Thank you for speaking up and stating your opinions clearly. So many youtubers are so afraid to alienate even ONE viewer they always tiptoe around serious issues like that so strongly that it's nice to know that someone you watch is... legit, ya know? I hope that when the president watches this one he takes it into strong consideration, as he should.
Oh and one quick note about one thing you mentioned on Jenette McCurdy, she makes it clear in her autobiography and interview that EVERYONE knew about her mother. Maybe not all the details but the way her mother treated her, the eating disorders, the substance abuse, they were all well known and often encouraged by the studios, especially at Nick.
I was 12 on 9/11 and in the hospital for kidney failure. Some of the nurses came in and watched the news with me. All the channels were just playing the footage over and over again and eventually I was like, listen I’m going through a personal trauma as well, and I’d love to watch some cartoons or just something without people dying
That is horrific! Honestly, I have never understood adults who chose to show the disaster to their children live. I remember being 10 going to school being mostly ignorant to how bad the situation was. My friend (whos family was super republican) said that her parents woke her from sleep to watch people leaping to their deaths. Like....why? I then proceeded to be called a terrorist at school even though I'm only half Pakistani and grew up in a non conservative American household. I blame the parents who tried to shove the politics and racism of it down their kids throats.
@@Jess-Rabbit well I did grow up conservative, and I can tell you that conservative parents LOVE to traumatize their children. I’m sorry you had to go through that! I was out of school for like 6 months, so I mostly missed how the students reacted
First, let me say that I'm a 52yo Black/straight/married man and I know I'm not the target audience but I love your videos, and as a Progressive, I appreciate your seamless messaging on issues in society. Second, the gentleman playing "Chuck Horner" is a dear friend of mine and he's a genuinely good human. His name is Troy Evans, and he's a Vietnam vet who's lived a "Forrest Gump" type of life. He's an amazing person and a legendary character actor. Everyone knows his face, but no one knows his name.
I think Nick's target audience is anyone who enjoys his videos and isn't a dick to people in the comments. I'm 40 and feel a bit old watching some of these, but I don't really care when I'm laughing my ass off. All are welcome here. Thank you for letting us know about Troy Evans, He is 100% one of those actors. He's one of those people who you can tell is a great person in real life even when he's deep in character.
I also love Nicks channel for the way he can seamlessly go from making a joke about wanting to be dominated by a Navy midshipman to sounding like a guest on Democracy Now.
My mom took us to Disney in 2001 because the prices dropped so low. She checked us out of school early on Halloween and we took a 45 min airplane ride to LA (cause tickets were so low); I was dressed as Victoria from Cats, and an airport worker gave me a vanilla tootsie roll. That was the only Halloween candy I got and it was a phenomenal Disney trip. Lines were short. Went on some over and over without any wait. Such a fun trip. I always kind of associate Disney with 9/11 so seeing this is exquisite. 10/10 weird nostalgia.
This isn’t the first time I’ve heard people taking trips to places after a serious event happened! And honestly, the place and surrounding areas is probably the safest place right after.
@fungi5350 it's honestly a really helpful training but getting it one time in a military environment is not going to do anything. They need reintegration therapy for at least 5 years depending on how long they were in ❤
My first thought when I saw your look was, "he looks like the gayest starburst." and I mean that in the best way possible. I think it's the eye shadow and I love it.
@Aelffwynn sounds like a great book for the kids' section of the library, but you just know it would be banned. Science tells us Starbursts are heterosexual.
“He’ll be returning straight home on September 12th, 2001. And there’s nothing, with any historical precedence, that could happen within the next few days to stop him.” September 11th, 2001 “Aw man…”
Being a kid on 9/11 was a wild trip… I was in 6th grade math trying desperately to finish my homework before it was due when the teacher rolled in a TV on a cart and said a plane had hit the World Trade Center and we needed to watch the news. I was thinking, ok sad but idk what the World Trade Center is and I gotta do this long division. Then the second plane hit and even I knew shit was getting real at that point. But ya know still needed to finish my homework. Teacher was like, no watch the news this is history! Then 20 minutes later she was like, ok kids well that was crazy but we have a field trip to the modern art museum planned and I’ll be dammed if an unprecedented terrorist attack stops us! Then we just went and looked at art… like nothing happened lol.
That's so bizarre. I'm thankful my parents kept me home from school because our time zone meant I hadn't gone yet when it happened. Others have told me of this exact thing of teachers bringing in the tv and putting it on for them to watch the entire rest of the day. I cannot fathom how anyone would think that was okay to purposefully expose little kids to. I accidentally walked into the living room seeing my parents watching it, and then they pushed me back to my bedroom and shielded me from it. History yes... but little children shouldn't have to witness this if they don't have to at that age.
I had really long hair as a kid and lol'ed at that. (I was raised by my grandparents and went to a Christian school... so yeah, it was a weird situation 😂).
It’s nuts how even after all these years, reading the dates count down to 9/11 sends a sickening rush of adrenaline through my veins. I feel like it almost scares me more the older I get? Just surreal
I’m not American, I had just turned 11, had gotten my own aquarium and when I came home from school my mom greeted me with “something bad happened in America, a plane flew into a skyscraper”. And the tv was on. My parents never turned on the tv during the day except for the Tour de France and the Olympic Games. My main concern was that a plane would crash into our house (in a 1000 people town on the other side of the world) cause there’d be no way I could save my new fish 😅
lol NICK i feel SO CALLED OUT with the hair length comment my hair was probably longer than that when i was her age, but my spawn point kept it in braids constantly because it was very unruly i wasn't homeschooled, but i feel like i had that vibe for sure lol she also wouldn't let me cut it until i was like 13, when she angrily chopped it off because i asked to get it cut one too many times so i guess you're right on the money when it comes to that hair and bad moms lmaoooo
I get so triggered by long, long hair on young girls. It reminds me of when I had my hair all the way down past my butt....but I had to have a surgery to break & reset my legs and put in a hip spica (waist down body) cast. I woke up from surgery, threw up all in my hair and they had to chop it off and then put me in this weird industrial kitchen sink looking bathtub, UPSIDE DOWN so my cast wouldn't get wet, and it was so painful and scary. I threw up again in the bath...in my hair again and was terrified they'd cut all my hair off. I think of that every damn time I see long hair lmfao
In high school (1998-2002) I straightened my curly hair every morning, then 2" barrel curled JUST the front pieces (and set up scaffodling to hold up my coke can bangs)... never did a brush meet those shiny tendrils
they really said 'look how great the military is we should support them' meanwhile most people who saw this were like '...we won't be able to go to our loved ones funerals or see our families ever again? no thanks.'
I group this movie with another weirdly serious DCOM "The Color of Friendship"-- for the longest time, I really only remembered watching it as a sort of fever dream and fully believed I just made it up; or that it at least wasn't actually a Disney movie. But nope. The early 00's was a wild time...
I LOVED The Color of Friendship though. Was always so psyched to watch it and my favorite part was the makeover montage at the mall - probably the one non-serious moment. 😂 I also remember thinking that the character Piper was so cool lol. (Its actually based on a true story, which is wild)!
@@xletragedyx DEF not in terms of quality, I agree. But just in that "wait... did I just imagine this, or did this really happen" type of sense. I unironically love Color Of Friendship, esp after figuring out it WAS in fact real and rewatching it as an adult lol
Gotta admit, I was at the 9/11 museum in New York days ago and it brought up all the raw emotions and tragedy of that day and reminded me how human it all was, how many peoples' days and lives were changed, even decades later, how people pulled together in the moment to help each other even at risk to themselves, how for a brief time the whole WORLD felt like it pulled together in a moment of shared empathy. That was a beautiful and bittersweet feeling and I'm glad I took the time to take all that in. And then I remembered how it was leveraged into a senseless war that just sowed the seeds for future tragedies and how no real lessons were learned, and that it was all used to make schlock like this. The victims of 9/11 deserved better than child exploitative green screen bullshit.
I worked on a psych unit, and there's a locked unit for when people first get there / can't be trusted in the open unit. There's NOTHING back there except their plastic brick beds attached to the floor, one television behind a ton of plexiglass that you can't hear unless you're smashed up against said plexiglass and crayons / paper as long as someone is out there to supervise. One day I brought paper and crayons out, and one of the pts made a paper airplane. We were having a blast flying it around to each other when another staff member came out and scolded us for it. Apparently that's not allowed either 🙄 it was such a horrible environment / atmosphere. Just made me laugh in a sad way when Nick was talking about how lame and mundane they are. The pts couldn't even play with those. I just quit recently, and im not mad about it. Now I'm kinda stressing about the whole being jobless thing, but comments like the one Nick made makes me feel pretty confident I made the right decision lol. So much shit went on there that just wasn't right.
My knowledge of such psych ward practices kept me from ever seeking help because I was scared of being dehumanized and abused. The ones in my area were/still are especially infamous
@@darkninjafirefox ours was really not much different than our county jail, other than the fact that you could have some of your own clothes and ask for snacks up to once an hour. Especially the locked unit. There wasn't as much violence, and there's a looottt more cnas / rns per pt, so you're watched significantly better. It's just sad, especially when you have people in there who are violent or angry with someone who's just sad / devastated and tried to off themselves or something. Imo, it was more just to have someone watch you to make sure you're not guna hurt yourself / others while the hospital gets you stable on some sort of antipsychotic, whether you like it or not.
i can't wrap my head around the ending of 'i'm 12ish years old and i want my dad out of the military and back home with me because i miss him. but then War Happened and now i want him to stay in the military instead of being home safe'
I lived in Northern Virginia and they showed us that shit on TVs. More than a few kids at my school lost family members. Then we watched a docu later in the year and got to see and hear people jumping out of windows and splatting on the ground. Luckily for those of us who didn't know, our helpful teacher explained that the loud thuds were human lives ending on the pavement. I was 13. No trauma resulted, of course! Perfectly normal psychological development from there on.
Yeah, it was an obvious cash grab. Plain and simple. There was another movie that came out shortly after the attacks. So obvious they were milking that fresh patriotism, fear and grief for sweet, sweet money
Chanel N°5, reminds me of my great aunt, who was a maternal figure. I used to help her w her orchid garden as a small child. I would go w her to Macy's to buy the perfume doing errands.
How was The Color of Friendship not one of the movies with a parental warning when they say ..."the n word with the hard r"... multiple times and the entire movie deals with the South African apartheid, yet Wendy Wu has a parental warning?
@@ViguLiviu In the scene where Mahree learns she'll be going to the same school as Piper they both say it. Piper says it first and then Mahree says it. I suppose it's possible that they censored Mahree saying it when it aired on TV though.
nick, you make forty minutes feel like ten. i’m really happy to see you uploading content more consistently again, you’re easily one of my favorite youtubers and i’ve been missing your uploads. i hope you’re having an awesome pride month
Disney used to take risks with their TV movies..now they’re all just sequels, retellings, reboots, or adaptations of books 😔 the fact that this movie exists is insane but at least it had SOMETHING interesting behind its premise
I was in 2nd grade and lived on base in California when the attacks happened (Fort Ord/Presidio/DLI). When you were talking about the kids watching and not knowing if they’d be attacked too, that’s exactly what it was like. I was an Army brat at a school for Army brats and our elementary school had a concert where we sang patriotic songs like “I’m Proud to be an American” for our military families. I think it was within like a month of the attacks but I’m not 100% on the timeline. I do remember seeing a lot of adults crying for the first time though. A lot of my core memories from that age are of terrorism-related fears and military propaganda. It was such a weird time to be a kid and we were pretty much expected to just roll with it without any long term effects. Thank you for sharing your stance on Palestine and speaking up for the people there. I can’t imagine how we’ll look back on this in 20 years.
I experienced 9/11 during my childhood. It was horrifying. But all things considered, I think I would still rather have grown up then, compared to growing up in the 2010s/2020s with rampant school shootings, covid, and kids' brains being rotted from too much social media.
As someone who grew up near the Pentagon when this shit went down (I was in 7th grade art class and none of us had heard the news, but suddenly kid after kid was getting called to the office because their parents were there to pick them up early).... let's f*king gooooo. The way Hollywood immediately started capitalizing on that sh*t was crazy lol Also, a couple years ago, when I was still teaching high school, our f*cking psycho drama teacher decided to commemorate the anniversary by having her students perform a 9/11 news reenactment... this was right after we returned to school in person (so everyone was already a bit traumatized from lockdown and the ongoing pandemmy), and our morning announcements were on video chat in the homerooms (instead of our traditional in-person auditorium). So everyone was subjected to this surprise, somewhat realistic performance, complete with ACTUAL FOOTAGE OF THE ATTACK, at f*cking 8AM at the START of the work day. This is the same (white) drama teacher who told students (at a predominantly Black school) that she's actually _not_ racist because she did a mission trip to Africa one time. 🙃🙃 OH. And she also, at a teacher appreciation after work event, STUCK HER UNWASHED FINGER IN A DIP, LICKED HER FINGER TO SEE WHAT THE DIP WAS, THEN PROCEEDED TO FILL HER PLATE, TOUCHING THE REST OF THE FOODS WITH HER LICKED FINGER. Can't believe she outlasted me, but maybe that's because she's an insane person. (PS, for anyone wondering, I ABSOLUTELY loved my students and my school. I just burned out and had ZERO work-life balance, barely had the energy or time to even feed myself dinner, let alone have a social life, hobbies, or time for my own family. Oh, and I was a damn expert in my field, worked my a$$ off and still got paid absolute dogsh*t. I miss the f*ck out of the kids, and just went back to watch this year's seniors graduate! Many a bittersweet tear was shed 💜)
What is it with weird drama teachers 😭 When I was 8th grade, we were doing the To Kill a Mockingbird play, and we were sitting around going person to person and reading from the script. This was a mostly white school, we had only one person of color in our group, and no one was comfortable with saying the n word that was in the script. But our drama teacher kept pushing for us to say it. We all kept refusing but she kept trying to encourage us by telling us we wouldn't get in trouble. Finally a boy in the group yelled at her about it and she stopped. But I always found it so weird that she was trying so hard to get a group of 14 year olds to say a slur despite us repeatedly telling her that we did not want to.
I hate all things to do w 9/11, and i wasnt gonna click on this video, until i looked down and saw your name under it lmao. I thought 'nick is the ONLY person who could make me watch a 9/11 movie review'
My parents took my family to see the wreckage in 2002. I was barely 6 so I just remember lines of people walking by and missing posters everywhere. I didn’t really process this until I was in my 20s and realized it was kinda heavy for a kid.
I’m just young enough to remember 9/11. I was in 1st grade and my dad called my school as soon as he heard about the first tower and said he needed to come pick me up; he had a breakfast meeting that morning around 9am CST so he was still at home and my school was less than a mile away. Both my parents drove to pick me up and take me home. I remember them both struggling to explain to me what was going but try to do so in a way that wouldn’t confuse or overwhelm a 6-7 year old. My strongest memory is all three of us (I’m an only child) and our two dogs sitting in front of the TV, me holding on to my schnauzer, who was just a puppy at the time, and both my parents holding me and kind and shielding my eyes and eventually turning the volume down so only they could hear and watch it. I fell asleep in my parents arms.
Fun fact: both Hayden Panettiere and Jennette McCurdy played girls who killed someone! McCurdy on "CSI:Crime Scene Investigation" Hayden on one of the soaps she was on (before puberty set in and she killed someone on "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit").
I loved Kingdom Hearts as a kid and wanted to watch/play what else the voice actors had been in. Hayden played Kairi and this was a weird movie to watch with no context as a child :)
I was living on a Naval base outside of DC when 9/11 happened. Still one of the scariest days of my life. My grandpa and my best friend’s dad were both at the Pentagon. Cell service was down all day so we didn’t know if they were okay until hours later when they got home.
I was 7 when 9/11 happened and I didn't sleep mostly for like 2 weeks. I'd just cry myself to sleep cause I knew everyone couldn't be fine after that. I'm Canadian but it was still all over the place
It's incredibly hard to make a video like this about such heavy topics and navigate it with respect while making jokes, and you somehow did it flawlessly. You're an amazing creator and it's so clear that you put tons of work and thought into the content you put out. Thanks Nick!!!
I know I watched this movie multiple times as a kid, I watched a lot of Disney channel and all the dcoms, and I think I just like... forgot.. that it's partially about 9/11. I think it's because my adult brain would have never thought disney channel would do a 9/11 movie. Like what if in cadet Kelly, instead of the gun-spinning routine for the climax, they get deployed to iraq. I just remembered this as that movie where Hayden panettiere goes to "bring your kid to work day" on an airship carrier
I was negative 1 years old when 9/11 happened so i obviously have no personal childhood story of how it felt or where i was and stuff. But ive learned a lot about it and i had NO IDEA this was a thing, I am SAT rn with snacks
I was 11 on 9/11 and going to a fundie school in california. We spent it in church all fucking day without fully knowing wtf was going on. The propaganda machine was pretty strong there needless to say. my mom and stepdad bought cellphones that day. and i saw the videos of jumpers WITH SOUND YIPPEEEEEE thanks pops
I'm always impressed by your ability to weave serious topics into these videos and you express your views very well. Thank you for speaking out and making the world a better place with your light and humor ❤️
American cinema is amazing cuz you’d think a 9/11 movie that focuses on a bunch of frightened, crying children that have been thrust into this very distressing situation simply by being present on a tiger cruise to visit their families who are involved in the military would be an ANTI-war propaganda piece. You’d think that showing these helpless, terrified civilians worry for their safety and for the lives of their families and friends would be a statement firmly against further recruitment and a military life of blindly serving and protecting. But it’s not. Amazing, truly.
I was 12 when this came out, and was still frequently watching Disney Channel for another 2-3 years, but I’ve literally never heard of this movie. What an absolute trainwreck.
I was like, 11 when 9/11 happened, I remember sitting in science class first period and not really understanding fully what happened just that all the teachers were standing in their rooms watching the news with the students
I looked it up and she would've been like 14 or 15 while filming this.. because I thought it was weird she's playing a SIXTH GRADER while looking like a highschooler. 😂 Turns out I was correct and she was actually highschool-aged. Whats with Disney being unable to cast actual 11-year-old? Lol
Ummm can i just say how excited I was to see my favorite person on youtube upload a DCOM review? It’s been a rough week and this got me through it. Love ya!
This was such a wild time to be a kid, overnight half the shit in your field of vision was covered in stars & stripes or basically "yvan eht nioj". And kids aren't dumb, just easily swayed.
I remember exactly where i was when 9/11 happened. My school was right across the water. We felt a shake….we looked out the window and saw with our own two eyes. I was SHOOK and livid my mom blasted the news all night. Then she left me in the house alone 😒 i thought she wasn’t going to come back. I didnt even know this movie existed. But thats just awful. So many people left earth that day and many developed respiratory problems.
Im sure i watched this as a kid but i think it fell into that "block out 9/11 trauma" realm of my brain. I was in 4th grade when the attacks happened and they messed me up emotionally even though i wasnt personally impacted
I’ve been watching your channel for probably over 2 years now and I have always loved how much you speak up about important topics through out your breakdowns - I feel like it’s something I have always noticed about your content and I think it’s super awesome that you take the time to use your platform to spread awareness while being one of the funniest TH-camrs I’ve found 💞💞
In this video, Nick's fashion look reminds me of some Barbies I owned in the early 90's. Like, neon swimsuits and neon eyeshadow. I feel like Nick is going to party on Malibu beach after this video ends 😁
While making a kids movie, ESPECIALLY a DISNEY movie about 9/11 is insane... I kind of admire the comittment. That's bold. When you said it was about 9/11 I thought you meant it was a movie that came out shortly after 2001 and was clearly an allegory for 9/11, not ACTUALLY about 9/11!
There's a lot of DCOMs I remember seeing promos for back then, this one include. However, it's weird that 20 years later, I'm just now noticing that I passed on seeing this one and I always just remembered it as being the weird 9/11 movie. I know this isn't special or different to older generations (or now Gen Z and Alpha that can say they fondly remember the Army doing recruitment on Twitch), but the weird amount of military endorsement we had is kind of funny and sad in a weird way. Forget Cadet Kelly. The real ones remember that time in the late 90s when we got a good taste of this by way of the Olsen twins, aliens, and the Navy.
This movie is so goofy and yet watching you watch the parts where the kids are all freaking out on the ship genuinely made my heart rate shoot up and my anxiety spike. I was 9 and saw this footage at school and it’s apparently a core memory. I can tap into that panicked feeling of death approaching any time now! No problem though because as an American whose husband was just laid off, I have access to the best COBRA health insurance that 900 of our nonexistent dollars a month can buy so I can definitely get mental health treatment 😊
I've had an extremely hard day and was looking for something to watch before bed. You posting was exactly the shining ray of light in the darkness I needed tonight. Thank you ❤
Nick thanks for talking about your experiences with 9/11. I was around your age, and you hit the nail on the head about how it felt to be affected by it so young. Tbh I put off watching this vid lol but you make it worth it ❤
37:07 hello im late to the party but i just wanted to say i will NEVER forget...the first time i saw don't look under the bed cos i watched it at my grandparents house when i was definitely too young and i was so scared to fall asleep after that cos their house was like old and creaky and i didn't even wanna get up to go across the hall to the bathroom lmao
LoOoOoOooooooooVE the makeup, outfit, and bolo tie queen! That eyeshadow is goooooorgeous! Also love the red colored spotlight on ya as well! I have NEVER heard of this movie before, what an absolutely crazy premise... oh my my myyyy. I know there is another 9/11 movie with Gina Gershon, Luiz Guzman, Whoopi Goldberg and Charlie friggin' Sheen, oh my... WHYYYYYY. Alssssso just wanted to point out I had JUST finished applying my self tanning Jergins body and face tanner right before this movie, and squeeeeealed @ 6:30 lol. Great queens think alike, or something like that. @31:18 this entire part was hilarious, oh my gooodddd... I rewatched several times, I'm in tears... @31:50 "F*ck you kid, you're gonna diiiie" 🤣 @32:40 🤣🤣🤣 You are soooo gosh darrrn witty and hilarious, it's impossible not to laugh while watching your videos! No wonder you are my favorite TH-camr! Lookin' amazing and much love as allllways!
I absolutely love the makeup on you for this video. I always look forward to the variety of your looks and this one is literally my favorite. It just works for you so well. Now I am feeling delusional, thinking I too could pull off a bolero 😂 Keep up the amazing work, always love your videos!!!
@@NickDiRamioTV Thank you for all the laughter you bring! I've been dealing with a very long Bipolar Depression episode for months and your videos make me laugh and smile. I really appreciate all your work. It gives me nostalgia and joy. Keep slaying king!
Perfect timing! I just started doing exercises in my mom's apartment's pool and needed something to watch! Thanks, Nick! 😂❤ Genuinely though, love your stuff.
NICK!!! In your own way you're a HERO for being on the right side of humanity! Too many ppl in US and Israel and most of the world even though few in number but wielding ungodly power have either been keeping silent, turning a blind eye or just plain laughing at the carnage, the victims and the genocide of the last 6 months. These are ppl who think that 6 months of violence and deaths are not just justified but not enough for ONE day of attack which, we found out, the Israeli military knew fully about before Oct 7 but wanted to use it as a reason for genocide. THANK YOU for at the very least speaking about the need for ceasefire.
lol Cisco shout out! My mom worked as a lunch lady for over 20 years.. which meant I was raised off that rectangle pizza plus everything else that was intended to be disposed of... the amount of food waste due to the schools refusing to have any student go without at least two main food choices is kinda crazy (500 students = 500 rectangles of pizza plus at least 350 servings of Salisbury steak and now do that with the sides as well)
I just wanted to take a second to appreciate how active you are in the comments. Use viewers don't see that too often. Thanks for making us feel seen Nick ❤
Mmmm... Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. This season's newest club is tYgrr. Located 200 nautical miles west of the Baja Peninsula, this shop has everyone, sisters, brothers, mothers, daughters, sons, a 50 year old Bill Pullman.
My friend randomly asked me this weekend what my least favorite dcom was and when I described this movie he genuinely looked at me like i was making it up.
i was born after 9/11 (im 22) so growing up i would always hear stories and be made to watch 9/11 videos at school. after a while i got desensitized to it so it feels weird reading the comment section of people who actually lived through it
Same I’ve become desensitised to it I’ve seen so many clips of it My mom was 11 and my dad 14 during the attacks they remember it vividly my nan worked at a call Center and she got told that an abundance of calls would come in from New York it was the busiest day of her job
I swear we were best friends in a past life. Your humour around current world issues are straight from my minddd. The way you incorporate political issues in nearly every one of your videos is honestly huge and never is unnoticed

I was 12 on 9/11 and in the hospital for kidney failure. Some of the nurses came in and watched the news with me. All the channels were just playing the footage over and over again and eventually I was like, listen I’m going through a personal trauma as well, and I’d love to watch some cartoons or just something without people dying
good self care
They were just giving you a 2 for 1 deal
That is horrific! Honestly, I have never understood adults who chose to show the disaster to their children live. I remember being 10 going to school being mostly ignorant to how bad the situation was. My friend (whos family was super republican) said that her parents woke her from sleep to watch people leaping to their deaths. Like....why? I then proceeded to be called a terrorist at school even though I'm only half Pakistani and grew up in a non conservative American household. I blame the parents who tried to shove the politics and racism of it down their kids throats.
I remember the Food Network had on their original programming intentionally to be a "safe space" and being so thankful for it.
@@Jess-Rabbit well I did grow up conservative, and I can tell you that conservative parents LOVE to traumatize their children. I’m sorry you had to go through that! I was out of school for like 6 months, so I mostly missed how the students reacted

Thank you for letting us know about Troy Evans, He is 100% one of those actors. He's one of those people who you can tell is a great person in real life even when he's deep in character.
I also love Nicks channel for the way he can seamlessly go from making a joke about wanting to be dominated by a Navy midshipman to sounding like a guest on Democracy Now.
@@dianacarbonateall are welcome except Shane Dawson lol that’s the only person I’ve really seen Nick be a total dick to. But he deserves it.

My mom took us to Disney in 2001 because the prices dropped so low. She checked us out of school early on Halloween and we took a 45 min airplane ride to LA (cause tickets were so low); I was dressed as Victoria from Cats, and an airport worker gave me a vanilla tootsie roll. That was the only Halloween candy I got and it was a phenomenal Disney trip. Lines were short. Went on some over and over without any wait. Such a fun trip. I always kind of associate Disney with 9/11 so seeing this is exquisite. 10/10 weird nostalgia.
I was 8 and hadn't experienced much trauma yet, so I could thoroughly relax during the trip, too. Bonus.
This isn’t the first time I’ve heard people taking trips to places after a serious event happened! And honestly, the place and surrounding areas is probably the safest place right after.
@brittany it's called disaster tourism
Rich Evans from Red Letter Media associates 9/11 with the Star Wars Holiday Special because he watched it ON THAT VERY DAY

“He’ll be returning straight home on September 12th, 2001. And there’s nothing, with any historical precedence, that could happen within the next few days to stop him.”
September 11th, 2001
“Aw man…”
Being a kid on 9/11 was a wild trip… I was in 6th grade math trying desperately to finish my homework before it was due when the teacher rolled in a TV on a cart and said a plane had hit the World Trade Center and we needed to watch the news. I was thinking, ok sad but idk what the World Trade Center is and I gotta do this long division. Then the second plane hit and even I knew shit was getting real at that point. But ya know still needed to finish my homework. Teacher was like, no watch the news this is history! Then 20 minutes later she was like, ok kids well that was crazy but we have a field trip to the modern art museum planned and I’ll be dammed if an unprecedented terrorist attack stops us! Then we just went and looked at art… like nothing happened lol.
That's so bizarre. I'm thankful my parents kept me home from school because our time zone meant I hadn't gone yet when it happened. Others have told me of this exact thing of teachers bringing in the tv and putting it on for them to watch the entire rest of the day. I cannot fathom how anyone would think that was okay to purposefully expose little kids to. I accidentally walked into the living room seeing my parents watching it, and then they pushed me back to my bedroom and shielded me from it. History yes... but little children shouldn't have to witness this if they don't have to at that age.
The home school hair length comments took me out!😂😂😂
I had really long hair as a kid and lol'ed at that. (I was raised by my grandparents and went to a Christian school... so yeah, it was a weird situation 😂).
We have a saying in Spanish that translates to basically calling someone the village virgin for having hair that’s too long 😂
As a weird little girl with weirdly long hair who, in fact, had a weird mom, i was fucking dying 😭😭😭 i was not homeschooled tho!! Just weird 💀
It’s nuts how even after all these years, reading the dates count down to 9/11 sends a sickening rush of adrenaline through my veins. I feel like it almost scares me more the older I get? Just surreal
I don’t know why Disney felt the need to retraumatize kids with this movie. If we wanted that, we could’ve just watched the History Channel on 9/11.
I thought History Channel was still heavy into their WW2 era at that point.
Disney has been doing military propaganda since ww2, doesn't surprise me
"Was this dialogue written by... the bridge?"
I’m not American, I had just turned 11, had gotten my own aquarium and when I came home from school my mom greeted me with “something bad happened in America, a plane flew into a skyscraper”. And the tv was on. My parents never turned on the tv during the day except for the Tour de France and the Olympic Games.
My main concern was that a plane would crash into our house (in a 1000 people town on the other side of the world) cause there’d be no way I could save my new fish 😅
lol NICK i feel SO CALLED OUT with the hair length comment
my hair was probably longer than that when i was her age, but my spawn point kept it in braids constantly because it was very unruly
i wasn't homeschooled, but i feel like i had that vibe for sure lol
she also wouldn't let me cut it until i was like 13, when she angrily chopped it off because i asked to get it cut one too many times
so i guess you're right on the money when it comes to that hair and bad moms lmaoooo
Your spawn point... OMG 💀
Spawn point is crazy 😂
I get so triggered by long, long hair on young girls. It reminds me of when I had my hair all the way down past my butt....but I had to have a surgery to break & reset my legs and put in a hip spica (waist down body) cast.
I woke up from surgery, threw up all in my hair and they had to chop it off and then put me in this weird industrial kitchen sink looking bathtub, UPSIDE DOWN so my cast wouldn't get wet, and it was so painful and scary. I threw up again in the bath...in my hair again and was terrified they'd cut all my hair off.
I think of that every damn time I see long hair lmfao
@@lynnkayee1015 I hope you're ok now
@@lynnkayee1015why didn’t they just wash your hair? I get you have a cast on but chopping it all off seems excessive. Hope you’re okay now!

In high school (1998-2002) I straightened my curly hair every morning, then 2" barrel curled JUST the front pieces (and set up scaffodling to hold up my coke can bangs)... never did a brush meet those shiny tendrils
thank you for your service
Lmao SAME! I'm waiting for the Gen Z/A kids to pick up the Coke can bangs trend.
they really said 'look how great the military is we should support them' meanwhile most people who saw this were like '...we won't be able to go to our loved ones funerals or see our families ever again? no thanks.'
I group this movie with another weirdly serious DCOM "The Color of Friendship"-- for the longest time, I really only remembered watching it as a sort of fever dream and fully believed I just made it up; or that it at least wasn't actually a Disney movie. But nope. The early 00's was a wild time...
I unironically loved _The Color of Friendship._ Nobody talks about that one!
I LOVED The Color of Friendship though. Was always so psyched to watch it and my favorite part was the makeover montage at the mall - probably the one non-serious moment. 😂 I also remember thinking that the character Piper was so cool lol. (Its actually based on a true story, which is wild)!
Me too! I think it doesn’t help that the only time I saw it I was sick with the flu
The Color of Friendship was so good!!! This movie isn't in the same league lol
@@xletragedyx DEF not in terms of quality, I agree. But just in that "wait... did I just imagine this, or did this really happen" type of sense. I unironically love Color Of Friendship, esp after figuring out it WAS in fact real and rewatching it as an adult lol
Gotta admit, I was at the 9/11 museum in New York days ago and it brought up all the raw emotions and tragedy of that day and reminded me how human it all was, how many peoples' days and lives were changed, even decades later, how people pulled together in the moment to help each other even at risk to themselves, how for a brief time the whole WORLD felt like it pulled together in a moment of shared empathy. That was a beautiful and bittersweet feeling and I'm glad I took the time to take all that in. And then I remembered how it was leveraged into a senseless war that just sowed the seeds for future tragedies and how no real lessons were learned, and that it was all used to make schlock like this. The victims of 9/11 deserved better than child exploitative green screen bullshit.
I worked on a psych unit, and there's a locked unit for when people first get there / can't be trusted in the open unit. There's NOTHING back there except their plastic brick beds attached to the floor, one television behind a ton of plexiglass that you can't hear unless you're smashed up against said plexiglass and crayons / paper as long as someone is out there to supervise. One day I brought paper and crayons out, and one of the pts made a paper airplane. We were having a blast flying it around to each other when another staff member came out and scolded us for it. Apparently that's not allowed either 🙄 it was such a horrible environment / atmosphere. Just made me laugh in a sad way when Nick was talking about how lame and mundane they are. The pts couldn't even play with those. I just quit recently, and im not mad about it. Now I'm kinda stressing about the whole being jobless thing, but comments like the one Nick made makes me feel pretty confident I made the right decision lol. So much shit went on there that just wasn't right.
My knowledge of such psych ward practices kept me from ever seeking help because I was scared of being dehumanized and abused. The ones in my area were/still are especially infamous
@@darkninjafirefox ours was really not much different than our county jail, other than the fact that you could have some of your own clothes and ask for snacks up to once an hour. Especially the locked unit. There wasn't as much violence, and there's a looottt more cnas / rns per pt, so you're watched significantly better. It's just sad, especially when you have people in there who are violent or angry with someone who's just sad / devastated and tried to off themselves or something. Imo, it was more just to have someone watch you to make sure you're not guna hurt yourself / others while the hospital gets you stable on some sort of antipsychotic, whether you like it or not.
i can't wrap my head around the ending of 'i'm 12ish years old and i want my dad out of the military and back home with me because i miss him. but then War Happened and now i want him to stay in the military instead of being home safe'
I absolutely remember watching this as a kid and SOBBING the whole time i can’t imagine why I have so much anxiety in adulthood
I lived in Northern Virginia and they showed us that shit on TVs. More than a few kids at my school lost family members. Then we watched a docu later in the year and got to see and hear people jumping out of windows and splatting on the ground.
Luckily for those of us who didn't know, our helpful teacher explained that the loud thuds were human lives ending on the pavement. I was 13.
No trauma resulted, of course! Perfectly normal psychological development from there on.
The problem is they made it for kids who were around during 9/11. They should've made it a decade or two later for newer generations.
Yea. Waaaay too fresh.
They probably just shouldn't have made it at all...
Either that or never at all
@@Lina_unchained It being a bad movie aside, it's a historical event so I'm not against making movies about it.
Yeah, it was an obvious cash grab. Plain and simple. There was another movie that came out shortly after the attacks. So obvious they were milking that fresh patriotism, fear and grief for sweet, sweet money
Chanel N°5, reminds me of my great aunt, who was a maternal figure. I used to help her w her orchid garden as a small child. I would go w her to Macy's to buy the perfume doing errands.
How was The Color of Friendship not one of the movies with a parental warning when they say ..."the n word with the hard r"... multiple times and the entire movie deals with the South African apartheid, yet Wendy Wu has a parental warning?
Only black people used the n word in the movie. And I didn't know what kaffir meant before.
@@ViguLiviu In the scene where Mahree learns she'll be going to the same school as Piper they both say it. Piper says it first and then Mahree says it.

Disney used to take risks with their TV movies..now they’re all just sequels, retellings, reboots, or adaptations of books 😔 the fact that this movie exists is insane but at least it had SOMETHING interesting behind its premise
I was in 2nd grade and lived on base in California when the attacks happened (Fort Ord/Presidio/DLI). When you were talking about the kids watching and not knowing if they’d be attacked too, that’s exactly what it was like. I was an Army brat at a school for Army brats and our elementary school had a concert where we sang patriotic songs like “I’m Proud to be an American” for our military families. I think it was within like a month of the attacks but I’m not 100% on the timeline. I do remember seeing a lot of adults crying for the first time though. A lot of my core memories from that age are of terrorism-related fears and military propaganda. It was such a weird time to be a kid and we were pretty much expected to just roll with it without any long term effects.
Thank you for sharing your stance on Palestine and speaking up for the people there. I can’t imagine how we’ll look back on this in 20 years.
What a strange time to be a child
Disney had some serious topics for their DCOMs at the time 💀
I experienced 9/11 during my childhood. It was horrifying. But all things considered, I think I would still rather have grown up then, compared to growing up in the 2010s/2020s with rampant school shootings, covid, and kids' brains being rotted from too much social media.
“I feel like she’s about to accurately start quoting Gertrude stein” okay that was such a good line I feel my brain memorizing it for future use rn
As someone who grew up near the Pentagon when this shit went down (I was in 7th grade art class and none of us had heard the news, but suddenly kid after kid was getting called to the office because their parents were there to pick them up early).... let's f*king gooooo. The way Hollywood immediately started capitalizing on that sh*t was crazy lol
Also, a couple years ago, when I was still teaching high school, our f*cking psycho drama teacher decided to commemorate the anniversary by having her students perform a 9/11 news reenactment... this was right after we returned to school in person (so everyone was already a bit traumatized from lockdown and the ongoing pandemmy), and our morning announcements were on video chat in the homerooms (instead of our traditional in-person auditorium). So everyone was subjected to this surprise, somewhat realistic performance, complete with ACTUAL FOOTAGE OF THE ATTACK, at f*cking 8AM at the START of the work day.
This is the same (white) drama teacher who told students (at a predominantly Black school) that she's actually _not_ racist because she did a mission trip to Africa one time. 🙃🙃 OH. And she also, at a teacher appreciation after work event, STUCK HER UNWASHED FINGER IN A DIP, LICKED HER FINGER TO SEE WHAT THE DIP WAS, THEN PROCEEDED TO FILL HER PLATE, TOUCHING THE REST OF THE FOODS WITH HER LICKED FINGER.
Can't believe she outlasted me, but maybe that's because she's an insane person.
(PS, for anyone wondering, I ABSOLUTELY loved my students and my school. I just burned out and had ZERO work-life balance, barely had the energy or time to even feed myself dinner, let alone have a social life, hobbies, or time for my own family. Oh, and I was a damn expert in my field, worked my a$$ off and still got paid absolute dogsh*t. I miss the f*ck out of the kids, and just went back to watch this year's seniors graduate! Many a bittersweet tear was shed 💜)
This was a roller coaster from beginning to end, jesus h. tap dancing CHRIST 😭
Love all people that decide to become educators. You are so important and it’s so fucking unfair how teachers and some professors are paid joke money.
She put her finger in the dip and then touched everything else? No just no
Ah yes, mission trips, the prime non-racist endeavor.
Remind me never to act like this as a soon to be white lady history teacher 🙏
What is it with weird drama teachers 😭 When I was 8th grade, we were doing the To Kill a Mockingbird play, and we were sitting around going person to person and reading from the script. This was a mostly white school, we had only one person of color in our group, and no one was comfortable with saying the n word that was in the script. But our drama teacher kept pushing for us to say it. We all kept refusing but she kept trying to encourage us by telling us we wouldn't get in trouble. Finally a boy in the group yelled at her about it and she stopped. But I always found it so weird that she was trying so hard to get a group of 14 year olds to say a slur despite us repeatedly telling her that we did not want to.
I was in 8th grade on 9/11. I remember the principal over the intercom telling the teachers to stop watching the news.
4:14 I always thought these kind of curls looked like a dog hairstyle 😂
I hate all things to do w 9/11, and i wasnt gonna click on this video, until i looked down and saw your name under it lmao. I thought 'nick is the ONLY person who could make me watch a 9/11 movie review'
😍😍❤️❤️ Love this!
My parents took my family to see the wreckage in 2002. I was barely 6 so I just remember lines of people walking by and missing posters everywhere. I didn’t really process this until I was in my 20s and realized it was kinda heavy for a kid.
I’m just young enough to remember 9/11. I was in 1st grade and my dad called my school as soon as he heard about the first tower and said he needed to come pick me up; he had a breakfast meeting that morning around 9am CST so he was still at home and my school was less than a mile away. Both my parents drove to pick me up and take me home. I remember them both struggling to explain to me what was going but try to do so in a way that wouldn’t confuse or overwhelm a 6-7 year old. My strongest memory is all three of us (I’m an only child) and our two dogs sitting in front of the TV, me holding on to my schnauzer, who was just a puppy at the time, and both my parents holding me and kind and shielding my eyes and eventually turning the volume down so only they could hear and watch it. I fell asleep in my parents arms.
The fear of saying the wrong thing is natural but you *nailed* it!
I am so glad that you enjoyed it. 🤗 Thanks for being a television viewer!

Fun fact: both Hayden Panettiere and Jennette McCurdy played girls who killed someone! McCurdy on "CSI:Crime Scene Investigation" Hayden on one of the soaps she was on (before puberty set in and she killed someone on "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit").
I loved Kingdom Hearts as a kid and wanted to watch/play what else the voice actors had been in. Hayden played Kairi and this was a weird movie to watch with no context as a child :)
I was living on a Naval base outside of DC when 9/11 happened. Still one of the scariest days of my life. My grandpa and my best friend’s dad were both at the Pentagon. Cell service was down all day so we didn’t know if they were okay until hours later when they got home.
I was 7 when 9/11 happened and I didn't sleep mostly for like 2 weeks. I'd just cry myself to sleep cause I knew everyone couldn't be fine after that. I'm Canadian but it was still all over the place
TH-cam is recommending me your videos again! Thank you algorithm gods I needed this

It's incredibly hard to make a video like this about such heavy topics and navigate it with respect while making jokes, and you somehow did it flawlessly. You're an amazing creator and it's so clear that you put tons of work and thought into the content you put out. Thanks Nick!!!
I know I watched this movie multiple times as a kid, I watched a lot of Disney channel and all the dcoms, and I think I just like... forgot.. that it's partially about 9/11. I think it's because my adult brain would have never thought disney channel would do a 9/11 movie. Like what if in cadet Kelly, instead of the gun-spinning routine for the climax, they get deployed to iraq. I just remembered this as that movie where Hayden panettiere goes to "bring your kid to work day" on an airship carrier
I was negative 1 years old when 9/11 happened so i obviously have no personal childhood story of how it felt or where i was and stuff. But ive learned a lot about it and i had NO IDEA this was a thing, I am SAT rn with snacks

I was 11 on 9/11 and going to a fundie school in california. We spent it in church all fucking day without fully knowing wtf was going on. The propaganda machine was pretty strong there needless to say.
my mom and stepdad bought cellphones that day. and i saw the videos of jumpers WITH SOUND YIPPEEEEEE thanks pops
I'm always impressed by your ability to weave serious topics into these videos and you express your views very well. Thank you for speaking out and making the world a better place with your light and humor ❤️
American cinema is amazing cuz you’d think a 9/11 movie that focuses on a bunch of frightened, crying children that have been thrust into this very distressing situation simply by being present on a tiger cruise to visit their families who are involved in the military would be an ANTI-war propaganda piece. You’d think that showing these helpless, terrified civilians worry for their safety and for the lives of their families and friends would be a statement firmly against further recruitment and a military life of blindly serving and protecting. But it’s not. Amazing, truly.
I was 12 when this came out, and was still frequently watching Disney Channel for another 2-3 years, but I’ve literally never heard of this movie. What an absolute trainwreck.
I was like, 11 when 9/11 happened, I remember sitting in science class first period and not really understanding fully what happened just that all the teachers were standing in their rooms watching the news with the students
OMG BABY JEANETTE MCCURDY! 😂
I am in love with that eye shadow look. This pasty red(dish) head could not pull that off.
Great video, as usual.
I looked it up and she would've been like 14 or 15 while filming this.. because I thought it was weird she's playing a SIXTH GRADER while looking like a highschooler. 😂 Turns out I was correct and she was actually highschool-aged. Whats with Disney being unable to cast actual 11-year-old? Lol
To be fair, Disney should probably stay away from actual 11 year olds.
Ummm can i just say how excited I was to see my favorite person on youtube upload a DCOM review? It’s been a rough week and this got me through it. Love ya!

I remember exactly where i was when 9/11 happened.
My school was right across the water. We felt a shake….we looked out the window and saw with our own two eyes.
I was SHOOK and livid my mom blasted the news all night. Then she left me in the house alone 😒 i thought she wasn’t going to come back. I didnt even know this movie existed. But thats just awful. So many people left earth that day and many developed respiratory problems.
Im sure i watched this as a kid but i think it fell into that "block out 9/11 trauma" realm of my brain. I was in 4th grade when the attacks happened and they messed me up emotionally even though i wasnt personally impacted
I’ve been watching your channel for probably over 2 years now and I have always loved how much you speak up about important topics through out your breakdowns - I feel like it’s something I have always noticed about your content and I think it’s super awesome that you take the time to use your platform to spread awareness while being one of the funniest TH-camrs I’ve found 💞💞
In this video, Nick's fashion look reminds me of some Barbies I owned in the early 90's. Like, neon swimsuits and neon eyeshadow. I feel like Nick is going to party on Malibu beach after this video ends 😁
not Tiger Cruise omg
While making a kids movie, ESPECIALLY a DISNEY movie about 9/11 is insane... I kind of admire the comittment. That's bold.
When you said it was about 9/11 I thought you meant it was a movie that came out shortly after 2001 and was clearly an allegory for 9/11, not ACTUALLY about 9/11!
I love how your necktie looks like a lanky cowboy giving you a hug~😂 his little feet hanging down~💕
I honestly thought this was a weird fever dream until I saw it on Disney+ 😅
There's a lot of DCOMs I remember seeing promos for back then, this one include. However, it's weird that 20 years later, I'm just now noticing that I passed on seeing this one and I always just remembered it as being the weird 9/11 movie.
I know this isn't special or different to older generations (or now Gen Z and Alpha that can say they fondly remember the Army doing recruitment on Twitch), but the weird amount of military endorsement we had is kind of funny and sad in a weird way. Forget Cadet Kelly. The real ones remember that time in the late 90s when we got a good taste of this by way of the Olsen twins, aliens, and the Navy.
This movie is so goofy and yet watching you watch the parts where the kids are all freaking out on the ship genuinely made my heart rate shoot up and my anxiety spike. I was 9 and saw this footage at school and it’s apparently a core memory. I can tap into that panicked feeling of death approaching any time now!
No problem though because as an American whose husband was just laid off, I have access to the best COBRA health insurance that 900 of our nonexistent dollars a month can buy so I can definitely get mental health treatment 😊
I've had an extremely hard day and was looking for something to watch before bed. You posting was exactly the shining ray of light in the darkness I needed tonight. Thank you ❤

Keep up the amazing work, always love your videos!!!
I've been waiting for a commentator to cover this DCOM! How fun that Nick is the one to step up to the plate!
Thank you for waiting. Love yaa!! ❤️
@@NickDiRamioTV Thank you for all the laughter you bring! I've been dealing with a very long Bipolar Depression episode for months and your videos make me laugh and smile. I really appreciate all your work. It gives me nostalgia and joy. Keep slaying king!
Perfect timing! I just started doing exercises in my mom's apartment's pool and needed something to watch! Thanks, Nick! 😂❤ Genuinely though, love your stuff.
Thank you so much!❤️
SO wild that I just watched Keyan Carlile’s video on this same movie a few hours ago. I thought I was going crazy
Beatles riff followed by Gertrude Stein reference? I'm in heaven.
NICK!!! In your own way you're a HERO for being on the right side of humanity! Too many ppl in US and Israel and most of the world even though few in number but wielding ungodly power have either been keeping silent, turning a blind eye or just plain laughing at the carnage, the victims and the genocide of the last 6 months. These are ppl who think that 6 months of violence and deaths are not just justified but not enough for ONE day of attack which, we found out, the Israeli military knew fully about before Oct 7 but wanted to use it as a reason for genocide. THANK YOU for at the very least speaking about the need for ceasefire.
lol Cisco shout out! My mom worked as a lunch lady for over 20 years.. which meant I was raised off that rectangle pizza plus everything else that was intended to be disposed of... the amount of food waste due to the schools refusing to have any student go without at least two main food choices is kinda crazy (500 students = 500 rectangles of pizza plus at least 350 servings of Salisbury steak and now do that with the sides as well)
I just wanted to take a second to appreciate how active you are in the comments. Use viewers don't see that too often. Thanks for making us feel seen Nick ❤
Perfect timing I was just about to sit down to drawn. And Nick is the perfect background noise.
Mmmm...
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.

My friend randomly asked me this weekend what my least favorite dcom was and when I described this movie he genuinely looked at me like i was making it up.
DCOM Nick is BACKKKKKK 🥰🥰🥰 my fave Nick lmfao
😍😍❤️❤️
You deserve so many more views. This was a great episode!
i was born after 9/11 (im 22) so growing up i would always hear stories and be made to watch 9/11 videos at school. after a while i got desensitized to it so it feels weird reading the comment section of people who actually lived through it
Same I’ve become desensitised to it I’ve seen so many clips of it
My mom was 11 and my dad 14 during the attacks they remember it vividly my nan worked at a call Center and she got told that an abundance of calls would come in from New York it was the busiest day of her job
I swear we were best friends in a past life. Your humour around current world issues are straight from my minddd. The way you incorporate political issues in nearly every one of your videos is honestly huge and never is unnoticed
I remember when you talked about this movie the first time! In the video where baby Shia Labouef read a poem, also about 9/11.
I wonder how many little kids this movie made come crying to their navy personnel parents asking why they'd never gotten to go on a Tiger Cruise
