As I understand it, the problem with the bourees is that Barbie's legs are a lot narrower than human legs. So where the human dancer's legs are fully crossed, Barbie's legs don't quite make it. That's one of the fails that is pretty solidly the fault of the transition to animation. (You can also see this with the Eric's gestures vs Barbie's gestures thing, because Eric's arms are a lot closer to the proportions of a human man's arms than Barbie's are to a human woman's arms.)

As an after-hour adult ballet dancer and a professional animator, I'm not surprised that so many moves aren't that authentic in this movie. Given that it was released in 2001, back then the rigging technique* was quite basic and limited, even the animators knew how the dancers should move, they would be restricted to the tools they had in hand to make it more realistic. It is one of the main reasons that 3D characters move so stiff and unnatural in that era. * 3D rigging is a process in which we take the digital sculpture of a character, build the skeleton, and the muscles, and attach the skin to the character, and we also create a set of animation controls, which our animators use to push and pull the body around. Will you consider reacting to Leap!(2016)? It's a 3D animated musical film that features an orphan girl who dreams of being a ballerina. You can see the characters' dancing movement becomes a lot more natural than those in the early 3D Barbie movies and it's simply because the 3D tools are heaps better by then. :)

If I remember correctly in many of the early Barbie movies many of the dancing scenes were animated with mocap suits with dancers from Boston Ballet (I could be wrong on which company but it is mentioned in many extras in the DVDs) . So some of the awkward positions and postures may be because of the animators looking at the mocap tracking rather than the actual dancers in the mocap suits. They used this for many of the early barbie movies that highlighted dancing (in. Nutcracker, Swan Lake, 12 Dancing Princesses, etc.) I love your videos btw and rewatching all of the old barbie scenes reminds me of when I was younger and fell in love with ballet.

@@balletreign In Swan Lake they also have two other dance scenes. I think that the pas de deux between Odile and Siegfried gives the most Ballet source but the scenes where “odette receives a Dance lesson from the fairy queen” or the (very short) beginning scene where odette dances in the bakery are also interesting scenes to react on. So if the pas de deux is to short you cuties can also use the two other scenes🦋♥️

Thank you Ladies for this! Prince "ERIC?!" ITA with you - no way is that a princely name😄))) The choreographer of the Royal Ballet's production, Sir Peter Wright chose the name "Hans-Peter" for Herr Drosselmeyer's nephew when it first premiered at Covent Garden back in 1984. In the original 1816 book, E.T.A. Hoffman's "The Nutcracker and the Mouse King," the backstory (centuries before the curtain rises) is that the royal wizard Drosselmeyer's name is "Christian Elias." The King's newborn daughter Princess Pirlipat is turned ugly by the Queen's half-sister, Lady Mouserinks, the Mouse Queen. Before this, there was an infestation of rodents (Mouserinks' subjects), in the palace and the King ordered Drosselmeyer to exterminate them. Drosselmeyer built a mousetrap which took out the majority of the Mouse Queen's kingdom. So, for payback, when the Princess was born, Lady Mouserinks the Mouse Queen cast a spell on the Princess that her made her face ugly - completely hideous. She looked like a troll or gnome. The King blamed Drosselmeyer and ordered him to cure his daughter or die. Drosselmeyer had only a few weeks to find a cure to break the spell before his execution. He found the cure - the kernel in the Krakatuk Nut could break the spell if the Princess ate it. From the moment the Princess was born, she only had an appetite for nuts and she was born with a full set of teeth. Drosselmeyer had a nephew named "Nathaniel Drosselmeyer." Nathaniel was the son of Drosselmeyer's brother, another magician who owned an enchanted toy shop in Nuremberg. "Nathaniel" is a princely name. He is put under the spell by Lady Mouserinks, the Mouse Queen Mother of the 7 headed Mouse Crown Prince. Her son becomes Mouse King, when Nathaniel steps on her back and crushes her after saving Princess Pirlipat from her spell which made her ugly. Pirlipat ate the kernel of the Krakatuk Nut and that broke the spell. Her father the King declared that the young man who could crack the Krakatuk Nut and save his daughter would become the Prince and marry her. He cracked the Krakatuk Nut, she became beautiful again, but he stepped on Lady Mouserinks by accident, while backing up seven paces as Drosselmeyer directed. With Lady Mouserinks' dying breath, she cast the spell on him and he became a Nutcracker. As soon as that happened, Pirlipat - and her father the King rejected him and they were thrown out of the palace and the Kingdom. Nathaniel did become Prince, but only for a short moment. His Uncle then protected him for hundreds of years in secrecy at the Nuremberg toy shop his brother left to him until he met the Stahlbaum family, and became godfather to their children Fritz and his little sister Marie. When the right time came, Drosselmeyer got the *idea* one Christmas Eve (yes, that Christmas Eve), to save his nephew by giving him to his goddaughter, little Marie. She loved him in spite of his ugly face and she broke the spell. This is what happened before the curtain rises and the Overture starts. When Marie tells her parents about her dream (the ballet), they don't believe her and they think she's crazy. Her family and friends treat her like she's crazy and she becomes totally isolated. They made fun of her and they called her "The Dreamer." Some years later (after the ballet is over), Marie is a young woman and she says to the old Nutcracker in her cupboard. "I wouldn't have rejected you like Pirlipat did - even though you weren't handsome anymore." When she says that, this breaks the spell. The very handsome Nathaniel enters her living room with his Uncle and he proposes to her. She accepts and one year later he comes to get her with a golden carriage pulled by +20 white horses and takes her back to the Kingdom of Sweets as his Queen and they all celebrate. They still reign there today. This is the end of the story and this is what happens after the curtain goes down. Hoffman's point was this: There are beautiful things in this world that can be seen only if you have the eyes to see them.

A drawback of rigging animation in this way,is that the equipment adds space because there needs to be sensors and other equipment attachments to the costume itself. So it’s very possible that the space we see between Barbie and the nutcracker prince during their sequence is due to the constraints of the equipment used. It was also 2001 I believe,so it was early equipment used. Plus there’s the fact that Barbie has narrower legs and arms than a normal woman,so that could add to the dissonance between the dancer and the animation.

Prince Eric…. More of a transcendent character than the name of the role played in this particular movie. Prince Eric, in the early 2000’s Barbie movies, is quite like the name “Barbie”. Barbie is not the name of the character she’s playing but her original given name-that you would know who she is, that she’s in the movie, and who she is playing (or what show she is performing in this case). “Prince Eric” is the original given name of that male animated character. Prince Eric also plays the Prince in Barbie As Rapunzel, and the shoe cobbler in Barbie and the Twelve Dancing Princesses (which is one of my faves and so wish, along with many, many others, that it would be turned into a ballet someday). Hope this helps clear up the choice for the name Prince Eric-it’s not that that’s what they decided to name the nutcracker Prince, that’s just Eric’s name and he plays the nutcracker.

What makes me give Clara in this Barbie version a pass is due to her not necessarily being a dancer. You can see in the beginning she keeps insisting on not joining in the dancing and being all, “Oh no, I couldn’t…” So I think it’s impressive as a character herself going from not really understanding how to dance with the snow fairies to now doing THIS!

I'm pretty sure the Clara in this movie didn't know how to dance. So for her first ballet or dance ever this is not bad.

The only Barbie ballet movie I absolutely could not get into was the Barbie Swan Lake. I've seen this one and the 12 Dancing Princesses and even Pink Shoes and I was at least able to watch them.

For the past few years, and a sudden boom this past week, I’ve been super interested in ballet. This video was sooooo informative for a professional’s POV. Loved it! Please do more Barbie videos. They made me fall in love with Tchaikovsky as a child, and their orchestra, I think, does phenomenal renditions 🫶🏼🫶🏼🤍

Oh my gosh- I forgot how creepy the rendering of the characters and set design was for this movie... I mean, it wasn't amazing in Barbie and the pink shoes either, but it was still *better.* When I saw the way Barbie/Clara/Sugar Plum fairy originally rose up on her pointe shoes in this movie, I actually cringed from how creepy and unfinished the animation looked. I'm usually not the kind of person to nit-pick flaws in animation, but even I can tell how bad this looks, just from a technical standpoint even if you ignore the actual dancing. I still personally enjoyed watching Barbie and the pink shoes better, mostly because I admittedly get kind of fatigued watching a straight pas de das just because they tend to be very long, repetitive, and impressive lifts and turns only really impress me when they're in a more condensed amount (like in a normal 1 to 2ish minutes variation.) This one was definitely more authentic to what you would expect from an actual pas de das, but Barbie and the pink shoes is still more entertaining for me. (Although I still cannot get over how bad and cheap Barbie's costume looked in the pink shoes... Her costume here is definitely much better, even if the Sugar Plum fairy would usually wear a platter tutu.)

When you realize the animation is from 2001, it´s decent in my opinion. They did their best with what they had as studio that made Barbie movie after all and Swan lake was great too. But there is also ballet anime, Princess Tutu. There are a lot of scenes that could be interesting in it, for example when Tutu danced without partner in some kind of "dance battle" while the other girl had partner. If you make time and react to it, I really hope that you will like it at least a little. Also, great videos. I think you would make interesting collaboration with Twosetviolin.

That was fun - sorry to miss you live. The feet were pretty poor. I bet you can just automatically animate the actual dancers now. Should at list have been Erich as it is German. The music was of course fab but they MESSED WITH TCHAIKOVSKY

The animation is very limited becuase its so old. Alot of the mistakes are coming from a basic rig ( bones you use to puppet the character ) and becuase its using the motion capture technology that doesnt bring the details accross. Its pretty bad though, i love Barbie but the ballet things uurk me hahhaa. Thanks for the video though ♥ PS heres a nice swan lake for you two :] Its not the original clip but ya kzbin.info/www/bejne/mKCVmIetpr1rbtE&ab_channel=Matthais%27MediaMashups
