Do you know the Disney Collector? You know, the YouTube videos your toddler will watch for five hours at a time while some faceless Russian lady opens mystery eggs and explains princess accessories in excruciating detail while talking verrrrrrry sloooooooooooowly?
Yes, THAT Disney Collector.
Do you know Disney Collector has over 3 billion views and is currently the 3rd most viewed YouTube channel? I don’t know how many dollars that translates into but one thing is for sure— this woman isn’t just annoying, she is an annoyingly loaded GENIUS.
Check out this parody of the Disney Collector from “What’s Up Moms“. Elle does on spot-on imitation of the woman moms love to hate. I mean, just hate to hate. THERE IS NO LOVE.
Except if we need to hop in the shower. Then that thirty-five minutes of egg unwrapping is MAGIC.
FYI: I’ve caught Harlow watching Disney Collector on more than one occasion, but Mazzy is more a fan of DisneyCarToys, who I believe is the 4th most popular YouTube channel. That’s the one who uses Frozen dolls to act out “wholesome” fan fiction, which seemed innocent enough until the video where Kristoff gets “snot” all over Anna’s face after a night in bed together. Too much SNEEZING, I guess.
I should clarify— DisneyCarToys used to be the 4th most popular channel until I banned Mazzy from watching DisneyCarToys ever again and her views plummeted by about four million a day.
Sorry, DisneyCarToys, if the loss of Mazzy led you to home foreclosure or anything.
Maybe next time, you will rethink your “wholesome” plot lines.

Do you know that woman made $4.9 MILLION off those Youtube videos LAST YEAR ALONE? Maybe we got into the wrong business…
Wow that is a huge number! How do you know she has made that much money?
As I was watching the parody, my 10 month old was transfixed.
Amen mama. I also banned the creep-o DisneyCarToys after watching the stupid shit they act out. And hearing the Disney Collector’s voice makes me want to throat-punch her. That being said, she is my go-to when I need 45 minutes of silence to get dinner on the table.
LOL, I thought only my daughter watches these! I had to disable youtube, safari and google from the ipad so she wouldn’t watch these channels anymore. It came to a point where she started talking like those creepy women.
As I was watching it, my four year old hears the video and said “who’s that? Can I watch?” And is now bugging me to watch YouTube on my phone.
My 3 year old is also in love with those channels but I just banned them since she started asking me to buy all the toys she was seeing. I think the channels lost a few million views from me banning them also.
OMG! You NAILED IT! I thought I had the only weirdos on the planet who watched these YouTube videos!!! My daughter’s living request day in and day out is “play DOH mama!” And naturally people assume she wants to PLAY with actual play DOH…..NOPE she rather watch some creepy person do it!
I, too, thought my kids were the only ones watching these videos. We have a regular rotation of Disney Collector, DisneyCarsToys, Disney Car Toys Club, Cookie Swirl C, and Bins Toy Bin. These people creep me out!! I do love that they keep my super-early bird occupied so I can get a few more precious minutes of sleep, though!
I blame this channel for my daughters mispronunciation of “play doh” and the fact she now cannot play with play doh unless she is humming the DC collector background music. But I guess there are worse ways to rake in millions a year: http://www.buzzfeed.com/hillaryreinsberg/youtubes-biggest-star-is-an-unknown-toy-reviewing-toddler-wh#.hhza1wyag3
[…] The solution seems to be to find great games that will engage the kids enough, so they won’t want to switch over to passive viewing. (Especially passive viewing that includes that Disney Collector lady!) […]
I believe, if an old buzzfeed article I read a few months ago is correct, DC and DCT are MARRIED… as in to each other. As in they are an evil genius power couple.
Hey there ladies.. I agree with you all, but mostly with Alessia, who said…
“Amen mama. I also banned the creep-o DisneyCarToys after watching the stupid shit they act out. And hearing the Disney Collector’s voice makes me want to throat-punch her. That being said, she is my go-to when I need 45 minutes of silence to get dinner on the table.”
Hopefully my channel, TOY TYCOON HD isn’t quite so annoying, but maybe I’m delusional. My intent was to entertain kids so mommies can get a few minutes of peace. (I have four boys, so I know the drill) But at the end of the day, I know my voice will probably make you all watch to throat-punch me too. LOL 🙂

As a tween youtuber I actually don’t understand why parents would hate this kind of stuff,I probably don’t know because I grew up with a deaf mom but I have come to really enjoy these things,I’m not a HUGE fan of these people but my number 1 favorite is cookieswirlc and I feel like most adults will not enjoy her voice as she is very fun and hyper the way she talks, but I really enjoy her things and most of these channels I just find it kind of offensive for the younger people who understand what this means 10+ as I am 12 almost 13,but I guess it doesn’t matter so much and I guess now to most of these parents I am apparently crazy or a weirdo but I don’t care I’m a collector at heart and no I don’t talk like them I have my own channel for only specific things as in the Lps tube that people take seriously with film and directing.
First, the DisneyCollecter woman is from Brazil. If you can’t tell the difference in accents you may want to be more diverse in your worldviews. Second, she is making way more money doing youtube videos than she ever made making the videos she used to make. Those videos would be pron videos. Google it for details. A neighbor outed her. I personally feel her past has zero bearing on what she does now, since kids absolutely love her.
FAR WORSE than Disney toy collector..who’s voice was at least somewhat soothing…..and Disney car whatever..which had me flabbergasted (I am on the Autistic spectrum and have had a hunch that maybe she is too)..no WONDER there are so many of these videos ..if my only job was making videos and raking in millions of dollars by being an adult who plays with dolls, I would be doing this crap too….Anyway….ANYWAY….
COOKIE SWIRL C (eeee!) who always seems like she is on speed and who randomly speeds up the pitch of her voice to emphasise her utter over the top EXCITEMENT AT each tiny little detail….SHE COMPLETELY ECLIPSES those other weird annoying ladies….I am currently doing research on how to block her channel when I came across this site..Thank you!
Haha! Last comment especially about COOKIE SWIRL C (eeee!) … found this thread after being exposed to that saccharine speedy sweetness. More of a fructose corn syrup when all we need is a slice of fruit for sugar- at least when it comes to “child’s” play.
Also do know the channel of the brazilian parodied you-tuber. I agree that at least her energy level is “normal”.
A few months ago I happened to check my email to see some large payments to eBay via PayPal. I didn’t make any purchases & neither did husband. My internet savvy daughter went from watching horrid YouTube videos to eBay where she could buy all the wonderful toys she saw on YouTube. We scrambled to cancel all the orders she made – roughly $500 in all from some pissed off eBay sellers. We also very quickly severed our PayPal account from eBay.
