Jenny Nicholson + More
Jenny Nicholson is the god of youtube essays so you probably already know her
Also Defunctland does a lot about adandoned theme parks/the muppets and jim henson projects and disney (not a fan a disney but even his videos in disney are great)
strange æons has done some great videos on onision that were good and i used to watch them a lot but can’t remember anything other than the onision book review videos so that’s all i can recommend from them
but Jenny Nicholson is the greatest - I’m not even interested in most of the topics she covers but she’s so interesting? entertaining and compelling
Also Jenny Nicholson always commits to the video by completely involving herself in the topic not just for the video but in her real life and learning like every bit of lore for what she’s covering

i linked ‘Evemore: The Theme Park That Wasn’t’ which is a great started video and her second most popular but I also think ‘A Needlessly thorough roast of Dear Evan Hansen (2021)’ is also great as someone who has never watched anything related to Dear Evan Hansen. also ‘The Last Bronycon: a fandom autopsy’ is incredible. Honestly all of her videos are incredible just started from most viewed and work your way down to least viewed

ANYTHING BY JENNY NICHOLSON
She sometimes bleeds more into commentary than straight-up video essays, but she makes compelling, funny and well-researched content, nevertheless. She's very earnest, which I especially love!!!
My personal favorites are the infamous (4hr long) Star Wars Hotel video, the Easter Musicals video, and the Dear Evan Hansen Movie video.
Defunctland's hunt for the composer of Disney Channel theme song also slaps!

Jenny nicholson
Not exactly a deep cut, but if you like Disneyworld and long videos she has what you need.
Defunctland is good quality Disney content too.
