Can you please listen so some songs from Littest Pet Shop from 2012 please please!!!

[@macrimelon]

Ok so in the Barbie movies, it's Barbie AS (name). This is because in Barbie lore, Barbie is an actor. She stars in all of these movies, aside from a Fairy Secret and Fashion Fairytale, and the shows. These focus on her as an actor, but aside from that, she's just playing a role.

[@crystallotus3422]

Yes hence why she often has a different name in her movies

[@TacShovel]

Yes, except for the very first three, where Barbie is talking to (her sister?) small Barbie and tells a story which is the movie

[@Nevertoleave]

[@s.rayla.s229]

Explained perfectly!!

[@challengemeneo]

YE! And I think that’s incredibly cool lmao

[@c3killia]

I love how much you misinterpreted that first song. Barbie(pink dress) is in an arranged marriage with a man she’s never met who’s a king of a different kingdom because of the kingdom’s poverty. Blue dress is a victim of the poverty and is “in debt” to the woman she works for. Both of them are forced to do things they don’t want to because of poverty and their entire lives are controlled by someone else.

[@amirulamani1487]

Eh typical Matthew. He is watching these out of context

[@amdete8254]

Well the song does sound unbalanced even with context

[@sanxxxx]

​@@amdete8254 Does it? I'd rather work than have not totally consenual sex all the time with a man I don't like. And I say that as someone that is poor as shit.

[@bituinl]

@@amdete8254 the song is very balanced. After all what's the point of living if you're forced to do things? Or having to do things you don't want to do, but have to do it because igs gheif duty? Living a life you don't want to live is very emotionally draining. Not to mention depressing. /lh

[@MuseHathor]

@@bituinlno it’s not balanced hahaha living in privilege/not needing to worry about debt + being in an arranged marriage or working as a “slave” and worrying about debt. I think I know which situation I wouldn’t want to be in.

[@strawcold]

Princess and the Pauper actually has a cute little fandom that gush over how adorable these two are and they have pointed out that the pauper was downplaying her situation and she was the one initiating the entire "I'm just like you" chorus to not make the princess feel bad for her. They said there was no way making a gown was as easy as she described it as in the song compared to how it would be done realistically, and also bc technically she wouldn't be having such a hard time if it was that easy. Also, she didn't mention any financial problems to the princess.

[@gurglequeen433]

Also we get to see how hard it is to make dresses when Annalise is locked in Madame Carps shop trying to help Erica's friend.

[@ajotinha1655]

thats so cute actually!

[@amberluppens3292]

@@gurglequeen433 I really love how during that scene the other seamstress who’s name escapes me is like “your highness you really don’t have to help” and Annelise is like “but I can’t leave you to do it all alone!” And I’m like “girl that’s code for please stop ‘helping’”

[@woggersonsawesome4916]

“Do you want context?” “No thanks!” *Proceeds to criticize poetic scene without context* To clarify Mathew: In the song “Girl like You” the Princess and the Pauper are bonding over the validation of Trauma. While Erika(Pauper) is an indentured servant and Annalise is a Princess in an economically arranged Marriage, they both have the same valid feeling of feeling trapped and helpless in their life while also feeling a responsibility to complete the role the world has assigned them. And despite their situations are totally different, their feelings and emotions are both valid. It’s a story told mostly through dialogue alone, because 2004 Barbie Movies didn’t have a super large animation budget to create flashy action or affects-which is why you’ll see mostly animal sidekicks performing said role in the early movies-and had to tell their story through the character interactions alone. You should totally watch the full movie-and especially listen to the dialogue-because it’s truely a work of art for its time

[@daisy3525]

Thank you 😭 that's really well articulated! I usually like his reactions a lot so I was excited when i saw he was doing barbie songs! But his reaction to that song was driving me crazy. Barely made it through with him just missing the point so badly after explicitly refusing to get the context. I feel like even just watching "Free" first, before "a girl like you", would have helped that a lot.

[@turnipcrazy4602]

@@daisy3525 He really should have reacted to Free first. It contextualizes the whole set up within one song. Plus it's so good, my favorite line is always "Duty means doing the things your heart may well regret". Such a deep line

[@daisy3525]

@@turnipcrazy4602 oh, that line embedded itself in my brain and altered my brain chemistry. And it speaks volumes to the beneath-surface similarities between those two, their shared drive to do what is right and what their duty calls for, even as opposed to what they truly desire. Their circumstances are different but their core struggle is the same and that line in particular encompassed all of that so well! Honestly, Barbie songs had no right being as good as they were, but hell if they didn't deliver on everything.

[@ruriva4931]

I think it says a lot that the pauper in the princess in the pauper was the one to first say that they were similar. It would sound high handed starting from the princess, however from the pauper it’s actually quite daring and empowering. In another story if a peasant girl dared to say that she was no different than the princess it would probably kill her. They are nearly identical and have similar personalities and are able to empathize with the common reality of being born into responsibilities. The message I am a girl like you is also way better than a I’m not other girls mindset.

[@gabbykillin2010]

“What royal duties dose a princesses have?” “Watch the movie” 😂😂😂😂😂

[@marissabulso6439]

I mean, the girl in the blue dress in the first song is the one who insisted they were alike. The princess was like, “you sure about that? Because I definitely just said I get my breakfast on a silver tray and you definitely just said you have fetch your own eggs from a mile away…” It’s actually really sweet and generous-hearted of Erika (blue dress) to find common ground with Anneliese (pink dress) instead of being envious or bitter.

​​@@paige8453xactly! Thank you for saying it. The juxtaposition is the point. Their problems are drastically different in severity, but at the same time, the root of their problems are the same. They are both being stripped of their humanity and agency to serve others soley because they were born into that role, so even though their lives are drastically different, they are the same on a human level and share the same feelings. That's the point of the story. So many people seem to miss that, even Barbie fans. You're right, Free would have definitely put that more into context.

[@Showcowolf123]

Just watch the movies I’m a 23 year old but I’m still a Barbie girl deep down seen every Barbie movies and can’t wait for the live action

[@HopeforAllKind]

The fact that he refused context and then started criticising Annalise was really hard to get through without raging… And also the fact that he downplayed the duties of a royal - they literally have the lives of all their people depending on their actions and decisions. They may have material luxuries but even in real history it’s a well-established fact that those material luxuries come at the price of their freedom - if the need arises they themselves (their lives and marriages) become pieces to trade and barter with. I honestly think part of it may just be that he’s a guy and thinking from a male perspective (which is why he doesn’t see why Annalise’s situation is actually perfectly comparable to Erica’s). Annalise is smart and perfectly capable of leading her Kingdom but because of her gender most of the people around her see her not as a potential leader but basically a vase to be sold off for marriage (as though her only worth is to be traded off). Additionally, she’s not allowed to pursue her love for the sciences or behave in any way that is different from how a princess should be (ie the stereotypical feminine hobbies and skills etc). Added to that is the fact that she is about to be sold off in marriage to a stranger and because it is her duty as princess and for the sake of the many she can’t even reject that marriage. Erika is suffering because she is unable to pursue her dream of being a singer due to being duty bound to the owner of the dress shop. Annalise is similarly suffering because she is being forced into a mould to fit the needs of her people while also being sold off to a stranger and she is also similarly unable to escape because of duty.

I don't know ask Celestia what type of duties a princess have.

[@lexleo-kelly6346]

okay, just for context in the second song: if the queen dies Barbie would become queen. if she married striker (or whatever his name was, he's fabulous but unmemorable) he would not become King. "A ruling queen's husband is called a Prince Consort because the title of King is only given to a monarch who inherits the throne and can reign." As he has no royal blood in him, he has no claim to the throne after Barbie's death, as there would be many people within her bloodline who the throne would go to. for example, if Queen Lizzie 2 had died before Phillip, he had a technical claim to the tthrone as he was an estranged cousin of hers many times removed, BUT as she had children, they have a stronger claim to the throne. Also, HI from England :)

[@finland4ever55]

Princess and the Pauper actually takes place in England so I'm assuming this is accurate

[@Tia-bs9mv]

Barbie was my childhood 😭

[@silversamurai0267]

So, I think the important takeaway of "Girl Like You" is that it shouldn't matter how different the problems are. Just because one person might have things comparatively worse, that does not necessarily negate the problems of someone who has things comparatively better. Erika (the girl in blue) is a very positive-minded kind girl, while the princess is sheltered and naive. They've met and want to be friends, so Erika finds common ground. They both long to escape their problems and follow their dreams. They're both trapped in situations that hurt their very spirit. Regardless of the differing severity, they have the same problem, and they each deserve to be free of it. The very root of the problem is the same, so they are the same. Thus, they understand each other. (Also, their singing voices were by the same voice actor. That's probably why it's suck an amazing harmony.)

Early Barbie movies (which I actually saw, as opposed to the later ones which were better in that aspect but I had grown up one year too much), had waaay better (and catchier) music than animation. That and they had consistently unforgettable plotlines that as a kid, genuinely embedded themselves in your brain. So the franchise was set in stone from the very start. (And kids could not tell good from bad animation.)

I really, really hope you continue this! Watching a KZbinr actually compliment Barbie movie content rather than berate it is refreshing to someone who grew up mesmerized by their songs. And though I want to spout out recommendation after recommendation, I really hope you give Barbie as the island princess a chance. Personally I think every single song in there is great, but if you listen to “right here in my arms” the first version and the climax version, I really believe you will love it. This was an awesome video!

I love that you love the Rock 'n Royals medley so much. To clarify: there are two different schools Rock and Royalty and they put on a compitions between the two schools for the land. Whoever won got the land adjacent. Rock and Royalty students didn't like this so with the help of Princess Courtney (Barbie) and Erica (a Pop star) who accidently got sent to the wrong schools they decided to work together to save the schools. But there is a twist and I'm not telling you what it is.

'Barbie of Swan Lake', 'Barbie in the Nutcracker', 'Barbie as Rapunzel', 'Barbie and the Three Musketeers' and 'Barbie Presents Thumbelina' are titles reflecting that Barbie was portrayed as an actress or storyteller. Its meant to symbolise little girls playing with their Barbie pretending to be a Princess and such. It's a super smart strategy! Barbie continued this on and off until 2015. I... Disagree with the statement about not feeling sorry for royalty ahah. Princess Anneliese's story is all about how she's royalty so she cannot live independently and make choices for herself - similar how Erika cannot live her life as she works for debt. They are different, but alike, hex the first song. Anneliese was in love with her best friend/tutor and didn't want to be in an arranged marriage. Yes, Nick and Nack *are* some of the best Barbie movie characters, and Preminger (who sings "How Can I Refuse") was voiced by Martin Short which is why his voice changes pitch. Context is important for these songs, so you might wanna watch the movies next time to better understand the plot explained aha

You should do Princess and the Popstar songs! It’s my favorite Barbie movie!

[@aforaesthetics1620]

This made me want to rewatch all my favourite barbie movies haha. Please, please do more of these!

[@Somewhere-only-we-know]

More Barbie songs you have to listen to that are Broadway level good are: I need to know (Barbie the Island Princess) Right here in my arms reprise (Barbie the Island Princess) Love is for peasants (Barbie the Island Princess) Here I am (Barbie Princess and the Pop-star) To be a princess (Barbie Princess and the Pauper) I want it all (Barbie the Secret Door) Highly suggest the songs from the Island Princess as they are peak barbie songs!!

[@simplyepic3258]

Lol, I'd love to see you watch the entire Barbie Princess and the Pauper. That whole movie is truly something.

[@im_gonna_be_astar1639]

Barbie rock n' royals is my favorite!!! THE SONGS ARE UP THEREE

[@meddlesome-]

(before I'm watching) You Can Tell She's A Princess from Princess Charm School slaps + Connected from Diamond Castle lives rent-free in my head

[@njivwathomassilavwe2056]

There are few things more iconic than Barbie movie songs

[@keona5560]

Not having any Diamond Castle songs is a federal crime and I cannot allow this to stand!

[@ayabenmansour1107]

a little context on the barbie lore,in the first couple movies barbie tells her little sister some fantasy stories wich we get to watch and teaches her (and us) a life lesson by the end of it,then the other movies are just roles she plays as an actress hence why she goes by different names in them ,this part is explained in her two movies fairy secret and fashion fairytale where she is herself and we get to see her real life play out,in recent years tho it has been switching between her acting roles and her real life with her sisters.

This was really fun, loved the video and i'd love a part 2 aswell. Feel like theres a lot of barbie songs you'd like, the songs from charm school "(you can tell she's a princess" and "on top of the world") and the songs from diamond castle ("connected" and "two voices one song" espeically) are some of my favorites, rock 'n royals have some other great songs aswell ^-^

[@SaveMeMoon]

As someone who knows nothing about how music actually works I just love listening to people explain and get excited about things in my favourite childhood classics like this. I seriously hope he makes another video with more songs!

[@trishbug6696]

Fun fact, the Preminger voice actor is Martin Short who voices the Cat and the Hat.

[@-callmecrazy-5859]

Barbie in The Island Princess has my favourite barbie songs please do "I need to know"!

[@andreiamendes5449]

I think this one is very famous, but there's the swan lake orchestral piece from one of the barbie movies that I love to this day :D

[@enderbgender797]

The first two are definitely some of my favorite barbie songs.

[@TheSourLemon.]

Finale mash up is honestly one of my favorites, but there are so many more really good ones i think you should listen to as well

[@jordanenby9734]

Seeing the Princess and the Pauper one brought back my childhood SO HARD. I loved seeing that song again. It's been almost 15 years since I last heard that song tbh.

[@maskedbandit189]

Ok, Barbie has some absolute BANGERS. Some movies I would suggest finding songs from are Big City Big Dreams, The Barbie Diairies, Princess and the Popstar, and Fashion Fairytale or Fairy Secret!
