Quotes from the 18th season of The Nostalgia Critic, which aired in 2025.

### The Tale of Despereaux

    Princess Pea: Oh, I wish it would rain. I wish there was soup again.
    Nostalgia Critic: 20 bucks say she laughed when she first tried saying that line.
    Narrator: And we'd tell you that they all lived happily ever after, but... what fun is that? [Despereaux falls and Critic edits in blood]
    Nostalgia Critic: Why can't most Broderick movies end that way? No, he flies away because Disney's lawyer somehow missed this film, and the movie ends.

### Beauty and the Beast

    Lumière: You fall in love with her, she falls in love with you, we'll be human again by midnight.
    Mrs. Potts: It's not that easy, Lumière. These things take time.
    Nostalgia Critic: [showing the rushed romances in other Disney movies] In most cases it takes 3 days, maybe a month.
    Nostalgia Critic: When Gaston sees she has feelings for the Beast, he immediately tries to destroy him cuz that should win her over.
    Gaston: The Beast will make off with your children! He'll come after them in the night! We're not safe til his head is mounted on my wall!
    Nostalgia Critic: Tell us more, expert who a moment ago said he wasn't real.
    Nostalgia Critic: Yeah okay, let's talk about the Beast's human design. First off it's weird he doesn't get a human name. People tell me it's Adam, but if they don't say it in the movie, if he's credited as the Beast, I don't count it. Second, the director said because like Belle, we all fell in love with the Beast, no human design for the prince would ever be good enough. I don't think that's true. Look at him compared to the other Disney Princes, he just doesn't look right. He looks like a Prince of Egypt character drawn by a Quest for Camelot animator. When I was a little kid, my grandma was watching this with me and went "Ew turn him back to the buffalo dog".

### The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring

    Nostalgia Critic: They have themselves a wizard's duel...
    Madam Mim: I win! I win!
    Nostalgia Critic: ...Which is pretty cool even if the scene is a little silly.
    [Saruman causes Gandalf to spin on his head as Critic adds in silly sounds]
    Nostalgia Critic: The next day they're on their way where they encounter the most epic toll stop ever constructed.
    Aragorn: [on the massive Argonath] Long have I desired to look upon the kings of old... my kin.
    [The next scene has a very slow frame rate]
    Nostalgia Critic: Let's follow it up with this really dated frame rate effect that looked terrible back then and looks even worse now.

### The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers

    Nostalgia Critic: [on Wormtongue] He's played by Brad Dourif wearing a Play-Doh mask from the Gary Oldman and Danny DeVito villains playset.
    Éomer: How long is it since Saruman bought you? What was the promised price Gríma?
    Nostalgia Critic: [as Wormtongue, who's gazing lecherously at Éowyn] One day I'll be a blonde.
    [Aragorn kicks a helmet and gives a genuine scream of grief, as Viggo Mortensen actually broke his toe]
    Nostalgia Critic: Fun fact, Mortensen-
    Hades: I know!
    Nostalgia Critic: Oh, everybody's talked about the toe story that became a meme. Um well, did you know why kids love the taste of Cinnamon Toast C-
    Hades: I know!
    Nostalgia Critic: Oh it's also a meme. Um well, have you seen Bee Movie- [atomic explosion]
