Over the summer of 2008, the The Nostalgia Critic put out a search for a female counterpart. After the contest was over, it turned out that counterpart would be none other than Lindsay Ellis a.k.a. TheDudette a.k.a. The Nostalgia Chick. Several episodes have been produced by Lindsay. The show started out much like that of her male counterpart. The only difference? She reviewed the shows and movies targeted to female audiences since Doug had never watched them growing up. In fact, that was how the search for the Nostalgia Chick began. In August of 2008, Doug got tired of getting requests for shows he never saw since he is a guy. So, a contest was held to find the Nostalgia Chick. Lindsay won and in no time at all, the series began.

This was the first Nostalgia Chick review and was the one to get TheDudette onto the site. This was also the first time her "Puppies!" running gag was used.

Lindsay was immediately turned off by Louise's selfishness right from the start of the movie. She criticizes the character's messiah complex and in the end feels the movie lacks plot and any resolution.

The Chick sees this movie as Don Bluth surrendering to the power of Disney. The music and animation were good in her view, though. ThatGuyWithTheGlasses has a guest spot as Rasputin and Lenin.

The Chick laments how the show was just a female version of her popular male counterpart, He-Man, and failed to make a significant impact. She also wasn't a fan of the movie's fake-outs.

The Chick feels that this movie teaches children to lose their virginity quickly, which would be unusual for Disney. She also criticizes the witches' acting almost like pedophiles.

Lindsay accuses the movie of promoting stereotypes and sending out the message that objectifying the opposite sex is fine if it's woman objectifying men. Also, the movie appears to have several sub-plots without having a main plot, constantly injects random scenes that make no sense and basically attempts to portray the Spice Girls as near-gods. Still, the band did promote the ideal that friendship never ends (ironic for a band whose members can't stand to be in the same room together nowadays) and also starred Meat Loaf... much to Lindsay's delight!

The Chick lists her choices for the Top 10 Disturbing and Inescapable Christmas Songs. This was the first times her BFF, Nella, and another friend, Elisa Hansen, made personal appearances.
