      Suggestions for Old Vs. New reviews:
      A Night To Remember 1958 Vs. Titanic 1997.
      Buzz Lightyear Of Star Command 2000 Vs. Lightyear 2022.
      Dawn Of The Dead 1978 Vs. 2004.
      Judge Dredd 1995 Vs. Dredd 2012.
      Omega Man 1971 Vs. I Am Legend 2007.
      Watership Down 1978 Vs. 2018.
      I know some of these have been reviewed before, but I feel these would all make good Old Vs. New videos.

    I really like that PSA. Basically reminds us that just because a guy looks tough, doesn't mean he is an abductor. And reminds us the actual truth that the majority of child abductions are by parents and loved ones, usually in defiance of a custody order.

    I think what also made the PSA worked is that they showed that even women can be predators too. In a society where female predators are often looked over, it's nice to see a PSA where it tells its audience that women can be just as bad as men when it comes to abuse and predatory behavior.

    That PSA is pretty accurate. Also, if you're a gal and you think you're in danger, if you see a rough looking biker, they are likely to help. I don't care if it's a guy in full Hell's Angels or Banditos gear, you have a pretty good shot, and you can easily end up with a full crew at your side in moments.

      Seriously, I remember a lot of these PSAs(except this one), and most of them used fear tactics to get their message across.
      Cause let's face it, people are stupid. Also, the only PSAs I can think of that were kind of cute or entertaining, were the concern children's ads.
      Some include the mother reading a storybook to their kid, the mice and the mousetrap, and the musical rap about drugs.

    On the topic of Zelda commercials, I still think my all time favorite has to be the Robin Williams one where he’s narrating for the Ocarina of Time 3DS commercial, describing the adventure he went on to find the princess while clips of the game are shown, then it cuts to his daughter (also named Zelda) saying “are you confusing me with the princess again?” and without missing a beat he goes “well it’s hard to say; you’re both pretty magical.” It’s so sweet and wholesome and never fails to put a smile on my face.

    Last year’s commercial special ended with Doug, Jim, Tamara and Malcolm watching a Japanese ad for Sakuru Gummies. There was a part with a commercial for Chicken Limbo in it where the Critic thinks a chicken was high as hell on pain medication. How weird was that? Even the critic looking at me during the charity shoutout reminded me of an ad for SeaWorld featuring Shamu the Killer Whale in it.

    I know it is ironic for Sprite to give away free stuff in an attempt to sell their product, years after telling them not to do so, but perhaps someone grabbed the helm at one point and stirred the ship in a different direction. As for the PSA at 28:32, it appears as if it were directed by M. Night Shyamalan.

    Ok here's the thing, I had both a My Buddy doll and My Pet Monster. The Buddy doll got left over at grandma's house as soon as I saw Child's Play 2, just in case. But I dragged that monster everywhere. He was dark enough that he didn't show dirt, so I'd take him into the woods behind my house for adventures. I used him as the main villain in my ten year old's attempt to remake Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, with my actual pet turtles and dual vcr editing. He was a weird toy for sure, so hideous that only boys would want him, but boys weren't big into plush dolls, but that just meant that he didn't fit in anywhere, which made him fit equally well everywhere. A great jumping off point for your imagination, which is what the best of toys always are.

Also one day you need to cover the Robin and Zelda Williams Legend of Zelda commercials. Honestly if you ever need a palate cleanser and a reason to cry, those commercials will do it.

This is the channel's first attempt at a drama since the early 2000s and does a great job keeping the audience's attention and keeping them guessing while not talking down to them! They may not have the same amount of shock value or hilarious jokes that Amphibia and The Owl House are famous for, but compared to so many live action kids shows from the 2020s, it's a step above the rest!
