Forty+ minute deep dives, some about Disney films. Also a great film theory series using the Michael Bay Transformers series. Every video (even the Bright one) is worth watching.
Every Frame a Painting
My absolute favorite YouTube channel, and years later I'm still sad they ended. There are 3 fantastic animation vids, but everything is a must-watch. They defined video essays on YouTube.

Great if you're a theme park history nerd like me, particularly Disney ones. Yesterworld and Fastpass Facts are two other Disney-centric theme park channels I recommend.

Royal Ocean Film Society
Varying topics but always enjoyable. Great animation-related essays and fun super-cuts. They have a particularly fun multi-video series about UPA that's worth a watch too!
