The first Richie Rich is a big movie for me because one of my middle/high school ELA teachers showed it to us to talk about product placement and “subliminal” advertising. She had us make a list of every brand we noticed in it. I think she really just wanted to kill two days with movie days, which I truly understand down to my bones as a teacher now. It wasn’t a particularly inspirational lesson or anything but those fun moments are the ones that stick with me more than any more structured thing, and I do keep that in mind when I teach.
21:16 “Gumballs are made for….lasting a while” Alison, I cannot remember the last gumball I had where the flavor didn’t dissipate within fifteen seconds.
@@TommyDeonauthsArchives Stride Gum was sold in sticks, not gumballs. My point still stands. Although, those Ice Breakers cube gum last for a while, but they have flavor beads inside them.
The kid who plays Reggie was in an episode of 7th Heaven where he threatens to shoot Simon. He ends up shooting Stephen Collins. Also if you watch Kevin Smith films, he is the kid buying drugs from Jay & SB in the first Jay and Silent Bob film. Then he buys drugs in Clerks 2. In J&SB Reboot he is a guy running a dispensary at the convention. In Clerks 3 he is one of the people auditioning. He says a Jay line then comments he sounds like the guy he used to buy pot from.
The kid does have a name, Jake Richardson. I first knew his work as he brought Peter Hatcher to life based on the Judy Blume Fudge books 3 years before Richie Rich Christmas Wish. He had the best looks of disgust, especially when Shelia Tubman was around. You understand why he was in a "really bad mood."
For some reason, your comment reminded me of how Megan Fox was in 2 of the Bayformers films, was the worst April O'Neil in the Bay Ninja Turtles movies and now she voiced Kitara in Mortal Kombat 1... poorly. That was a long winded way of me saying: "I could say the same thing about Megan Fox."
I haven't thought about the robot from Richie Rich in probably 30 years, but now I'm wondering who'd win in a fight between her and Rosie from The Jetsons.
Fun Cast Facts: -Reggie's mother is Trump's at-the-time wife, Marla Maples (fitting since Reggie is a fascist) -Richie's redhead friend was a bully in Little Rascals -Richard Riehle's assistant cops includes Major Asshole from Spaceballs -the orphanage is run by the nun from The Blues Brothers
A Richie Rich movie with Riku from Kingdom Hearts, Dawn from Buffy the Vampire Slayer, the grandpa from Grounded for Life, Willard Craft from Sabrina the Teenage Witch AND Mr Levingstein from American Pie? Saban was a massive cocaine streak after Power Rangers.
"I think Casper's the ghost of Richie Rich." "Hey, they DO look alike." "I wonder how Richie died." "Perhaps realized how shallow the pursuit of money is, and took his own life..." "hrmmm, kids, could you lighten up a little?"
I appreciate that your collaborations have become more frequent. You're each great on your own, but together adds an atmosphere of fun that is intoxicating!
I'm just glad all the christmas wish energy is strong enough to give one with to the child who literally needs it less than anyone. I'm not finding any horrifying implications no siree.
Soooo in all honesty I feel the same way about Richie’s McDonalds as I do about that Taco Bell commercial with that NFL player; I’m sooooooo broken that all I can think is how fun it would be to work at a fast food place owned by and eaten at by just one person
I mean I’m assuming that McDonalds is there for staff and Richie was like “I mean I guess that’s what common people eat so why not?” but I might be overthinking it
@@SiRenfield It's a movie for kids. Even though your explanation probably makes more sense in real life, I think that in the context of the movie, Richie's a kid, and he likes McDonald's, and hey, isn't it cool that he has his own personal McDonald's
Wow going from living in a massive mansion with your own personal McDonalds to living out of the RedLetterMedia movie Warehouse with London from The suite life of Zack and Cody, Oh how the Macaulay's MacCulkin.
I didn’t realise that there was a Richie Rich Christmas movie until recently when it appeared on Disney Plus and that it’s also a cheap ripoff of It’s A Wonderful Life
Can imagine Reggie screaming toward the film's end, a la Hitler in "Downfall", "That was an ORDER!!!", straight out of the many "Hitler Rants" parodies.
Having the cop be a fascist stormtrooper in the alternate universe seems like some form of clever commentary I guess, but they likely didn't think that far.
Can't believe you didn't mention that Richie in this movie is also Riku in Kingdom Hearts (I typed this comment after only watching 7 minutes of the video so if they mention it later, no hate please lol)!
SABAN? Do they ever learn? NOPE! I take it they wanted Baywatch Nights for this incredibly odd sci fi premise of a future washout the most interesting character from modern fiction, Richie Rich. lol I'm looking forward to Addams Family Reunion, guys.
The 90s was full of cartoon-to-live-action adaptations. I think the trend may have started with The FLINSTONES Movie and then carried on with Casper, George of the Jungle, Dudley Doright, Inspector Gadget and finally Scooby Doo.
It still works that you mention Richard Moll, cuz he does have a Richie Rich connection. John Larroquette, who played the villain in the first Richie Rich film, was also in Night Court
I'm actually extremely surprised Phelous didn't mention "An Angel for Christmas" considering the similarities. a rich guy wanting to cancel christmas who has smokestacks throughout a city and has a few incompetent "Death squad" members. I bet Reggie had a Flange factory too.
I thought it was funny how Reggie always wants burgers, candy or ice cream as though this sequel wanted to show the dangers of eating junk food. However, the first film showed Richie Rich had his own McDonald's and drinking milkshakes while giving healthy food to Dollar as though the junk food is so awesome for kids. There's a deleted scene that was only shown on the tv airing of this movie where Reggie admits controlling Richie's sled and crashing it. Reggie apologized and Richie forgave Reggie. Richie gave Reggie and Reggie's parents presents. Supposedly, test audiences hated this ending where they wanted Reggie getting his comeuppance.
Allison are you going to review or talk about Steve Urkel Saves Santa animated movie!? This was supposed to be released a few years back under a different title but got cancelled but now it's finally been released! Jaleel White returns to voice Steve Urkel. Sadly the Winslows are not in the movie but the big guy aka Carl is referenced by Steve. 🎅🎄☃🎁
You guys are on a roll. You lauded two of me and my wife’s favorite movies of all time, finally tackled the 2 Garfield movies and now reviewing one of our favorite crap movies that we love to watch. Also Coffin n’ Nails forever mate!
I know I saw the first Richie Rich, but it came out when I was 4 and I don't remember it at all beyond the dog with the dollar signs painted on, but I'm having a sense of deja vu for this one, so I think I may have rented this one from Blockbuster at some point too...
Caught the Richie Rich Christmas Wish movie on YTV back in 2004 or something. It was kinda weird and cartoony but I guess that was to be expected from a Saban produced Fox Family flick based on some notable property. It is pretty dumb, but I'd take it over watching all 26 episodes of Ninja Turtles: The Next Mutation...
lmao, I think we are all shocked about Richard Moll's passing to focus on Richie Rich antics Actually the Richie Rich comics were INSANELY Popular during the 70s. Aside from the movie, even the the animated series was 15 years too late. I wouldn't go to say Richie Rich comics would sell well, just they published so many of them you probably could make a well insulated house out of them.
So, Cadbury is the butler of the richest people in the world, and he can't afford to have that tattoo removed? Also, there is precedent in the Richie Rich comics for fantastic super-science devices. I remember one where a scientist developed a shrinking ray. He was then killed by foreign agents (seriously!) who wanted the secret of the ray, and who then pursued Richie and his dad in a car chase, in which Mr. Rich (who was normally sort of an amiable dunce) pulls a pistol out of his jacket and starts blasting away at them! I swear, I am NOT making this up!
23:03 - alternatively, maybe in the original timeline, Richie is the reason those orphans _are_ orphans, and with no Richie in the new timeline, they never got orphaned. 😜

The more times "Addams Family Mistake" is mentioned, the more my curiosity about it grows.
There’s really going to be no limit to the mileage you’ll get from the “Great Simpsons joke, Phelan” clip!
Don't have a cow, Lupa!
I think it’s funny that it took Alison moving in to get Phelan to start using shelves for his collection! I’m not creepy I swear!!! 😅
Lol, i do miss phelous's messy shelf from the old videos but this is much better looking.
It's crazy to think about and i hate it now that you mentioned it.
"see, the poors, if we rich people weren't around... things would be worse!"
Poor Phelous. He just can't escape the Saban Cinematic Universe.
It all began with Ninja Turtles the Next Mutation
At least the Munsters’ Christmas Special is not by Saban.
Maybe he should try to find a New Way ?
@@Kolbatsuagreed 😊
I don't believe that Richie Rich knows what a washing machine is
14:38 I now want Donald Pleasence to hide behind a large gold mask taunting Reggie.
PEUUWWWMAMAN!! YOU ARE MADE OF EARTH! AND TO EARTH, YOU SHALL RETURN!!!
It's my birthday! Also, I edited this!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MATT!!!

@@danielcichetti5697 with Sally fields! At least In the video movie (made for TV first?) Of fudge-a-mania! 🥰🥰
First Ninja Turtles, then the Addams Family, now Richie Rich?! Saban had a mission to destroy every IP they touched, didn’t they?
They were modern Disney for their day...on less then half the resources.
For some reason, your comment reminded me of how Megan Fox was in 2 of the Bayformers films, was the worst April O'Neil in the Bay Ninja Turtles movies and now she voiced Kitara in Mortal Kombat 1... poorly.
That was a long winded way of me saying: "I could say the same thing about Megan Fox."
To be fair to Saban, I don't think people cared that much about Richie Rich to begin with
If you have a doggy door that's big enough to fit Richard Riehle, that's just called "a door".
I haven't thought about the robot from Richie Rich in probably 30 years, but now I'm wondering who'd win in a fight between her and Rosie from The Jetsons.

Richie Rich a movie about a billionaire kid done on the cheap.
billionaires refusing to spend money on things absolutely tracks
I'm glad Richie Rich used his magical wish power to help humanity. By wishing Adam's Family Mistake out of existence.
The brahs over at OSW once said that the entire appeal of Richie Rich is that he has a McDonald's in his gaff.

Finally Phelous has another 7th Heaven connection 😂
Richard Moll is dead? Well that makes getting him back for the reboot a lot harder.
I'm just glad all the christmas wish energy is strong enough to give one with to the child who literally needs it less than anyone. I'm not finding any horrifying implications no siree.
The villain is the hero's cousin who motivated by Wanting more money even though he is already rich? So he's just Antonio stark from Iron man?
I remember seeing the original Richie Rich movie and the only thing that the Biltmore Estate was used as the Rich Mansion for exterior shots.
At least Richie did not wish for a world without zinc
Soooo in all honesty I feel the same way about Richie’s McDonalds as I do about that Taco Bell commercial with that NFL player; I’m sooooooo broken that all I can think is how fun it would be to work at a fast food place owned by and eaten at by just one person

@@SiRenfield still I mean even if you’re cooking for the staff it takes the worst out of working in that kind of work.
Casper's Haunted Christmas is my favorite in all of Casper Media they did really well with the characters and Holly was a good parallel for him
Wow going from living in a massive mansion with your own personal McDonalds to living out of the RedLetterMedia movie Warehouse with London from The suite life of Zack and Cody, Oh how the Macaulay's MacCulkin.
What a way to learn that Phelous consider Bones to be the second best show to have ever be aired on TV.
I now remember seeing this as a kid, unfortunate memory unlocked
I didn’t realise that there was a Richie Rich Christmas movie until recently when it appeared on Disney Plus and that it’s also a cheap ripoff of It’s A Wonderful Life
Nice sweater Allison, & Phelous, well you always have bad ass shirts dude lol, y’all lookin goooooood lol
I love Phelan's Pokemon sweater t-shirt.
Can imagine Reggie screaming toward the film's end, a la Hitler in "Downfall", "That was an ORDER!!!", straight out of the many "Hitler Rants" parodies.
I know he was ACTUALLY in Home Alone 2, but this really FEELS like it should have Tim Curry in it somewhere.
Having the cop be a fascist stormtrooper in the alternate universe seems like some form of clever commentary I guess, but they likely didn't think that far.
Gonna love how Allison and Phelous keep teasing us about the Family Addams Mistake, Can't wait to see what had gone wrong in this reunion!
Can't believe you didn't mention that Richie in this movie is also Riku in Kingdom Hearts (I typed this comment after only watching 7 minutes of the video so if they mention it later, no hate please lol)!
Holy mackerel 😮
I remember seeing this movie on the Disney Channel sometime in the early 2000s. I think my main reaction to it was, "Um... okay?"
SABAN? Do they ever learn? NOPE!
I take it they wanted Baywatch Nights for this incredibly odd sci fi premise of a future washout the most interesting character from modern fiction, Richie Rich. lol
I'm looking forward to Addams Family Reunion, guys.

I didn’t even know this sequel was a thing before now! The last few reviews have been awesome! Not that your other videos aren’t awesome 😊
You know, another Simpsons reference that always stuck with me was, "I'm so hungry, I could eat at Arby's."
Fun fact- he's actually named Richie Rich due to his love of figgy pudding*
*I know we all love figgy pudding but he does a bit more.
Nice job with the Batman Returns joke in the ending stinger.
THE GUY FROM 7TH HEAVEN ALSO VOICES RIKU IN KINGDOM HEARTS
the robot is scary in both timelines

I thought Sabannukah came before Sabanmas, but I haven't been keeping up on my holidays.
Merry Sabanzaa everybody!
I make my family watch this every year...I think they're getting sick of it 😂
Not just no McDonalds sponsorship, but not even A & w Soda cola?
I remember seeing the comics back when I was a kid. I can't see the appeal at all, at yet it was popular enough for cartoons and movies.
Oh crap, Riku got rich!

Man, I wonder how long the streak of Phelan making simpsons jokes in these reviews will continue.
I remember watching this Christmas sequel. You can really tell it's low-budget in so many ways.
Reggie bribed Judge Buckle from the movie North that's how he came to power
You guys are on a roll. You lauded two of me and my wife’s favorite movies of all time, finally tackled the 2 Garfield movies and now reviewing one of our favorite crap movies that we love to watch.

Actually his final wish would make him effective3ly immortal, but only every Christmas, so he's The Santa Claus. Ha.
The fact that Irona has a god to evil switch is a bad idea.

Could have sworn Phelous once refrenced 7th Heavan actors being on Star Trek.
Correct 😊
The dad was in the first movie, the mom in the fourth movie.
Can't wait for the Richie Rich cinematic universe
Goofy Gestapo was my least favorite Mickey Mouse Club spinoff.
I adored watching this on cable every year. It's so silly but puts me in a fun Christmas mood 😊
Merry Christmas, Allison and Phelan. And a happy New Year!

Good to see the movie nights intro.
I guess theres a pun there with Wishing machine being a washng machine.
that maid robot is the stuff of nightmares!
Wait. 11:42 - I remember that tattoo. Is it possible I've seen this?!?
I need that Pokémas t-shirt so much 🥺
Might be a weird comment but Allison's editing is really incredible !
Matt does the editing for Movie Nights now, and he does a stellar job!
4:25 - They didn't even have the budget for a suit that fit this child!?
Great as always!
Its cute to see their still together after all these years. Are they married yet?
Yep!
Dollar is actually from the original comics, so he's canon for the Harvey-verse.
Happy Holidays🎄🎁🎀

I love the first Richie Rich movie and I barely remember much Richie Rich Christmas wish expert for those pigs in the movie.
TB has made a comeback in the Richless timeline
Seriously just watched a RLM video before this where they confused Richard Moll with Martin Moll
2 Episode Idea:
-the Christmas episode of Big Wolf on Campus
-Fizzy Bizness starring Tommy and Merton from Big Wolf.
How is this video the reason I'm putting together the kid in the only richie rich thing I knew existed was the guy who voices Riku Kingdom Hearts
Did you guys do an addams family reunion video that i just haven't seen yet?
It’ll be on Phelan’s channel soon!
I'm rather curious in what particulair movie that clip of Eugene Levy pushing a baby carriage into traffic come from.
