    Dammit. I didn't have a spare half-hour to watch that whole video! But I couldn't stop.

    Actually, it was extremely informative. And mostly well presented, even if the narrator does fancy himself as a bit of an "ACTOR". :P

    I didn't realise 'Snow White' was such a big hit in its day. I'd always assumed it just acquired classic status through repeated showings to generations of children.

      You'd be surprised just how little of that is affected just for the video! He's a wonderfully eccentric guy, one of my favourite people.

      I was super surprised to see this channel only had 36 subscribers, given the quality of the video. Now it makes sense though, since it's so new. Tell your friend they did a great job, and earned...

    Great video, thanks for sharing. Reminds me of the deep dives Defunctland has done into Disney history and that's one of my favourite channels on YouTube.

    Is it a mix of general content your friend is focusing on, anything that takes his fancy for instance or will he be focusing on a specific subject like Disney, animation, American culture etc?
