• 7:29Tim criticizes the cast of magical creatures as unkempt and diseased-looking, comparing them to heroin addicts under a bridge.
• 7:58Dwarfs should be tiny, somewhat chubby, hearty, hard-working people, not the ragged characters Disney cast.
• 8:29Little people actors of all races could have worked, but Disney's choice to cast someone with long hair in the middle makes no sense.
• 8:45Disney modernizing these movies by destroying them is why people don't care about supporting the entertainment industry.
