That was a good episode
Could there be a Doug Review of The Grinch (2018)?
What are you going to do next
Is Rachel going to stay and like the new office look
You know, I think that a good theme for January would be 'Disaster Month' where you review movies such as The Day After Tomorrow, Dante's Peak, San Andreas, 2012 ect. I think that the Disaster Movie genre hasn't been talked about nearly enough, so it would be interesting if you covered it. *PLEASE???*
I assume the Critic didn't use the f-bomb all year to pay respects to his mom, who didn't like him using the word. That was very sweet, Doug.
Or could just be something he did it subconsciously.
Yeah, one thing I like about NC is that he's not reliant on swearing: he can make his points clear without emphasizing them. That's a crucial quality for a critic.
@@runefaustblack I cant believe I didn't notice he didn't use it.
Is that the reason?? Awww.
I thought it was TH-cam cracking down on videos using non appropriate words for ad reasons.
And I’m still sure that’s the case.
The Irony is that since its 1920 she will grow up to witness Nazis in real life as they do annex Austria in 1938
That's sad....
My god so true
Do you think that she would think that hitler is the rat-king back for revenge but killing all these other people for in her perspective no reason
That's. Ok I'm a go think
“If I can stop him once and can do it again”
"and then they all lived happily ever after I guess?"
except they totally didn't, because they're still a family with Jewish ancestry living in 1920s Vienna.
Colin Harter exactly. The only family member we know is safe is Uncle Albert
This is funny
Don't worry they have a German uncle, at least I think he's German.
Albert Einstein grew up Jewish, and all of his relatives were Jewish. He immigrated to America after learning about the Nazi’s rise to power.
Yes....fun....
I’m not saying a darker version of the nutcracker is a bad idea, I’m just saying that there is a right way to do it and this movie did it the worst way possible.
Trust me, you don't need to know how it was produced in Russia
@Endriu192 i hate to ask but....my morbid curiosity is really itching to know
@@nightskyj7579 Like from creators of terminator
I kinda wanna see it.
Him revealing he didn't say the F-word at all in 2018 was a surprise to me as I never noticed he didn't saying it. Anyone else agree?
ThePokemonSoldier I agree!!! I actually looked back in his other reviews in 2018 to see for myself!!!!
ThePokemonSoldier *F* yes! 😁
He screamed a lot though
Who’s here on 420 likes
This fact only applies to the *Nostalgia Critic reviews* not to the First Viewings, Sibling Rivalry reviews/spoilers, etc. where he said it all year long. That's why I didn't notice because I watched most of those vids too!
I was today years old when I realized Critic didn't say the f word all year
IKR!?!? But the F word goes in one ear and out the other anyways. XD
"fun"? cause im pretty sure hes said it at least once....
You need the money
I was also today years old.
What the fresca? Really?
That ending with Doug...”Let’s watch it again...” and then the “For Mom” just...whoa...
why whoa

Thanks for raising the Nostalgia Critic to be the guy that we all know and love.
to be fair Rachel's version of Home Alone is still a million times better than Home Alone 4 and 5
@@Chad_Eldridge don't ugh just yet I'm pretty sure there's more!

"Let's watch it again."

Rest In Peace, Mama Walker.
@Arithomimus I don't know the details but I seem to recall she passed away not long after appearing in one of their Christmas reviews in 2015. The video is called "The Worst Christmas Special EVER!" and it's legitimately well done and very heartwarming. This video is a callback to that one. :)
The fucking emojis... seriously?
@Forward or Jump Yeah, i can see that wasn't best choice now, so i removed it.
Hans Ruhlmann thanks!

@@rhaenysreborn6083 i think this is the first time we, the fans, heard about her passing. i understand not wanting to share in a time of mourning

@@GoddessOfWhim2003 She actually passed in 2016. Granted this might be the 1st time it's been made clear in a review but many ppl already knew since her passing

It would have not burned in the box office as much the Jews.

You can see Papa Walker doing his best not to cry at the end. So powerful. So beautiful. I loved it.
it was hard for me not to cry too
I bawled my eyes out at the end of this review more than any movie I’ve ever watched, and this is a review of a movie that I was starting to think was just a nightmare I had when I was 8

He killed the shark because he was afraid that the movie might jump it.
Yeah, maybe that would have worked if they hadn't already been doing cartwheels over its head.
The movie already did by adding by adding words to the music, starting a the the beginning with Nathan Lane
The movie was already rocketing above sharks, dolphins, whales, the Titanic, the Navy, Poseidon, etc. since its conception
It wouldn't have jumped the shark. It would have
1) Jumped the Shark
2) Came back to shoot it in the balls
3) Raped it
4) Ate its flesh
5) consumed its soul
6) Mounted it on the wall
7) AND THEN DONE THE SAME THING TO 12 MORE [f-word]-ING SHARKS (just to be safe)!
You wrote a very good comment. You get the coveted TWO CLAPS. 👏👏
God the ending hurts. And ending with “For Mom” just didn’t make it easier. This was one of the best reviews I ever seen. There’s just nothing Doug can’t review, no matter how bad people claim it to be. Truely life will reward you on what you are passionate about. I’m sure where ever Mrs. Walker is now, she’s looking down at Doug and she is proud. Merry Christmas.
His “The Wall” review was a terrible take but other than that, you’re definitely right
@@PartyPlannerPreston It was spot on. A shit review for a shit film by a shit band that’s liked by shit people.
This video is more emotional than the film itself.
The last part made me cry. R.I.P. Mama Walker. 😢😭

Well of course we don't watch you for the f-word, it's actually not shocking at all in Germany. We watch you because of your walls. They are amazing. I like how the colour and texture changes over time.
@@TheHuffmanator It's why they didn't want to break through the Maginot Line back in WW2! They didn't want to break France's lovely border wall.
I thought that it was because his anger made it easier to understand him. You know, makes it sound more like German?
Fucking Trump supporters...
No one making the obvious Berlin Wall joke here?
The sandwich I think that was the unspoken, implied joke... in which case obligatory r/whoosh?
Honestly, the Barbie version was more faithful than this.
Not only that, but Tim Curry played the Rat King in it too!
TechnoScorpion Oh I remember that.
when the critic said that the care bear's movie was the most faithful version, I just kept thinking "so is the Barbie one haha"
Wait... That was Tim Curry?! I watched that a ton as a kid and never noticed!
Holy shit I'm getting all those Barbie memories back
the barbie movie is so good!
Imagine if Hitler sang doing some of the worst events in history
YOu mean like Springtime for hitler but in the worst possible lighting
How can you be sure he didn't?
Adolf Hitler's The Auschwitz song! Featuring Heinrich Himmler and Eva Braun as side singers
Wasn’t there supposed to be nazis on ice in the history of the world, part II?
@@tealablu3759 I think "nazis on ice" is the subtitle for the second part of Battle of Stalingrad
The nutcracker looks like one of those figures that sing the Duloc song.
So that's why he's so scary
Except somehow less scary.
Stolen.
Omg, yes! I was thinking where I saw it and... omg
Except not funny.
When you realize that Doug really hasn't dropped the f bomb for a year
Your profile pic fits the comment perfectly
OMG, you're right! I'm watching his older Christmas episodes playlist, and he drops f-bombs all over the place in those!
No lie, I flipped when I saw Rachel. Fucking missed her
Thus removing the point of the change the channel hashtag
they screamed... i screamed
I've always thought there was something missing with her gone. I love the cast as is but when she left the chemistry changed
You don't follow channel awesome on social media? They posted a group photo with her
Same man. I almost (I did) screamed
3:34
Doug: But don’t you feel… Dirty, filming this?
Rachel: I’ll tell you what Critic, I’ll have you watch the movie that inspired me for all of this “The Nutcracker in 3D”
Malcom: What does it have Nazi’s in it?
Rachel: Yes!
Doug and Malcom: 0_0
Barbie and The Nutcracker is the only version I will accept.
The Nutcracker Prince (1990) is the only true nutcracker for me, but Barbie comes close.
Ouch! No wonder Ken's not anatomically correct! ;-)
Tom and jerry and the nutcracker is a guilty pleasure of mine
Hell YEAHHH
Yeah, Barbie at least TRIED
good lord it really does have a 0% rating from critics on rotten tomato, I thought it was photoshopped

Wait, really?
@@RickyUzumaki993 yep 30 critics, 30 rotten scores

... For some reason, I’m not surprised
And I thought The Christmas Tree and Rapsittie Street Kids were bad, but THIS... is way worse!
It also has an 18 on MetaCritic, signifying overwhelming dislike
The nutcracker looks like those dolls singing welcome to duloc from shrek
LOL!!!!
Those were way more appealing
Let's do it again!
NO!....no.
Yeah I'd rather watch that than this I mean seriously who is the unfortunate person or family who watched this movie ._.
😂
“This movie was so bad it makes rhapsody street kids look like toy story”

Pff. Please, I've got two better: this film makes SON OF THE MASK look like gone with the wind. 2: I would rather watch the 2004 Hulk with Henry Cavil's MUSTACHE as the protagonist, while having my testicles ELECTROCUTED.
Didn't realize how much I missed Rachel until I heard that maniacal scream.
I gotta definitely agree to that
also, because the last time I saw her she was punched offscreen by the nc with "your fired"

You know, Nazis and holocaust references. Perfect child friendly material.
Clearly! Maybe they should have included a few train rides to the... "special camps."
A Family Picture!
Well we need children to know what pure evil is
Perhaps the Nazis were shown for patriotism? It's just that most of the people working on the film were from Russia. We have films of this quality, which is good. I notice the similarity with domestic paintings.
It's not the fact that they did it; it's how they handled it. The implications that she'll have to face the REAL Nazis some day, plus how she doesn't even bother saving the other toys.
"I ate your hamster when you weren't looking. He tasted like love." If I am capable of feeling romantic feelings for another human being, I want my hypothetical lover to serenade me with those words every other Thursday.

For those of you who can't put on finger on the Nutcracker's voice: it's Shirley Henderson, who played Moaning Myrtle in the Harry Potter films. You're welcome.
I knew it!

Thank you, I was wondering.
It’s weird to hear her voice in this movie.

True
This is sadly the closest thing to a Skaven movie we Are gonna get.
@JASON NYBOER way better....
Wait a minute, a new location means a new wall. God help you if that new wall's color is slightly off from the old wall!
Hell, he didn’t even use his regular lighting that tints the wall blue because it was probably packed up
Maybe they packed the wall to take with them
Rip wall
The wall was green screen the whole time!
If this does take place in the 20s it gets darker cause this means the girl had a prophetic dream of Nazis and genocide. A FAMILY PICTURE!
I feel like they got the whole concept backwards, many kid's stories feature a kid entering a dreamworld where they fight monsters symbolizing the problems in their real world, and the film would have made so much more sense if the girl was living under nazi occupation and reality was bleak while her dreams were colorful and whimsical and the rat king was a symbol of the real world threat of nazis rather than making it the other way around, but Nutcracker 3D shows the 20's Europe as a fun and happy place while the kids imaginations are full of random horror for no reason.
A PSYCHO PICTURE!
1. He really didn't say the F word in his reviews this whole season? Wow! Looks like Santa Christ won't be putting soap in his stocking this Christmas!
2. I can't believe you survived watching the single worst Nutcracker movie EVER!
3. That ending for your late mother was really sweet. :'(
I feel like a lot of the movie’s problems could have been fixed if they had set it AFTER the war instead of before. That way the children would have a reason to be thinking about Nazis and to use their imaginations to dramatize their defeat.
RIP, Mrs. Walker.
You know, Doug said that his mom disapproved of his language in his show (I only just remembered at the end of this episode). I like that he may have went all year without using the F-word just for her. I cried at the footage of the Walker family. This was beautiful. God bless, Doug, Rob, and Barney. Have a wonderful Christmas.
I DIDNT KNOW
When did she pass away?
A couple years ago
Last year before Christmas.
I had no idea that she passed away, my heart goes out to the Walker family. She will be missed

when i first saw this i was like
"oh hey a movie about the nutcracker, this should be interesting... why is albert einstein in here and why is he singing about the theory of relativity?"
Ugh because IT'S THE NUTCRACKER, THAT'S WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT!!!!
I actually wonder if there's some confused kid out there who would actually say that because it's the only version they actually watched(I honestly don't think I've ever sat through the whole story either tbh, I couldn't recall the order of the events off the top of my head at least, I've only ever seen bits and pieces of remakes and dances and have a general idea of it lol)
Best line: Greg Sistero; “This was the worst thing I’d ever seen... and I was in ‘The Room’”
That ending...that ending got me! “For Mom”
RIP Sandy Walker. You are still missed even today! 😭
is so sad, poor Dug :(
Unfortunately I was the kid who watched this at 8
I still have nightmares
I grew up with Courage the Cowardly dog..... My childhood dreams were night terrors..... The 80's kids movies ain't got Shit on me!!!!
Dark Rainbow 476 I am so sorry for you hun
This movie is scaryer than the Cat in the hat movie and happy feet.
Toxic Ten Studio's true. Cat in the Hat is really tempting
I'm pretty sure that those are considered Night Terrors.
Let's face it:
The Theory of Relativity song was the only reason they wrote Albert Einstein into the movie
You will believe nostalgia critic can make you cry
I'd no doubt. He always saves one tearjerky Christmas special!
From also losing a parent and it being around Christmas time that i lost him this made me cry

Foxy 02016 the joke is Tamra has a series where she reviews movies she has watched so he’s telling her not to watch it but it’s meta because she plays Kevin in Rachel’s home alone
@@peachcola2 yes. Thank you. ..It's called Tamera's Never Seen.
🤔
Y'know.... it's funny. As soon as Rachel mentioned the F bomb I was like "But I haven't really heard him say it in a while..." Then I started to think more about that. That's how you prove a point. Declare it after it's been proven, not beforehand as if it's some grand thing. There are people that would try to bring you down for it. I'm hyped for the new office though, seeing as it tends to play into skits and such and can't help but wonder if this was a one time thing or if Rachel is back.
As far as the touching ending goes, the emotion put into the simple line of "Let's watch it again" says far more than I could ever say. I resonate with that moment every Christmas. I don't "know" what you're going through, but I can understand it, my friend. My grandmother was the rock of our family. I have some pretty crappy childhood memories, but none of them are from when I was at her house. I even look back on the moments I got in trouble fondly, and one moment when I was being a total brat, with everlasting shame. It was the one time in my life I behaved like that. Whenever my family got together, it was because of her. She drew people in. Our very large (including my mom, she had 9 kids) family especially came together during Christmas. She owned several properties around her own home she would occasionally rent out, but they were there for when everyone came home. We lost her when I was in high school, some 18 years ago, throat cancer. Her absence is really felt during Christmas, even more so with her birthday just passing on the 16th. Sometimes I catch my mom caught up in a moment where I know she's reliving a memory, or wishing she was here and the only thing I can do then is mention something from the past and let her tell stories while I sit and listen.
...Thank you. True to the message of the video, you never know what inspires someone and how. But you've made me consider something I haven't before.
Yeah, the moment they said it I was trying to think of an F-bomb drop in a recent review and I couldn't. Then the end happened and, wow, not only was I right, but that was really clever.
Would the following movies please take note... on second thought, the list will be shorter if I list the movies that do not need to do that.
1. John Wick series.
2. (most) Marvel Movies.
3...
Well, I did say it would be short.
That's a sweet and touching story, I'm sorry for your loss, and I hope ya have a merry Christmas.
Thanks for making me cry reading this, lol. Very touching. I'm finally getting to see my older brother and grandmother this Christmas for the first time in over a decade. My grandmother is 78 and hasn't seen at least my older brother in two decades. I don't think we've told her our older brother will also be here. I ruined the surprise of my older brother arriving for my mom (it just slipped out, I flat forgot that my younger brother wanted to keep it a secret!) but I think my grandmother doesn't know. I say she's the one who is getting the best surprise because my older brother almost never calls here...for whatever reason. So now, they'll be able to just talk in person. I'm hoping nothing goes wrong as we've had some hiccups with all the planning but this weekend will finally reveal the fruits of our labor and have most of the family together.

The end hit me hard. i was watching the review with his parents a few days ago and thought "yeah that was charming" and then i read the comments, where people said their sorry for dougs lost and so on, and i felt very sad after it, without knowing her... and now this ending was totally unexpected and left me in tears. the whole family is there, doug, rob, their father and the many friends they made over the years... and they are talking about the "special" and so on, and then its the speach of his mother combined with dougs very, very heartwhelming "lets watch it again" - i think this was the very first time in all nostalgia critic, where i felt there was the real doug. not overacting, not saying something scripted, just 100% what he felt. it really left me in tears. i hope you feel well, walker family. merry christmas to you.
Agreed
"For Mom"
That hit me like a truck.
Truth ✌
i didn't know if she had crossed the river when i saw that, found out after a quick search and yes it hit me like a Mac, to Honor Mrs. Walker and my mom i will endeavor to enrich the family as much as i can
Me in the beginning: "Hey Rachel's back! Man, this is going to be great!"
Me at the end: "I'M NOT CRYING YOU'RE CRYING! TT^TT"
It was still great though, right?
I personally thought it was.
Hey let out those tears its ok
Fun Fact: At 11:11, the part of the Home Alone main theme they chose is known as “Somewhere in my Memory” and it actually has lyrics, but the ones in the joke are vastly different than the ones in the actual movie.
This is going to get lost in the comments but whatever. The Christmas special they watched at the end I saw the first year I was stationed overseas. It was the first year I was alone during the holidays. I took Mrs. Walker's advice. I spent Christmas with other people who were alone. We spent the next Christmas together too. They moved away after that, but we still keep in touch. Because of her advice I made friends that have lasted for about 6 years now, and I've never been alone for a Christmas. Never even thought of that until this video. So, from someone you have never met before. Thank you.Edit: Well, y'all showed me. Didn't get lost at all. Thanks for the likes.
I don't think that Christmas special they made has been out for 6 years. I think it's only been out for 1 or 2

There is one famous family in Russia - Mihalkovs. Most known are Sergey Mihalkov (he is dead now), his son Nikita Mihalkov and his brother Andrey Konchalovsky (He just taked his father's wife surname, and he is autor of this horrible version of Nutcracker). They are was beloved talanted directors and writers in the Soviet times, wich films and other creations was very popular in the Soviet Union (For example, Sergey Mihalkov was autor of the USSR/Russian hymn). But when Soviet Union collapsed, they are showed their true nature as hypocrite sycophants and sneaky trimmers. Their films and books was produced in USSR with huge help and offitial support from communist goverment, but those guys started to screaming about "horrors of Stalin's regime" and licking Eltsyn and Putin asses. It would be not so terrible at all (besides, such hypocrite behaviour is common among russian "creative class", and their example is not unique), but they are started to produce really shitty films, screaming about their "unique vision", when it was just over
pretentious antilogical stupid crap with cheap and horrible CGI, poorly imitaiting Hollywood films.
And each time, when their films crap meet finance fail and negative rewievs in the Internet (expetially well-known TH-cam reviews from blogger BadComedian, incuding NutCracker), this brothers usually screaming in their intervievs, that they are genius, and all russian people are just stupid redneks, who can't understand their unique vision.
That's why they are so despicable among russians.
Thanks for the lesson.
Wow..........I thought it was just a bad movie.
Wow that's cool. I hope this tension between Russia and my country (England) blows over soon so we can have a good Christmas.
Very well summed up! I am from Russia myself, and, honestly, I couldn't say it better.
Did they take down HH too? Lol jk
Friendly reminder that Barbie had a nutcracker movie where Tim Curry played the rat king.
Just an option for a pallet cleanser.
Honestly I'll take Tim Curry as any animated villian from the Rat King in Barbie and the Nut Cracked to Trader Jay Slick from Jumanji The Animated Series.
At first i thought "Well aren't you full of yourself" when i saw them watching Critic's own review
Then i found out that his mother passed...
Dashing Steel wow! Your way behind
@@loggior.speedweed4345 Well, I didn't know too because I just come here for reviews and don't follow them on twitter or go on reddit etc etc.
@@zombieslayer2016 Oh my bad, I missed this one. Tbh I just watch NC reviews and no other CA content. but thanks for the (sad) info
Wait, what?

I honestly never even knew that this version of The Nutcracker even EXISTED. 😳
it was on tv once then i tried to find it online to get it oh yea its out there
i has a 0% on Rotten Tomatoes, so you're probably not the only one......actually nvm, its has a 0% in terms of critic reviews, out of almost 2,800 audience reviews, 29% of them liked it for some damn reason
You be surprised about the amount of Christmas Crap is out there... Trust me... this is timid..
I think it's best to be unknown
I wish I still didn't
Prayers to Doug, Rob, and the rest of their family. May you find joy during this time.
did something happen?
Sunniva M. Hagatun their mom passed away around Christmas two years ago, and they took it pretty hard.
@@Dragoon1809 Actually, she died right after Labor Day in 2016.
What did California do to her?
Better question - What didn’t California do to her?
It didn't give her any semblance of how to write dark stuff
As someone who left California, I can confirm that! lol 😂
If I remember correctly, the director of Nutcracker 3D grew up in Russia during the real WWII and its aftermath, and one of his few consistently happy childhood memories was The Nutcracker. That still doesn't explain why he thought this would be a good way to discuss Nazism OR The Nutcracker. In fact, it kind of just leaves me with more questions than before.
If he wanted to include it, he could have started the movie with the real world set in WW2 with the children evacuated with their uncle Albert to America (since that's what Einstein did). Then the dream world would be her fantasy escape until facing the rats, ending with the fairy telling her to not give up hope as she's waking up to Christmas Day. She finds a note from her parents telling her and Max that they're coming to America soon.
joyunicycle wow you fixed the movie and make it PG-13
People in Russia just can't make normal movies
If home alone gets remade, they should have Macaulay Culkin either be the guy with the Tommy gun or the pizza boy
Or as the father or one of the family members, or even as old man Marley
They’re now actually remaking it, the kid who played Yorkie in Jojo Rabbit is in the lead and Ellie Kemper and Rob Delany are the villains, no word on a Culkin cameo though
Angry video game nerd actually did that with the pizza boy
Give the pizza boy a Tommy gun! "You'll think twice before you refuse to give me a tip!"
Pretty sure he is Hollywood blacklisted for supporting MJ
Wow.... this film is truly is an accomplishment. It managed to shit on the Legacy of Tchaikovsky AND Einstein in one song
There are many strange adaptations of The Nutcracker. (The best adaptation was the live ballet at the Riverside Community College performing theater in 2015) Disney tried to be experimental with The Four Realms which had little to do with the story at all, there's a Care Bears adaptation, and The Nuttiest Nutcracker is one of the weirder ones.
Don’t forget the Tom & Jerry version as well.
Also the CGI one with Barbie.
@@MinscFromBaldursGate92 Barbie's version was really cute and it had ballet. Shame the CGI didn't age well...

I feel like Don Bluth should've adapted the Nutcracker back in the golden days, his style of animation would've been perfect. Just imagine what a cool rat king and Herr Drosselmeyer he could've given us.
I will never understand why the hell we can't get an adaptation that actually follows the original story, is set in Germany, with costumes and design accurate to the time period and no Tchaikovsky's music in it since the fairytale wasn't originally written as a ballet and Tchaikovsky based it upon the Dumas' version of the novel anyway :(
BellringerKat it would have been fantastic, not only that I feel like his design for the sugar plum fairy and the snowflakes would have been the fantastic typical don blush glitter extravaganza that we all love
Huh. That's actually a really good point. I mean I like the 1990 animated one fine as a guilty pleasure, but maybe Don Bluth could have come up with something better. At the very least, he wouldn't change animation styles like the 1990 one.
Wow I never knew that!!!
Agreed. Don Bluth would of done an amazing job with his version of the Nutcracker. Would be like Thumbelina but even better. Just...tell him to please leave his fetish out of the film, thank you. lol
BellringerKat also NO NAZIS, that’s not the only thing Germany is famous for
As godawful as this film is, for some reason the "Welcome to a Stygian Era" song seems really catchy to me.
I have no idea why.
Me too, admittingly. I'd dare even say it would be a fun villain song if the Nazi allegories were more, er, subtle?
Jazz in general is catchy
It gets stuck in my head all the time for no reason
I'm sure this will get lost in the comments, but I wanted to take a moment to thank the entire crew of Channel Awesome for bringing hours of joy, laughter, and even education into my life as well as thousands of others. This is one of the best reviews/episodes you've ever done on the channel. The ending scene was so touching and it actually brought tears to my eyes. I love how much work, effort, and heart goes into every one of your videos, but especially the Christmas Special. Thank you so much for all you guys do. Looking forward to the new space and all the awesomeness to come in 2019! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Love, Alexandria
I feel the same way.
You know a human-like villain that gets creepy rat teeth/jaws and such when he loses his temper, slowly revealing his true appearances, is an idea with potential. For a horror movie. This is definitely a horror movie.
Also, thanks for that ending and the ugly cry it gave me.
"The Great Mouse Detective" actually does this fairly well, except it's a rat pretending to be a mouse
@@bluewinterstorm True. That's an underrated movie.
@@bluewinterstorm Ratigan is more intimidating than the nazi rat.
Yeah, this should've been used for a horror movie
RACHELS BACK DUDEE!!!
No clue how many times I've constantly been watching that intro where they're all screaming. MAKES ME LAUGH SO HARD!!
Wtf JaxBlade literally watches everything I watch.
The only difference is that he is jacked.
Who is Rachel?

@@KesorodaBlk i think she played the devil's daughter in older NC videos
That ending was actually touching. When people still say the walker brothers are asshats, just point to this scene. There's defenitely some heart in there.
They loved their mother very much. Sandy's death deeply affected Doug. His grief caused him to go bald.
This the SECOND time a Nostalgia Critic video made me choke up at the end this December. Right in the gutter. God bless your mom’s heavenly heart Doug. May she rest in peace 🙏❤️
United_World's Finest amen
What was the first?

When did she die?
Despite the controversy they faced earlier this year, I’m glad Doug and the gang still works hard to put out great videos like this one. Happy holidays to you guys and Rest In Peace Mrs. Walker.
Robot Zombie -- Same. I could never get anyone to explain it to me.
@Robot Zombie yeah the whole situation was really vague
Was that those fake rumors that Doug would quit Channel Awesome?
Wait Mrs walker died or did they get divorced or something what happened
@@anthonywatson1508
She died two years ago.
34:00-35:37
I missed Chester A. Bum saying: "Oh my God, it's the worst movie I've ever seen in my entire life!".
That would have been perfect! Maybe with Doe, even!
Man, you have the most supportive family I've ever seen. Going so far as to star and help you make these reviews can not only be fun for everyone, but bring a family closer together.
To be honest, I have never cried at anything if it didn't directly effected me..... until now.... Respects to Doug, Rob and your Father...
took the words outta my mouth
Iron Sword you should really play clannad or Steins Gate then. Trust me, those visual novels WILL MAKE YOU CRY
@@PancakemonsterFO4 never say those 4 words at the end. dont presume, just let them experience and get conclusions for themselves. saying that just takes away part of what makes it special. its like talking YOU WILL GET SCARED FROM THIS MOVIE, then the person prepares not to be scared and enjoys less of what the movie would give them.
Lucas Biermann oh trust me, when you finally arrive at this point it will catch you off guard BECAUSE THE SHRINE MAIDEN IS A GUY, THE CAT MAID IS A HARDCORE TOURNAMENT CHAMP AND THE GIRL FROM THE TV STORE KNOWS MORE THEN SHE PRETENDS. I think that should cover most spoilers of the game. Also the mastermind is Junko and Darth Vader is Luke’s father
Same
Awww I'm actually crying :'(
RIP Mama Walker
😭
From the looks of it, Papa Walker was really tearing up when he was watching it. He must really miss her.
Aww Doug, that ending man you got me right in the feels
SHUT THAT DOOR
yeah, especially after having a whole 35 minutes on how tone deaf some media can be, using terrifying imagery and Nazis. But I'm glad Critic definitely didn't wall into that at all
It gives us the feels, and maybe it's simply better that way
@@TheFuryGlitch I did Nazi that coming
That ending made me cry so hard that after a certain point I physically couldn't produce tears.
In Russia, schoolchildren were forcibly led to watch this film, it is not surprising that many chose to skip lessons just not to see this masterpiece.
But WHY?!
@@Demicleas I don't know. I tried to find news about it, but to no avail. Usually in Russian schools, children are taken to some historical films, like the Union of Salvation. This is the first time I've heard of schoolchildren being driven to a feature film.
@@thejohnreview9650 I didn't find it too. And don't remember news about it. And BadComedian didn' t talk about it.
Someone just really love fakes.
@Demicleas
Because Putin is a pretentious dictator.
@@MinscFromBaldursGate92 Firstly, the all story is 99% fake, and secondly, where is connection between that??
Those scenes with the AVGN talking about Rachael's take on Home Alone are pretty timely, seeing as how his most recent episode involved him playing Home Alone games with Maculaly Culkin himself.
Culkin was pretty damn entertaining playing Pagemaster and being in the AVGN episode.
Ooo if only he appeared behind his couch saying bad things about the movie, it would have been perfect
I love the fact that is AVGN instead of James Rolfe
Jesus Christ, if this is not one of the best episodes of the NC ever... The jokes, Rachel, that ending, all the guests, that amazing ending... This episode had things that made me laugh, think, tear up.. Just in 40 minutes. This is pure art. Thanks Doug, just thanks, regardless what people say NC is just getting better and better.
RetroGamer90 I always skip everything that isn’t him talking about the movie. The skits and other guests are always cringe.
Walter Dis Not this time
This makes the Barbie version of The Nutcracker seem like it should have gotten an Oscar. At least they tried to make the source material apparent. The score was well constructed and kept the beauty of the traditional pieces. The Sugar Plum Princess was even accompanied by surprisingly great dance choreography. They also did a good job keeping it family friendly and brought in some sweet, Christmas-appropriate themes. Finally, the main cast had at least some personality. Not my favorite movie, but it did a number of things better than this take.
I don't know about you, but I would like it if the Critic reviewed at least one of the Barbie movies. They're actually pretty good for what they are. They could've been like the original My Little Pony, just bland advertising for toys. But they actually cared about the product. Obviously, they're not amazing, but they are made with quality in mind.
They're also very nostalgic films for me, so I'd want Nostalgia Critic to clear up any rose colored glasses I might be looking through.
@@bluelfsuma I agree with you. The Barbie movies are not film masterpieces, but they actually put a good amount of thought and effort into them considering they are advertised as "children's movies." I grew up with them, so I would like to see a more neutral review of them from an adult perspective too. My favorites were Nutcracker, 12 Dancing Princesses, Rapunzel, Swan Lake, Princess and the Pauper and The Three Musketeers. Which titles would you like him to consider?
Sarah Taylor I watched and loved pretty much all the Barbie movies. But, if I had to choose favorites, it would definitely be the Fairytopia series and Swan Lake. If the Critic only reviewed one Barbie movie, he should review Swan Lake.
@@sarahtaylor4264 I was really a fan of Princess Charm School, 12 Dancing Princesses, and Princess and the Pauper. Maybe one day he'll pick up an interest in reviewing one of these movies.
The older I get, the more I appreciate the barbie fairy tale movies. I'm not going to say they're all masterpieces. I'm guessing the animation hasn't aged well and some of the dialogue is corny. But they introduced me to fairy tales I'd never heard of before at a young age (Swan Lake, Nutcracker, Rapunzel.) And were faithful to the source material (or at the very least made understandable changes to keep it kid friendly...since I'm pretty sure Odette dies in the original Swan lake...)
In Russia it was shown from the age of 6. You know these harsh Russian children. (I'm Russian)
You can tell your russian by that upside down 'L'.
@@Silenced23 you mean that: "Г"?
Of course you guys would be fine from this............. Let's not forget that Time Russians Rose from the Dead to Stop the German army from taking Osowiec Fortress..... Russians are basically Immortal

My inner history buff is SO triggered right now.....
@@chiara1194 that is literally my point. The story takes place in the mid 1800s. That is literally the point. You complete potato.
That shows you how horrible the movie is
Why did that Twitter joke age like a fine wine in the worst possible way?
Even in Russia people consider the stuff in this film more disturbing that the majority of actual stuff in other films that is supposed to be disturbing and scary.
The problem is we're having a banch of stupid ass movies like this one for the last decade. All cause to Michalkov/Konchalovsky family whose in charge of Russia cinematography and their buddies.
If it's a histocal film - they all working with "secret documents" and most deffinatly knows what happened. But at the end we're having movies like "Tired by the Sun 2: Citadel".
If it's a fictional - they had a "special artist vision" and their characters acts like morons. And we're having movies like "Nutcracker 3D".
Not to mention Sarik Andrenassian and his "Enjoy Movies" studio and their "products". You're, probably, heard of a 2017 flick entitled "Guardians/ZaSHITniki"?
Well, not all modern russian films like, but for the most part I'll prefer to watch Hollywood production.
@@boriskondratev1704 And the minister of culture literally said that they need to limit showings of Holiwood movies because they damage box office of Russian movies. On other words, he unintentionally admited that Russian films can't take the conpetition.
@@boriskondratev1704 «секретные документы», чтоб их!!! Заколебали, всякую туфту снимать, от этого Щелкунчика до Движения вверх!!!
@@KuroNoTenno yeah, more specifically, the actual filmakers can't stand the competition. But they in some close relations with the people in charge, so talentless directors like Andrenessian or Kryzhevnikov shoot movies annually, but the those who's capable of making a good movie, like Fasiev, made one ones in 5-7 years. People dislike "the creative masterpieces" of Andrenessian or Kryzhevnikov cause it shit. But, ofcourse, it's all because of Hollywood production, they said.
Reminder that the film is rated PG...

Y'know, I sometimes feel that Nostalgia Critic will over play how frightening or upsetting, or bizarre some element of a movie is for comedic effect that doesn't really pay off, but if anything he is downplaying how fucking terrifying that Nutcracker is.
And that's saying something because I unfortunately found the movie on TH-cam. And as a full grown man, I cannot explain the terrofuinh image I've seen in this horrible movie
