Awesome / Infamous Animation

• In the review for ''Doogal," he also puts some time aside to levy criticisms towards the original British dub, completely negating any claims of bias.
• Tentacolino's review shows some pretty cool cases of Shown Their Work (in contrast to the film proper) but they're all dwarfed by his response to the reveal that The Titanic is suspected to be a myth in-universe.
  Burn in hell, Tentacolino. And may God smile proudly as he damns you there.
• While Erik is not a fan of musicals, it's clear he is insulted by the Unfortunate Implications in The King and I, specifically how the bumbling sidekick Master Little is portrayed. Seeing him call the movie out for its racism is excellent to see.
• In Titanic: The Legend Goes On, there's Erik's reaction to the Pongo-ripoff's misogynist comment when his partner tries to help him move a cupboard.
• Calling out the author of Katy La Oruga for turning what is already an Anvilicious movie, into an anti-war message, claiming man only uses cargo ships to haul weapons and not food, medicine, or technology.
  • He also calls out the hypocrisy of some of the film's messages, like decrying construction because its noisy, criticizing the use of animals as beasts of burden despite never bringing up if those animals are actually treated well, and criticizes city life despite the film being made by one of the biggest media producers in Mexico with writers brought in from Disney.
  • And let's not forget his sincerely passionate cry for quality and effort in children's animation at the end of the video, set to the amazing Mass Effect theme for bonus points:
  "Some of you may be wondering why I would even bother soapboxing for so long about this dumb little cheap animated movie, and really, that’s the most common complaint that people like me get. “Why are you wasting your time critiquing something that’s meant for children? It’s for kids, not for you! Why are you getting so worked up over it? Don’t you have something better to do with your life?”
  Understand this and understand this well – just because something is for children does not give it the right, the privilege, nor the excuse to have NO EFFORT PUT INTO IT!!!
  A child audience should not be used to justify laziness and apathy in the production line!
  That’s what causes idiotic spin-offs and copy-cats with the same tired humor-by-committee every episode.
  That’s what causes half-hour toy commercials, especially those made for syndication with 5 new episodes every week, causing nothing but animation glitches, inconsistent writing, and hasty audio editing.
  Is it not a great feeling to revisit something from your childhood and discover that it has more qualities that you never noticed when you were younger?
  To find out that it not only could entertain the more basic tastes of a child, but also the more complex tastes of an adult?
  To realized that the people behind the scenes actually gave a damn about what they were making?
  Yes, a lot of what I cover on this show is meant for young audiences, and that’s an unfortunate result of the general opinion that animation is something meant for kids, but that’s a topic for a different episode. But I care because I love animation as an art form.
  I care because I love good storytelling.
  I care because I remember the movies and shows and people that didn’t look down on me simply because I was a child.
  I care about children’s animation because I remember the children’s animation that cared about me.
  This movie didn’t care about its audience … and that’s why nobody cares about this movie anymore."
• Erik calls out Freddie for his lack of resentment towards Messina. He says that while it good that Freddie doesn't spend his screen time brooding and whining about being turned into a frog. Messina is an unrepentant villain who killed both his parents, ruined his kingdom and is now helping a madman take over the world. Freddie IS allowed to be a bit angrier and pissed off towards her.
