all my loli wolf companions are so moe
I thought Frosted Flakes still have the same commercial plot.
Yeah I figured that wasn't Adam West. The guy has a pretty distinct voice and that barely sounded anything like him.
EDIT: Beaten. Oh well.
There's no second video anymore because Vessel died.
He made a good point about the last movie. Enchanted or whatever it's called. I'd watch that.

Ehhh, can't say I'm a fan of these quick reviews really. I know they've gotta be short since Doug has set quite the task going through so many films but I prefer his usual style really.
I'm sure previous Disneycember reviews were longer and closer to usual Nostalgia Critic style though, rather than these quick fire reviews.You do realize he's been doing Disneycember for years now right?

Nah, Disneycember has more or less always been this length. You sacrifice length for quantity
Outside of Lion King 2 and King of Thieves I don't know any other decent sequels. One of the Lilo and Stitch ones might be good and I heard that one of the Cinderella ones gives one of the step sisters character development.
Cinderella 2 is made up of a couple of shorts, and in one of the shorts one of the stepsisters breaks ranks to pursue her own romance with a commoner, while Cinderella supports her in this. AFAIK, it's regarded as the best short of Cinderella 2 (but that's not saying a lot).
Cinderella 3 is a time travel plot with Cinderella now having to be a proactive heroine and fight to win her happy ending. It's the last Disney Sequel and it competes with Aladdin 3 for the crown of "Best Disney Sequel". Giving Cinderella some agency could either be seen as an unwelcome betrayal of the original, or a much-needed betrayal of the original, depending on your point of view.
Judging by the clips, Doug's going to be including Tinkerbell, which is a legit good-to-great movie, but not for everyone (it's clearly aimed at children, unlike say a Pixar movie, which is usually aimed at all-audiences). Tinkerbell knows exactly what it's doing and executes really well. Although I'd say it's cheating because it's from the wrong era. It was produced by Disney's most artist-friendly leader since Walt, not the most hated and infamous person in Disney's history. If Tinkerbell (or Cinderella 3, since Aladdin 3 is out of the running) doesn't swoop in at the end of the month as Doug's "Christmas miracle", a Disney Sequel that surprisingly doesn't suck, then Doug is wrong and has no sense of taste (but what else is new?).
LOL, that's perfect. Beauty and the Beast is one of Doug's favorite movies, so the knife cuts extra deep.
They pretty much dropped that part entirely. It's a prequel series/origin story that rebuilds her character from the ground-up as she's born into a hidden fairy society that was not seen to exist in Peter Pan.I haven't seen any of the Tinkerbell movies but part of me wishes that they're accurate to the character in that Tinkerbell is actually an awful person 50% of the time because fairies are naturally bipolar due to their size.

Cinderella 3 and Bambi 2 are pretty good (especially the former), but some people take offense that it "retcons" character into existing characters (though you'd argue about them having character in the first place).
Brother Bear 2 is also pretty decent especially if you aren't fond of the first film because it does addresses the fact that "fuck, one of the tribesman did become a bear". Also has some really hilarious implications.
I know people have much disagreement from The Lion King 1 1/2 aka TLK3 but somehow they consider it "TLK is ruined!" even though the movie doesn't even interfere from TLK. It's literally a perspective flip and honestly I find it really humorous. Hell I'd argue it isn't too much intruding unlike in TLK2 where Timon and Pumbaa were really interfering with the mood.
And there's a movie like 102 Dalmatians (the title even is a lie - it's still 101 Dalmatians just with a different focus - it's not like Pongo and Perdita gained a new litter) which is relatively harmless and is aimed at children. People have issues with Mulan 2 even though I think that movie, while harmless, is pretty good at actually expanding Li's character (at the expense of Mushu). And there's Pocahontas 2 which I actually puts Pocahontas in a conflict rather than just... well whatever 1 was.
With how Doug got the plot of KoT messed up, I'm kinda worried how he'd view these films. Though honestly, with his "these happily ever endings" comment, does he not realize some of the implications the supposed happily ever endings imply? I mean, 101 Dalmatians ends with a bunch of puppies in a flat (the animated series actually followed it up properly, matching the books), Pocahontas ends seemingly with a happy ending forgetting the implications it had, TLM ends happily forgetting the inherent racism merpeople and landlubbers have, etc.
Ditto. I loved it actually. I say this as an adult too. Timon and Pumba (Mostly Timon) were my favorite as a kid. It was really funny seeing the story of the first movie told from a different angle.I'm indifferent to Lion King 1 1/2. To me it was just a Timon and Pumbaa prequel movie. It didn't ruin the series for me or anything.

It didn't try to tell anything new about the original story. Just showed it from someone elses POV.
My favorite part being when they find a new home and are awakened suddenly by Simba's "Just Can't Wait to be King" song and dance.

Disneycember: Lion King II: Simba's Pride
Yeah, this was the reaction to this film that I was expecting. As far as direct to video sequels go, it's fine. Judging it on the merit of the first one doesn't seem fair.
I'm surprised that he mentioned Upendi and not My Lullaby on the list of songs that he liked. Most people go the other direction.
For some reason I have two VHS copies of this film. I think one is mine and one is my friend's that he left over my house a long-ass time ago and never picked it up.
Disneycember: Aladdin and the King of Thieves
I wouldn't mind if this was the plot of Agrabah in Kingdom Hearts III
I wonder when Disney will try to revive Goof Troop. They're doing DuckTales so it's probably a matter of time.
Also lol at 15:17: still waiting for him to tear apartFant4stic.
I have yet to actually see that movie. I feel like I should watch it because he'll probably do a clip-less review but at the same time I really don't want to.
