In some respects, I don't think Escape From Tomorrow was even necessarily about Disney at all. It's about a guy who comes to terms with the fact that he cares about his daughter way more than his son, no longer has a connection to his job, and doesn't find his wife attractive anymore. Instead of showing maturity and owning up to this, he scapegoats Disney (who aren't really responsible for anything he accuses them of), and feels better lashing out at "mindless brainwashing corporate sheeple," because it makes him feel more self-confident, instead of realizing that this problem probably predates the trip, and that he's been feeling this way for years beforehand. In the hands of a more talented director, this could have been a really compelling film. And I hope eventually someone else takes the same basic concept and redoes it, because so many people can relate to saving up for an expensive trip and having life refuse to allow you to be happy while you're there. The last time I went to Disney World, my family fought constantly with each other. I can relate.
Tony, this is why I watch your videos. Even if the director of this film and you had the same technology, you have an eye for timing, comedy, and storytelling he lacks. You can do a lot with a simple camera and editing software, but a good eye needs to be trained. Plus, your cynicism comes with heart, where he was just downright nihilistic.
The bit at the end actually reminds me of something Jean Cocteau said: "Film will only become an art when its materials are as inexpensive as pencil and paper."
+Wintermute01001 I believe Ven quoted that in the vicinity of Kyle (maybe not Tony) just last year. Of course, he sang "ink and pen", probably for scansion reasons, and Tony definitely said "they weren't using ink" at one point...
FalconPain
Yeah, that's what I was thinking of. :)
I wish, otherwise, animation would still be a valuable art form.
Over eight years later, and that outro still gives me chills. You don't usually expect an TH-cam comedic review vid to end so unusually beautifully, to the point that it even gets me a bit misty eyed sometimes.
I love how the guy who played the 'gatekeeper' in the movie was, in a way, the 'gatekeeper to the answers' in this review.
Zack Reichgut it’s the greatest symbolism ever!
@@ihvojd
Definitely up there.
Not to mention that they could've depicted the hug in a whole different direction. The character could've been fired for hugging her for so long in the first place since a lot of overprotective/overreacting parents see hugs as sexual and therefore would mistaken a costumed employee for a pedophile. They could've explored that instead. But nope, 'hug of death' it is.
+The Cartoon Physicist's Noughtie List
You probably COULD kill someone with a hug, but my guess is that it involves at least 2 of the following things:
More muscle than a 20-30 year old woman who isn't a dedicated bodybuilder would have (especially when she's basically working as a model),
Intent to kill - which she probably didn't have,
A girl with bones or a body so fragile that their parents wouldn't have taken her to jostling-park central Disneyworld, much less let a woman hug her (admittedly, I could be wrong considering the make-a-wish foundation, but I'm pretty sure Disney trains their employees to handle those kids with special care)
Funny that they didn't go that route because there's a lot of perverted stuff in this movie already, this Randy Moore guy is about as well informed as Donald Trump
I was thinking _the same thing._ Heck, I've read that Disney-character actors/actresses (mostly the princesses) are more likely to be _victims_ of sexual harassment from _the guests._
@@rogue7723 One of my coworkers used to be a Disney princess, specifically Ariel. She said the little girls would love pictures with her, but there was always that one creepy father who didn't know about social cues.
Good thing, though, is she said the princesses always had handlers/guards who would watch out for the creeps.
In some medias, there does exist the old "hug of death" but that happens more in shows like Overlord than it should in Disneyworld.
Man, that ending (the video not the movie) nearly got me to cry.
Bravo, Mr. Goldmark.
Bravo.
+Zice033 oh good I wasn't the only one
I really love how the sadness of the ending didn't come from how he shot it. Out of context, that montage could have been the butt of a joke. It could have been laughable. But Tony's words juxtaposed with that montage is what really makes it as heartbreaking as it is.
I too felt emotions of Tony returning.
This is the most artistic middle finger to cynicism I have ever seen. It beautifully illustrated this by Jerk realizing throwing it in the ocean isn’t worth the value and firmly standing in Disneyland as the garbage man passes by.
I mean, the movie's ending could also make you cry, just for the wrong reason.
That ending speech.
That
Ending
Speech
I need that isolated to watch whenever I need motivation.
"And that's the tradgedy of all this..."
The epilogue to this review couldn't have been more poetic. Happiness is a human construct. It's what keeps us living our lives. And whether or not you care about Disney, Escape from Tomorrow has less to do with Disney and more to do with humanity. Even though it thinks it's referring to Disney, in reality, the only true escape is that from the future. No matter how bleak tomorrow may seem, as long as we keep living the best we can, it won't matter.
Deep dude
Well said man, well said!
"Zip-pe-Dee-dada" is one of those jokes I treasure within myself forever because it always makes me smile
Ya know Tony, when I saw Jerk get into the car and drive up that road I knew where the destination was. I KNEW where the ending was heading to and it simply didn't matter. I STILL got shivers of joy up my spine when I saw the car pull into that lot. You know why that is? Because the ending to this video is everything the makers of Escape from tomorrow despise. To their jaded, cynical minds, when they watch this while they inevitably decide to monetise your work, they will interpret this ending as a ''grown ass man'' giving up. Refusing to embrace their tin foil hat ''warning'', giving up on ''maturity, reality and normality'' and instead choosing what they see as the ''easy way out.'' To become what the internet would so ''graciously'' refer to as a ''Beta male, neck bearded man child who refuses to grow up and be an adult.'' Who, like that morbidly obese middle aged, mobility scooter bound man with the neck brace who in this film they just love to blame for all the problems in the world, latches on to Disney, escapism and everything else their movie spits on to cover up non-existent ''shortcomings'' and ''failings'' in life, (because no one EVER enjoys these things out of a sense of actual fuckin enjoyment, right?) and has willingly chosen to cover his ears to all those VITALLY important lectures about ''target demographics'' so he can blatantly refuse to fulfil society's ''needs'' and instead become what Simon Pegg once called ''Infantilized.''
Those kinds of people who think that way, who look down on everyone else because their interests and hobbies aren't their close minded version of ''normal'' because they don't directly tie into improving their social status, sex life or finances have my pity for the shallow, empty lives they must lead. Sure, on some videos their comments might get a majority of thumbs up by a handful of brain dead assholes who believe them but what does that really amount to? Nothing really. There are people like the director of this poor excuse for a film who think they're getting an ''important'' message out to the masses. Then there are those who are so obsessed with the preservation of these meaningless and downright archaic social norms/gender and age roles as well as making sure no body can enjoy ANYTHING outside of their assigned age or gender, that they will bully, harass and shame those who do until they just blindly accept the status quo out of fear of more suffering. Both sides of that jaded, inner childless coin have their fans who will blindly hang on every word they say and believe that they can never be wrong. I know that this is merely a character of yours that I'm looking at, but that heartfelt speech that character made right before he chose to ''go off the cliff'' left me with such a warm feeling inside that in all honesty, I didn't care. It's right. Every word of it is correct. Escapism, Disney, fantasy. There's nothing ''evil'' or ''sinister'' about any of it. At the same time this message could even be applied to stuff like nerd culture, where the people in that corner of society, the cosplayers, toy collectors, whovians, trekkies, etc have the harsh stigma that they are ''pathetic'' for having these interests. That they are nothing more than ''virgins'' living in their ''mother's basements'' who's only chance at living a truly ''happy'' life is to give up on individuality. to give society what it wants to see, give up all your interests and the stuff that goes with them, ''get laid'' and ''move on.'' Because they've seen enough episodes of ''Big Bang Theory'' to know that any adult who has the nerve to have an interest in toys or comics is just a ''loser'' who takes ''toys out of the hands of children'' even though there's clearly enough to go round in most cases. (The recent SNL Star Wars skit is a crock of shit in that regard.) In reality, they're the ones with the shitty lives and they just want to shame and take it out on everyone else so that they can be seen as ''social heroes'' for a change. Randy Moore is one of those people, only his ''cringe'' isn't bronycon or people who happen to be into steam locomotives. No, his target is Disney because it was wrecked for him at a young age and now he's lashing out. That is why this movie exists.
It's also why, Tony, I'm glad people like you exist. You have no shame when it comes to your interests because there's no shame that needs to be had. You have a genuine love of Disneyland and Disney in general that is admirable to say the least. And ever since I first saw your videos on blip, I have had nothing but respect for you. You know how important escapism is, you fully and happily embrace it without hesitation and see movies like Escape from Tomorrow for what they really are. Bull Shit. You encourage people to hang on to their childhood to the healthiest degree. Have no kids? Go to Disney parks anyway. Embrace all of your ''weird'' and ''socially abnormal'' interests, enjoy shows and things below your age group and just enjoy life instead of caring about what others think. People like you deserve all the respect you get. Why? Because you're right. So when I see this video and I look at that ending, I don't see what Randy Moore and his yes men are going to see. I see your character, The Jerk, exorcising his own doubts, accepting his love for the things he enjoys and finally returning to a place he thought he would never return to. the Jerk started out this review by trying to convince himself that the ''enemy of my enemy is my friend.'' By the end however, he wouldn't even give the enemy of his former enemy the undeserved dignity of being dramatically thrown into the ocean. By the end, it felt like he had finally come back home to make peace with an old friend and restart his relationship with them. Because ''real men'' need not be ashamed of what they feel a connection towards, just as long as it's legal and isn't hurting themselves or anyone else.
With all that said Mr. Goldmark, I'd just like to say thank you. Thank you so much for making this review, thank you so much for simply being who you choose to be and as an additional note, Happy Chanukah. :)
........I like trains.
+Tony Goldmark so did you counter the Claim?
Honestly, I don't make enough money off TH-cam views for it to make a difference. As long as the video is still viewable worldwide, I'm fine with it.
+georgemiser +Tony Goldmark What he said. No seriously, pretty much my thoughts but said far better. I will say that ending was so beautiful the way it was shot, edited, and acted I was crying by the end of it. It's been a long Christmas day and this was the best way to top it off. :')
+georgemiser
You know, I may not agree with much of what he dedicated his life to, but Mr. C.S. Lewis certainly churned out some brilliant nuggets of wisdom.
“Critics who treat "adult" as a term of approval, instead of as a merely descriptive term, cannot be adult themselves. To be concerned about being grown up, to admire the grown up because it is grown up, to blush at the suspicion of being childish; these things are the marks of childhood and adolescence. And in childhood and adolescence they are, in moderation, healthy symptoms. Young things ought to want to grow. But to carry on into middle life or even into early manhood this concern about being adult is a mark of really arrested development. When I was ten, I read fairy tales in secret and would have been ashamed if I had been found doing so. Now that I am fifty I read them openly. When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up.”
In my opinion. SJWAC is one of the best reviewers i've ever seen. He pours more heart and thought into every episode than nearly every modern Nostalgia Critic video ever could. Well done man. You certainly deserve it.
+MegaSOSbrigade Thumb up because I agree that he does but not for the comparison.
+Anthony Clay (Steel Accord) I knew I was going to annoy someone in the Nostalgia Critic comparison.
I don't watch a lot of Reviewers on TH-cam and I'e only seen two or three actual Nostalgia Critic reviewers and didn't like them too much so i'm not exactly an expert on the subject. I just love SJWAC since discovering him a while ago and I think he deserves every Fan that comes his way and his reviews are great.
MegaSOSbrigade Exactly. The conclusion and epilogue in total took over half of this part of the review. After talking with the great Trevor McCune he spends the rest of the review summing up why Disney couldn't care less about the film's existance, how badly they failed at what it set out to do, why the excuse of it being Postmodern doesn't work, (at one point, on a ferris wheel, lol) the lack of character development, why they failed to antagonize Disney, why the concept of this film appeals to him, and the true meaning of happiness. Doug Walker can wrap up his reviews however he wants, but Tony's content appeals to me because of how much effort he puts into it. The clever writing, the humor, and even the heartwarming portions invokes more emotion than many other critics. He knows that he doesn't need style over substance. I hope that does not change anytime soon.
Honestly the child actors did very well, especially considering they were going off of a script full of boring nonsense while in DISNEY.
To quote Scott the Woz: “It’s like eating the perfect steak off of the shower floor.”
You know this whole shit started for the director because his parents divorced and his dad always took him to Disney when he came over to make him feel better... no, really, the guy outright admitted that. So this sack of crap of a film only happened because the director has Daddy issues. COME SEE HIS MOVIE!
Standard insult to the director/asshat asside, another great review Tony, back in Disney in the end... what will this lead into? Lord knows, but i'll be there to watch dude. XD Keep it up!
James Carlson honestly that explains too much
I get the feeling his happy memories of Disney have somehow been tainted by his daddy issues and now they're sad, frustrating, bitter, or some combination of the three. If only there was a movie that could help him come to terms with how normal and natural it is for a person's memories to change and evolve over time, eventually prompting different emotional responses than they did in their childhoods. Maybe an animated movie where five comedy stars play the roles of a child's emotions and have to work together to keep the child from losing themself...
“Better throw it into the deepest recess of the Disney Vault, in between Song of the South and The Sweat Box”
Gets me every time
“Very good. Keep that in mind when you’re saying your lines.”
The words of a man who had no idea what he was doing and when the actor just suggests something to try to make sense of it, he just went with it.
Let's be honest: Gary in the sex scene would not have made this movie any worse.
+Hyrule Swordsman 94 “Tim O'Connor” It prob would have made it tolerable
This video is the entire reason I know On a Real Good Day by Robbie Fulks exists. Almost nobody on youtbube seems to be looking for it, but damn if it doesn't hit hard. It reads like an anthem for chronic depression and it's goddamned beautiful.
All of Robbie's stuff is amazing and highly recommended, he is woefully underrated.
Good on you for actually talking to two of the actors from this sham of an outrage of a travesty of a mockery of an atrocity of a cataclysm of a disaster of two mockeries of a sham. Not many critics actually go the extra mile to contact the people behind the objects of their anger. Also, the stuff that Randy Moore said in 19:01 about individual minds creating their own realities and plural realities existing simultaneously actually kind of explains all of this. Jim constructs his own hell on earth out of his fears of the future from being unemployed, hence the title "Escape from Tomorrow." His paranoid delusions interact with all the paranoid delusions of everyone else he encounters until they all fuse together into a big ball of neurosis that destroys reality as we know it. That is why nothing in this movie is logical or pleasant. Likewise, Randy Moore has created a reality in which he is a good filmmaker who got that idea across instead of just making soft core porn for people who hate themselves.
Soft Core Porn For People Who Hate Themselves is my Dashboard Confessional cover band.
So you mean this film actually is that dishonest ?!
+Dylan Nicholson not dishonest at all. Merely inept.
+Gregory Bogosian Okay then
You should check out my Blind Guardian cover band: "The Renaissance Fair Renegades."
28:53 That sounds like the literal polar opposite of Holden Caufield's motivations in Catcher in the Rye! Instead of wanting to preserve childrens' innocence and halting them from jumping off a metaphorical cliff that leads to the grim real world, Moore thinks that the cliff is childhood innocence and he wants to keep us in grim reality. I'm not the only one who sees this, right?
+hankmillenium2000 Interesting. Does that mean my review will bring John Lennon back from the dead?
Tony Goldmark I still don't get how one can link Catcher in the Rye to their lust to kill John Lenon. Just saying, Holden rarely ever threw so much as a slap, if at all.
+hankmillenium2000 I thought he was just comparing Disney fans to lemmings jumping off cliffs (a stereotype created by an old Disney nature documentary, ironically enough).
ToruKun1 He was, but the point of the reference was where I made my comparison.
Any time I think of this movie I think of a panel in a Sonic comic that says "No Fun Allowed".
I have to say, Trevor McCune was underutilized in that movie. He was great in this review. I hope he gets more and better work.
I think he's cute, his girlfriend is a lucky gal.
You got me all teary-eyed there at the end, Tony. I wish I could meet you in person someday and shake your hand. As an Ohioan I understand that that's pretty difficult, but maybe you'd consider coming up for Youmacon, or Ohayocon some year in the future? I've already met Doug, Louis, Nash, Hope, Martin Billany and the entire Team Four Star and 1Kids Entertainment crew. You're one of the only ones left on my bucket-list of folks I'd love to meet and thank in person for your contributions to this strange digital realm.
+SuperSonic68 Well thanks! Unfortunately I have no immediate plans to visit Ohio, but never say never.
Tony Goldmark Maybe I'll see you when I visit Disney World, or Universal someday. That is where you live, after all, right?
I mean, you don't actually live in a... house, right? That'd just be silly.
"You just saw one of the worst movies ever."
"What are you going to do next Jerk?"
It seems that everyone saw that ending coming a mile away, but yet, it gives so much more power and joy that a twist ending that no one saw coming that makes no sense, and just makes you feel confused and upset.
Great parallel to the movie
What really gets me about this movie is its special brand of manufactured elitism. It’s all just projection; Randy Moore had a rough relationship with his father and now associates Disney World with these feelings, and instead of processing them in a healthy way or seeking help, he decides to make a feature length film to fuel his own superiority complex. He sees himself as intellectually superior to everyone else, but in reality he’s just some guy with a camera who can’t handle the fact that millions of people he doesn’t know find happiness in a place he can’t. Just like the film itself, Randy tries to hide this underlying projection under a front of artistic nonsense, and I see right through it.
The thing is, I don't even thinks he sees himself as superior to everyone else. I think he specifically sees himself superior to DISNEY WORLD and everyone in it. And he thinks there's a whole audience of people who also see themselves as superior who'll naturally key in to whatever tone he's going for. For someone so supposedly high-minded, his movie's almost perversely low-key and, dare I say it, even mumblecore-y. And the combination of the director's pretentiousness, the park scenes' matter-of-factly dullness and the bonkers bullshit of the shoehorned sci-fi elements just do not work AT ALL.
wouldn’t be surprised if the movie was just a giant fuck you to his own dad the whole time
Man, that speech. Easily a top 5 Jerk moment.
Much applause.
The entire second half of this video was so beautiful. My God, that beach monologue...that's one of my favorite scenes from any TH-cam video I've ever seen. I teared up like five times. Tony, this is your masterpiece and don't forget it. I know I won't.
"So I'd say: oh, well, it's post-modern, and they'd just stop asking questions."
I cannot even put into enough words the amount of rage I am feeling at this asshole director's quote. It's not just using the term "post-modern" to explain away his nonsense bullshit, but using this excuse to take control away from his audience by having them stop asking questions about his piece of shit art. You're doing something wrong when you don't want people to question your art.
Other than that, this was a fantastic wonderful amazing review and I'm glad you're back in Disneyland.
+laurariddle292
As an ametur writer trying to get better, that one line really annoys me. PUT IN EFFORT DAMN IT! You can't just say something that has no meaning without proper context and expect to just get a pass. This isn't first grade!
+laurariddle292 to be fair, i read all the text on the screen and it looks like the highlighted quote is taken a little out of context. but what he says in that highlighted passage really shows in the film regardless.
+smack daniels I also read the whole page and honestly it seemed like the director stilled didn't know what he was talking about. He was more concerned with being artsy than actually being art. Besides one of the best postmodern movies to come out in the last few years was Pixar's Inside Out. Now granted I am not an expert on this stuff, but Inside Out was all about looking at a character's behavior and reasons for that behavior. And isn't that what postmodernism is about? Or at least a branch of it? Examining human behavior and the reasons for it.
It’s time for another GOOD IDEA and BAD IDEA.
G💡💡D IDEA:
Making a Nintendo Wii cult classic focusing on the icon exploring consequences of his mistakes in a dark twisted mirror housing forgotten and discarded ideas of his parent company
*EPIC MICKEY*
BAD IDEA 👎🏻:
Making a pretentious art house movie implicating blame for one man’s mistakes and suffering on a theme park which is really just an excuse to try to rile up a lawsuit on copyright misuse.
**ESCAPE FROM TOMORROW**
THE END
How does Disney do it better?
"Characters who try and fail to deny their own depression" films. It would've been perfect if Inside Llewyn Davis was included there.
The Disney parks mean nothing to me. I never went to them until i was pushing 30 so nearly all the magic and nostalgia is lost on me. But I did date someone who worked as a Disney Princess for many years, and honestly learning about "the real Disney" did nothing to make me hate the corporation -- because it didn't for her either. And that's part of what makes this review (and your show as a whole) so excellent. You aren't just full of hate and bile; you acknowledge what's good, and acknowledge what's bad, and then move on.
That twist ending just had me scratching my head for hours. I only ever watched the film once.
What a weird, nonsensical experience.
Hey, is it sad that I can more sense out of "The Muppet Movie" than this movie?
Giancarlo Colona No, _The Muppet Movie_ is actually good.
mariic2 To be fair, I'd rather watch The Muppet Movie than this.
Well you’re not an art house piece if you don’t have a nonsensical ending. Randy Moore knew this and decided to try to feel more smarter than his audience by cheating and making the movie not make sense just to go “HA HA SOMEONES NOT CULTURED!!”
I just wanna say, my very brief experience working on this film was actually pretty fun.
I'm not an actor, have zero training, aside from two plays I was more or less forced or talked into doing. I was doing background work at the time and my calling service booked me as "valet". So I went in thinking I was just gonna be some faceless, voiceless figure in the background. But when I got to set, they sent me to wardrobe and handed me a script. Just like my scene in this review, it was all about having fun and living in the moment.
The director was actually very cool to me. Very nice, laid back guy. If there's one thing I can praise about him when it comes to this film, it's that he had a dream and he fulfilled it. Regardless of what you or I say about the film itself, (and believe me, I have ALOT to say) this film was his baby.
Not trying to defend the film at all. My lines in this review more or less covers my opinion of it. I'm more defending the director as a person.
4:43 I think he said : “you work for Dickney ?!”
Great ending Tony, one of the best episodes you've made thus far! Looking forward to where you can take the series from here.
I loved your final speech about diversion! I came really close to tearing up because I've feel much the same way, but you put it much more eloquently than I could. Being an adult Disney fan is so difficult sometimes because there are so many cynical people mocking and looking down on us. I just like Disney because it makes me happy. And why shouldn't be happy for a while? I have similar feelings about comedy. Good, smart comedy is hard to do and isn't appreciated enough.
About the time you started releasing this three part review, one of my friends was talking about wanting to see this movie because of how bold it is to shoot in Disney and I just shook my head. So it was nice seeing how bad this movie actually is so I don't have to watch it now.
Like everyone else, I was tearing up during your drive and just waiting for you to arrive at Disneyland.
Bravo!
+Mallory Ward
I agree, I wasn't a Disney kid, I owned like two films at best. I was more Pixar, and then I just grew apart from all of that. Now, I am a massive Disney fan, I just feel like I missed so many great things as a kid, and I am completely right. I don't care, Beauty and the Beast is one of my films period. I don't give a damn, I like several of those Disney Princess characters, I think they are great. Yes I am excited for new Walt Disney Animation Studio films. Do I care what people think? NO! I squandered all those opportunity's some time ago, and it feels so good to fix those mistakes. Seriously, I feel like a happier person, no joke. I have no regrets, so anyone who wants to just talk about how life sucks, well don't complain to me while I enjoy the thing you loath.
I know I'm responding to a 4 year old comment, but this sentiment can be also applied to animation in general. I'm in love with Disney's, Pixar's animation etc, but it's still considered as something that only children can enjoy.
I feel the exact same in these kind of situations with the stuff I enjoy.
I like what I like and I like it because it makes me happy in some way. And I'll be broadening my horizons whenever I can.
The ending to this video is so good I wouldn't be mad if there would never be a some jerk season 4 and this ending was the ending to the entire show.
Tony, i just finished watching this for the first time having not been familiar with your channel until today, seven years after its initial release, and i want you to know that this review really moved me. Through this review, you've created a piece of art with so much more to say than Moore could ever hope to say through Escape From Tomorrow. Spectacular stuff, this review is something i can see myself watching over and over again.
So....where can I buy the Cine-Kyle?
+Redem10 I'm a good substitute.
And I don't cost an arm and a leg.
I heard there was a defect in them. They’ll be back on the market once they fix the brows on them
I just have to say one thing about that ending..........Welcome Home, Jerk.
That ending was really good. And I loved the message you gave about being forced to be happy. I remember my trip to disneyland with friends and two of those trips were ruined by my friend being a total ... um.... emu lady. I'm going to Disneyworld really and I've been watching your videos to prep me for my trip so keep on doing good work like this. And Happy Holidays and thanks for this video for christmas. :)
I hope you had a great trip.
Uh, hugs are bad. Mmkay?
+Andrew Weinstein Agreed
*Gives Andrew Weinstein a hug*
But _hey,_ at least there's someone out there going "Yeah, I never trusted them damn hugs! I never got 'em as a kid, and I'm better for it! *TRUMP 2016!"*
Tony, maybe you read this... Looking at how touching the ending to your video was and considering how you manage to draw me into your weird world with your warm humour and wit even though it has absolutely nothing to do with my life and my reality - maybe except for the old childhood dream of visiting a Disney theme park still excerting some kind of attraction to the kid in my heart - maybe it should be YOU who gets it right. Maybe you should make an actual movie about Disney in the Disney Theme Parks. I think you could do it. The movie this SHOULD have been.
+Gandaleon That's kinda what I'm doing now, only not in movie form. Not yet, anyway. We'll see.
+Tony Goldmark
I'm happy to hear that. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you. Have a good start into the new year!
Ever since I started watching your videos, I knew you were growing as a creator. Your comedy music was (and is, and hopefully will always be) sharp, funny and insightful. As you said at the start of your Country Bears videos, you can't truly love something without mocking it. But here, in Part 3 of this video, you did something damned few funny people or reviewers ever dare. In your conclusion, you revealed part of your soul. You've grown as a person, a performer and a writer. This is the best Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa or Whatever present you could have given us; yourself. From my comparatively small heart, thank you, Mr. Goldmark.
Everyone already said it, but man, that ending drive. I go down that same stretch of the 5 into the resort every month, to the point where it's just become routine for me and my friends. But just the way you set it up, coming after the shot of laser guided insight. Makes me grateful for the first time in a long time that I can call going down there frequently routine, and be part of the collective experience so many others have that they call a fleeting moment of joy in their lives. Thanks man, seriously.
P.S. that pull away down Mainstreet with you infront of the hub. You have all my respects that you were able to pull off what seems like such a simple scene, but in reality must have been a hell of timing to get so perfect considering how crowded it can be, even on a slow day.
Dear SJWAC,
I've wished really hard every night and I still don't have a Cine-Kyle.
+Top Hat Try wishing during the day too.
+Tony Goldmark why the hell WOULD The All Mouse go after your show? It's nothing but free, satirical advertising.
Have you tried Star wishin'?
+Steven Corona I've tried that, I've even captured 12 leprechauns, rubbed 12 lamps. I've even chanted incantations and sacrificed a goat to the great dark one who's powers are so terrible that it causes people to shutter: Donald Trump... Also Satan
+Top Hat Well, thats where you messed up. Calling to Stan incurs God's Wrath. The Lord doesn't appreciate you talking to Stan and this is your punishment. No Cinekyle4u!
This arc was as entertaining and funny as it was insightful. And it was well worth the wait, that ending was amazing. Seriously, #GetTrevorAGig
I'm just over here flailing at the perfection of the early James Taylor soundalike on the closing credits. Damn, that is MASTERFUL.
That's "On A Real Good Day" by the amazing Robbie Fulks, off his 2007 live album Revenge! I highly recommend Fulks' entire discography, especially if you dig old-school-style country music. Massively underrated talent.
7:00 Tell me about the rabbits George.
Universal stole them from me so I made you. The end.
Are they down the barrel of that shotgun?
Tony I have to say that this is some of your best work yet. To see you unabashedly tear down this film and argue why escapism is important was incredibly cathartic. I knew how it was going to end once you got in the car and it was still such a powerful moment. I am eagerly looking forward to what comes next.
...I have no words. This is just amazing. One of your finest, Jerk. Can't wait for the inevitable return to Disney!
I rewatch this trio of reviews every so often.
I just love them so much, you know?
seriously thank you for making these.
And the exile is over, though a terrible price was paid. Well done, Jerk, and welcome home.
The very first part with the Doctor who intro was funny
That ending was beautiful. That song was damn good. Great work.
+TheWritrzblok Thanks! The song was "On A Real Good Day" by Robbie Fulks, from his live album REVENGE! Please go check out more of his work at robbiefulks.com.
+Tony Goldmark thanks for telling me the song.
That last shot is incredibly gorgious. Bravo. just bravo.
Took me a second to figure out how you did it...but wow.
+Scott Hillman You did something that Escape never did. you just shot a dolly shot in Disneyland.
+Scott Hillman Yeah, that's yet another thing that frustrated me about the movie - they didn't even take advantage of all the resources the park provides. Which wouldn't have mattered at all if the movie was better, but...
At the risk of sounding pretentious and highfalutin...that movie was just so fucking UGLY from beginning to end, I felt damn-near OBLIGATED to end my review on as beautiful a note as I could possibly muster.
+Tony Goldmark Honestly a thought i had was they should have gotten you involved as an advisor or something. In your videos you have done a lot in the parks...one thing i do get a sence of is they do seem like every second there affraid of getting thrown out and the entire movie project scuttled.
I am not sure it would have been better , but theres a lot of it(like the fact that the climax takes place in a hotel room) that would have been more intresting to do if they felt a little more sure behind the camera.
You know, I had this feeling that the final part would conclude with you returning to Disneyland. Looking forward to seeing what's next; part of me kinda hopes for it to be the long-awaited review of the Little Mermaid ride
Disney's just ignoring it
they know if they sue Moore for this movie, it'll make him look like he's right
They also dont care.
Disney may be the company that gets copyright extended over and over, but thats not because they care about joe bob making mickey shirts on etsy. They care about warner bros or universal using their stuff. So why would they care about a shit film by a shit film maker made using the same techniques youtubers do to make a living? Filming in disneyland doesnt require guerilla camera work for god sake.
That terminator gag...I love that, very well done ;)
The ending reminds me of the quote “happiness has to be fought for”
Did you mean for that final shot to be an example of your "Disneyland-as-Canvas" speech? Either way you succeeded.
Good Goddamn job sir- you delivered an amazing, in-depth review of something trying desperately- and failing- to be art, and in doing so, you've made art yourself. Happy Holidays.
Wow. I went through so many emotions watching this review. Laughing at the jokes, to getting mad about the copyright claim and the squandered opportunity the film makers had, to sadness to just thinking about the ending. You just blew me away sir.
So, I got a Disney Cruise Line ad before the video, and I just let it play. I needed a little sanity...
Here i am watching this review for the first time, which ends on tony returning to disneyland, 1 week to the day that i return to disneyland having not been there since just before the pandemic.
I had the full annual pass and id often work about only 20 minutes from disney, when i live 2 hours away. So on a lot of those days at the end of work id say "screw it, IM GOING TO DISNEYLAND"
I was 1 week from doing an overnight stay with some family members so we could make sure we got to go on the Rise of the Resistance ride. But we never got to go.
So now, just as all these years ago you returned to disneyland, now so shall i.
This is my favorite series of videos you have made, hilarious and insightful
During the end credits, I was just watching for the Rosecrans exit.
+SonofMrPeanut - But the Rosecrans exit is pretty much always under construction, so you're better off looking for the detour off the Carmenita exit.
SOUTHERN LOS ANGELES COUNTY HUMOR!
Someone should put Kyle and the fucker who made this movie in a room it would be truly a magical experience.
That sounds like a fun time!
Oh, to see Kyle rip Randy a new one would be a wonder to behold indeed! Who's got the popcorn?
This movie just seemed like it was trying to hard to be an episode of the Twilight Zone. But it was more like The New Twilight Zone Tower of Terror. The New Twilight Zone Tower of Terror. The New Twilight Zone Tower of Terror. The New Twilight Zone Tower of Terror. The New Twilight Zone Tower of Terror. The New Twilight Zone Tower of Terror. The New Twilight Zone Tower of Terror. The New Twilight Zone Tower of Terror. The New Twilight Zone Tower of Terror. The New Twilight Zone Tower of Terror. The New Twilight Zone Tower of Terror. The New Twilight Zone Tower of Terror. The New Twilight Zone Tower of Terror. The New Twilight Zone Tower of Terror. The New Twilight Zone Tower of Terror.

It's funny. From the moment you first announced a review of this film, I knew it would end with you going back to Disney, and yet that predictability did not detract from the journey. This was very well done. Kudos.
Even though I’ve seen this episode god knows how many times, I still fight back tears at that ending sequence.
Did you know that this review is mentioned and quoted on the wikipedia site for Escape from Tomorrow?
I like to rewatch this 3 partner and it's been a while since the last time and whoo boy that cat flu subplot hits different these days lmao.
Part of me thinks Randy Moore was hired by Disney to pretend to be some paranoid Disney hater and put his name on this movie, so it makes the company look good. If that were true than this would be the greatest marketing campaign of all time.
Also why does this movie have a 56% on Rotten Tomatoes? Anyway great review, that ending really got me in the feels, and when you said how the emu woman literally hugged a girl to death I nearly lost it. Again, this movie has a better rotten tomatoes score than Home Alone.
+Kyle Norty Some critics are extremely susceptible to empty gimmicks that feel "important" or some shit.
+Tony Goldmark So... "Unfriended" in a nutshell?
Zice033 Hey at least that movie made it clear that we weren't supposed to like the characters.
+Kyle Norty True.
+Tony Goldmark
I know what you mean, when I see obvious Oscar Bait films have a 75 or higher on reviewer sites, I really start to question what these critics were thinking. That always makes me want to become a critic, just to counter act those people.
I finally got it! When the guy died from the cat flu that represented him finally being fed up with life and wanting to leave, seamen the company earlier realized this so they resurrected him but transported him to a alternate universe, erased his memory from the other universe and transplanted the memories from this universe, so Jim checking in was representing Jim finally getting something he didn't deserve because he's at the happiest place of earth, at least that explains why they brought in the Seman company, oh the tinker bell fairies are a hallucination side effect due to the memory taking out and transplanting.
What a hell of a series! Fantastic insight, comedy and direction Mr Goldmark.
Standing ovation. Bravo, sir. Bravo.
I'm also so glad someone reviews the Disney parks, you make the best videos Tony 😀
Yes best Christmas present ever! so happy to see the conclusion to this awesome review and jerk back at Disneyland with an amazing end shot.
Anyone else lose it at that Jurassic Park spit edit?
Fantastic ending. Great to see ya back at the park. Probably your best review yet.
YOU WATCH FAWLTY TOWERS.
Okay, That's it! YOU'RE MY FAVORITE CRITIC.
What also gets me about this whole movie is that it had potential. If National Lampoon's Vacation could pull it off, why not this? I mean, all they had to do was develop the characters more, scrap the pointless fluff and just make it about the father reconnecting with his family and it would at least be tolerable. (As a side note, I think those two actors have talent. Hope they get casted in better rolls then...this.)
After putting some thought into not only some of the comparisons you've made regarding EFT, but also just how Jerk's character arc had been going from the end of Season Two up until this review, I personally think that giving a nod towards Inside Out in this situation was brilliant.
Relatively, the two films do share some things in common, yet they're the complete antithesis of the other. Whereas Inside Out is about accepting one's emotions and ultimately growing up, EFT completely spits in that concept, by having Jim repeatedly deny his feelings and ultimately not evolve as a person or even as a human being whatsoever (aside from getting his apparent "Heaven").
As for why I bring up Jerk's character arc, (and I might be reading too much into this), it almost parallels some of the arcs that the film goes over. A relatively innocent character is presented with the hard truth of life, tries to deny/avoid the topic entirely, and ultimately accepts it, therefore growing as a person.
Of course, some things don't add up or apply, but the point stands.
he finally forgive disney for using people dressed like the character instead of the real ones ;(
What a awesome chrismas gift!
Words cannot describe how great that last shot is.
You know, I wouldn't mind seeing a movie about the guy in the wheelchair guy and what his trip was like.
Sorry for replying to a year-old comment but it gives me an excuse to say something I've wanted to for years.
The wheelchair guy is supposed to be depicted as villainous because he dares to enjoy Disney World, but you'll notice how he and his son stayed with Sarah after she got hurt instead of leaving her there.
Sure, they didn't try to take her to the nurse, but it was probably safer to stay there for a bit and hope one of her parents would show up soon. If Jim didn't show up in a reasonable amount of time, then they probably would have taken her to the nurse and then find a member of the staff who could reach out to her parents. Wheelchair guy is a parent himself so he would know how to handle the situation, but he's supposed to come off like a jerk.
And then for the rest of the movie, he's depicted as an obstacle, a nuisance to Jim in all his subsequent appearances just because he dares to be a disabled person in an abled person's world and we're supposed to either laugh or cheer whenever something bad happens to him.
As the child of a disabled person whose dad was in a wheelchair until the day he died (the very year this review was released by coincidence), I don't have a very positive opinion of Mr. Moore because of that character's depiction or treatment.
Wow. I never thought I'd see a movie that ended with death by atomic shits.
I'm here for the Kyle Kallgren cameo!
How to save the movie? Make a Gaspar Noé-sque story; the guy is an absolute looser: he lost his job, his wife doesn't love him anymore, his children are annoying, and on top of that, he is at Disney which he hates. His solution? He takes any type of psychodelic drug. It starts nice; the hallucinations with sexy women and all that stuff, but he slowly starts to have a bad trip because of all the things going around him (because he's in frickin' Disneyland) and starts with the scary hallucinations and the weird storylines. At the end, the trip ends and he leaves the hotel with his wife and children. Nothing happened yet everything happened at the same time; maybe not a tight storyline but definitely better than this mess, and a much more interesting concept.
Videos like this one and your video on the Hall of Presidents really blow my mind, Tony.
Your inflection, your talent, your smarts, the way you can make things like "Bothsides McBabyprison" flow so naturally into your work. Maybe I just haven't learned enough yet, but you almost seem like a freaking film professor in things like this. Thank you, Mr. Goldmark.
He and others he works with could very well be taught in classes.
Yay! You got the song back
You know, for all its talk about how evil Disney is, its kinda a problem that Disney doesn't do anything... you know EVIL
That ending though. Jerk, this was amazing. Please keep making videos. You're an exceptional talent.
Aw man, this is probably my favorite review so far. And the ending was perfect. I actually started to worry that you weren't going to end up at Disney, and then that final shot with you standing on Main Street. Had a lump in my throat. Awesome job!
0:58 Kronk: Oh yeah. It’s all coming together.
Wow....that's pretty bad even when your OWN ACTOR says your movie is terrible. How did you even get him? Anyway, great vid as always Jerk!
+Time Cop He's a huge Channel Awesome fan, and he left a comment on part one describing his experience. I was still working on part three at the time, so I offered him the cameo and the rest is history.
The ending to this video is just perfect.
Can we talk about the poor editing on the "Evil Hug" scene. Legit they could've chosen ANY OTHER shot of the park to green screen Emu Lady/Witch onto and they chose the shot from a monorail ride. The girl's fucking flying in that shot and we have to accept it because "I am speaking English"
I guess they were aiming for kind of an ethereal vibe? I dunno, it's a bad movie.
@@TonyGoldmark
It’s a bad movie, and that should explain everything.
That was one of the most satisfying SJWAC episodes I've ever seen! Thanks, Tony, for the best Holidizzle present your fans and subscribers could ever ask for! And that ending! Boy, it was so heavy on all the feels that it was too hard not to smile! Now, to give myself a cold shower (or some other way to neuralyze myself) and pretend that this pompous excuse for a Hitchcock/Lynch fantasy thriller set inside a theme park doesn't even exist in my mind...
Got any ideas?
