movies based on a secret and impossible wishlist they have instead of on the components of the movie. This would be like grading a student's work based on how differently they write than little Becky, or based on how much better Little Johnny is at explaining his knowledge.
I love this compilation- just _having_ these films laid out back to back in sequential order is great. That said, it shines a conspicuous light on CA's critiques. I found myself trying to figure out what he even _likes_ about Disney films. He seems to find as much to _dislike_ in virtually every film as to like, and there's so much, and so many films that he just seems disappointed with. As he is so fond of saying though, it _is VERY_ entertaining. :D
Isn't Treasure Planet set in like an alternate reality, with like a steam punk type aesthetic? That's how I always thought of it at least? If the Treasure Planet setting is confusing, I'm the Critic would not enjoy Leviathan by Scott Westerfeld.
*Yesterday*: Fox Kids - Nostalgia Critic is the longest Nostalgia Critic video so far.
*Today*: All the Hand-Drawn Films - Disneycember Hold my beer.
1.Bit of trivia: Dopey was going to be the original Sorcerer's Apprentice, hence why Mickey's red robe acts like his green one.
2.As beautiful as Bambi was, one thing that bothered me regarding the whole "Man-bad!-Man-evil!-Man-ruin-EVERYTHING!" angle is that it's a forest with no mountain lions, no wolves, and no bears. Why is a deer the Prince of the Forest? And who's the King?
After many many years I saw the Disney classic Animation movies again, starting with Aladdin, followed by Lion King . And while I love Aladdin, Jesus Christ did I get the chills when Lion King started its engines.. It's so big and beautiful. There is so much Nostalgia pulsing through this Gorilla of a Movie. I just adore it. Never again was I captured by a movie that much.
