its very important to me that you know that there are actually TWO types of barbie movies that exist in the BCU. one is where barbie is just barbie, and her name is barbie and its either about her, or she’s telling a story where she’s being imagined as the main character. the other is like this movie and princess and the pauper, where the movie is actually a movie IN a movie and barbie is the actress playing the main character (genevive, annalise) you can even watch the “bloopers” in the end credits so basically barbie is super fucking meta

I actually think the fan at the end is clever writing, cause she uses the thing against Rowena, that Rowena used to oppress her earlier - the thing, the princesses were laughed at, because they couldn't do it. The whole movie celebrates individuality. Rowena tried to take individuality away from them, making them all look and do the same, but in the end, they use their unique skills to fight back.

As a ballet dancer, the animation for the dancing is surprisingly good. I was expecting to see just a ton of really rigid lines and random movements, but it actually captured the fluditiy of dance and the moves were pretty accurate. (Although I will say, dancers never count past eight and her counting to twelve felt weird lol.) And I'd never seen the barbie movies before because my mom never let me have anything to do with barbie as a kid but seeing all these people get so nostalgic in the comments makes me feel like I missed a key part of my childhood.

You play a bunch of mini games and have to match the gemstones to the right princess. After you find each Princess, you get to choreograph a dance for each, but not a pretty ballet dance.

Fun fact, this Barbie movie is actually an adaptation of the story “The Shoes That Were Danced to Pieces” by the Brothers Grimm. It was more dark in that the king asks that a man discover where his daughters are going to dance at night, and if the man succeeds, he would be the next king and marry the daughter of his choice, but if the man tries and fails, he would be executed 😅

Then they started making the Fairytopia and Mermaidia movies and I think, they continued with other mermaid movies because they noticed that it was selling better to their target audience perhaps, also with eliminating Princesses from their movies, they didn't need to compete with the Disney Princesses.

As a hardcore Barbie fan, the title actually says a lot. Is it says '" Barbie in-" or "Barbie as-" that means she is acting. But if it's a simple title like "Barbie: fairy secret" or "Barbie diaries." The only exception being Mariposa, which appears to be in a completely different alternate reality of Fairytopia. So like Mariposa is either a fanfic within the Fairytopia universe or a canon event in Fairytopia. Barbie Dreamhoise Adventure (Not life in a dreamhouse) is set before she became an actress likely since it's meant to be a prequel, likely during the timeline of Barbie Diaries.

If you ever run out of Barbie movies (or want something with a similar vibe but actually watchable) I'd love to see what you make of the Equestria Girls movies.

There's actually a in-universe reason as to why they reuse the character modles in the barbie movies. They are actualy movies that barbie (an actual actress) plays, and when a character has the same modle as other characters in other movies it's because the actor is the same, we see it in Barbie: fashion fairytale and a few other movies It's honestly unhinged and fits perfectly in the context of the barbie movies

so, y’know barbie does every single job bc she’s a girlboss, so her actress job has us as the audience? so her movie powers are interdimensional bc we’re not in the barbie universe. or maybe we are, idk!

In the very first Barbie movies there was actually a framing device of Barbie narrating the story to Kelly whenever Kelly was feeling down about something, so I always assumed that the reason why the same characters appeared in different roles was Barbie was filling them with people they knew, hence Barbie always being the heroine, Ken the dashing romantic interest and Kelly taking whatever kid role there was. For whatever reason, after Swan Lake they dropped the whole Barbie and Kelly bookending the movie.

You should do Barbie and the Magic of Pegasus next. It's arguably one of the best and well-realized movies out of the bunch, especially when it comes to the story (at least from the ones I've seen which were all of them until 2014 or something).

that was one of my favorites as a kid! i obsessed over her ice skating dress at the start so hard haha.

Even as a 31 year-old, the 2000s Barbie movies will always have a massive soft spot in my heart. TDP is definitely in my top 3 and 10 favorite movies but I'd give anything to have him talk about Island Princess. At first, I didn't like it because...man did that elephant freak me out even when I was sixteen. But choosing to do an entire Barbie marathon a few years later, the movie grew on me.

Barbie and the 12 dancing princess is actually my favourite Barbie movie. Recently, I found a CD for the movie and it just brought back soo many memories. Nostalgia 🥺 Can’t wait for the barbie movie in July ✨

If you want the ✨’steamiest’✨ Barbie movie romance I’d suggest Barbie: Magic of Pegasus, it probably has the darkest undertones with child trafficking being at the heart of the narrative. It was also the first Barbie movie to have a 3D option with the dvd (with those paper red and blue glasses)

I recommend doing Barbie Princess Charm School

I always loved how a Barbie movie wrote such a painful fate for the power-tripping woman and that guy. Unstoppably dancing until literal death must have been so exhausting and tortuous. Definitely one of my favourite Barbie movies. Swan Lake would be good for a future video. The villain guy and his daughter with the weird voice are truly... something.

I know you can guarantee I'll be watching every one of your Barbie videos either way! Also, I definitely recommend the original three and the Fairytopia series, but in honest, it wasn't until - let me look it up... late 2008 that I even started getting disappointed by a title from time to time. Oh! And you should definitely watch The Barbie Diaries from 2006! It's hilarious! Unintentionally bizarre, a strange time capsule, and an early 3D animated high school drama!

Mother of princess is gold digger who married her father because he was old and rich and died a few days after the wedding (very suspicious if you ask me) Gold digger tries to have island girl killed because prince falls in love with island girl. Gold digger tries to drug everyone at princess’ wedding and commits multiple accounts of treason. Island girl calls her out on it, gold digger tried to flee but is ultimately stopped Island girl finds her long lost mother then marries prince. The end.

Teacher talking to girl about growing up to be a princess and all I can think of is that Oversimplified bit "Oh my alliance with Spain! My poor, poor alliance with Spain!" "But, what about your son, sir?" "Oh yes, him too, but mostly my alliance with Spain"

Let me tell you, I was OBSESSED with these movies as a kid. You should definitely watch Barbie and the Diamond Castle next! That one was always my favourite haha.

I think it would actually be best to watch them chronologically. You get to see how they change, why, and how they are more a product of their time. To me, the change in the Barbie movies is something really interesting. The animation gets so much better, the music gets more modern, and some stories are not clichés of little girl dreams anymore. So, you should start with Barbie as Rapunzel, I think. However, the Barbie movie you really need to see is Barbie and the Magic of Pegasus. It has got the best story, the best lesson, and the best character arcs of any Barbie movie. This movie is as dark as the Barbie movies get. That one and Rapunzel. But you can only appreciate Pegasus, if you watched the ones that came before.

Princess Charm School is like being in a crazy fever dream. I would high recommend watching that one!

I liked the story, girl finds herself saving a wooden soldier and goes to a magical world. Honestly wasn't until years later I found out that it was technically all a dream to Clara and I was dumbfounded....probably even more so than figuring out what the story is an allegory to.
