Channel Larry (EDIT: Channel Awesome renamed to just Nostalgia Critic)

[Dr. Ensatsu-ken]

He skipped Old Yeller? That's like....one of the most famous Disney movies of all time. It's like essential viewing for any kid growing up on this side of the planet. I'd definitely argue that it was a movie with more significance and impact than some of the other stuff that he's seen fit to cover in place of it.

[Avaitor]

Not to mention the Tim Curry Three Muskateers movie. I know for a fact that I saw this in theaters, but I don't remember a single damn thing about it.

Personally, if I was doing this, I'd probably stop with the Muppet Christmas Carol or possibly even the Black Hole and try to focus on the movies from Walt's time, with a handful of exceptions beyond.

[Avaitor]

This will probably be a big set, but here's what I'd tackle if I was Doug-

• Victory Through Air Power
• Song of the South
• So Dear to My Heart
• Treasure Island
• 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea
• Davy Crockett
• Old Yeller +Savage Sam
• The Shaggy Dog +The Shaggy DA
• Third Man on the Mountain
• Pollyanna
• Swiss Family Robinson
• The Absent-Minded Professor +Son of Flubber
• The Parent Trap +Remake
• Babes in Toyland
• That Darn Cat! +remake
• The Love Bug +sequels
• Bedknobs and Broomsticks
• Escape to Witch Mountain +Return to Witch Mountain
• The Apple Dumpling Gang +Return of the Apple Dumpling Gang
• Dr, Syn, Alias the Scarecrow
• Freaky Friday +remake
• Pete's Dragon
• The Black Hole
• TRON +TRON: Legacy
• Something Wicked This Way Comes
• Never Cry Wolf
• Honey, I Shrunk the Kids +Honey, I Blew Up the Kids
• Newsies
• The Mighty Ducks (yeah, might as well skip the sequels)
• The Muppet Christmas Carol

I skipped the ones Doug talked about plenty before, including Mary Poppins, and tried to stick mostly to the most popular and important ones with a clear stopping point in mind. The crazy thing? there's a lot of good ones I skipped over.

I would've done The Incredible Journey for sure if it was on DVD. Bootlegs for Song of the South are way easier to find.

[No-Personality]

I can't say "if I were Doug," but if I had a show somewhat similar to Nostalgia Critic (but erred away from stuff like Man of Steel and Les Miserables and was a better "critic" in general), my list would be more like:

(SPOILERS below)

1a. introduction + The Reluctant Dragon
1b. Song of the South
1c. So Dear to My Heart
2a. Treasure Island
2b. Swiss Family Robinson (I know this a/b split isn't chronologically accurate but it's a better system to fit more movies in by theme or stature) (This would be repeated on other days as you'll see)
3. 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea
4. Davy Crockett, King of the Wild Frontier (and sequel in same video)
5. Old Yeller (and sequel in same video)
6a. The Shaggy Dog (and remake in same video)
6b. The Shaggy D.A. (this monstrosity unquestionably needs its own video)
7a. Darby O'Gill and the Little People
7b. The Gnome-Mobile
8. Pollyanna
9. The Absent-Minded Professor (and sequel in same video)
10a. The Sign of Zorro
10b. Babes in Toyland
11a. The Parent Trap
11b. The Parent Trap remake (I can't believe Doug forgot to mention It Takes Two, by the way; even though it's not a Disney movie, the Olsen twins did their own remake of TPT 3 years before)
12a. The Three Lives of Thomasina
12b. The Cat from Outer Space
13. Mary Poppins
14. That Darn Cat! (and remake in same video)
15a. The Love Bug
15b. sequels / remakes to The Love Bug
16. Bedknobs & Broomsticks
17a. Escape to Witch Mountain
17b. Return from Witch Mountain
18. The Apple Dumpling Gang (and sequel in same video)
19. Freaky Friday (and remake in same video)
20. Pete's Dragon
21a. The Black Hole
21b. The Devil and Max Devlin (Well-known? No. Worth talking about? Hooooooo-boy, is it ever.)
22a. The Watcher in the Woods
22b. Something Wicked This Way Comes
23. Tron (and sequel in same video)
24a. Return to Oz
24b. Hocus Pocus
25a. One Magic Christmas (...Have you guys seen this one? Mary Steenburgen's husband is MURDERED, then the killer kidnaps her 2 children, steals her car, and drives them off a bridge!!!)
25b. The Santa Clause (and sequels in same video)
26a. Honey, I Shrunk the Kids
26b. Honey, I Blew Up the Baby & Honey, We Shrunk Ourselves
27a. The Rocketeer, Newsies, Who Framed Roger Rabbit, Oscar, and Dick Tracy in same video (one of these just has to include some Touchstone flicks, on my show- they would)
27b. White Fang (and sequel in same video)
28a. The Mighty Ducks (and sequels in same video)
28b. Cool Runnings
28c. Heavyweights
28d. Angels in the Outfield (and sequel in same video)
28e. Air Bud franchise (the hate... the hate...)
29a. 101 (& 102) Dalmatians
29b. [the Muppet movies- beginning with Christmas Carol, of course]
30a. George of the Jungle
30b. The Straight Story
31a. The Princess Diaries (and sequel)
31b. Enchanted
31c. outro

This one. oh man.

[Nel_Annette]

It was a pretty humorous review. And then the bitch suddenly gets struck by lightning and Doug's subsequent "gghhOLY SHIT!!!" made me fucking lose it. That was incredible.

[talonmalon333]

That was one of his best reviews in a while. Seems like he put a lot of effort into it.

But as far as "worst holiday specials" go, I have a feeling Phealous could top that. He seems to pick the absolute worst films out of anyone on that site.

[No-Personality]

That was awkward: Doug flashed pictures of The Salvation Army over narration that included the words "love and respect for everyone in the world." Uh... except for their proud declaring that gay people should die. It was kind of a big thing this year, Doug. In fact, this was written just yesterday:

http://www.gazettenet.com/home/9955886-95/john-davis-says-salvation-army-does-discriminate-against-gays

Bad form, Mr. Walker.

[Daikun]

So, TGWTG is trying out a new guy called Thug Notes.

I've watched the whole archive and found it enjoyable. What do you guys think?

[Daxdiv]

Bad form, Mr. Walker.

I thought that was a little stupid as well, considering the Salvation Army's stance on gays have been well known for over a few years. I heard they do decline services to you if they know your gay and do discriminate if you go looking for a job with them. Hmm... does kind of make me wonder since a store I worked at used to have a SA guy outside, but like last year, they stopped coming over there. Makes me think about it.

Wow, he really did that?

Man, Doug just needs to sit down and get his facts right for once in his life.

[Dr. Insomniac]

There was this one Salvation Army guy who breakdanced at Faneuil Hall. He seemed cool.

[Commode]

Good thing I only shop at Goodwill...

[No-Personality]

Oh, there's definitely been some backtracking and hopeful bad press hedging going on over there. Official spokespeople even tried to claim that only one "rogue" member was responsible for making the statements.

Meanwhile, stories continue to surface about just how deep their homophobia lies and they've gotten too numerous and long-running to deny at this point.

[Dr. Insomniac]

Except articles cite the claim as indeed coming from one specific member. And according to this other article, they've improving while apologizing for these faults.
