When the Revolution comes, where will the Christmas Prince hide?

At length I remembered the last resort of a great princess who, when told that the peasants had no bread, replied: "Then let them drink cocoa."

Under the Christmas tree, I bet.
Duh, in the hedge maze
I'm imagining the director of these films openly weeping now that someone finally understands the incredibly complex themes of the Christmas Prince cinematic universe.
Like Ready Player One? Is Jenny the queen of Aldovia now?
I would if it was me
Once again Jenny ruins a story about a secret acorn ornament with adoption info by asking logical questions. Jenny Downer.
The CPCU
I like to think it was the costume designer/stylist subverting the movie with their subtle color themes that they thought would just be an 'in' joke among their friends, lol
Her getting a Pandora bracelet as a lavish gift from royalty is like a rich family going out for a fancy dinner at Olive Garden.
mandarinduck And it’s also incredibly par-for-the-course for any actual member of the monarchy.
mandarinduck reminds me of Trump feeding that sports team McDonald’s.
Or taking a princess to a Pizza Express for her birthday.
mandarinduck that’s tacky.
@@theoneandonlymichaelmccormick Exactly. The British monarchy, when not performing actual duties, traditionally have almost plebian tastes and habits.
I’m still not over “his royal hotness” and then we actually see Richard and I’m like.....what.
He looks like if a loaf of white bread came to life
@ThatWeirdo04
fucking lmao
Gotta give them this - he does look like British royalty in that regard.
The first problem was they named him Richard
He looks like a Wonderbread loaf.
I do some voice acting in anime and one day I got called in to do some small roles in a show called "Moriarty the Patriot". Imagine my utter delight when the director told me that the man playing Sherlock Holmes was none other than Theo Devaney, the actor who plays Simon in "A Christmas Prince."
You have a fart fetish lol
NO WAY
That rocks
Had to read this twice to confirm it was not "Moriarty the Parrot"
@@TwoPairSA until I saw your comment I thought the same. Kinda disappointed tbh 🤣
A Christmas Prince: the Christmas baby. Where Amber, despite going into labor, has to hold the baby in until Christmas day.
lol you called it. We'll see if that happens
i laughed so hard a something inside me i didn't know i had hurts
The best part about that is that the third movie is literally about her having a baby
they just announced the Christmas Prince 3: The Royal Baby.
She finds out about a law requiring she gives birth on Christmas a little too late
Workers of Aldovia unite, you have nothing to lose but your chains
What about their candy canes?
They have a cinematic universe to win.
Freedom from our bonds, brothers!
Don't be so sure - violent revolutions have a way of making things even worse in the long run. Remember Russia?
@@cityman2312 Yeah, remember how they beat the Nazis? How fucked up was that.
To be fair to the people of his nation being given money to make it "Through the Holidays" in a land where the Holidays arent allowed to end is actually a pretty sweet deal
Universal basic income by way of a loophole, he really is the Christmas KING
I really hope this means he'll run out of money for himself and bring the royal family to financial ruin, aka not being able to afford Pandora bracelet's, leading to the final Christmas Prince movie, where Richard unfairly raises taxes too high and brings revolution unto him and his wife
My jaw dropped when I saw the map of Aldovia in the third movie. I'd assumed Aldovia was like the size of Luxembourg, but no: it consists of the entire territory of Romania, Hungary, Bulgaria, Serbia, Croatia, Bosnia, Slovenia, Czechia, and even Constantinople/Istanbul. That gives it a population of some 70 million, and a nominal GDP of $1.2 trillion.
Then we're told there's a risk of war breaking out between them and "Penglia", whose borders (the Caucasus states and southern Russia) encompass a population of just 35 million people and a nominal GDP of just $240 billion. What's more, the map shows that these two countries don't even share a land border, meaning Penglia (whose army seems to consist of Medieval Mongols on horseback) would have to mount a naval invasion across the Black Sea, against an industrialised nation with twice its population and five times its economic power. (And I presume Aldovia is also a member of NATO and the U.N., so could call on allies as well.)
And Aldovia doesn't have a subway, apparently. All of these lands, not one subway.
I don’t even know if you’re being serious but I’m choosing to believe this because it’s amazing
I checked the map, they're telling the truth. My theory: Britain conquered the Balkans in an alternate Napoleonic Wars and the resulting territory seceded, and Aldovia was born.
why would you say constantinople/istanbul...the official name has been Istanbul since the 1900s
@@aonairskies Gonna guess because it's an alternate universe where Aldovia consumed these regions before 1930, when Constantinople changed its name to Istanbul in our universe?
“And I have organized all of these things...”
Say itttt say it....
“into a NUMBERED LIST.”

mellowmonticello thank you! long live st vincent!
Wow, you look like a hard-working business woman who’s not ready to settle down but will end up returning to her hometown and meeting a sweet, simple man with a young child and a dog.
Who's also a tradesman
Will she dislike him at first but come to value his honest homespun wisdom whilst her pretensions are flustered comically by the aforementioned dog?
He dreams about opening his own bakery.
And she will eventually set up a side business once her kid starts school selling home made dog accessories like coats in funky patterns
Then meets the porg of her dreams and but the twist is he sadist. But thats ok, because she realizes is is a submissive. I see Disney..er..Tombstone producing.
Plot twist: the king *DID* amend the constitution to allow Emily to rule: he just also hid that decree in an ornament with an obscure riddle leading to it.
To the winner go the spoils.
Lol.
Pity his wife only found one of the ornaments, maybe he actually did get better at keeping secrets
thats kinda shit id do on my death honestly lol
I just imagine there is like hundred of ornaments amending the constitution for random people to rule. Like "We found another ornament the chef that retired 3 years ago is fifth in line now"
@@jdbeier8520 Find two ornaments at once, one says "The princess IS the heir to the throne" and the other says "The princess IS NOT the heir to the throne" and they have to figure out which is more recent
Andovian people: we’re starving and we have no jobs.
Prince: let them eat snow cones
Colorful, sickly sweet, with connotations of celebration and joy, but devoid of nutrients and unable to sustain a person for long. PERFECT ANALOGY
I thought this said "let them eat pinecones" at first and I didn't bat an eye.
The Christmas Prince 4: Join The Revolution
I know the goal of Jenny's outfit was to imitate Amber's signature look in the second movie but she just looks like the protagonist of a 2000's rom com and it's freaking adorable
I love the hat.
Maybe she'll have to take a business trip to her home city and fall in love with a handsome down-to-earth single father who's the perfect opposite of her current slimy cheating big city boyfriend.

Maybe she vented away
Her plane tragically disappeared over the Arctic Ocean but it was covered up by the Aldovian secret service
Jenny must have been godlike at essay writing in college.
I thought I was great at it, but Ive realized Im the Prince Richard of essay writing. An unqualified pretender
Lmaoo that reminds me of the super nice super smart smokin hot chick I sat beside in english class in hs that let me copy off her n shit 😂 god bless her lol or I woulda never graduated
@JustANobody Stop being a disgusting pervert
She knows how to entertain, but to be honest the skillset for writing a college essay is a bit different. Not sure all the old professors would appreciate her tangents or sense of humor.
@@bunhee231 I have no idea if she has the skill-set. She's probably a very good essay writer, in fact, but because the skillset doesn't translates 1 to 1, I don't think we can automatically say she's "god-tier" at technical/academic writing just based off her (very enjoyable) youtube videos/video essays.
my favourite part was the protest sign just saying 'why?!'

Best thing is that you can keep reusing that sign in every protest you attend, it’s incredibly versatile.
Lol 15:05 on the left
You misread the reading of "Emily was a miracle." This being a Christmas-obsessed nation, clearly she was immaculately conceived, and is the Second Coming.
Well she does act like the reincarnation of Tiny Tim, hoping that everyone will see her and be reminded of the Christ Child who heals the lame so that they may walk and the blind may see.

Christmas Prince 3: Christmas Princess will be about Emily leading a theocratic revolution to finally take what she is owed.
@@sovietcanuckistanian Emily is the Palpatine to Amber's Darth Vader.
James DeRiven You astound me!
coming back to this because i just watched The Princess Switch: Switched Again and the Christmas Prince couple appears in it, even though Vanessa Hudgens was seen talking about the movie Christmas Prince in the first Princess Switch. This means that in their universe Aldovia is real and Christmas Prince is a documentary. Much to think about.
Probably less documentary and more like one of those unauthorized Lifetime channel specials.
To this day, this still annoys me a lot xD
So cinematic universe isn’t even a joke then 😂
I think they also mention aldovia in the knight before Christmas! AND in castle for Christmas which just came out with Brooke Shields, some characters from princess switch have a cameo. So there definitely is a Netflix Christmas movie cinematic universe...for some reason
Someone else who noticed! I'm far too happy lol
Time to watch a 2 year old, 30+min video about a sequel to a movie I have never seen.
lol,same
Thought it was just me
Jenny's commentary is more entertaining than watching the actual movie would be.
Me
This is the way
As a costume designer, the analysis of color was totally heart warming. Also, this place is definitely a Brigadoon style cursed country which appears once a year for the season of Advent, and vanishes again at Epiphany.
The colors make the dialogue [mercifully] unnecessary! I'll watch it on silent. :)
The colors bit blew me away - in such a bland story, I wouldn't have expected such great color symbolism! Also then realized that Jenny's wearing the pink coat, blue scarf and grey beret
@@MissPoplarLeaf Sometimes, even in bad movies, there is still so much effort on the details that most of the movie goers will not even notice
The pandora bracelet was an insult. Aristocracy is all about status, and by giving someone pedestrian jewelry it reaffirms that person's lower status, bonus points if the pleb doesn't get the insult.
as we know from our dear Queen Bee Regina George, "Oh my God, I love your bracelet. Where did you get it?"
@@Nyasferatu "That is the ugliest f-ing bracelet I've ever seen in my life."
I was hoping this was a sponsored video paid for by Pandora.
To fully understand the insult to Amber would require knowledge of what is a now all but forgotten scene cut from the final film. Emily, as a member of the royal family, does not simply “run out to the mall,” or even “just order on line.” All gifts from the royal family to employees among the palace staff are strictly handled exclusively (for obvious reasons) by the Head of Palace Protocol, who is… Mrs. Averille. Now do you see it?
We have lost the scene in which Emily details her general specifications for the gift to Mrs. Averille, and so we miss the older woman’s expression of profound distaste for Amber which soon turns to gloating as she selects the gift itself from the Pandora website. Her chortle and softly delivered line, “Oh, _this_ will be a little gift for myself!” were some of Mrs. Averille’s best moments, adding a depth to the character that would have nicely set up her increasingly open conflict with Amber. That bracelet was an insult indeed!
The irony is sharp and cuts in every direction. Emily trusts Mrs. Averille completely and is gratefully delighted with her selection of gift, knowing nothing of American Shopping Mall Culture. Amber being Amber, is genuinely appreciative, thinking to herself that Emily has terrible taste, because she is young and has been so isolated as a Royal, but believes that the girl has gone to great effort to find something uniquely American and this endears Emily to her forever. Mrs. Averille quickly realizes she has misjudged. Her insult has sailed over Amber’s head as intended but there is no satisfaction to be had because no-one amongst the nobility has any idea of the quality or monetary value of the charm bracelet. The Royals all appear to assume it was something Amber had requested - to remind her of Christmas at home in America. Having come to the understanding that everyone in the palace is oblivious to the real value of the gift, Mrs. Averille feels comfortable doctoring the accounts ledger and over-charging the Royal Family by an qegregious amount. She pockets the difference and treats herself a crate of a 43 year old Aldovian schnapps that has been aged in France. It is actually while drinking one of these precious bottles in the second movie that she hatches the plan to create a dilemma for Amber and the Prince regarding what jewelry Amber can wear in the royal portrait.
The bit when Richard plays with the orphans instead of giving his fundraiser speech reminds me of an episode of MASH.
Winchester donates some candy to a local orphanage for Christmas. Later he sees a soldier eating one of the candies, who says he bought them on the black market. Winchester angrily confronts the man who runs the orphanage, but it's then revealed that by selling the candy, which "would've brought the children great joy for a few moments," he was instead able to buy enough rice and cabbage to feed them for a month.
Great moment, and Charles learns a lesson that it seems Richard really needs to.
Love a good M*A*S*H reference!
the cut back to Jenny at 22:40 where its revealed she's been cosplaying the whole video is such a startle, lmao
She is even wearing the charm bracelet with the snowflake charm. I didn’t notice it until she was talking about it. @13:20 she even kind of points at it. Dunno if that was intentional.
Right?! I had to pause the video for a second and go '...hang on a minute... that's what you're wearing!'.
Editor Jenny strikes again
Yes!
Simon's redemption arc is a comment on how the ruling class sets aside their internal struggles and pull together when their collective class interests are challenged.
oh THIS is the kind of commentary i love seeing

🤣
Highly appropriate avatar
It also shows how meritocracy is a phrase, as those who are theoretically qualified will not get power because of the petty squabbles of those already in power.
I couldn’t tell how much of the color theory analysis was satire because it was legitimately kind of fantastic.
Satire? Looks like pretty basic crap to me.
Melissa Smith Why the hate? What didn't you like about it? I'm genuinely curious.
@@sarahfrench113 About the review? I didn't really say I didn't like it, although I realized later it's not to be taken seriously. I'm interested in real analysis.
@@melissasmith6762 Lol, real analysis of A Christmas Prince? Fluffy stuff like this doesn't provide a ton of material for serious philosophical and cinematic discussions.
@@melissasmith6762 I guess it wasn't satire for the explaination of the first movie and Ambers color theory but it turned into satire when she talked about the second movie, because they totally dropped that in the second one, and I think Jenny was making fun of that hahaha
The Christmas Prince universe is crazier than you think. Not only do they watch it in Princess Switch but Richard and Amber actually show up in a cameo in Princess Switch 2. Plus there are references to it also being in the same world as Knight Before Christmas, Royal Treatment and Princess Diaries. Which means there's at least 4 Vanessa Hudgens and time travel exists.
…I need a conspiracy board video mapping this out. 😂
*spits out hot chocolate I've been drinking while trying to figure out how to prevent a lower-class uprising*
PRINCESS DIARIES???
I lost it when Richard ran out into the hedge maze like calling Amber's name, with the dramatic music and the camera angles indicating confusion and chaos. I was just imagining what that actually looks like without the cinema. Someone just running into a yard, mostly standing in place, looking back and forth for his fiance, confused that she isn't in this single location out of about a million places she could be.
Or the financial state of the country has been so thoroughly destroyed already that a Pandora bracelet IS very valuable, and a rare commodity in this universe
Yes, like Western music in a Soviet state
The fake rockin' around the christmas tree is like when you can hear a conversation but you're not focused on what they're saying
It sounds like this th-cam.com/video/Vt4Dfa4fOEY/w-d-xo.html
I was listening to this in the background and came back to read your comment and realize it completely fooled me
They followed the soundalike rule. Inversion of the melody, using the same chord progression is legal. Seriously, how do you not get the rights to an old song? That means there wasn't much potential in the movie.
@@TheNickleChick Not a real thing, by the by. It's just the output of a shitty (or half-finished) Generational Adversarial Network, like those fake faces a facebook engineer posted ages ago. They were probably playing around with GANs, got this output and decided to pretend it had anything to do with strokes. Maybe they even convinced themselves it was true.
I've watched this video so many times that now when I hear the original rockin around the Christmas tree it sounds wrong to me because I'm more used to this version
"It's not a plot hole. The royal family just had everyone involved killed" omg XD
The "male bloodline" reference is also dumb because they could just say she's a minor and that's why she can't rule the country
AFAIK if it’s a male bloodline and male-preference primogeniture, that doesn’t automatically mean emily has no claim, and logically hers should be stronger than simon’s. richard isn’t biologically the king and queen’s son, but emily is by the queen’s own admission their daughter; she’s therefore descended from the male bloodline and moreover a direct relative of the old king, unlike simon, who’s only his nephew. i don’t remember if we established which of simon’s parents is an aldovian royal, but if his mother was a princess, his claim is all the weaker because he’s descended from the female line (as far as i remember! i could be wrong!)
it’s plausible that emily simply doesn’t have the political power or enough allies to enforce her claim, given that she’s a minor, a girl, and disabled-even if her claim *should* have more weight, that doesn’t mean the nobility would automatically support her as the heir when there’s a physically abled adult man also putting forth a claim, given that most societies on earth have misogynistic and ableist attitudes.
if the sole issue is that emily is a minor, it could be a problem of who will be her regent until she turns 18-if she can’t legally rule for however many years, and they say something like “the queen can’t be her regent because she’s not a royal by blood”, that could be the reason why simon has a shot at being king: they don’t need to scramble to find a suitable regent after discounting both richard and the queen, even if his claim is weaker. i like this option, it has much less bigoted implications as to why emily can’t be queen.
Monarchies have never barred children from ruling. If the monarch is a child they will almost always have a regent to advise them on political matters, and the regent is often the one who is making all or most of the decisions, but officially the child is still the monarch.
In Brazil, the prince Pedro Cabral ruled when he was just 13 years old.
@@renatashpthis is an alt universe so
But then why doesn't his mom rule? King is dead ok no problem we still have the queen. But oh no she is a woman shucks
I'll never understand why all these fictional European nations have some sort of vaguely Latin or Greek based name but are always just England but with a more powerful monarchy.
Aldovia is a Baltic State that was colonized by the British in the 19th century. The ruling family brought over British families and appropriated land from the native slavs, after which they began a Christmas Genocide, working them to death in the Christmas Mines, collecting tin to make Christmas ornaments for the world. The field they always ride through is the site of the mass graves of the native population.
Kenneth Elliott Liked for ‘Christmas Genocide’
On a serious note, it's just what's familiar to yankees. English royals are on international news regularly as opposed to royals from Scandinavia/Spain/Belgium/Netherlands/Monaco/wherever who hardly ever do, or Saudi monarchs who only get on tv after extrajudicial executions or egregious war crimes. And latin-ish names are what you get when you try to come up with a foreign-sounding european-ish name ending in -ia
Who cares? Everyone knows the best fictional European nation is Latveria.
Kenneth Elliott The mass *Christmas graves
I think Emily giving Protagonist a pandora bracelet in a box was an allusion to Pandora’s box, and how Protagonist’s snooping led to dark secrets (adoption) facing the harsh white light of the Aldovian winter
WRONG. It was a reference to the planet Pandora from the movie Avatar, which is the Aldovian's home planet.
That's a very astute point.
Or because the name Pandora means "all gifts" in Ancient Greek. Amber has all the gifts a modern American woman could want - a job as a journalist, a blog, staff to do the Christmas cooking and an English royal husband. I am not quite sure where in England Aldovia is but somewhere in the south, I guess.
@nan All of the Aldovian's consciousness transfers to a giant Christmas Tree when they die, also the tree uproots itself and fights a giant robot.
The adoption certificate looks exactly like a Cabbage Patch Kids adoption certificate.
Like who decided it should be horizontal like a primary school award instead of vertical like actual formal legal documents are? 🤣🥴
richard has the emotional range of a cabbage patch kid
Okay people do not give Jenny enough credit, the analysis of the costume color design in this movie is fucking EPIC. As someone who has done some costume study and taken some classes in it it was honestly a masterful discussion and I didn't even NOTICE that.
It's amazing, clearly intentional which makes me think maybe the costume designer at least gets the true dystopian meaning
That "color analysis" is brilliant - the critic should be the consultant
No. Analyzing a movie like this for half an hour is not epic, it's ridiculous, because this kind of movie is not meant to be analyzed. It's a cheesy, feel-good, Christmas movie. It's meant to be enjoyed, no dissected. There is no deeper meaning, and the people insisting it has a 'dystopian meaning', etc., are wrong.
Put on your Christmas pjs, get some popcorn, sit back, and enjoy a movie like this the way it's meant to be enjoyed - as a fun fairytale.

As someone who works in film, I'll tell you, the makeup issue is most likely because their hair and makeup team was trash, or at least severely underfunded. Usually, before the camera rolls, the assistant director will call for "last looks," prompting the HMU team to rush onto set for touch ups. They would fix shiny skin, settled makeup, etc. Looks like that didn't happen on the Christmas Prince set. Maybe it was a deliberate choice, I can't understand why they wouldn't follow such a simple protocol, otherwise.
but then, the lighting. i mean, this is supposed to be a hallmarkian feel good Christmas romance, but the lighting is consistently cold, harsh, blue tinged and unwelcoming. those are very weird choices and doesn't make that.much sense as for cheapness..... the mystery keeps unfolding .........
@@kathia8014 the color grading is also extremely dull... Fits with the dark theme...
If the look was intermittently bad, I would agree with you. The fact that it’s throughout the film makes it a deliberate choice-the anti-Hallmark Hallmark movie.
Princess Emily is literal royalty… in a $120 amazon wheelchair. Seriously, even my crappy wheelchair is better than that nightmare.
Had to save money for the royal Pandora bracelet
the opposite of a funny bone is the dread sack, like your pancreas or your spleen. And it is not tickled, it is SQUEEZED. That really squeezed your dread sack.
I nominate the adrenal glands for the title of dread sacks.
I think this ignores the role of the amygdala in attaching emotional valence to experience, particularly states of anxiety such as dread. I’d be good with, “squoze my ‘mygdala,” or such as a colloquialism....
I'm adding that to my vocabulary.
Princess Emily is the villain: she gave an outsider a piece of *pandora* jewelry in a jewelry box... which means Amber literally opened Pandora's Box. She forced a good-hearted individual to release evils into the world! D:
WOAH
Wooooahhhh
Damn. The Christmas Prince cinematic universe has _layers._
Them layers man, you keep pulling them back but they just keep coming
The Christmas Prince is like an onion... it has layers
Another reason for the makeup issue is because they usually actually shoot Christmas movies in summer when it’s exceptionally hot. there was a hallmark movie shot in my hometown and they covered whole downtown in fake snow
They tell actors to pretend-shiver while they’re sheened in sweat from cozy layered costumes, which can make those who overdo the shivers look dopesick

Oh yes the QUIRKY and RELATABLE female heroine has to wear chucks with her dress
You say that like every quirky woman doesnt want to dance in a million dollar dress and $50 sneaks
I think Jenny could teach a graduate level course in “Quirky and Relatable.” I wonder what footwear she chooses when an occasion calls for a ball gown?
Good thing you clarified that the heroine was female. Just so there's no doubt of her being a male heroine.

As where everyone knows the only real way for a girl to be quirky is to wear combat boots with her dress, like yourself.
Let’s all be fair though, “You don’t care... for tobogganing?” is absolutely scathing and should basically qualify the second film for a screenwriting Golden Globe by itself

Guys I just finished watching the Christmas prince 5 and I can't believe that they actually did what they promised. The scene where princess Emily's chariot blows up because of the A.P.R (Aldovian peoples republic, the communist terrorist organization funded by Penglia which seeks to establish a social utopia at the royal expense) placing a bomb surprised me. I didn't expect them to kill a main character like that and the open casket scene after is heartbreaking. The jolly Christmas music during it all gave a chaotic atmosphere. I totally understand Richard's decision to purge the palace of traitors, including the head of guards, though I think hanging their hands and heads as tree ornaments was tacky. I'm happy you guys recommended it, thanks.
Omg what is this real? I’ve only seen the 1st movie
Just wait until you get to the sixth movie
@@loveu8910 yeah man it gets wild in later movies.
Man, have you guys seen the tv show spinoff yet? It's set after Christmas Prince 6 and it's an incredibly heartbreaking look at the horrors of civil war. Not to spoil anything, but the atom bomb scene had me staring at the tv long after the credits rolled.
@@deen7530 dude I seriously want to but I watched the first episode and found the sudo erotic romance between the two twin kings, Richard and William so wierd, like did the filmmakers have to throw in their wierd fetishes
Having just seen the two films (but not yet the third), I have to say that while this is an excellent analysis, she didn’t address one of the things I found most concerning- the enormous power of the Christmas Monarchy. The end of the first film seems to indicate that the king holds absolute legislative power- being able to rewrite laws even that pertain to the monarchy itself and have those laws accepted without approval by any legislative body. This means that the monarch has essentially infinite ability to redefine and expand their own power- surely not a good sign of freedom in Aldovia. Further, though the family often make a joke of throwing people into the dungeon, the look of absolute terror on the faces of the people who are threatened belies the awful truth even before the second movie’s reveal that the allegedly nonexistent dungeon is in fact very real and still in use. Just how many Aldovians have met their end in a dank cell beneath an uncaring royal family, withering away without due process? The sheer fact that someone like the queen mother, who kn most nations with a reigning king would hold little or no power, can order a few servants to drag away an important, high-profile, member of society to a dungeon, never to be seen again, is greatly disturbing. If anything, it’s a Christmas miracle that the authoritarian Aldovian government allowed so many people to protest in front of the king’s speech- though I suppose it’s possible they were all dragged off and executed afterward, since we don’t see them again.
how can one family control such a large territory (from another comment, it covers about six real-world nations), with so little effectiveness, public support, or visible military presence?
it can only be: they've imprisoned a powerful spirit of Christmas below their castle, consigning the kingdom to an eternal winter and striking fear into the hearts of their enemies, i mean, citizens.
"The first snowfall of Christmas is a sign of Aldovian good fortune" is a terribly malicious joke because it snows every day.
But from the dungeons, terrible laughter can be heard as the binding upon the ancient spirit is weakening....
"ho, ho, ho......."
Christmas Prince 4: The Weakened Seal
@@jessicest Good idea! I humbly present a slight modification.
The royal family kidnapped Persephone in their dungeon, ensuring eternal winter. Hades sends the armies of the underworld to get her back. It's a quasi-zombie-movie, with a relationship challenge since it introduces a literal goddess into the mix to shake up the relational status quo. Maybe Krampus is friends with Hades and can show up at the end of the second act.
A joint SciFi / Hallmark movie. Maybe with the director from that Community tv show.
@@seanfager8063 (in the festively decorated dungeon): "if we're going to outsmart hades, we need someone who knows how he thinks."
"persephone, we need your help."
persephone: (looks shocked)
(cut to emily, amber, and persephone sitting together in persephone's cell, running google image searches on a laptop and speaking important-sounding dialog while persephone starts learning the meaning of chistmas)
"and you call this.......... egg.... nog?"
@@jessicest
Persephone, yelling : It's a celebration of winter!
Emily, quietly almost a whisper : It's a celebration...of Life.
Cue teamwork-building montage
In the end they trick Hades into drinking diet eggnog made with water from the river Lethe. He forgets who he is and they hire him on as a wacky butler who plays comic relief in the subsequent sequels.

i also love that richard says “the first snow of christmas is an aldovian sign of good fortune” as if snow during the winter is a rare, highly coveted occurrence and not something that presumably happens like multiple times every single year
In some countries, sure. But in others, you have to sacrifice people to get snow and good fortune
I think it could be akin to the Japanese "first cherry blossom fall" celebration.
@@horusreloaded6387 like the southern us
If the royals live in Aldovia's equivalent of London, i.e. a city pretty far south with mildish weather, its relatively conceivable that they dont get snow every year even if the rest of the country is blanketed in it. This belief further supports Richards inability to rule as it demonstrates that he spends so little time away from the wealthy capital that he cant relate at all to the issues of the populous at large, making him unfit to effectively govern.
Man idk where you are in England where snow falls multiple times every single year. Some years we don't get snow at all.
I always assumed Aldovia was like... Scandinavia or someplace with that kinda heavy snow. Their accents are English, sure, but that's just to play into the whole Dickens Christmas movies, and handsome Royals image.
But yeah, saying snow falling is a sign of good fortune when snow falls all winter is an odd one.
Jenny.
There’s a third movie Jenny.
Jenny . . .
I need that review Jenny . . .
I clocked that Pandora bracelet on your wrist. Nice attention to detail.
The second she mentioned Pandora I literally full-screened the video to get a closer look lmao great touch
Plus the whole outfit
*Pandora: The World of Avatar bracelet
Im not sure if you mean actual pandora or disney pandora :world of avatar
I scrolled through so many comments to see if anyone else saw this.
Ok, but why was that color analysis so legit? Lol.
dang ikr it kinda blew my mind
Because Jenny is amazing
Im pretty sure the entire video started with the prompt "go insane with color analysis on something that definitely doesn't deserve it and retcon the reasons for the choices."
Everything was sarcastic and at the same time absolutely legit
I'm just imagining a war movie about these fictional countries, but all the bunkers have festive lights hung up and 'Jingle Bell Rock' plays over the battles.
Weirdly enough, their Christmas Truce actually happens at Easter
Not Jingle Bell Rock, the weird knockoff version from the intro
war is hell
I just imagine the director of this movie watching this video and shouting, “SHE GOT IT! SOMEONE GOT MY VISION!!!”
Great analysis. I really enjoyed this!
I can't believe you missed Amber's father turning into an entirely different person. Clearly it signified that Amber's sense of self has deteriorated to the point that she doesn't even realize that her father has been replaced by an imposter who looks nothing like him.
jeremyud - Have you ever heard of Capgras Syndrome? _[shudder]_ This is every bit the grim alternate-reality dystopia Jenny claims. The madness is just below the surface....
I like to think one of the other dads is a step dad. Her mom divorced and remarried before she died and both dads own a diner. They each own their own diner. They don't share one.
@@debbiemcpherson2426 or they both share a diner and are secretly in love
@@sylvy16 Both men discover their bisexuality after their wife/ex-wife dies and develop a bond through their shared grief over the mom and their mutual love of their daughter.
Amber doesn't accept her dads' relationship, which is why only one dad visits her at a time and they speak as if the other dad doesn't exist.
It's not ideal. They want to visit as a couple. But they already lost her mom. They can't lose Amber too.

Holy crap, not to be that person, but I just changed your 2k likes to 3k!! I've never seen that happen before! Sorry 😅 And yes, I agree with your comment.
did anyone else consider themselves middle class until she started talking about the prices of those charm things
Yeah it's like "I'm not downtrodden by the rich, I can eat food! Oh.. oh right .. people own cars. Like three cars for one family. New. Okay then. Revolution hours"
Legit 😭😭
Finding out that people considered pandora a "middle" sort of cost was jarring. Like I knew they weren't expensive expensive, but in my circle they're... Nothing to sneeze at cost wise. Like people growing up would brag about them being a bit pricey. We all knew they were ugy tho
@@melaniekirkland6634 I kinda get where she's coming from. It's not that the prices for Pandora are like, show up and buy without another thought. But, if a middle class family wanted to really drop some cash on jewelry, 500$ is usually like a third of the cost of a single tiny colored gem on a thin chain. In my neck of the woods, the cheapest peices you'll find at a proper jewlery store are gonna be like 2000$ ish dollars.
@@Bostonpancacke Also worth noting that the majority of charms for Pandora bracelets cost way less than that. You can easily get cute charms for the bracelet for 50 euros
“Can’t a king just pick his successor? Is it really that big of a deal?” In fact it rather is a big deal, countless wars have been fought from the beginning of recorded history strictly around that single point. Likely more blood has been shed due to succession conflicts than due to anything else
Like the Onin War of Japan. Anyone can feel free to correct or add something, but by my understanding it went like this: The shogun at the time had no heir, so he persuaded his brother to abandon his life as a monk to become his heir. But then the shogun actually did have a child, so a war broke out over who should succeed the shogun: his brother, as was agreed, or the shogun's child, as was supposed to be in the first place.
House of the Dragon and also Game of Thrones are pretty much about wars to settle the question of Rightful Heirs
ETA: and GOT is loosely based on the real-world Wars of the Roses
Very true. Even monarchs with real power (past or present) can't really change that, even if they should want to for some reason. The bloodline for better or worse is the basis of the institution, and hence the power. Regardless of who wielded that power in practice, ministers, chancellors or such.
"Elective" monarchies have existed. But obviously they would never just elect someone unrelated that they happened to like. It would always be some grand noble with a bloodline of his own, preferably someone who had a claim due to being related to the ruling family somehow. More often than not the election would simply confirm the son of the late king as the new ruler.
Yeah, In history. But as it stands now, Royalty are just a bunch of fancy plutocrats. You could replace one with a horse, and I doubt anybody would be willing to go to war over it.
Jenny clearly isn't a monarchy nerd. Most monarchs do not have the power to name their successors. And historically, male-only succession (Salic Law / agnatic primogeniture) was very common in continental European monarchies. It's still used in Liechtenstein today.
He asks about Emily like he's expecting to find out she's adopted too, but does Richard not remember the queen being pregnant?

Christmas Prince 12: The Queen has poisoned the king’s eggnog and marries his cousin after his funeral
This is intercut with scenes of heartwarming holiday traditions such as caroling and putting up lights around the royal palace as if it's a middleclass Midwestern McMansion, as well as a disturbing scene in which they bingewatch Netflix holiday movies where the XPCU (X-mas Prince Cinematic Universe) is explicitly referenced
That’s only a few degrees away from being the setup for a really funny hamlet retelling set in the CPCU (Christmas Prince Cinematic Universe)
If movies are going to create absolute monarchies, at least make them competent at their job. Otherwise, I’m probably going to root for the peasants to revolt.
Either way the peasants should rise up.
Me, about to click on a 30 min take on a film I have neither seen nor spared a moment of thought to before this moment: _spill the tea sis_

This is me when it comes to every video Jenny has ever made.
The young princess has access to Pandora brand jewelry because the precious metals are mined by slaves and assembled in sweatshops in Aldovia, for export to the US.
So Aldovia is in Thailand?
It is Thailand in every month but December
Come for the lady boys, stay for the eggnog!
There is a a person out there that is absolutely beaming that you have acknowledged all the work they did with the subtle colour theory for this movie. And for that, you are a god damn saint Jenny.
Honestly, out of everything in this tin foil hat review, that color theory actually seems plausible. Give the main character a vibrant color scheme contrasted against the drab background, then show that color scheme bleeding into the other characters as they become closer to her.
I watched this video right before watching the third movie for the first time, and the way I was able to predict that the foreign king and queen were not the enemies based on the fact that the queen was wearing red when she came out of the limo. Jenny is a genius.
The writers of this movie need to get trapped in a island with Josh Hutchison
"Instead of keeping it in … the fire."
I burst out laughing so loud there are dogs barking at the neighbors now.
In the finale of the trilogy we will discover that Amber and Simon are a Christmas Dyad who must call on all the Ghosts of Christmas Past to defeat the resurrected clone of The Grinch, and then snog.
And Richard used to be a drug smuggler and Emily might be force-sensitive but no-one really cares.
OMG YES
I love the idea that the one department who showed up for the assignment was costumes. That they worked to tell a better story than the one in the script.
I'm endlessly amazed at how I can listen to Jenny talk about movies I will never care about for30-50 minutes and still thoroughly enjoy it
Books and movies I will never read or watch. But I LOVE her reviews of them!
Yeah I watched her nearly hour long review of the Avatar theme park. Which I don't care about at all. I've never even been to a Disney park.

Like I was always say, instead of just complaining about problems in a movie, turn it into a theory.

Huh. I wonder if one could work Suicide Squad over by making it a theory.
Possibly, but the editing is bad. Unless you're gonna say there is a glitch in the matrix type one.
However, this movie seems to be purposefully cohesive in it's choices. Suicide Squad just seemed lazy and also looks like it may of gone through development hell.
I like the idea of a theory maybe fixing bad movies, but at the same time, I'd rather people learn to make better movies. Or at least cohesive ones.
A FILM theory, thanks for watching
26:44 I love the way Jenny says "... but what can I do? I'm just *THE KING* ."
I just can't get over the fact that in this franchise that's supposed to be light Christmas romance movies that moms can watch without thinking about it too hard, the second movie goes fairly deeply (for a movie anyway) into the policy wonk details of an economic crisis. It would be like if Love, Actually had a subplot where someone saves the day with Modern Monetary Theory
You'd be surprised with how many of these made-for-tv "Hallmark" romcoms are actually pretty dark if you start to analyze what you're watching.
The entire series is inspired by the fall of Russian monarchy. A weak, inexperienced monarch hiding from the misery of his country in the luxurious celebrations of royal lifestyle. In the upcoming movie, the Aldovian People's Army seizes control over Aldovia and the protagonists are executed by a firing squad. Only princess Emily manages to escape, hiding from the dictator's assassins for the rest of her life.
I tingle at the thought.
Where she loses her memory and ends up in an orphanage until she's 18 to travel with two con men to find her biological family before fighting off a decaying sorcerer.

This video lives rent free in my head and was the cause of 14 year old me writing a Christmas Prince fanfic starring Simon about the downfall of the kingdom of Aldovia.
Edit: So I have gotten quite a few people requesting that I link this fanfic, so I decide to go digging through my Google docs to find it and put it out there. While I couldn't find a fully written out version, I did find a detailed outline with a surprising amount of planning, and a few drafts for some of the later parts of the fic. This video, the outline, and people's requests re-ignited my love of this fic concept, and since I vividly remember many of my old plans, I've decided to start writing it out proper and will post it on AO3.
I will not promise excellent quality or consistent updates, but I'm hoping to a least go pretty far with it, especially since it's going to be a lot more down to earth in terms of writing. I'll be adding the link soon, just as soon as I post the first chapter, which I'm working hard to get out ASAP. Hope you are okay with all that!
Edit 2: I posted the first chapter babes. Sorry it's boring. This is a slow burn, but it will get faster: archiveofourown.org/works/43893666/chapters/110362662

After finally watching these movies my favourite detail is the fact that: Simon is the best man at the Royal Wedding.
They don’t like him even at the start of t third movie, but when King Richard is asked who he wants standing next to him at the alter, his response is “that guy that tried to do a coup.”
Was it even really a coup? All simon did was reveal the truth of richard not being eligible for the throne.
Considering Richard is as interesting as dry wall, Simon's probably the only man he could ask.

A Christmas Prince 3 fan speculation: Richard doesnt understand inflation and paid for that stimulus by simply printing more money. The movie begins after a post-revolution and is a loose retelling of Anastasia.
I haven't seen the movie but I was so shocked by this in her video analysis. I mean I didn't expect the movie writers/producers to have a degree in economics but is this not just basic common knowledge that giving every person a lump sum of money is meaningless at best and a huge economic disaster at worst?????? Economic collapse of Germany that lead to the Nazi regime anyone????
Will a small white talking bat and a decaying sorcerer be included?
Considering the amount of people in the U.S. I see suggesting it all the time. I don't think it's common knowledge at all unfortunately.
I assume the prime minister was forced to give back the money with a massive fine or something.
But is Rasputin going to be changed at all
oh how i would love jenny to revisit this with the final movie but also dig into the netflix christmas cinematic universe
She did, on her Patreon!
Simon getting that horror-movie intro was the best part. You'd think he walked in with a chainsaw and a dozen Hell's Angels.
pretty disappointed Richard didn't run around looking for Amber then yell "Put out an Amber alert!"

Simon says that at like, the height of some tense moment, and all music cuts out.
It cuts to an over the shoulder pov from his perspective, and everyone is just leaning back and glaring at him

Fun fact, the actress who played Amber, Rose McIver, was Summer/Ranger Yellow on Power Rangers RPM back in 2009. And also my 8 year old self’s celebrity crush, but that’s not as important. Considering her other prominent roles include A Christmas Prince and The Lovely Bones, I’d say Power Rangers was her most influential role to date.
Edit/addendum: I completely forgot she was in iZombie which I did enjoy, but I think my Power Rangers comment was funny so I’m keeping it that way
Ok I know this is a year old but when Summer and Dylan have that really romantically charged moment and the whale zord rains all over them? Hoo.
The first season or two of iZombie, when they’re still trying to fit in as Regular Humans, play heavily on the theme of facades and their cost to those who must maintain them

As someone who has done a lot of costume design for theater and such, I will say that Jenny is spot on when it comes to the color theory and the color stories that a costume designer goes through when thinking about what colors go to whom.
Aldovia never really recovered from Soviet occupation during the Winter War. The national obsession with Christmas is a sort of massive nationwide denial. Half the houses are still just ruins behind their merry facades, and most people's backyards are just mass graves hastily covered with rubble and old Christmas trees. Aldovia's only successful business is a Christmas Ornament factory that also stamps assault rifles for Heckler & Koch.
