Throughout the month of December, Doug Walker reviews Disney movies as himself.

Throughout December 2011, he reviewed the hand-drawn animated films that are part of the Disney canon, along with Tangled for technicality and Enchanted for satire. He also reviewed Dinosaur, A Goofy Movie and Who Framed Roger Rabbit by popular demand.

In 2012, Walker reviewed the CG animated Disney movies, starting with all the Pixar films up to Brave and then finishing off with the Disney animated canon's CGI films, excluding Wreck-It Ralph (which he would eventually review in 2014). Robert Zemeckis' A Christmas Carol was done by popular demand.

In 2013, he reviewed the most memorable live-action films, along with Old Yeller, Newsies and High School Musical 3 by popular demand.

In 2014, Walker reviewed the Studio Ghibli films as well as both live-action and animated films he overlooked the first time around, as the Ghibli list wasn't enough to cover the month. Into the Woods, Pom Poko and The Tale of Princess Kaguya were done by popular demand.

In 2015, Walker started reviewing the acquired properties of Marvel and Lucasfilm, covering Phases 1 and 2 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe and also the original Star Wars saga in preparation for The Force Awakens. In addition, he reviewed more overlooked live-action and animated Disney films, including ones released throughout 2015 in order to fill up the entire month. Mars Needs Moms, Muppet Treasure Island and John Carter were done by popular demand.

In 2016, the primary focus was on the direct-to-video/DVD Disney movies, mostly the animated sequels.

In 2017, the primary focus was on the Disney Channel Original Movies, specifically the most popular well-known films.

Doug Walker had announced on Facebook that Disneycember 2018 would be an all-around "By Popular Demand" month, in which he reviewed many of the overlooked Disney films from six previous categories. The same theme is repeated for the following years, with TV shows and shorts added in 2019, 20th Century Fox films added in 2020, video games added in 2021, and both Blue Sky films and spoiler reviews in 2022.

2011: The 2D animated films[]

These continued into January 2012 due to Doug's computer troubles necessitating a delay.

2014: The Studio Ghibli/Overlooked films[]

This Disneycember focused on films made by Studio Ghibli that were distributed by Disney and also focused on any overlooked films, both animated and live-action.

By Popular Demand (February 2015)[]

2015: Marvel Cinematic Universe/Star Wars/Overlooked films[]

This Disneycember focused on films from Phases 1 and 2 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the original and prequel trilogies of the Star Wars saga, as well as some more overlooked films. The reviews for Star Wars: The Force Awakens and The Good Dinosaur, which were still running in theaters at the time, were done in the form of Sibling Rivalry vlogs, the first containing a Spoiler Corner video. The two films would later be reviewed again as proper Disneycember reviews.

By Popular Demand (February 2016)[]

2016: The direct-to-video/DVD films[]

This Disneycember focused on the animated films (excluding Inspector Gadget 2) which were released on video and DVD, mostly on the sequels.

2017: Disney Channel Original Movies[]

This Disneycember focused on a large majority of Disney Channel Original Movies, both the popular ones and the less popular ones.

2018: "All-Around By Popular Demand" Month[]

This Disneycember focused on reviewing all overlooked films from six previous Disneycember categories. Unlike the previous categories, however, this goes in no particular order.

2019[]

This Disneycember again focused on reviewing various overlooked films from all previous categories, as Doug has stated that he feels like he doesn't have to connect his Disneycember reviews to themes anymore. In a first for Disneycember, TV shows and short films are added to the list. Sister Act 2: Back in the Habit (1993) was expected to be part of the month but was likely dropped in favor of The Mandalorian (2019).

2020[]

This Disneycember focused on living up to Doug's official plan of reviewing various overlooked films from all previous categories (including films he reviewed before in other series), and adding a new category into the mix. This year, the new category added was films made by 20th Century Fox (only the films made and released after Disney bought the studio). While the upcoming 20th Century Fox film Free Guy was featured in the preview, it wasn't included due to the film being delayed.

2021[]

This Disneycember focused on living up to Doug's official plan of reviewing various overlooked films from all previous categories (including films he reviewed before in other series), and adding a new category into the mix. This year, the new category added was video games made by Disney and starring Disney characters.

2022[]

This Disneycember will focus on living up to Doug's official plan of reviewing various overlooked films from all previous categories (including films he reviewed before in other series), and adding a new category into the mix. This year saw two new categories added with films made by Blue Sky Studios and Marvel/Star Wars video games. In addition, Doug will also talk about spoilers for any film previously reviewed in other series.

2023[]

This Disneycember will focus on living up to Doug's official plan of reviewing various overlooked films from all previous categories (including films he reviewed before in other series), and adding a new category into the mix. This year saw films made by Hollywood Pictures added to the list.

In the month of February 2013, Doug Walker made a spin-off of Disneycember called Dreamworks-uary, reviewing the DreamWorks animated movies as a result of Disneycember's popularity. Films such as Puss in Boots and Rise of the Guardians were not reviewed as Doug had already reviewed/forgotten about Puss in Boots, and Rise of the Guardians' DVD was not yet released.
