    Gremlins

    Check out a new nostalgic animated holiday special Christmas With Grubbs - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=chCV9cuLpVY It's Christmas AND it's been 40 years since Gremlins came out. Let's see what Nostalgia Critic thinks of this "kinda" Christmas classic. Gremlins is a 1984 American comedy horror film directed by Joe Dante, written by Chris Columbus and starring Zach Galligan, Phoebe Cates, Hoyt Axton, Polly Holliday and Frances Lee McCain, with Howie Mandel providing the voice of Gizmo, the main mogwai character. It draws on legends of folkloric mischievous creatures that cause malfunctions—"gremlins"—in the British Royal Air Force going back to World War II. The story follows young man Billy Peltzer, who receives a strange creature as a pet, which then spawns other creatures that transform into aggressive, imp-like monsters that wreak havoc on Billy's hometown during Christmas Eve.

Big surprise the Nostalgia Critic didn't grow up watching this one, but after years of people asking around Christmas, he's finally giving his thoughts on Barbie's first DVD adventure, Barbie in the Nutcracker. Barbie in the Nutcracker is a 2001 animated fantasy film co-produced by Mainframe Entertainment and Mattel Entertainment, and distributed by Artisan Home Entertainment. Loosely adapted from E. T. A. Hoffmann's 1816 short story, "The Nutcracker and the Mouse King", and featuring music based from Tchaikovsky's 1892 ballet, The Nutcracker, it marked the character's first film since the 1987 television specials; Barbie and the Rockers: Out of This World and Barbie and the Sensations: Rockin' Back to Earth, with Kelly Sheridan providing the voice of Barbie. It was also the first Barbie movie to be computer-animated. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
