13:09 Who else thinks that the concept of mr. miagui seeking out and entraping the evils of the world in a glass bottle would have made for a FAR MORE interesting movie?! Am I alone in this thought?
It really was catchy and I remember my grandma and I watch this movie and I kinda enjoy it and sure this movie is not everyone’s cup of tea but it’s nostalgic for me because I watch this with my grandma before she passed away in 2007 and I was 7 years old at the time!
C I N N I N N I N N CINCINNATI. The best town in O H I O, Ohio USA. At first they called it Cincy but since Cincy is so Nati, they called it Cincinnati so they saaaaayyyy. That’s how my bro and I sang it anyways 🤷♂️
Is it ANY coincidence that this TV-Movie was made by Orion Pictures, the same company that brought us the Bill & Ted franchise starring our pal Keanu? Bill & Ted Movies: EXCELLENT!!! THIS Movie: BOGUS!!!
why did the toy maker have an army of toy soldiers in the first place if "toys cant protect you" and maybe that explains the potion of evil he has. He needed her, to "believe in the toys" to grant them power. Dude this movie is fuckin' weird.
2:09 the credits here name 'Leslie Bricusse' as the man responsible for music and lyrics. Which means the man who gave us such songs as 'Goldfinger', 'You Only Live Twice', 'Candyman' and 'Pure Imagination' among others is also responsible for the timeless classic that is 'The Cincinnati Song'.
"Now Egg-roll, now Fried-Rice, now Mushu with Ham! On won-ton-on dumpling, and Mu-Gu-Gai-Pan!!" This line killed me..... I'm sorry for misspelling literally everything.
Funny thing here is that these are all foods associated with CHINESE food, and with Pat Morita being Japanese kinda seems pretty racist at first blush. But, in the end, this food Americans call "Chinese food" was actually mostly created by a Japanese-American during the internment of World War 2, so I guess I have to give the NC some good props for his knowledge of General Tso's history.
Well I think someday I wanna go to a authentic Chinese resturant one day just to enjoy true Chinese cuisine. I know I enjoy the Chinese-American food as well but someday I wanna try some authentic Chinese food.
Funinightmare or people who just like being scared by creepy animal costumes and a guy who runs innocent people over with his house. And love Drew Barrymore.
weird thing the "barn" he put Paris on is a water mill at singleton open air museum, sussex, England :D sorry i used to work there so felt honor bound to spread the knowledge
Pinkie Pie Bah, it'd take more than a little dizziness to make me yuke all over myself. Then again the "yuking" can be easily prevented by rolling down said hill on an empty stomach. On an unrelated note, why did the creators of MLP decide to name the character, of which your pic is clearly based on, "Pinkie"? I mean no disrespect of course but, if it's just because she's pink of hue then quite frankly that just strikes me as a bit...lazy on their part. I don't mean to come off as arrogant or anything but, at least the character in mine was named after famed Hollywood film director Ridley Scott who made "Alien" in 1979, the prime inspiration for the Metroid series itself. It's just...*Sigh* I'm sorry, I've gone on long enough. You get my point. -_-
Despite it being bad, I really like most of the actors. It really looks like they're trying hard with these performances, and they play their parts well, despite not being written as well.
Wow! I never thought I'd find this! I saw Babes in Toyland one night at my Uncle and Aunt's house back when I was 8 and it always left weird memories I was never sure where they were from. I thought I'd never know, but now I do! This is an awesome recollection for me of a weird movie! Thanks Critic!
I used to love this movie, but then the universe said "Over my dead Butt" and showed me the original versions. Lets just say, I haven't watched this version in many years.
Compared to the Disney one, I gotta handle this version for Barnaby's costume design. The use of feathers does work to make him look like a raven or a vulture, while Disney went with a more classic outfit, this one gave whatever tiny budjet it had on Barnaby.
I watched this as a kid, I still have it somewhere on vhs... and good thing too because it NEVER runs on tv anymore, I suspect because everyone involved with making it won't let it.
Ah, this movie, the reason how I learned to spell C-I-N-C-I-N-N-A-T-I Cincinnati! even though I live in Illinois. That song became this earworm that's never left me since 3rd grade.
I remember re-watching this and thinking how Drew looked hung over the whole time. The look on Keanu's face says "I'll be careful with my choices. Morpheus, what is this?"
I’ve even watched the 2 -1/2 hour long director’s cut version of this movie so I can confirm: No they never explain what made Lisa “grow up to fast”. There doesn’t appear to be a father present but it’s never acknowledged
sunnyraven I've wanted to see him as a recurring character for every Christmas. Always try to get the critic finally do that Christmas Carol parody. He's gotta be one of the more funnier characters they had for no reason. "if you come near me again, I'm calling the cops!" "HA! Jokes on you! They're already looking for me!"
Everytime I hear "Babes im Toyland" I think of the one I was shown as a kid (I'm not kidding)... March of the Wooden Soldiers, which is an alternative title to the 1934 movie Babes in Toyland starring Laurel and Hardy. I shit you not.
7:34 Also if you get overun by a 20 ft. wide bowling ball, you won't simply get knocked over - it'll rightout flatten you! Even if it's hollow! And wouldn't all his furniture get thrown around in the process, being damaged and maybe crushing Barnaby himself? That's one stupid move...
I remember this movie! It was aired on XHGC (Canal 5) a number of times, usually on Sundays. Seeing it how breaks and rethreads "Babes in Toyland"'s original story reminds me of 2015's "Pan" - The one with Hugh Jackman as Blackbeard and with Garrett Hedlund as an heroic Captain Hook from Tennessee. In fact... let me ideate a remake of this one: Kit Harington as Jack, Daisy Ridley as Mary, James Corden as Georgie, Richard Roxburgh as Barnaby/The Manager. Change the setting from Cincinnati to Newcastle-upon-Tyne. Put Joe Wright (The same guy who directed "Pan") as director.
Jill Schoelen, who played Drew Barrymore's sister, was dating Keanu Reeves when they made this, that's interesting. She did horror movies like The Stepfather, Cutting Class, the 1989 Phantom Of The Opera, and Popcorn. She was also in the 1993 cable TV film When A Stranger Calls Back and it's been given the Rifftrax treatment. I liked her and I thought she was really nice-looking!

16:42 As someone who lived in Cincinnati from age 7 to age 11, let me explain why a native of that city is automatically immune to toxins that turn one evil. Cincinnati is the most evil place on the planet. Barnaby's toxins were no worse to a Cincinnatian than a drop of glow-in-the-dark paint would be to a Chernobyl survivor. How evil is Cincy? I'll put it this way, if I owned Cincinnati and Hell, and had to live in one of them, I'd rent out Cincinnati and live in Hell!
Hey! That's not the land of furries! Fursuits are often much more detailed! Why, they're sometimes totally anatomically correct! ... .... ....... Why do I get the sneaking suspicion this will be interpreted in a way other than which I intend?
Olivier Tilanus Better yet: Step 1: Receive a message from God Step 2: Carefully choose your victims Step 3: Murder some people (this can be done either directly or indirectly, so long as it's done to mimic the Seven Deadly Sins) Step 4: Find a bloke with a good life and who loves his wife (preferably one of the detectives or cops who will be inevitably chasing you by now) and become envious Step 5: Kill his wife and put her head in the box Step 6: Force him to open the box
Two earlier versions exist: Walt Disney's 1961 version with Annette Funicello, Ed Wynn, and Ray Bolger, with then-Disney-standby Gene Sheldon and a few others.. MGM/Hal "Laurel and Hardy/Little Racals" Roach's version (which Leonard Maltin prefers-per his 1973/etc. Disney book, the seminal "The Disney Films) with Laurel and Hardy.
This is the first time I've seen this episode since watching Wander Over Yonder. Now the Ghost's toddler behavior at the end totally reminds me of Lord Hater, and it's pretty adorable!
I used to watch this movie all the time at my babysitter's house growing up. I was born and grew up in Cincinnati so I always thought it was so cool that it took place in the same city I lived in. I've watched it again as an adult and it's just weird as hell. Plus the weird one-eyed bird monster thing is just plain creepy, idk how Drew Barrymore did it.
You know, one of these days, I really would like to see Doug take on the 1997 animated film. I know it's direct to video, but it's pretty clear Doug will gladly review those now.
The scene where the one-eyed bird accidentally snips the ropes was so poorly done that when I saw the movie as a kid, I assumed the bird was intentionally letting them go. Which made it pretty confusing when they paint over his eye and lock him in a trunk right after.
13:09 Who else thinks that the concept of mr. miagui seeking out and entraping the evils of the world in a glass bottle would have made for a FAR MORE interesting movie?! Am I alone in this thought?
But that isnt one of the many true meanings of Christmas.
julie martinez Wernt we all.
Honestly I'm still stuck on 3:10 I mean, who doesn't want to see Bill & Ted learn the true meaning of Kwanzaa? (insert air guitar)
Sounds like an episode of Friday the 13th: The Series.

Humpty Dumpty was BY FAR the best actor of the movie.
redloiyu654jay A regular Sean Bean.

Had by far the most brilliant performance, Oscar-worthy.
He was totally snubbed at the Oscars that year.
SuperSparrow45 yeah I can't believe he didn't win that Oscar
I genuinely think the thumbnail for this video was cooler then the actual movie.
ziammarino I didn’t get how it relates to the movie he’s reviewing. Unless it was a Keanu Reeves reference
@Deoxys
It's an image of Keanu from The Matrix surrounded by what appears to be the toxic gas and toy bullets from Babes in Toyland.
We all did
I would totally watch a Matrix/Babes in Toyland crossover.
Nah it wasn't that bad... don't be so elithist XD
Even for a bait this wasn't funny
- ""genuinely think"" oh c'mon XD -
I saw this movie as a kid without any knowledge of the title or recollection of the plot. All I could remember for YEARS is that damn Cincinnati song.
It IS really catchy.
It really was catchy and I remember my grandma and I watch this movie and I kinda enjoy it and sure this movie is not everyone’s cup of tea but it’s nostalgic for me because I watch this with my grandma before she passed away in 2007 and I was 7 years old at the time!

At least this movie was a start for Keanu.
If Bill & Ted was excellent, what does that make John Wick?

Everyone knows the Toymaker is secretly the true main villain. Seriously who keeps a potion of pure evil.
Thats a good point.
why did the toy maker have an army of toy soldiers in the first place if "toys cant protect you" and maybe that explains the potion of evil he has. He needed her, to "believe in the toys" to grant them power. Dude this movie is fuckin' weird.
he's obviously very flawed.
rayblack2004 the whole movie is flawed
Where else was he going to keep it?
12:18
Hard to believe that’s John Wick riding that Barbie themed bumper car.
Mr. Miyagi as Santa Claus?
I gotta see this right now!!!!!!!
"Heh-hey! It's Santa Craus!"
Snow on snow off.
Well, why not. After all, in the Disney film, he was played by Uncle Albert from Mary Poppins.
It’s on TH-cam. The director’s cut that I found is 2 hours and 25 minutes long.
I'll go get dr Frankenstein
21:36 Admit it, seeing those toy soldiers firing real rifles was pretty awesome. It's like Toyland's own Civil War reenactment.
This comment is 5 years old. I admit that and i also admit i Love that scene and the critics reaction to it.
Damn, this movie looks like it was made with about 50 dollars.
and 40 of that being the price of the Zylophone...
Well welcome to the earlier episodes
@@maxcorben5274 he means the Babes in Toyland movie, not the episode.
Well it was a made for television movie.

That bowling ball bit gets me every time.
*giant bowling ball comes into view*
NC: what the hell
Georgie: You see that bowling ball?
NC: no. Where.
XD
I just can’t believe he glossed over the fact that Barnaby randomly rides it through Toyland, flattening people.
So THIS is where Neo ended up after defeating Smith. WOW !
Toms in Wonderland
And before surfing with Patrick Swayze, he gave them a startling revelation, "I AM AN F B I AGENT!!"
Woah
Yeah, Will Smith shouldn't have turned down The Matrix.....Oh, you meant AGENT Smith!
UGH! Uh-uh.
The land of Oz looks magical and that was made in the late 30s, this is made in the mid 80s and looks like it had budget cuts. That is sad.
Dan Rodriguez wrong the wizard of oz was actually made in 1939
@@darkbubblepenguin9865 No, it technically came out in 1939. It was made from 1938 to 1939.
It's just a cheap television movie made in time for the Christmas season.
This whole movie is probably the fever dream of Drew Barrymore as she dies of blunt force trauma and hypothermia after nailing that tree.
Fuck yeah for that ending!
Then how come it ends with her being back home?
Wouldn't have ended with a funeral?
So the same plot as The Shack?
Featuring Keanu Reeves

Babes in Toyland is like the film you show to people who think The Wizard of Oz is stupid and too kid friendly
Funinightmare or people who just like being scared by creepy animal costumes and a guy who runs innocent people over with his house. And love Drew Barrymore.
Yeah this is similar to the wizard of oz but wizard of oz is better especially because its older

I'm from Cincinnati and I can confirm that there are some pretty nasty fumes coming off the Ohio river

Isn't that the city where the river used to catch on fire? Or am I thinking of Cleveland?
thats Cleveland, still wouldn't go swimming there tho
No offense, but I think Columbus is a better city than Cincinnati
@@baraness24 it also the name of a beer
It's amazing that the toy soldiers scene made the same part of "March of the Wooden Soldiers" (decades older) look high tech.
I wish the Critic would do a Rankin/Bass movie.
He did The King and I: The Animated Movie.
ohhhh, yeah. I was thinking of the stop-motion holiday ones specifically. Like Santa Claus is Coming to Town or Rudolph's Shiny New Year.

I expected something better from a movie called "Babes in Toyland".
oh yes, yes... very good...
If you know what I mean. Bow chicka bow wow.
(speaking of the title) if you put it on close captioning the first time he said "Babes in Toyland" the sub titles say "baby the toilet"
i would rather watch "Toys in Babeland". ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Seen it. Not worth a rental.
I used to love this movie, but then the universe said "Over my dead Butt" and showed me the original versions. Lets just say, I haven't watched this version in many years.

Cincinnati is the most evil place on the planet. Barnaby's toxins were no worse to a Cincinnatian than a drop of glow-in-the-dark paint would be to a Chernobyl survivor. How evil is Cincy? I'll put it this way, if I owned Cincinnati and Hell, and had to live in one of them, I'd rent out Cincinnati and live in Hell!
Wow....that must be preeeety bad
As a Cincinnati native from birth to present day, I can confirm this is accurate.
Cleveland is even worse
Hey! That's not the land of furries! Fursuits are often much more detailed!
Why, they're sometimes totally anatomically correct!
...
....
....... Why do I get the sneaking suspicion this will be interpreted in a way other than which I intend?
Shut the fuck up, furfag.
Why would they need to be anatomically correct? Unless you were planning to use them for disgusting and degenerate behavior. Fucking nasty furfag
@@LOOMING_WRAITH_OF_BAD_OMEN GTFO, normie.
The Humpty Dumpty part had me rolling 😂
I will give anything for someone to play that "Cincinnati" song to Keanu Reeves. His reaction would probably be the best thing ever.
It’s weird watching this after Reeves stared in John Wick.
I want to see him reunited with one of those goofy ass Mario karts.
Gotta love stumbling across a Nostalgia Critic I've never seen
Wow a box
Step 1: cut a hole in the box
Step 2: put your junk in that box
Step 3: make her open the box
"My Dick in a Box!"
Olivier Tilanus Better yet:
Step 1: Receive a message from God
Step 2: Carefully choose your victims
Step 3: Murder some people (this can be done either directly or indirectly, so long as it's done to mimic the Seven Deadly Sins)
Step 4: Find a bloke with a good life and who loves his wife (preferably one of the detectives or cops who will be inevitably chasing you by now) and become envious
Step 5: Kill his wife and put her head in the box
Step 6: Force him to open the box
Did.... Did you just bring the entire plot of Seven into this?
Takkuri Himare Yes, yes I did
AdoreSinging394% WHAT'S IN THE BOX!?
I'm ashamed for laughing at that "Santa Crause" Joke
14:36 gets me every time. The voice he uses. 😂
That's John Wick everybody.
Keanu Reeves?! Well we all gotta start somewhere.
Two earlier versions exist:
Walt Disney's 1961 version with Annette Funicello, Ed Wynn, and Ray Bolger, with then-Disney-standby Gene Sheldon and a few others..
MGM/Hal "Laurel and Hardy/Little Racals" Roach's version (which Leonard Maltin prefers-per his 1973/etc. Disney book, the seminal "The Disney Films) with Laurel and Hardy.
This is the first time I've seen this episode since watching Wander Over Yonder. Now the Ghost's toddler behavior at the end totally reminds me of Lord Hater, and it's pretty adorable!
Soooo this was basically Wizard of Oz Christmas version in a way
critic has a dirty mind 12:59
as a resident of Cincinnati I can confirm we do breath in evil and develop an immunity
25:25 "killer snowman movie"
Jack Frost? Yes plox...
12:25
I'M OFF TO FIND MY DIGNITY!!!
XD
I used to watch this movie all the time at my babysitter's house growing up. I was born and grew up in Cincinnati so I always thought it was so cool that it took place in the same city I lived in. I've watched it again as an adult and it's just weird as hell. Plus the weird one-eyed bird monster thing is just plain creepy, idk how Drew Barrymore did it.
You know, one of these days, I really would like to see Doug take on the 1997 animated film. I know it's direct to video, but it's pretty clear Doug will gladly review those now.
“Maybe you’ll regret it, but you’ll have fun regretting it!!”
“Well - YESS!!!”
17:22 The whole scene with the cat!
20:50, HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
The scene where the one-eyed bird accidentally snips the ropes was so poorly done that when I saw the movie as a kid, I assumed the bird was intentionally letting them go. Which made it pretty confusing when they paint over his eye and lock him in a trunk right after.
