Cartoon All Stars to the Rescue - Phelous

[@Cure_Hana]

I think the reason why Pooh initially decided to stay behind was because he wanted to make sure Corrie was okay. Even though he’s a bear of very little brain, Pooh is meant to be a source of comfort and support for children like how he is for Christopher Robin, while also sharing his own simple wisdom in a way that kids can understand.

[@kylemorello4787]

And that's why out of all the characters in this special, he got the best role. An honorable mention is Bugs Bunny, since his job is to show Micheal he got into drugs through peer pressure. If you know Bugs, you know he's not one to let people push him around. His third most popular catchphrase is "of course you realize this means war." As in, "okay. I'd tried being patient, but this maroon's going down." It makes sense he'd tell someone to forge their own path instead of letting others take advantage of their naivety.

Yeah, say what you will about Jim Davis as a writer, but by all accounts he’s an incredibly chill dude when it comes to stuff like this. His reaction to finding out someone was using his IP to make “Garfield minus Garfield” was to praise their creativity and to offer to help them publish it.

Phelous, I realize this is a minor thing, but I'm just glad you noticed and parodied the bit with Dad's clear alcoholism getting overlooked. I always noticed that, but other reviewers that seem to cover this special tend to miss it entirely and like... it's the most hilarious part because the special so savagely sabotages it's own message!

[@rjb1216]

manat31790 not fair that was literally ncs first review ever

[@manat31790]

That's not to discredit Nostalgia Critic. I like Doug Walker a lot especially in his early days before he did the skits (In fact, I think Doug's Cartoon All Stars is one of the best of his reviews). I'm just saying that Phelan has always been better at adding information that Doug tends to skim over. See his Food Fight review with Alison and Brad, for example. And the crazy bit is just a comedy preference. I've come to like Phelan's deadpan/airhead things better than whatever NC is doing nowadays. It's just personal thing, so please don't mind me.

[@jfsredhead]

u still like nc despite all that went on i still watch too just how now and then hear how others feel

[@manat31790]

Jeremy St. Clair The Channel Awesome controversy is just about some people making horrible mistakes that killed their own company. I don't really care about it. Nostalgia Critic as a standalone show is still good. I especially enjoy him talking about 90s cartoon animals, but I feel like Phelous, Bennett the Sage, Lindsey, and Linkara all have surpassed him. Bennett once said there's a limit to just trashing a bad movie, and it shows with NC. The guy is running out of things to review. He is not as entertaining when he praises things. He is also nowhere as innovative or critical as other reviewers.

[@rjb1216]

yeah that's also why Phelous's reviews tend to be longer than the movies he's reviewing. But that's cool

[@brentparker7359]

As a child, I preferred "The Flintstone Kids: Just Say No!" because it was actually about Wilma being tempted to use drugs, rather than the most random, indistinctive everykid character of all time. Seriously, Michael's only personality trait was "he's on drugs," and even that was just to fit in with the "cool kids."

I saw this special as a kid. I think I was too young to understand anything beyond, "Drugs" are bad. I recall a bunch of "Just Say No To Drugs" commercials. They mostly just left me confused about what "drugs" were. They'd say "drugs" are bad, but they never explain what "drugs" are. If someone had walked up to me and offered me marijuana I would never had know it was a drug because these things would never list the names of any drugs.

To be fair, it was one of the Critic's very first episodes, I wouldn't expect A+ material in the first run.

I think that ending with all your cartoon characters showing up is right up there with your parody recreation of "Birdemic", your intro to the first Resident Evil movie, the introduction to Old Man, etc. as your funniest and most creative moments.

[@lfairchild002]

IT'S FINALLY HERE!!!!!!!! Congrats on 10 years!

[@catp6946]

I think having all of those characters at the end endorsing an anti-drug message would actually work because you would just flat-out stop using drugs to make them leave. Also Happy 10 Year Anniversary! I can't wait for more reviews!

I recently went through and watched all your cartoon reviews that had subtitles on. Not only are they really helpful (not many people think to put them on, and auto are useless) but they're hilarious. Thank you for ten years of Phawesome!

[@Nionivek]

These are the reasons why Mickey has struggled to maintain relevance. You can hold back your A-Material, but if you never play your Ace it might as well be a dead card.

[@Nionivek]

The funny thing is you aren't alone. I've heard of countries where Donald is huge or where Goofy was huge... Yet I haven't heard of a single country that preferred Mickey Mouse. Heck Donald Duck is currently in two TV shows still being made (Main character in one, side character in another)

[@Nionivek]

I liked Mickey in House of Mouse... Albeit that was the last show he was in I really liked.

[@kayleighbrown459]

Well, he doesn't have much of a character. He's a reactionary to the stuff going on around.

[@Shenaldrac]

You know what the problem with the entire DARE program and war on drugs kids initiative was? They kept refusing to *actually talk about what drugs are like.* They always would use metaphors like the infamous "this is your brain on drugs" thing, or cartoons like this where addiction is represented as a sentient cloud of weed smoke. And the fact that it actually takes time to get really addicted, and to get to the point where illegal substances can really negatively impact your life, yet they never really go into that and make it seem like if you smoke one blunt you're fucked forever, harms the message too. Because what happens is the material aimed at stopping kids says one thing, but the cool kids behind the bleachers who actually do drugs tell you that no, you don't immediately become an addicted burnout. And you can see that they appear to be fine. So kids have perfect evidence that all this stuff is BS, and that along with your usual child/teenager desire to rebel coupled with the most basic bit of human psychology being that the best way to get someone to do something is to tell them not to, and it all combines to make it appear that doing drugs is absolutely a thing that's fine. If the people behind the war on drugs in the 90s actually wanted to lessen the number of kids using drugs, they'd actually have a genuine, honest talk with children and teenagers explaining about how drugs are harmful, about how they effect you, they wouldn't downplay the good parts (hey, there's a reason people take cocaine and meth) but they also would explain why in the long run it's harmful. Treat kids like inexperienced adults worthy of respect instead of just dumb kids who you have to talk down to, and the whole thing would have been way more successful.

I remember seeing this on TV back in the day! Wow, it still kind of blows my mind to see and hear all the cartoon characters hanging out together other than in Who Framed Roger Rabbit! I don’t think anyone has done anything like this since the 90s. It was such a different time... Phelous, you are awesome, and your reviews are not only informative but fun and hilarious too! Thank you for all your hard work!

That ending skit was the perfect cap to the past 10 years! Happy anniversary, Phelous!

[@karenelizabeth1590]

At a time when Ducktales was huge, I wouldn't say that Huey, Dewey, and Louie were the poor relation to Mickey, Goofy, and Donald. The Ducktales boys were actually more popular then. As a kid I only knew of some old cartoons starring the older three. They didn't have a current show on TV around 1990 and their cartoons weren't being rerun like Looney Tunes were, so I didn't care about them. Then I warmed up to Goofy when "Goof Troop" came out.

[@Rebochan]

Exactly, it's pretty obvious Disney wanted to include their franchises that were actively on television at the time - and there was still a New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh animated series running at the time that was extremely popular with young children, so of course he made it in.

[@karenelizabeth1590]

Rebochan And now that I think of it, it was probably easier to animate characters with model sheets readily available rather than needing to design new ones. Not that I'm an animation expert, but everyone appears to be mostly on-model in this cartoon, which would be easier if they had something to go on

[@Tareltonlives]

Good point-people only knew about Donald as the uncle to the trio (and I recall he wasn't in most of the episodes). I only knew him because I watched the old cartoons alongside Ducktales.

[@thomasjenkins7506]

really, the ones that are outdated here are the warner bros. characters, as merry melodies had already ended long ago and only existed in syndication.

Happy 10th anniversary! This review had me laughing way too hard, especially that amazing ending!

[@ser6Ijvolk]

10 years later and you're not only still entertaining, but are actually improving. That's quite outstanding. You and Allison are probably the only two people TGWTG introduced me to that I can say this about (I knew of Brad previously, so I'm not counting him). You have a skill of being entertaining regardless of the type of content you're reviewing (although goofy 70's to early 90's horror will always be my favorite). It baffles me that you have less subscribers than the people who were funny once upon a time and haven't made anyone laugh since 2012. Hope you will continue to entertain us with new content in the future. Too bad those Russian unlicensed TMNT crossover books you've had behind you in a few episodes would probably be too much to translate and/or review. I remember those being quite weird and wholly inappropriate for children due to the R-rated movies they crossovered with.

[@thebeggs4]

Congratulations on ten years Phelous, and thank you for all the laughs along the way! A fantastic milestone episode, that ending was simply brilliant. But I guess that was expected!

To be honest, Cartoon All Stars to the Rescue is my absolute favorite cartoon crossover of all time. I always enjoy seeing each of them, because I've known these guys for years and they helped me understand why drugs can ruin your life. I know some of them done drugs before, but I think they might have stopped doing them because of this. I know you're all entited into different opinions and I'm an expert on other people's opinions, but I honestly think the All Stars are my favorite crossover characters and one of my heroes. I have a friend who died from drug overdose and I really wish I could help him and I wish I could be honest to everyone about my opinions about drugs without being disrespectful to their beliefs.
