Mrs. Hopewell? Awww...she's married. Oh no, shes's single What happened to Mr Hopewell? (cuts to the lumber Judy uses to decorate Mrs. Hopewell) She doesnt like to talk about it
Let's all take a moment to remember Doug's mom. While many of us didn't know her that well, we know that Doug loved her, that Rob loved her, that her husband loved her, and that she will be remembered. Even if Doug himself doesn't see this, know that I am sorry for his loss, and that he has my condolences.
Yeeeeah, I don't know if this kid is the Director's, the Producer's, or even the Casting Agent's, but...there is no way she got through any kind of audition process.
Lily: (looking extra-tipsy, being surrounded by bottles of ale) "'Cuzee has special reindeer to pull it and each one... (burps) has his own special name..." (falls over) "Ow."
The Bear has the best acting and is a hero to cartoon movie villains everywhere!!! Why to I always root for the bad guy especially in badly edited holiday toons? For once I wish the Bear would have eaten those kids.
Even years later this still brings a tear to my eye and it truly shows that even during his worst moments Doug is genuinely a good man who just makes some mistakes and he still means well and wants to spread a good message.
Did anyone else choke up a bit at the end when Doug was talking with his parents? This year will be the first he has without his mother... Rest In Peace, Mrs. Walker, and here's hoping Doug and his family find some joy in this holiday season. ❤️
When I realized that Doug shows his parents at the end...I was blown away. Doug’s message was really good, and it was wonderful to see him with his parents and his family at channel awesome.
The ending is wrong and bad we all know we should have "shut that door" Merry Christmas though let's enjoy this time with the people we care the most, as they won't be around forever.
Nostalgia Critic: This is the WORST Christmas special ever made! Internet: *AHEM* Hold My Beer. "Rapsittie street kids believe in Santa" Nostalgia Critic: GODDAMN IT
I can't get through the final message without tearing up especially since Doug's mom has passed. She was clearly an amazing woman who was very deeply loved
7:02 Actually that kid is the actress who voices Judy's real-life daughter. So yes, she probably didn't go through any audition process and got the role because nepotism. After Earth logic strikes again!
+Donald Grump (CEO of Trash Co.) because of delay.. you know, the reaction time.. for example if you are driving a car and see something that makes you feel like you should stop.. the time between you seeing the reason why and the moment you actually start doing something about it.. that delay is about 2 seconds (mostly under that time but some seem to be slower)
I dunno. Both are abysmal, but if there’s anything good to say about Santa Inc., it’s that there was effort put into the stop-motion animation. No effort of any kind was put into this special, whereas Santa Inc. is terrible due to unnecessary and heavy-handed political pandering with awful humor
@@curiousguyontheinternet9023 agreed. With the Christmas tree,Santa Inc and rapsittie street kids, it's like trying to pick your least favorite deadly disease. Like, would I prefer Marburg virus, ebola or rabies? That's how I feel about these films
Anything Agency She seemed so understanding, knowledgeable, healthy and dare I say it - nostalgia. I feel awful for this happening; the movie and the life of a sweet mother to a fun critic.
Just came back from Channel Awesome's website (to watch the Nostalgia Critic episode like I usually do on Tuesdays, then come back here on youtube to watch on Wednesdays because you guys give me so much joy) and omg I didn't expect to be cry like that... I had to come here and watch this episode in its entirety. I can't imagine what a loss like that must feel like but I wish your family well Doug during this Christmas season. Season's Greetings everyone!!
It was also a big reason why war propaganda became so popular. You need soldiers who believe the enemy is essence of evil so they don’t stop fighting them.
the speech at the end of the video had me on the edge of tears, but when he started talking to his parents, I actually did cry. Doug, you really do know the meaning of Christmas. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year everyone.

Jacob Crawford Well we've been watching Doug for years. Even if we don't know him personally, we still feel a connection with him.If he hurts, we hurt.
"You always win when you are good." Wow. What a wonderful message. Really well thought out and sincere. This review ranks up there with "The Room" as among Doug's funniest.
Thank you for introducing us to your family Doug. Your mother was a wonderful person. That is so true that helping someone have a better day will make your day a little better. Rest in Peace Mrs. Walker.
I bought this DVD for a dollar at a bargain store like 15 years ago and watched it once and then never again it was that bad. It's sad when you pay only a dollar for a DVD Christmas movie and feel like you wasted money, time and so much more. I so regret buying this and it's something that you can't unsee.
Maybe this Special was made by the same people who made Garbage Pail Kids Movie. Because they are so stupid that they don't know the fucking difference between gas powered and electric powered.
Oh my gosh, noo don't tell me that. I wasn't even going to look in the comments. Video ended, I was smiling. Then I looked down. I'm so sorry, my condolences... I'm so heartbroken.
Alternate ending: Mrs. Mavilda is assassinated by the Dark Brotherhood! Update: For those who don't get the joke, there's a cruel and abusive Orphanage owner in Elder Scrolls 5 (ironically named Grelod the Kind) and you're hired as an assassin of the Dark Brotherhood to murder her in her own orphanage!
The whole, "You always win when you are good," is such a stupid strawman message to give to children, especially for this movie... First off, this movie has been about ORPHANS who LOST their parents (that probably died) and, for what we can see, seem to be pretty well behaved and good kids. One can argue that before the kids lost their parents that they all could've been spoiled little brats and /somehow/ became very selfless once their parent's died and they were sent to live with this bitch of a caretaker, but still... Were the kids once upon a time very bad children and therefore deserved to lose their parents because of it?
Bloody Belle so, you're saying they all lost their parents because of karma? Statistically speaking, that's not very probable. They couldn't have all been spoiled.
I hate Christmas due to it being the time of year my mother was the most abusive and neglectful. I listen to Christmas music and have mini flash backs to the shitstorm that was the holidays. I stumbled upon this review by accident today and the ending... It makes me want to enjoy Christmas, and now that I'm living on my own that might just happen. I am looking forward to Christmas this year and I want to thank you for reminding me that Christmas is supposed to be good, and for teaching me something more about what Christmas really means. Regardless of if you see this or not, Happy holidays Critic and Crew. May fortune follow you wherever you go.
I come back to this review every year, and it never fails to touch my heart. Doug absolutely nails it in his speech. And it also touches my heart reading your comment. Seeing someone who has a reason to hate the holiday given new reason to make it a happy time of the year. And I hope that happens, too. A Merry Christmas to you, and hopefully many more to come.
No joke, I saw the actual DVD of this heinous special at Goodwill. Much later during my next visit there, I saw that it was gone. I feel sorry for the poor, lost soul who bought it.
Not to mention the fact that Lily is in that shot. Isn't she still missing at that point??? The substandard acting/writing/animation is one thing, but that kind of sloppy inattention to detail is absolutely inexcusable, IMO, and as Doug said, is a blatant example of a lack of effort.
Everything looked half-assed. Bad animation, horrible acting, terrible plot, pointless moral. It was absolutely horrible. It seemed like this movie was made by kids who still believed in Santa. Also, the Santa in this special looks exactly like the Coca-Cola Santa. It's creepy. Also, the whole basis of the orphans being under the control by Mrs. Mavilda is exactly like Annie. Sounds like plagiarism to me.
Jessica Meloy and a very visually protective mother for that matter. She forbade Doug from seeing the Garbage Pail Kids movie when that film was new at the theaters
absolutely! I rly like how the whole family was included! cause I think thats what its all about. friends and family. or maybe your friends are your family. it´s about the people you care most about and thats how it should be imho ;)
4:06 This child was wearing a dress. That means that odds are this child is a girl. This means we are holding uncomfortably on a shot of a five-year-old girl with no shirt. *FBI OPEN UP!*
Bruh, it’s not like there‘s anything there to sexualize. At that age, girls look exactly the same up there are boys. Now whether half-naked children forcibly being stripped of their clothes is something you‘d want in a Christmas special is another question…
Holy shit I just realized something , the Mayor in this is Old Man from Phelous , no seriously they look identical, his voice even turns into the Old Man voice at the end.
Dalibor Jovanovic I know it's been a year so you've probably forgotten this comment but Phelous did a review of this movie as well. The mayor and Old Man are "cousins"
Im so thankful this reivew exists. Watching this video has become a tradition for my husband and I. Every year we HAVE to watch The Grinch, Home Alone, Christmas Vacation, and this reveiw 😂😭 so thank you for blessing our lives with this. We will NEVER watch the "special", but your review has given us so much Joy 🤣❤️
The Channel Awesome Nostalgia Critic series is something I very routinely go back to. It doesn't stop making me laugh and reminds me so much of better days. Thank you, Nostalgia Critic. You remember so I can remember it, too.
and to preserve continuity of the series (Dr. Smith is/was supposedly Nostalgia Critic's abusive dad), they decided to add the line (for Doug's real life parents): "who the hell was this guy?" (and to return it to funny)
Surprised he didn't comment on 20:11. WTH is Lily doing there? Isn't she still missing??? ETA: Just saw 23:01. I guess they reused that bit for budgeting purposes. Who cares about consistency???
Just noticed something that I had never noticed about this special until now: In the opening scenes of the animation, it's clearly states that Mrs. Mavilda has been tricking the Mayor into believing she was using the Mayor's stipends to buy new clothes for the orphans; however, in the scene where the Mayor gives Mrs. Mavilda MORE moneybags he mentions that he hopes Mrs. Mavilda will use the new allowance to "make sure the children don't spend another Winter in PATCHES AND RAGS"!! Soooo, either the storyboard director had a stroke and forgot the previous scene existed....or the Mayor secretly KNEW about Mrs. Mavilda's misappropriation crimes and just either didn't care or was complicit. Either way, this special blows hippo turds!!
This review is so good. The skits are good, the jokes are good, the heart is there and the ending is just so sweet. I have been watching since 2008 and christmas isn't the same without Doug Walker and the gang.
14:58 "Hey Licorice, how old is Tommy Wiseau?" (Licorice barks) "Okay. Where is he from?" (Licorice barks) "Thank you. And Where does he get his money?" (Licorice barks) "Thanks again. And I have one more question. What's the title of the new Avengers movie coming out next summer?" (Licorice barks) "Yes! Hey Feige, I'm gonna leak the title online. You better come out and pound me!"
I just realized something, the beginning of the movie was the FIRST SIGN IT WAS GOING TO BE A BAD MOVIE because it broke the NUMBER 1 rule in storytelling, show, don’t tell. The narrator FLATOUT told us that Mrs. Mevillda is evil. He should’ve left that out and let us see this for ourselves. Like, let’s take an example from Marvel, in their storyline, Messiah Wars (which is one of their weakest storylines, in my opinion), there was ONE THING ABOUT CABLE, he was poor. The text boxes didn’t tell us nor Cable himself didn’t see it, instead we can conclude that because they show him doing things suggesting he is poor such as eating out of trash cans, not putting clothes on his adoptive infant daughter, Hope, and having to use old clothes as diapers. That evidence alone told us that he’s poor, Marvel didn’t have to tell us, instead they showed us. See? It would’ve worked better if we figured out Mevillda was evil ourselves. Also, I have a question, who was the intended target audience, it’s clearly not for kids because of the gambling and drinking scenes and Mrs. Mevillda having a hangover at some point. And it’s not for adults because it’s insulting to our intelligence. So, WHO IS THIS FOR EXACTLY?! Also, where’s Mr. Mevillda? Given she’s Mrs. Mevillda, this suggests that she’s married. So, where’s her husband? Well, given she’s evil, she likely killed him. Or he left her because who would want to be with a woman like her? Ugh, this movie is so terrible and has many MISSING PIECES.
I agree with the Critic and his mother. Christmas is about putting maximum effort into it. And I can relate to having a bad time on Christmas. Around two or so weeks after the 2014 holiday season ended, I lost my grandfather. I was so upset that I had a breakdown in the middle of English class and had to be sent home to vent. And now I've moved and will soon be having my first Christmas in an alien environment, but through it all, I AM STAYING STRONG, and putting maximum effort into enjoying this most joyous of seasons and at the end of the day, THAT is all I can give. So whether you celebrate Christmas or not, I want all of you to put in as much effort as you can. To quote Ryan Reynolds' Deadpool: "Maximum Effort."
Mrs. Hopewell? Awww...she's married.
Oh no, shes's single
What happened to Mr Hopewell?

Mrs. Hopewell has the best acting in the entire movie
Stfu
I don't think saying her acting was better than everyone else was much of a compliment, she was probably best by default.
jrpludacrous true XD
The Bear has the best acting and is a hero to cartoon movie villains everywhere!!! Why to I always root for the bad guy especially in badly edited holiday toons? For once I wish the Bear would have eaten those kids.
true that
R.I.P. Sandy Walker.
She made the most emotional speech about Christmas of all time.
I think Doug's speech at the end is more touching than "Shut that door"
That was just for fun. Still I loved the message at end of the video.
So do I.
David Hileman was truly touched by the Critic's goodwill.
Impossible
Well duh,but I think this is his best ending ever
No way! "Shut that door" was by far one of the most emotional and heartwarming endings to anything ever. I don't think anything can ever top it.
"They're going to stay with the other children and under the same rules and regulations."
"I'm sorry."
Wait, what?
sorry for what?
exactly
+Oscar Dighton would still be better than this
+Oscar Dighton As long as George Miller can set the perfect tone for the special properly.

I think Doug put more effort into the production and writing of this video than was put into this entire movie
More effort than what’s put into his newer videos
That ending speech about what Christmas was, was so pure!
The post credit joke at the end was better
I personally like that bit, and how much important putting in effort is.
(Regardless of what season it is.)

Merry Christmas though let's enjoy this time with the people we care the most, as they won't be around forever.

Critic's reviews are often more fun than the movie itself
But Eagle In A Beanie let's just agree that the review of Home alone 3 could have been a little bit better.
16:27 had me in tears. 😆
7:02 Actually that kid is the actress who voices Judy's real-life daughter. So yes, she probably didn't go through any audition process and got the role because nepotism. After Earth logic strikes again!
How do you know this? I mean I buy it but how do you know?
Sheridan Mann
Their IMDb pages (I was shocked to find out Elly was 7 when this was made - she sounds like a 3 year old!)
DENIED! ;)
Wait the actress who voices her IRL daughter? Is she also a cartoon character?
Hey at least in this case it was only in acting, imagine living in a place where nepotism is the norm for all businesses.
It has become a Christmas tradition to watch this humorous dumpster fire every year. Thanks for introducing it to me Doug!
Every chance I got, I've been trying to leave requests for Rifftrax to Riff this sucker!
I bet the creator regrets this mistake.
I watch this episode every Christmas Eve.
I watch both this and Phelous review every December.
It took all of two seconds of the movie footage to tell this is going to be a terrible movie.
Why not both
Why not a millisecond?
+Donald Grump (CEO of Trash Co.) because of delay.. you know, the reaction time.. for example if you are driving a car and see something that makes you feel like you should stop.. the time between you seeing the reason why and the moment you actually start doing something about it.. that delay is about 2 seconds (mostly under that time but some seem to be slower)
Kummo (RRM) I saw the animation and my mind kind of just shut down for a bit there.
+Brendan Fligg Very true sadly... sobbing right now...
This was similar to my first work. I'm a writer and I had a short story like this.
WHEN I WAS 8.
My gibberish as an infant had more structure than this.
Please , please tell more.
My dead robot companion had more emotion than any of these characters.
My barffing as a baby was less garbled then this.
my fan fiction from middle school was better than this.
So, the kids wear the exact same clothes everytime the mayor comes and he doesn't notice?
Yea there the same thing every time and he thinks it’s normal that he never sees the other kids in nice clothes
Exactly 😂
And they apparently aren’t growing, either, because they still fit in the clothes.
You'd think he would notice there's something fishy going on with Mrs. Mavilda, but no, of course he doesn't. He's a dolt.
He's a small town mayor. The less you expect from him, the happier you can pretend to be.
2013: This is the worst Christmas Special EVER!

18:09 "Frank, you still have that *electric* chainsaw of yours..."
18:29 (The sound of an obviously gas-powered chainsaw)
Its a hybrid lol
Maybe this Special was made by the same people who made Garbage Pail Kids Movie. Because they are so stupid that they don't know the fucking difference between gas powered and electric powered.

+CamTroid. Hey dude! I love the GLaDOS voice video you did.
we need a video of JUST Doug's speech and share it with people
Mikoyo15 👏👏👏 AMAZING!!!
We need the speech video
“What decapitated gingerbread cookie do they live on?”
This made me laugh way too much
It's sad seeing this after Doug's mother passed away
Oh my gosh, noo don't tell me that. I wasn't even going to look in the comments. Video ended, I was smiling. Then I looked down. I'm so sorry, my condolences... I'm so heartbroken.
Same, but I'm glad she got to appear in one of his videos. We got to see how wonderful of a lady she was. :)
When did she pass?
This isn't a bad joke? ;n; Now im just very sad.
Munjee Syedd I know.
Alternate ending: Mrs. Mavilda is assassinated by the Dark Brotherhood!
Update: For those who don't get the joke, there's a cruel and abusive Orphanage owner in Elder Scrolls 5 (ironically named Grelod the Kind) and you're hired as an assassin of the Dark Brotherhood to murder her in her own orphanage!
"Sweet Mother, sweet Mother, send your child unto me, for the sins of the unworthy must be baptized in blood and fear."
Cross Entertainment What is the music of life?
Colby Sparkman ...the dragonborn comes?
Colby Sparkman Silence, my brother.
Fun story - I murdered her in front of the kids but not the other nord, and I totally got away with it. No bounty whatsoever.
So that is where Elmer Fudd's rejected children were dropped off.
Also, the ending with Doug's parents and brother was heartwarming.
Judging by the amount of Fuddlings he never heard of condoms.
That end part always gives me chills, such a good message
The whole, "You always win when you are good," is such a stupid strawman message to give to children, especially for this movie...
First off, this movie has been about ORPHANS who LOST their parents (that probably died) and, for what we can see, seem to be pretty well behaved and good kids. One can argue that before the kids lost their parents that they all could've been spoiled little brats and /somehow/ became very selfless once their parent's died and they were sent to live with this bitch of a caretaker, but still...
Were the kids once upon a time very bad children and therefore deserved to lose their parents because of it?
Bloody Belle so, you're saying they all lost their parents because of karma? Statistically speaking, that's not very probable. They couldn't have all been spoiled.
I hate Christmas due to it being the time of year my mother was the most abusive and neglectful. I listen to Christmas music and have mini flash backs to the shitstorm that was the holidays. I stumbled upon this review by accident today and the ending... It makes me want to enjoy Christmas, and now that I'm living on my own that might just happen. I am looking forward to Christmas this year and I want to thank you for reminding me that Christmas is supposed to be good, and for teaching me something more about what Christmas really means.
Regardless of if you see this or not, Happy holidays Critic and Crew. May fortune follow you wherever you go.
I come back to this review every year, and it never fails to touch my heart. Doug absolutely nails it in his speech.
And it also touches my heart reading your comment. Seeing someone who has a reason to hate the holiday given new reason to make it a happy time of the year. And I hope that happens, too.
A Merry Christmas to you, and hopefully many more to come.
Hopefully you regained from your experience
I am so sorry
Merry Christmas. I will pray for you
Rebel Scum I will too
May god bless your soul friend.
No joke, I saw the actual DVD of this heinous special at Goodwill. Much later during my next visit there, I saw that it was gone. I feel sorry for the poor, lost soul who bought it.
they probably just threw it out to make room for other items
Hannah 653 lmao its the beginning of Monsters Inc. all over again😂
Maybe a reviewer bought it to rip it a new one, nobody should have to play full price for this crap and end up actually _supporting_ it!
"I am the bark of Satan. Those who wish to demean my evil will be bloodily smoted!"

Not to mention the fact that Lily is in that shot. Isn't she still missing at that point??? The substandard acting/writing/animation is one thing, but that kind of sloppy inattention to detail is absolutely inexcusable, IMO, and as Doug said, is a blatant example of a lack of effort.
Likes are at 69, just sayin'
The ending is proof Doug should make a Christmas movie
Didn't he make like 3-4 shitty movies
I really hope the child actors from this movie eventually watch this video
Something930 although they might not want to
I do feel sorry for them
"Dad, what did you do with the money I got paid for being in 'The Christmas Tree`?"
Or at least get more fantastic careers
@@ezelfrancisco1349 thats the best they can hope for
Everything looked half-assed. Bad animation, horrible acting, terrible plot, pointless moral. It was absolutely horrible. It seemed like this movie was made by kids who still believed in Santa. Also, the Santa in this special looks exactly like the Coca-Cola Santa. It's creepy. Also, the whole basis of the orphans being under the control by Mrs. Mavilda is exactly like Annie. Sounds like plagiarism to me.
and the characters look like they are made out of dough or clay
Ah, but you see, it wasn't plagiarism! Because unlike Annie, Santa electrocuted the evil woman! (Jk it was definitely plagiarism)
At least Annie gave all the orphans *names* and separate identities.
And it's all anachronistic. 1930s cars mixed with 19th century clothing and 1970s TVs and FUCKING CHAINSAWS.
it might have been animated by the creators of food fight
I just heard about what happened to Doug's mother. I can't believe she passed away.
This really tears me apart
me either. this is the year of death aparelinty
How did everyone find out she passed? I couldn't Find a news Article or video about it.
it's the internet. u can find out somebody's bank account just by going to there YT account
What? Oh god, thats sad! :(
I never thought I would hear
“Ah so it was Santa who fried the flesh of a weak feeble woman”
That was the best Christmas Monologue I've ever heard, that was so good....
I'ma listen to it every year to get into the Christmas spirit
That's because he put effort in.
He put bottom of the heart effort even after this video, after his mother died... He still did his best effort...
"Christmas... Christmas... Oh, let me tell you about it..."
Me too.
that speech you did at the end was amazing
Doug and Robs mom seemed like a very kind hearted lady. I hope the Walker family has a wonderful Christmas in memory of their awesome mom
Jessica Meloy and a very visually protective mother for that matter. She forbade Doug from seeing the Garbage Pail Kids movie when that film was new at the theaters

The message at the end of this was VERY much needed for a lot of people.
myself included.

I LIKE DOOOOOOOGS!!!

That always cracks me up!
So damn funny
Does anyone know where that song is from or is it just a thing doug made with his crew for the joke
The ending was so inspirational
agreed
absolutely! I rly like how the whole family was included! cause I think thats what its all about. friends and family. or maybe your friends are your family. it´s about the people you care most about and thats how it should be imho ;)
+Brem So also don't cut down trees. You will die.
Jeremy Barker bruh that was meaning full
+Jeremy Barker It's about greed. and that is awesome.
That Christmas speech at the end is a mix between funny and sweet. And Rob going full out is the best part 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
4:06 This child was wearing a dress. That means that odds are this child is a girl. This means we are holding uncomfortably on a shot of a five-year-old girl with no shirt.
*FBI OPEN UP!*
Hands over your head
The odds say that it's a girl
But what if...
Oh...
Oh, no...
@@alexnacud25 Yamero
There’s also that one shot where Lily falls down the cliff that has a few frames of her dress flown up. Creepy..
Bruh, it’s not like there‘s anything there to sexualize. At that age, girls look exactly the same up there are boys. Now whether half-naked children forcibly being stripped of their clothes is something you‘d want in a Christmas special is another question…
Holy shit I just realized something , the Mayor in this is Old Man from Phelous , no seriously they look identical, his voice even turns into the Old Man voice at the end.
Dalibor Jovanovic I know it's been a year so you've probably forgotten this comment but Phelous did a review of this movie as well. The mayor and Old Man are "cousins"
Dalibor Jovanovic I was thinking that😆
Looking back and seeing his mom in this almost makes me want to cry. She looks so sweet
And to think this is the first christmas he's going to have to celebrate without her, poor Doug, and Rob and and their dad too.. :(
RIP Mrs. Walker. You raised two great sons.
Im so thankful this reivew exists. Watching this video has become a tradition for my husband and I. Every year we HAVE to watch The Grinch, Home Alone, Christmas Vacation, and this reveiw 😂😭 so thank you for blessing our lives with this. We will NEVER watch the "special", but your review has given us so much Joy 🤣❤️
This film is not bad
It is fucking awful
Can we go now
IT'S HORRENDOUS!!!!!!!!!!

Captain Cole Crunch you are not we are all in Hell just for seeing still shots from this movie
The Channel Awesome Nostalgia Critic series is something I very routinely go back to. It doesn't stop making me laugh and reminds me so much of better days. Thank you, Nostalgia Critic. You remember so I can remember it, too.
The end of this is so heartwarming...
and to preserve continuity of the series (Dr. Smith is/was supposedly Nostalgia Critic's abusive dad), they decided to add the line (for Doug's real life parents): "who the hell was this guy?" (and to return it to funny)
This man’s passion about terrible stuff is truly inspiring.
Surprised he didn't comment on 20:11. WTH is Lily doing there? Isn't she still missing???
ETA: Just saw 23:01. I guess they reused that bit for budgeting purposes. Who cares about consistency???
Just noticed something that I had never noticed about this special until now: In the opening scenes of the animation, it's clearly states that Mrs. Mavilda has been tricking the Mayor into believing she was using the Mayor's stipends to buy new clothes for the orphans; however, in the scene where the Mayor gives Mrs. Mavilda MORE moneybags he mentions that he hopes Mrs. Mavilda will use the new allowance to "make sure the children don't spend another Winter in PATCHES AND RAGS"!! Soooo, either the storyboard director had a stroke and forgot the previous scene existed....or the Mayor secretly KNEW about Mrs. Mavilda's misappropriation crimes and just either didn't care or was complicit.
Either way, this special blows hippo turds!!
I LIKE DOOOOOOOOOOOOOGS

I just realized something, the beginning of the movie was the FIRST SIGN IT WAS GOING TO BE A BAD MOVIE because it broke the NUMBER 1 rule in storytelling, show, don’t tell. The narrator FLATOUT told us that Mrs. Mevillda is evil. He should’ve left that out and let us see this for ourselves. Like, let’s take an example from Marvel, in their storyline, Messiah Wars (which is one of their weakest storylines, in my opinion), there was ONE THING ABOUT CABLE, he was poor. The text boxes didn’t tell us nor Cable himself didn’t see it, instead we can conclude that because they show him doing things suggesting he is poor such as eating out of trash cans, not putting clothes on his adoptive infant daughter, Hope, and having to use old clothes as diapers. That evidence alone told us that he’s poor, Marvel didn’t have to tell us, instead they showed us. See? It would’ve worked better if we figured out Mevillda was evil ourselves.
Also, I have a question, who was the intended target audience, it’s clearly not for kids because of the gambling and drinking scenes and Mrs. Mevillda having a hangover at some point. And it’s not for adults because it’s insulting to our intelligence. So, WHO IS THIS FOR EXACTLY?!
Also, where’s Mr. Mevillda? Given she’s Mrs. Mevillda, this suggests that she’s married. So, where’s her husband? Well, given she’s evil, she likely killed him. Or he left her because who would want to be with a woman like her?
Ugh, this movie is so terrible and has many MISSING PIECES.
Mrs. Hopewell was married, too... 𝘞𝘢𝘴
@ The playground was her widower.
@@angel-sparkle-j6dExactly
I agree with the Critic and his mother. Christmas is about putting maximum effort into it. And I can relate to having a bad time on Christmas. Around two or so weeks after the 2014 holiday season ended, I lost my grandfather. I was so upset that I had a breakdown in the middle of English class and had to be sent home to vent. And now I've moved and will soon be having my first Christmas in an alien environment, but through it all, I AM STAYING STRONG, and putting maximum effort into enjoying this most joyous of seasons and at the end of the day, THAT is all I can give. So whether you celebrate Christmas or not, I want all of you to put in as much effort as you can. To quote Ryan Reynolds' Deadpool: "Maximum Effort."
all I say to you is good luck.:-)
Declan Handley-Byrne I never thought I'd see a Deadpool quote in a heartfelt speech about Christmas.
Mando 314159 Fans will fan.
this was the worst Christmas special but that all changed when rapsittie street kids was made
No, this is still worse overall. At least the voice actors put in effort, even if the animators didn't.
"Did he just have a Vietnam flashback?" ROFLMMFAO!
what movie is that flashback from ?
Kung Lao I think it is actual footage of Vietnam.
