The Nostalgia Critic's Disneycember

Nothing gets me quite as excited as hearing the words, "Hello I'm the Nostalgia Critic. I remember it so you don't have to." The Nostalgia Critic is arguably the best YouTuber I've ever watched and indeed one of the best critics. His real name is Doug Walker and his black comedic and satirical reviews began in 2007. He reviews movies and TV from the 80's and 90's and man is he popular. I've always been a fan of his work but until recently I wasn't up to speed on all of his videos. I have since caught up quite a bit and can't get enough.
This month I am recommending Walker's series called Disneycember. The series started in December of 2011 and has been consistent series every December since. I guess I should put up a warning now that Walker's videos definitely contain more mature content and is not meant to be viewed by kids but by nostalgia adults. The content can be a bit racy. You have been warned. That being said, I freaking love how "adult" Walker's videos are. He doesn't hold back. He is just flat out honest and I love it. And it isn't just the "adult" language he uses to be honest but just his honesty in general. He states his opinions even if they are controversial or breaking away from the status quo and I respect that. He also makes very well rounded arguments and is open to people questioning his opinions to start conversation.
Walker's Nostalgia Critic reviews are hilarious. Disneycember strays away from the usual comedy though and just features Walker talking about the films and why he likes them or doesn't. And he doesn't BS when it comes to this stuff. You can tell her cares about these movies and has really thought hard about what he is going to say. His reviews are excellent, short and sweet. I definitely disagreed with him on certain aspects of the films but I loved his commentary. His genuine approach to Disney makes the viewer much more comfortable and open to what he is going to say.
Disneycember is a must watch. Check it out in the links below! I wonder if he will be doing another Disneycember series this year!?
