"Why Top 11? Because I like to go one step beyond."
Perhaps my favorite Nostalgia Critic "thing" is when he does either Top 11 lists or Old vs. News. Why? Because that's the time when he gives us interesting opinions of his own, and gets particularly analytical - and he has quirky and eclectic enough tastes
that A) we're always treated to something new, and B) they're well-thought-out enough that we can generally agree with his reasoning.
That being said, this is one where he's actually retracted a few things because they're clearly not right. For example, the #1 scariest nostalgic moment being a banshee from some obscure Disney movie - which isn't in itself a mistake, but then he shows the scene itself and it's kind of underwhelming, especially compared to some of the other things he showed in the list. Also not having the Willy Wonka train ride at #1. That's just...incorrect.
But this is a good start to the traditions of Top 11 lists, and it's agreeable enough. Pretty run-of-the-mill compared to some of the later stuff (Dumbasses in Distress, Awkward Christopher Walken Moments, and Disney Villains stand out just off the top of my head), but it's all right. Nothing to write home about.
I also still have yet to see the Pee-Wee movie all the way through, but I have to admit, that scene looks pretty damn startling.
