The Pebble and the Penguin is a 1995 animated musical comedy adventure film directed by Don Bluth and Gary Goldman. The film stars the voices of Martin Short, Jim Belushi, Tim Curry, and Annie Golden. Based on the true life mating rituals of the Adélie penguins in Antarctica, the film focuses on a timid, stuttering penguin named Hubie who tries to impress a beautiful penguin named Marina by giving her a pebble that fell from the sky and keep her from the clutches of an evil penguin named Drake who wants Marina for himself.

Don Bluth is a legend
I agree!
Channel Awesome yeah and to think he was a talking skateboard
The rip
jonasinn nation train?
jonasinn nation train?
Hay the wall is back😕
Why the fuck do these penguins have teeth!?
Oh, good. I'm NOT the only one unnerved by that!
geese have teeth
Sky's best freind
This is a very question that I am actually a little disturbed by possible answers.
Exactly what I was thinking. It looks weird and off putting.
Sky's best freind Iago has teeth.
Doug: "Why do Penguins have hands?"
Me: "I dunno, why do they have _teeth?_ "
So Don Bluth can make ends meat.
Me: The better to grab and eat your soul with.
I can't help but wonder even further: Why do they have hands that look and function more like mittens than actual hands? In fact, why does that seem to happen in a lot of animated animal movies?
@@Aluhcav Don Bluth said that he and Goldman hate this film so much they wanted to remove their names from the credits. Don was unable to do so.
@@lukebragg8547 Don Bluth said that MGM interfered so much, that he and Gary Goldmen wanted their names removed from the credits. However Don can't do that.😔
Did anyone else notice how RAPEY that "don't make me laugh" song is?
Rosalie Kitchen as in rap or rape
Rosalie Kitchen yeah.... I had that weird sense when I was little. It felt a lot like the Lizard song from Ferngully...
So yeah. Rapey.
Well, he is the bad guy, so can you blame him? Never noticed that till now
My childhood is ruined, again
Fun bit of trivia: that song almost earned the film a PG rating.
"Rocko, there's something you should know. . . ." "Your modern life is no longer in reruns." Nailed it.
He's got a movie now
Or even better: "That gum you like will _never_ come back in style."
But he is back
also you need to lay off the drugs.
@@masterfarr8265 Don Bluth said that he and Goldman hate this film so much they wanted to remove their names from the credits. Don was unable to do so.
Funny thing is: Male adelie penguins actually gather pebbles to impress the females. They then use them to build their nests. Some birds have really complex courtship rituals. And by the way, that seal is no mutant. It's a leopard seal. They're huge as hell and eat penguins.
Yes, and they can be even dangerous to humans (the leopard seal)
He Addresses the Leopard Seal mistake in his Ernest Scared Stupid review
I don't see how that's funny
@@proudtitanicdenier4300 When he referred to it as 'funny', he meant funny as in strange or odd or interesting.
@@seandewar47 when?
"Blah, blah, blah,cTim Curry is evil." Love that joke.
nice
lol
true
Tim Curry could read me the phone book and I'd listen. He's great no matter what he's doing, evil or not.
amen
I bet Racko isn't flying at the end, they are just going to Heaven. They're dead.
Francisco Arruti Because all penguins go to Heaven....;)
So that's why they were wearing the Santa hats
tenchiofJurai67 , ba dum tshh
Francisco Arruti doesn’t he say something like “I’m looking at a dead penguin” or something early in the movie?
He wouldn’t go to heaven he’s definitely going to hell
If I recall, Don Bluth himself hated the final product to the point he asked for his name to be removed from the credits.
Of _course_ he did. I've noticed that a lot on these reviews that involve "a bad Don Bluth movie". There's always "Oh, Don Bluth actually hated this movie!".
It doesn’t feel like it’s done, to paraphrase his Angry Birds review. The story is full of plot holes, unfinished animation, lots of useless stock characters...
Don Bluth is like George Lucas. He liked a Toll in Central Park but he also hated The Pebble and the Penguin. All the while George considered the Phantom Menance a masterpiece but at the same time he despised the Christmas Special.
@@penny1545 George only provided the idea and first script draft. By the end of it all it literally resembled absolutely nothing like the draft he wrote.

Leopard seals are MASSIVE dude, that was to scale. They can get almost twelve feet long!
I thought as a kid they over hyped the size, then I saw a real one. HOLY BEJESUS!
fureals??

"From the man who brought you 'Marry the Mole'"
Can we finally get a Thumbelina review?
Does that mean he's not gonna review it?
reviewer dibs are not a thing at least that's what he said to get out of reviewing haunted mansion with Some Jerk with a Camera. if reviewer dibs were a real thing then he wouldn't have reviewed Hocus Pocus
(Nostalgia Chick and Nostalgia Critic both reviewed Labyrinth so why not?)
Someone wrote "marry the mole"? I thought it was just the voice actress of the mouse getting drunk before a scene and trolling it, without realising it would be in the final product.
Lmao yes
aww man this is a classic, almost 'nostalgic'
virus4812 huh, a nostalgic nostalgia critic, almost sounds like a paradox
Not paradoxical, just fun to say.
Completely diaper
the review or the movie? cause both aren't that bad
virus4812 I watched this movie and all my class mates agreed with me that the evil penguin looks like a. Fucking wolf
I just noticed Tim Curry's character has a loincloth.
Damnit
Which is weird since Penguins don't have penises, just cloacas.

You think this movie got too many songs, wait until you see "Strange Magic". Every five minutes a song appears.
@Joshua Fischer Or Les Miserables
You are all going to hate me but
I enjoy Strange Magic as a big guilty pleasure!!!!
@@questworldiangreenknight7455 same, I love that movie!
At least there, they're beloved classic songs. Here, it's just the crap Mannilow couldn't find a place in Thumbelina. Probably. 😊
@@questworldiangreenknight7455 Strange Magic had its charm though. The fairies looked extremely uncanny but the dark forest actually had a really neat style with good CG to match with it. Also I really liked how they didn't use the "looks dont matter but ugly love interest dude magically becomes a handsome guy in the end cause we ain't believing this s**t either" cliché. Overall if they opted for an original soundtrack instead of making a boombox musical, it could've even been a bizzare but memorable classic like Rango (which was awesome btw, prob my favourite western movie alltogether)
Penguins were very popular in the millenial age...
Pebble and the penguin
king dedede
club penguin
crump (yugioh) as the nightmare penguin XD.
penguins of madagascar
happy feet
empoleon evolution line
march of the penguins
surf's up
woah..thats alot
believe me i know since i had a penguin obsession as a child and teenager XD still kind of do...
JSD King Dedede is still popular cuz ... HE’S A SUPERSTAH WARRIAH!!!!!!!
SapphireDragon95 / JSD LoL I used to have a huge obsession with penguins also xD
HEY KIRBEH!!!
And the Kid Cuisine penguin
Club penguin.. that was my childhood.
I love this movie, one thing you can't deny about Bluth's movies is that they had heart and soul in addition to consistently great animation. Even if they were a little weird.
AH! PENGUINS WITH TEETH! MAKE IT STOP!
They wear clothes too. Its not a big deal that they have teeth.
"They float, Hubie. They ALL float! And when you're down here with me...YOU'LL FLOAT, TOO!"
-Drakewise the Dancing Clown Penguin
😂😂😂😆😆😆🤣🤣🤣
I loveeeed this movie as a kid. It has such a fun soundtrack, you can't deny it. Plus it's not often we get main characters with speech impediments or disabilities. Hubey has a speech impediment, and probably anxiety too, but he's not considered weird because of it. It's not really mentioned, either if I remember. His stutter is just portrayed as a normal part of him, and I think that's pretty wonderful for such an old kids movie.
(And Rock a Doodle is fucked up, but SO hilariously quotable, ok? I love that freak movie)
Rock a Doodle is what happens when high people get to write movies XD
That's actually a leopard seal and they are pretty big...
Yeah but as the NC said, the penguins are regular sized compared to humans. If you compared the seal to the humans then it'd look like a teenaged Megalodon.
I LOVE SEALS. and that is a large but believably sized one
Teenage mutant ninja megolodon.
@@adaptorperish1322 Leopard seals can grow up to twelve feet in length, twice as long as the average human and can weigh over half a ton. Adelie penguins are roughly 70cm, a little over two feet at max.
....you put Anastasia with the bad ones? I love that movie. Not historically accurate by any means, but an enjoyable movie.
Right. I think Doug is due to review that one, isn't he?
AGREED
*Agreed*
He reviewed the prequel/spin-off
I love Anastasia as well, but I also love Pebble and the penguin too, so... Shrugs...
this movie was MY SHIT WHEN I WAS YOUNGER
Casse Toi *SHOT
Yeah, don't throw away your shot!
sorry I'm done now
+Tia Di is that a Hamilton Joke I detect?
Ian Nithmask but it was different type of, shot that killed Hamilton
TheShinyShinx ... maybe
*cough* why is Anastasia on the bad list? *cough*
seriously, i really want NC to review Anastasia and explain his point, who is with me?
rafa polonio me
Keep in mind when he showed Anastasia, he showed it while saying 'For every good film'. I'm pretty sure he wasn't insinuating it was a bad film.
keepcalmncarryon97 Because it’s an awkwardly-animated Disney knock-off with irritating characters and a disjointed plot held together with nothing more than coincidence and a few decent song.
rafa polonio same , along with all dogs go to heaven, land before time and Thumbelina...
Oh and Titian A.E .... well that last one I didn’t enjoy
When this was scripted, did no one sit down and think 'sexualising penguins and bringing in a matter that girls need to choose a partner or be alone aimed at kids, is a tad unsettling isn't it?'
At the time? it was what most people believed. Heck, barely ten years ago you could still find people thinking girls should be married before 25 or they were a failure as women.
@@NeroCM Where I live this is a normal thing
@@saltgay where do you live?
@@NeroCM in Russia
@@saltgay Only thing I know of Russia is that it is a communist country, that it's massive, and that it is considered one of the world's superpowers.
That's a Leopard seal, they can get upwards 3.5 meters and weigh about 500-600kg. So that size isnt rly that wierd...
5:06 Tim Curry’s American accent killed me 😂
Sew... NEURD
I really like the melodies of the songs in this movie, but the lyrics make me cringe every time.
Also, penguins with hands may be distracting, but I think the teeth distract me even more.
Oh, and how they modeled the female penguins with skinny waists and pronounced chests and thighs to make them look more like human women, because apparently Don Bluth beats off to penguins like Dan Schneider beats off to feet.
IT'S. A. KIDS. MOVIE!
Let the kids fucking dream without comments!
Yeah, it's not like they're animated in any way but hey, I guess talking objects in Beauty and the Beast is an abomination too. 😂
@@codybgamin That's how athropomorphising works for companies, sadly. The male animal looks like a normal animal but with a human "translated voice", and then... there's the female animal with human hear, thin waist, long legs, lipstick, eyeshadow, big chest and a pink bow/flower. :(
That "mutant seal" is NOT a seal it is a sea leopard. They prey on penguins and can grow up to 11.5 ft in length.
What is it with NC and misidentifying leopards?
Magnus Høier Holck Well he confuses animals a lot of times.
... sea leopards are a type of seal.
The leopard seal, also referred to as the *_sea leopard_* , is the second largest species of seal in the Antarctic.
Dude, it's basically the same fuckin' thing, that's why.
He even called the leopard in Disney's Tarzan a cheetah in his Disneycember review!
Maybe he didn’t know what it is
I... I liked Anastasia.
Grinning Marionette Same! One of my favorites.😓
TheGirlThatCanShipAnything
Yay! I'm not alone in loving that movie!
I mean it had a lot of weird stuff, but, I really loved the film as a whole, it had really nice animation, character designs, music, visuals, and a nice, somewhat tragic story.
Grinning Marionette Exactly, that movie gets way to much hate. I even like it better than some main stream Disney movies. Glad to see I am not alone!
Grinning Marionette You aren't alone. I loved it growing up, and I still like it. Generally people who get too hung up on realism or are rabid Disney fans are the ones who hate the movie.
Bethany Ashley Sad, but true....
I know why Rocco can fly because he ate Taco Bell before this
Or he drank Red Bull, because Red Bull gives you wiiings ;).
D.J. Rose you stole my thunder.
My grandparents used to have this on VHS. My 8 year old former self even thought this was "meh".
Ditto. Even though there was a very small part of me that kinda liked the idea behind it.
Same here. I watched it at my grandparents place one Thanksgiving; and it was so strange that I thought I hallucinated it (until I found this review a while ago).
I remember watching this. I knew different people in entertainment by nicknames related to their work, such as calling Nathan Lane "The Timon Guy" or James Arnold Taylor (The voice of Obi-Wan) "The other Obi-Wan guy". At the time (I constantly switched names for Don Bluth, never sticking with just one), I read in the credits "The Secret of Nimh guy made this", and with how bad the movie was (I knew it was bad and hated it at age eight), I felt genuinely offended.
Low-key, this move was a favorite of mine as a kid.
I got it with the all dogs go to heaven movies, also classic favorites.
The main penguin is kinda ugly and the theme song is definitely annoying.
@@kirkbupkis Go watch Mulan 2 then come back to say what your thoughts on what you say are now
Same
This is still my favorite movie and I’m almost 30. Haha
Besides beauty and the beast, this was my favorite childhood movie. I liked how weird it was, the animation style, and Tim Curry was excellent.
NC, are you ever gonna review Anastasia and/or Titan AE? I personally think they're good Don Bluth films. But I'd like to hear what you think of them.
If I recall correctly, Doug has done a 'Real Thoughts on Don Bluth films'. If not /that/ one specifically it was touched on a bit in a 'Real Thoughts' on another Don Bluth film he has reviewed. A full review of either would be interesting, regardless.
Mostly hopping for titan ae , that movie surprisingly didn’t survive
I will give the movie this; the liar reveal trope was painlessly quick
Not the best Don Bluth film, but at same time not the worst. A "Meh" kinda movie in my opinion.
Well that was uncalled for.
So.... I guess stacked against something like "Cock-A-Doodle-Doo", the movie isn't a complete flop otherwise?
One thing I could easily identity with NC over: "Look How We Get Along Together" is one of those songs that makes me cringe so hard I feel like I should be put in a straightjacket in a nice soft room away from all possible sharp instruments to keep me from committing suicide.
I think the worst would be tied between A Troll in Central Park and Thumbelina. At least this penguin actually made an effort to get this pebble for the girl penguin. Thumbelina spent the entire film fainting and whining that life was impossible before she accidentally got her man. And a Troll in Central Park was just shit. This one is definitely the third worst of his movies though....the best being Secret of Nimh, the Land Before Time and All Dogs Go to Heaven.....only because the mouse's parents are blind as a bat when it comes to finding their kid. lol
At least this movie was better than Troll in Central Park, it was a step in the right direction for Don Bluth, until Anastasia came out and Don Bluth had a big hit.
Why do keep giving birds teeth!? Stop it! :'(
Also, the pebble didn't even do anything. It shoulda been called "The Falling Boulder" rather than "The Pebble" since that did a lot more work on the bad guy than the magical space pebble.
Drake had a brutal death SO BRUTAL it might be on Mortal Kombat.
I love how the preview image of this video are the Penguins of Madagascar helping Critic beat up the main character of this movie.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I'm sorry, Tim Curry as the villain always makes any movie worth seen in my opinnion.
8:49 Waldo is in the upper left corner.
Rdskinsfan27 thanks
Sing along everybody!: "There are no seals in Antarctica and the streets are paved with fish . . ."
tbh I luved the don't make laugh song
Lovie Brown and misery
True
Nostalgia Critic: This Seal must have been a radio active mutation at sea world!
Me: Actually Doug, that's a Leopard Seal, the natural Enemy of Penguins. And, according to Google, those things grow up to 12 feet in length. Hense the reason it's so Large.
No one cares
Scout Trooper TK 3000 oh shut up hater. Nobody asked for ur negativity
@@cainbutler6291 Exactly!
Nine_Tails137 I got ur back, dude💯. But yeah, like critic said, this movie isn’t bad, it’s just awkward asf in some scenes with repetitive songs, and cheesy dialogue lol. Other than that, it’s fun to watch. Don bluth always had strange movies lol.
@@cainbutler6291 Thanks! I realize NC is saying that for comedy, but I would assume he knew about leopard Seals before saying that?
Anyway, I remember watching the Pebble and the Penguin as a kid and liking it, but looking back on it as an adult, I agree. It is awkward asf, and has repetitive songs and cheesy dialog. Land Before Time, An American Tail ,and The Secret of Nimh were much better Don Bluth movies IMO.
Tim Curry's voice was just perfect for the villain, he already made Hexxus and he was GORGEOUS with all the uppercase letters because his voice is just perfect for an evil guy
Just rewatched this recently. It was as good as it was when I was 5 and eating glue.
Can go awhile without seeing it again.
Shadowtechnik Glue, yes.
Did I miss something crucial while watching Anastasia? Why is it in the bad part of the list? It's pretty solid imo. Beautiful music, pretty animation, good and engaging story. The characters are fine, Anastasia being a girl full of wonder in the beginning to then grow up, and even defeating the bad guy. I can think of one song that has NOTHING to do with the movie, but the rest is wonderful, with often good and sometimes useful plot-details. I could go on and on about why it's good, but what is so bad about it? Somebody please explain.
Miss Sery You are not alone, been a while since I saw it but i still listen to "dark of the night"
Me too, love to just put on the whole soundtrack sometimes and bathe in nostalgia and eargasm
Miss Sery oooh I member ( south park reference)
Yeeees, I always have them member berries close
Miss Sery member rasputin ?
In fairness, on my "Cheese Meter," this movie is, "Bad, but still Gouda," which is far from a complete "Swiss Miss."
You have a cheese meter?
Molly O'Kami Is there a Could've Been Cheddar setting?
Boy, as if Happy Feet wasn't weird enough.
Agreed
Credit where it's due, I get the impression that the actors voicing the characters put quite a bit of effort into their roles. Jim Baluchi and Tim Curry seem to have especially taken to their parts. Good on them :)
When Jim Curry voices a villain, it's actually good.
I know this is a 7 year old comment but why did you say Jim Curry instead of TIM Curry? We’re you thinking of Jim CARREY?
Ya I thot he was real great when he was that transvestite scientist in that one movie with the meatloaf man.
Why is Anastasia in the bad section? I love that movie
just because you like something, that doesn't automatically make it good, it just means that you like the film
I think it's because Anastasia was practically a Disney princess ripoff. This isn't my opinion, (I've never even seen it before) thats just my observation from what Critic has said
I love it too
Anastasia WAS good, but it was:
A. Basically copying everything Disney does.
and
B. A 'Historical' story that is really, really bad at history.
Neither of which actually has any effect on its inherent quality as the animated musical it is, but both of which prompt people to hate on it.
i found it enjoyable too, and it got 2 amazing songs in it :p
No offence, man, but your Morgan Freeman voice is dreadful
I've heard a better impersonator in a SeaNanners video.
Mikaela Nielsen
I can smell you.
DartsTheMonkey lol
The "Morgan Freeman" from the Jimmy Timmy Power Hour was TERRIBLE. It might have been saved if they got the actual Morgan Freeman.
If only Gassymexican was here "I can smell you" XD
Lmao the free willy song
I thought that was quite the interesting touch. I was thinking he'd do a "Free Willy" reference since orcas are in the film, although they look more like they were from the movie "Orca". If you don't what that is, it's like "Jaws" but with a orca seeking revenge after hunters kill its mate and unborn calf.
darthstarkiller1912 yeah ive seen that one before
this movie is ironic given that adelie penguins are the least faithful partners in the animal kingdom. they will literally cheat on their mate with a hole in the ground, to completion.
This and The land before time were the very first animated movies I've ever seen. Not a disney movie like most people! So it holds a place in my heart. It might be bad, but I still love it. I know all the songs by heart, and yea. I love it. I also enjoyed your review on it. Good one Critic
Jiji the Squid And I ye respect your opinion
I am the same way. I haven't watched this movie in years so maybe I might realize it's bad if I watch it now but I still love it as well.
Daniel Price Bless
Really mine as well. Though my favorite is still american tale
my first might have been something like Muumipeikko ja pyrstötähti (-92), which means something like "moomin and the comet" or something, it was never made into english dub ò o there is a new puppet version of it, but the original was cool af.
Are you kidding me?... Titan AE is a good movie... Come on.
Finally! Someone besides me who actually thinks Titian AE is a good movie!
Andrei It is.
Sham Wow Guy well, yes. But if you meant it as a reason why that movie is bad, you should know that Star Wars can be explained as "that movie that has dog creature as co-pilot".
Andrei Or, "That movie with Jar Jar".
Andrei and TimeTravelPony
It took me THIS long to remember the name of that movie, thank you for the reminder. But yeah, it is a good movie.
Anybody find Waldo in that picture? I did.
KentuckyWallChicken I paused and found it in about three seconds
I found him almost instantly. I think it was out of luck.
It? Were you afraid of assuming Waldo's gender?
DartsTheMonkey very funny, but actually I was more referring to the place I found him. 'anyone find where waldo was?' yes, I found it. It referring to where he was. Not him.
*whoosh*
Is it just me, or does Drake's attire look like Papyrus's from Undertale? (I know this movie came out in the 90's, but let me have my moment)
Fun fact: Don Bluth says that this was his worst movie. He hated it so much that he refused to be credited for this movie
I thought he hated "Troll In Central Park" more. I definitely believe he hated "Pebble" but I do think "Troll" was just as bad of an experience.
Watching Nostalgia Critic oldies makes me feel nostalgia while I feel nostalgia.
Tbh Titan ae was actually a pretty good movie.
yeah, the trailers were cut really badly so it made the film look way worse than it was, kinda like a reverse cloverfield
yeah I loved it
From Google images it looks pretty good and it seems to have a good premise. Imagine Nostalgia Critic pre review being like 'I shouldn't keep my hopes up after seeing all of those other bad Don Bluth movies this one has to be." and then cut to him later being sad and one of his other guys being like "Was it that bad?"
And then Nostalgia Critic looks to them and says "That's just it...it wasn't."
out of all Don Bluth films, An American Tail has always been my all-time favorite. Especially the sequels. It is everything an animated film should be. I also had a huge crush on Tanya.
Jay Play Ahh, yes. Tanya Mousekewitz! The OTHER character that spawned a thousand furries....along with Gadget from RR
tenchiofJurai67 I have seen some crossover arts with her and Gadget
Jay Play Tanya is total hottie.😘😍💕😁
11:47 The leopard seal is voiced by Clint Eastwood. Headcanon accepted.
10:38 Wasn’t that scene heavily borrowed in “The Killing Joke”? Only there it kinda made sense. This shit is random.
I thought "Anastasia" was a pretty good movie, even if it wasn't historically accurate.
From what I hear, Russia loves it.
Kimi FW not sure if you’re being sarcastic or not, but a lot of people of Russia hates it
What movie is? 😂
Monster Hanna making this movie is like making a movie about Anne Frank escaping the holocaust
Oh the nostalgia of an old Nostalgia Critic review.
Universal: Don, we need you to make an animated musical about penguins. Look up something unique about penguins.
Don: penguins use rocks for a mating ritual...Boom, penguin looks for the perfect rock to get laid
You know, for kids!
This one of those movies that falls into the Guilty Pleasure category.
Not guilty at all. I love Hubie it showed that the inside matters more than the outside which is important for kids.
Titan A.E. was actually good though. Grant it I have not watched that movie in years so maybe my opinion might change if I watched it again now.
I don't know which I love more your old review or your new ones. I love the witty lines and cut away jokes of the old review and the visual and skit humor of your new review. I try to do a bit of both to see which one fits better so far it has been the witty jokes and cut aways because my acting ability is still getting work done. I think that out of all his shitty movies he made in the 90's this one is probably the best one as it's not to insulting of intelligence and also got people interested in penguin movies again so we could get happy feet and stuff and it has Tim Curry as a villain how can you go wrong with that. Well I guess Tim was taking any role he could where he can be an over the top villain so he could have done this role in his sleep hell I wouldn't be surprised if he wasn't even told he was a penguin. Stick with this era NC this is your expertise and I love it, if you are interested in a later era well then, Hey I'm the NC JR I remember ABOOT it because I need reassurance that I'm not the only one EH. Wishing NC senior would review things from your generation(1999-2010s) Never fear your friendly neighborhood Canadian Critic is here. LATEST REVIEW TEEN TITANS
Yeah man I love Tim curry but it seems like he was milking the villain role for quite some time. Don't get me wrong I love his villain roles but I think he got type cast as them and his job opportunities lessened. Also love your channel idea totally subbing keep it up.
Don Bluth is a god and I really hope that that dragon slayer game movie comes out that would be so awesome cause that will probably be his last work before he sadly passes away. I hope he won't for a while though
I think that the witty humor and cut aways are more of consistent streak of humor as they are simple but hilarious and if you aren't fully invested in the skits or they just aren't written well then they will fall flat and make you dislike a large portion of the episode because of the failed joke.
Yeah I agree with that Maximilian. That's why I'm staying mostly with the safe choice of cut aways and stuff but if I have a genuinely funny idea for a skit humor I will try it and they are usually short so if they are bad you only hate it for a brief time period.
say when you next uploading some content
Has nostalgia critic ever reviewed thumbellina or anastasia?
Noo
To be honest, I REALLY hope he does. I loved both of those movies when I was little, and well Anastasia is still pretty cool solid movie.
6:48 Has anyone noticed an animation error there? The background should be at least going closer to give the illusion of the camera going closer to the pebble. Because it is still, it looks more like Hubie is growing in size. XD
Funniest part of this video the title card has the Penguins of Madagascar tying up pebble and Nostalgia Critic making the hand of skipper
"Your life is no longer in reruns." Skip to years later when rocko's modern life does have reruns and even a new special.
I watched that film many, many times when I was a child... and I don't remember ANY of the songs. This must be the most forgettable soundtrack of a children's film ever.
Ilea Learn Eco And yet three of them are going through my head right now. 😂
I saw this many times as a kid. God I got sick of it!!!! My older sister loved this movie for some reason
22 years old and this is unironically my favorite movie -- It's goofy as hell, but I find it packed with charm (and I like the songs lol)
Also that's a leopard seal and they are indeed big 0-0
could he do basil the great mouse detective next?
@James Campbell Although he has reviewed good movies too like Jurassic Park, Deadpool 2, Face/Off, Mad Max and bunch of Arnie's movies
Heh heh heh..."pengroids"...don't know why but that got a laugh out of me.
This Drake guy is basically like Gaston.
You know, but terrible in general.
Drake’s torso looks like a lightbulb 💡
Why is that the older NC videos are allot funnier, then the new ones?
Asylum117 He was trying harder back in the day.
Asylum117 i dunno, I kinda like both the same.
Asylum117 no sketches
Didn't do stupid ass sketches.
Its because back here, he didn't analyze nealy his much. He was more focused on comedy than criticizing. As such rather than pointing out why something does not work, he just says "That's not good. That's lame. That's silly. Hoo hoo hah hah."
As such his new reviews have more analytical stuff but less humor. Which is a fair trade off.
12:29 *NO NO MORE SONGS😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣😂😂*
"You could open a box of skittles and receive a musical number!"
Ever heard of Berries and Cream?
Weeeeelll, Critic found out that it was a thing in one of his commercial videos. (Don't remember which one)
Viansa Lozano I think it was Conquest of the Commercials. Let’s just say, it was a strong lead-in to another equally “interesting” ad about ice cream.
Doug and the penguins of Madagascar team up, kidnap Tubie and make the video's thumbnail.
"Pebble and the Penguin" was one of my favorite childhood movies when I was a 5 year old kid back in 1995 or 1996, and I still watch it every once in a while to relive my childhood memories. As a kid, I also called the pebble a stone as well, and I still call it a stone to this very day to also relieve my childhood. LOL
4:45 - The ”Star Light, Star Bright” stanza is actually an old English nursery rhyme. In other words; they were not ripping off Disney, seeing how they didn’t make it to begin with.
Heck, this poem has appeared in lots of stuff. It even appeared in the movie ’Dance, Girl, Dance’, which came out the exact same year as ’Pinocchio’.
Wish I may wish I might
(Mumbles)
I want all and I want it now
King nothing
😂😂😂😂
I used to love this movie. I watched it when I was home sick with an allergic reaction and a bad fever, so it made a lot of sense to me.
can you review the rocky horror picture show?
BADPRODUCTIONS 151 why? is awesome that film
There's always a possibility he could do an "Old VS. New" next Nostalgiaween of the old movie and the FOX remake.
Kimani Wilson-Hunte he could
BADPRODUCTIONS 151 one problem. he would have to go to a midnight screening
zapato yes
that was a poor morgan freeman impersonation
Truly the scariest thing this October.
This movie feels like someone said “hey why don’t we combine the character designs of secret of nimh with an American tale and make it about penguins.”
Gosh I remember Watching this movie.
It was made just before happy feet comes out in 2008!
Plus,
The new thumbnail for that Doug face looks much more unappealing than that old thumbnail with the Critic crossover-ing with Penguins of Madagascar to stop Hubey from the pebble and the penguin in their tracks than this one though.
Don Bluth is awesome! How would you like to have him on two episodes of Nostalgia Critic and interview him on your talk show you start in a few years?
This is a movie I watched over and over again when I was a child. I loved the singing.
Loved this movie as a kid! And, I'll admit, when I want to get my nostalgia on I still watch it!!
Doug's older reviews are superior to the crud he puts out today. Also, I love-love-love this video's thumbnail!
This is one of my favorite movies of my childhood. The animation, songs and not to mention ROCKO !
I STILL watch this movie to this day whenever I get the chance.
i never hated this movie, and i thought it was interesting turning real animal habits into a story. also if Tim Curry's penguin wears a cape, does that make him an Emperor Penguin? BA-DUM-TISH!
