Private Notes
Despite being entranced by David Bowie, the Chick criticizes Jennifer Connelly's acting ability. This was the first time she used "Big Lipped Alligator Moment" after her and The Nostalgia Critic review of "Ferngully: The Last Rainforest". Overall, she said the movie was lovably weird.
Lindsey starts off by looking at the fact that Don Bluth's movies always seem to do well at the box-office at around the same time that Disney is in trouble and vice-versa (you need to count the PIXAR movies too though) and with that, the Chick takes a look at Thumbelina. Annoyed with the main character's pessimism, Lindsay attempts to make sense of this movie as it copies Disney's films in many ways (hell, Thumbelina is voiced by Jodi Benson, who also voiced Ariel in The Little Mermaid). In her view, the movie was just bad!
A look at the girl-targeted book-series-turned-movie. The Chick comments that series had a pretty genius way to appeal to girls by writing about stereotypical, relatable young women who both make friends and play with children. She notes that the movie goes into no detail at all about how the club was formed and has plenty of subplots instead of one main plot. The Chick finds that Jessie's lines are very cheesy, the subplot of Krissy bonding with her father has some unintentional innuendo, and Stacey's diabetes are treated like its a terminal disease. She also has trouble understanding the rap used to help Claudia with her test and the reasons for giving the greenhouse to the child-hating Mrs. Haberman. She occasionally plays music from Psycho to accompany footage of the children, who she finds more evil than the antagonists.
Lindsay and Nella go over the top 11 Nostalgic and Embarrassing Dance Crazes.
The Chick reviews what she thought was a science fiction movie and instead turns into something more dreadful. Not so much full of Big Lipped Alligator Moments, but rather the whole thing could be considered a Big Lipped Alligator Movie.
Lindsay reviews the phenomenon of Transformers from their rise in the 1980s to today. The Critic also cameos. The review accumulates in a review of the 1986 Transformers movie.
Awakening from a bad movie coma after seeing Revenge of the Fallen, Lindsay takes a look at "Armageddon" starring Bruce Willis. Notable for it's extremely racist opening scene, the high amount of scientific errors it contains, the fact that neither Ben Affleck nor Liv Tyler can act, and for the fact that the movie actually goes rapidly downhill once the protagonists blast into space.
The second part of her review of Armageddon goes over the plot and more explosions. By the end, she admits it feels good to review boy stuff. So, she begins to frolic in a meadow when NC himself ambushes her!
The Critic exacts his revenge on the Chick by keeping her in his basement and forces her to watch the 2007 Bratz movie. She endures the movie and tries to find a way out at the same time. Eventually, she reviewed the film and found the movie to be a landmark in bad movies for kids.
Donning the glasses again, Lindsay takes on a movie she admits she likes. Although, it does suffer from a few things like sidekickitis, and some historical things are wrong like what happened in Pocahontas.
Lindsay and her friend, Lauren take a hike in the woods and discuss "The Last Unicorn" and review it while on a search for the creature.
Lindsay takes a look at the Comedy Central staple where young Damon Wayons and Jim Carrey starred alongside Jeff Goldblum. She takes a look at the movie and says it wasn't all bad and lamented how aliens are still cool and wanted to be with them. But she describes it as a Julie Brown vanity project and criticizes the moral of the story.
'Disney Princess' used to be a term, then some executive at Disney decided there was money to be made and turned it into a brand. NChick looks at princesses over the years from Snow White to women in Disney movies who may or may not be considered princesses (for instance, Mulan is included and Alice sometimes makes the line-up despite not being a princess, yet Kida and Eilonwy are princesses and are no-where to be found). She examined their popularity and how they are now with all the merchandise they are on.
What's Christmas without Beauty and the Beast? Lindsay looks at the Disney story. One of the first Disney sequels, the Chick looks at how exceptionally poor this film is, the major problem being that it is neither a sequel nor a prequel; the events take place during the events of the first film, thereby robbing it of any tension it may have had. The Chick notes that despite Beauty and the Beast being one of her favourite films she was unable to watch it for a year after seeing The Enchanted Christmas, and ends the review with the lesson that if you really like a certain Disney film, it's probably a good idea to give the sequel a miss.
