I assume the Critic didn't use the f-bomb all year to pay respects to his mom, who didn't like him using the word. That was very sweet, Doug.

I was today years old when I realized Critic didn't say the f word all year

I’m not saying a darker version of the nutcracker is a bad idea, I’m just saying that there is a right way to do it and this movie did it the worst way possible.

You know, Nazis and holocaust references. Perfect child friendly material.

The Irony is that since its 1920 she will grow up to witness Nazis in real life as they do annex Austria in 1938

"and then they all lived happily ever after I guess?" except they totally didn't, because they're still a family with Jewish ancestry living in 1920s Vienna.

Movie should have been called "The Dollocaust"

Rest in Peace Mrs. Walker. Thanks for raising the Nostalgia Critic to be the guy that we all know and love.

That ending with Doug...”Let’s watch it again...” and then the “For Mom” just...whoa...

Him revealing he didn't say the F-word at all in 2018 was a surprise to me as I never noticed he didn't saying it. Anyone else agree?

Man, the new wolfenstien looks terrible

Imagine if Hitler sang doing some of the worst events in history

to be fair Rachel's version of Home Alone is still a million times better than Home Alone 4 and 5

The last part made me cry. R.I.P. Mama Walker. 😢😭

God the ending hurts. And ending with “For Mom” just didn’t make it easier. This was one of the best reviews I ever seen. There’s just nothing Doug can’t review, no matter how bad people claim it to be. Truely life will reward you on what you are passionate about. I’m sure where ever Mrs. Walker is now, she’s looking down at Doug and she is proud. Merry Christmas.

“This movie was so bad it makes rhapsody street kids look like toy story” My favorite quote in the whole video

"Let's watch it again." MY HEART! Rest In Peace, Mama Walker.

Well of course we don't watch you for the f-word, it's actually not shocking at all in Germany. We watch you because of your walls. They are amazing. I like how the colour and texture changes over time.

3:34 Doug: But don’t you feel… Dirty, filming this? Rachel: I’ll tell you what Critic, I’ll have you watch the movie that inspired me for all of this “The Nutcracker in 3D” Malcom: What does it have Nazi’s in it? Rachel: Yes! Doug and Malcom: 0_0

I feel like a lot of the movie’s problems could have been fixed if they had set it AFTER the war instead of before. That way the children would have a reason to be thinking about Nazis and to use their imaginations to dramatize their defeat.

Honestly, the Barbie version was more faithful than this. Not only that, but Tim Curry played the Rat King in it too!

Rat king- Opens Mouth *SCREAMING INTENSIFIES*

Me: The Nutcracker a sweet story about a nutcracker coming alive. Movie: The Nutcracker a sweet story with people being rounded up and watching their loved ones burn aka Nazis.

27:48 "What??! Abandon my kingdom because of some spoiled brat?!" I'm seriously disappointed that NC did not use the clip of Governor Tarkin stating, "Evacuate? In our moment of triumph? I think you overestimate their chances!"

You can see Papa Walker doing his best not to cry at the end. So powerful. So beautiful. I loved it.

That ending made me tear up. R.I.P. Mama Critic, screw those dislikes.

Let's face it: The Theory of Relativity song was the only reason they wrote Albert Einstein into the movie

when i first saw this i was like "oh hey a movie about the nutcracker, this should be interesting... why is albert einstein in here and why is he singing about the theory of relativity?"

1. He really didn't say the F word in his reviews this whole season? Wow! Looks like Santa Christ won't be putting soap in his stocking this Christmas! 2. I can't believe you survived watching the single worst Nutcracker movie EVER! 3. That ending for your late mother was really sweet. :'(

That ending...that ending got me! “For Mom” RIP Sandy Walker. You are still missed even today! 😭

Fun Fact: At 11:11, the part of the Home Alone main theme they chose is known as “Somewhere in my Memory” and it actually has lyrics, but the ones in the joke are vastly different than the ones in the actual movie.

Friendly reminder that Barbie had a nutcracker movie where Tim Curry played the rat king. Just an option for a pallet cleanser.

When you realize that Doug really hasn't dropped the f bomb for a year

The nutcracker looks like one of those figures that sing the Duloc song.

"Care Bears was more faithful than this" He speaks the language of the gods

There are many strange adaptations of The Nutcracker. (The best adaptation was the live ballet at the Riverside Community College performing theater in 2015) Disney tried to be experimental with The Four Realms which had little to do with the story at all, there's a Care Bears adaptation, and The Nuttiest Nutcracker is one of the weirder ones.

The nutcracker looks like those dolls singing welcome to duloc from shrek

Wait a minute, a new location means a new wall. God help you if that new wall's color is slightly off from the old wall!

What did California do to her? Better question - What didn’t California do to her?

Why did that Twitter joke age like a fine wine in the worst possible way?

No lie, I flipped when I saw Rachel. Fucking missed her

He killed the shark because he was afraid that the movie might jump it.

That ending was actually touching. When people still say the walker brothers are asshats, just point to this scene. There's defenitely some heart in there.

Man, you have the most supportive family I've ever seen. Going so far as to star and help you make these reviews can not only be fun for everyone, but bring a family closer together.

Didn't realize how much I missed Rachel until I heard that maniacal scream.

Barbie and The Nutcracker is the only version I will accept.

As godawful as this film is, for some reason the "Welcome to a Stygian Era" song seems really catchy to me. I have no idea why.

In Russia it was shown from the age of 6. You know these harsh Russian children. (I'm Russian)

For Mom That’s all you need to make everyone cry... thank you Doug

How meta is it that Black Nerd told Tamara not to watch a movie she was in?

A stunningly brilliant review. I love when they cut back to Rachel's project.

In Russia, schoolchildren were forcibly led to watch this film, it is not surprising that many chose to skip lessons just not to see this masterpiece.

Rachel: He just doesn't get it! It's always more important to be loud than to be right. Rob: You're on Twitter, aren't you? Most hilarious line of 2018.

14:52 As a member of one of those test audiences, I can confirm that we did not ask for any of this.

I like how they changed the music in the credits. i mean imagine if they didn't. like after that emotional calm scene of everyone sitting together and after the tribute for doug's mom it just cuts to the normal rock music that plays in the end credits of every nostalgia critic video. that was very smart of them.

I didn't even know your mom died doug, i am SO sorry for loss. And i (and many others) feel your pain. May she FOREVER rest in peace.

Best line: Greg Sistero; “This was the worst thing I’d ever seen... and I was in ‘The Room’”

good lord it really does have a 0% rating from critics on rotten tomato, I thought it was photoshopped

Yo coming back to this after watching the Guillermo del Toro Pinocchio is soooo funny (PS, not to say Pinocchio was bad, but the fact that it so effortlessly succeeded at what Nutcracker 3D couldn't, is wild)

Watching this again now is very surreal because my mom passed away suddenly about a month ago. We didn't always see eye to eye and would argue a lot... but seeing the message from Mama Critic broke me. It made me analyse the relationship I had with mom and while we disagreed I can safely say she loved me immensely. I miss her daily but I'll forever cherish the time I did get with her. Thank you Channel Awesome for helping me find a little bit of peace just now.

"Oh God!!! We left Kevin home alone!!! And he's only 23!?!"

If I remember correctly, the director of Nutcracker 3D grew up in Russia during the real WWII and its aftermath, and one of his few consistently happy childhood memories was The Nutcracker. That still doesn't explain why he thought this would be a good way to discuss Nazism OR The Nutcracker. In fact, it kind of just leaves me with more questions than before.

Fun fact: Richard E. Grant is in both The Nutcracker 3D AND Disney's The Nutcracker and the Four Realms.

I actually remember seeing so many advertisements for this movie, like when I went to see The polar express in 3D with posters at the theatre, it even appeared as a trailer before the movie. Also is it me or does this Nutcracker character look like the Shrek version of Pinnochio, but with none of the satirical charm?

"I ate your hamster when you weren't looking. He tasted like love." If I am capable of feeling romantic feelings for another human being, I want my hypothetical lover to serenade me with those words every other Thursday.

"For Mom" That hit me like a truck.

Critic: our goal is to be as forgettable as nutcracker and the 4 relms. Me: that film was grea... Critic: admit it, you forgot that was even a thing Me: I...

I lost my dad this year and its been a really hard christmas so far im trying to be happy for everyone but idk this special made me cry and laugh and helped me feel a little better thank you

Who else here was ecstatic when they saw Rachel returned. Also fun fact the voice for N.C is Moaning Myrtle from Harry Potter😄👌

This movie got a 0% percent score on Rotten Tomatoes?! THAT IS LESS THAN THE EMOJI MOVIE!

And somehow Rachel's R rated version of "Home Alone" has more dignity then the upcoming Disney+ remake.

12:20 how could that happen if that's my favorite movie of all time. Also, The Nutcracker in 3D isn't forgettable, it's the most terrifying movie ever that sticks with you long after the credits roll.

Prayers to Doug, Rob, and the rest of their family. May you find joy during this time.

I didn't even know his mother passed. I'm sorry, man :'(

22:32 The most "WTF" scene in the movie

There are times when the ‘artist’s vision’ was proved to be nothing but fever dreams This was one of those times

If this does take place in the 20s it gets darker cause this means the girl had a prophetic dream of Nazis and genocide. A FAMILY PICTURE!

BREAKING NEWS: Tchaikovsky himself has risen from his grave, and is in pursuit of Mr Konchalovsky all across Hollywood Blvd.

Rachel: "It's more important to be loud, than to be right." Rob: "You're on Twitter, aren't you?" Loved that 😂😂😂😂

I hope Doug sees this because I think he should watch the barbie movies, they stay completely true to their original stories they are based off of, especially the Nutcracker one and The Christmas Carol one.

"What did California do to her?" Already got the like

That’s “lets watch it again” is what finally broke me. My grandmother is dying of lung cancer she’s fighting but it’s hard. This is just...I don’t have words. Thank you Doug.

The end was so sad it hurt, and I'm not even a member of Doug's family. Was so awesome to see Rachel again.

We watch nostalgia critic for his insight and commitment to delivering quality content, not because he drops the F bomb!

This is going to get lost in the comments but whatever. The Christmas special they watched at the end I saw the first year I was stationed overseas. It was the first year I was alone during the holidays. I took Mrs. Walker's advice. I spent Christmas with other people who were alone. We spent the next Christmas together too. They moved away after that, but we still keep in touch. Because of her advice I made friends that have lasted for about 6 years now, and I've never been alone for a Christmas. Never even thought of that until this video. So, from someone you have never met before. Thank you.Edit: Well, y'all showed me. Didn't get lost at all. Thanks for the likes.

You will believe nostalgia critic can make you cry

That ending just ripped my heart into pieces that was so sad and heartwarming. I swear I'm not crying someone is just chopping onions.😭

Cats is a comfort film when compared to the 2010 version of the Nutcracker.

RIP, Mrs. Walker. You know, Doug said that his mom disapproved of his language in his show (I only just remembered at the end of this episode). I like that he may have went all year without using the F-word just for her. I cried at the footage of the Walker family. This was beautiful. God bless, Doug, Rob, and Barney. Have a wonderful Christmas.

As Russian myself, i must provide some context and explain, why there is so many russian comments under this video. There is one famous family in Russia - Mihalkovs. Most known are Sergey Mihalkov (he is dead now), his son Nikita Mihalkov and his brother Andrey Konchalovsky (He just taked his father's wife surname, and he is autor of this horrible version of Nutcracker). They are was beloved talanted directors and writers in the Soviet times, wich films and other creations was very popular in the Soviet Union (For example, Sergey Mihalkov was autor of the USSR/Russian hymn). But when Soviet Union collapsed, they are showed their true nature as hypocrite sycophants and sneaky trimmers. Their films and books was produced in USSR with huge help and offitial support from communist goverment, but those guys started to screaming about "horrors of Stalin's regime" and licking Eltsyn and Putin asses. It would be not so terrible at all (besides, such hypocrite behaviour is common among russian "creative class", and their example is not unique), but they are started to produce really shitty films, screaming about their "unique vision", when it was just over pretentious antilogical stupid crap with cheap and horrible CGI, poorly imitaiting Hollywood films. And each time, when their films crap meet finance fail and negative rewievs in the Internet (expetially well-known KZfaq reviews from blogger BadComedian, incuding NutCracker), this brothers usually screaming in their intervievs, that they are genius, and all russian people are just stupid redneks, who can't understand their unique vision. That's why they are so despicable among russians.

18:46 what are you screaming about? He just ripped a toy guys head off. 10 seconds later: oh, well that makes sense.

That isn't a nutcracker. That is clearly a figurine that escaped from the Duloc Information Booth.

Unfortunately I was the kid who watched this at 8 I still have nightmares

This the SECOND time a Nostalgia Critic video made me choke up at the end this December. Right in the gutter. God bless your mom’s heavenly heart Doug. May she rest in peace 🙏❤️

13:25 Как говорится, у гениев мысли сходятся))) Hello from Russia, guys! We also have the similar review of this film by BadComedian.

I find it funny that the used Home Alone as the joke in this video, because at the end of the first movie Harry and Marv DID legitimately try to murder Kevin.

Y'know.... it's funny. As soon as Rachel mentioned the F bomb I was like "But I haven't really heard him say it in a while..." Then I started to think more about that. That's how you prove a point. Declare it after it's been proven, not beforehand as if it's some grand thing. There are people that would try to bring you down for it. I'm hyped for the new office though, seeing as it tends to play into skits and such and can't help but wonder if this was a one time thing or if Rachel is back. As far as the touching ending goes, the emotion put into the simple line of "Let's watch it again" says far more than I could ever say. I resonate with that moment every Christmas. I don't "know" what you're going through, but I can understand it, my friend. My grandmother was the rock of our family. I have some pretty crappy childhood memories, but none of them are from when I was at her house. I even look back on the moments I got in trouble fondly, and one moment when I was being a total brat, with everlasting shame. It was the one time in my life I behaved like that. Whenever my family got together, it was because of her. She drew people in. Our very large (including my mom, she had 9 kids) family especially came together during Christmas. She owned several properties around her own home she would occasionally rent out, but they were there for when everyone came home. We lost her when I was in high school, some 18 years ago, throat cancer. Her absence is really felt during Christmas, even more so with her birthday just passing on the 16th. Sometimes I catch my mom caught up in a moment where I know she's reliving a memory, or wishing she was here and the only thing I can do then is mention something from the past and let her tell stories while I sit and listen. ...Thank you. True to the message of the video, you never know what inspires someone and how. But you've made me consider something I haven't before.

The end hit me hard. i was watching the review with his parents a few days ago and thought "yeah that was charming" and then i read the comments, where people said their sorry for dougs lost and so on, and i felt very sad after it, without knowing her... and now this ending was totally unexpected and left me in tears. the whole family is there, doug, rob, their father and the many friends they made over the years... and they are talking about the "special" and so on, and then its the speach of his mother combined with dougs very, very heartwhelming "lets watch it again" - i think this was the very first time in all nostalgia critic, where i felt there was the real doug. not overacting, not saying something scripted, just 100% what he felt. it really left me in tears. i hope you feel well, walker family. merry christmas to you.

2 years later and this video still makes me tear up at the end, your and robs mom truly knew what the spirit and or meaning of Christmas was, Happy holidays NC and crew, RIP Mama Walker
