Hellooo, I'm the Nostalgia Critic. I remember it so you don't have to.

And welcome to another edition of Old vs. New.

It's the fairy tale that teaches kids all around the world

that it doesn't matter what you look  like or where you come from,

as long as you work hard and have a kind heart,

Cinderella is a tale that's been told countless times,

but the most definitive version belonged to  Disney Animations in 1950.

So it only figured when you have a money maker so iconic that it's cemented in everybody's memory,

To much surprise though, not only were there big names and astounding visuals,

but it also got quite the critical backing, too, with people praising it for being such a stylized update!

Which one feels the most engaging, clever and all around magical?

Now, of course, being of the NOSTALGIC persuasion, I have a little bit of a leaning towards the old.

*Whimsically* If only I could wish for someone who had an opposite opinion of me...

*With slightly more force*  If only I could wish for someone who had an opposite opinion of me...

If only I could-- WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU?!

Hyper Fangirl: Sorry! This thing's really hard to walk in.

Critic: Christ, even when I WANT you in a video you can't get it right!

Hyper: Hey! Give me a chance, I have  whimsical support on this one.

Critic: Oh, great, what whimsical support can YOU offer?

Devil: Hey, I can get in touch  with my feminine side!

Devil: No? O-okay, no explosions. No  explosions. But, um...ponies?

Critic: (sighs) How are you two still a thing?

Devil: What can I say? I love a woman that writes fanfiction about me.

Hyper: Oh, and we both held you hostage that one time. So we have that in common

Devil: You did it better. Hyper: You did!

Devil: No, you did       Hyper: You did! (repeats)

Critic:*clears throat* Hyper, isn't Benny gonna feel weird that you have another outlet for mindless violence?

Hyper: Oh, come on! He's a professional assassin. This kind of thing doesn't bother people like him

Benny: It's nothing, Benny. Nothing. Just add her to the list.

Critic: Okay, are you gonna debate me on these  Cinderella movies or not?

Hyper: There is no debating. The new one is better,

if for no other reason that the lead actress had to lose two ribs to fit into that dress.

Critic: You just like it 'cause there's more flashy sparkles

to play to your inner five-year-old.  You're a flaky-flaley-flashy-holic!

Hyper: Honey! Honey! I'm gonna do the crossover. Why don't you go start a war with a random country?

Devil: Ooh! I get to use my random war generator!

Critic: So, Hyper, are you ready to be  proven wrong once again?

Critic: Let's do Cinderella: Old vs. New.

Critic: Sometimes a prince leaves no impact on you, whatsoever.

Critic: I was talking about the royal position!

Critic: *sigh* He's the arm-candy of our main character's dreams

Critic: While a lot of people give flack to some Disney princesses for not having enough character,

people forget the princes often weren't even given TIME to have character.

Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, and- yes- Cinderella, all have princes with only a handful of lines.

Hyper: And where the one from Sleeping Beauty fought a dragon

and the one from Snow White saves her from death,

Critic: Ok, Look, this was a different time. A time when...

Critic: I don't think you're taking into account how sexy that yawn was.

Hyper: Heck, his father gets more screen time than this. So does his servant for that matter.

Critic: Yes, yes but... through them we're  discovering the prince's character

and they're also relaying the chemistry between our two romantic leads an-

Hyper: You got nothing. Critic: I got nothing

Hyper: Now, with the remake, not only is the prince given a lot more onscreen time

but there's also more time to develop their chemistry

Cinderella and him meet before the ball and they have time to talk like normal people

and build and appreciation of each other.

Even during the ball, they talk and share experiences that help them build a stronger connection.

She doesn't just see him and declare, "This is love!" like in the original

Critic: *sarcasm* I wouldn't know anybody who did that.

Hyper: I've moved on Critic, I found a more sensible love.

Devil: Hey babe, it turns out it's easy to start a war in this place.

You just tell'em Cool Runnings is a 100% true story!

Critic: Okay, so maaybe this prince has more charm, more personality, more screen time

more chemistry and preeetty much more of a connection with everyone he comes in contact with

but there is one thing that prince does NOT have.

Disney has always created the greatest villains.

And what's scarier than a middle-aged woman who's obsessed with housework?!

Critic: This one is rough because it really is like  comparing apples to oranges.
