I actually never wanted to look like barbie. I just used her to escape and of course, live in her fantasy.

[@HereIAm247]

Exactly. I loved Barbie, and owned a lot of them. But never once did it occur to me that I should look exactly like her. Sure, I always wanted an hourglass figure (though that was not because of barbie), and to be attractive, but at the most, maybe I took some inspiration from Barbie in my younger years (such as hair, clothes, mascara), but even a child knows that you are not meant to look exactly like a doll.

When you brought up Barbie: The Princess and The Pauper I got nervous. I watched that movie so often when I was a child. I have so much nostalgia for it, even though the animation isn't the best but I love the movie and I was getting nervous because I was wondering if it was just my nostalgia. I am SO glad that it still holds up!

[@brynniefresh9746]

I’ve watched it as an adult and dude there are some great messages! like erika is a servant but she doesn’t belittle annalise’s struggles, she just says that it sucks. and when Annalise pays off erika’s debt instead of the king that was the rich one who easily could have.

[@eldritchchaos2663]

2001-2005: primarily fairy tales, excellent pacing, villain actually poses a threat, overall absolute masterpieces 2006-2015: switched from dolls on covers to CGI, animation style changes, fantasy themed (mermaids, fairies, with a few Christmas movies which also include magic), villains progressively less of a real threat but still interesting 2015-present: more real-world scenarios, with some sci-fi themed movies (space travel, spies), animation changed to a more 3D model appearance, includes relevant topics of today though still geared toward children, storytelling goes down (lazy writers?)

I won't lie to you I could write an entire essay on barbie as the princess and the pauper, it's not just incredibly well written and acted, with AMAZING songs (did you know the London symphony orchestra performed them?) but has so many incredible underlying messages like how such a large class divide can create villains or victims out of the working class and make them turn on even each other (Erika is a victim of Madam Carp, who likes to think she's a member of a higher social class, even lying about being close friends with the princess, wearing extravagant clothes and mistreating the seamstresses, and preminger is the son of a peasant, who likely despises royalty because of how poor he grew up). like I know they created the barbie movies in order to sell doll lines but with this movie you can seriously tell how much they cared about actually creating something *good*. I still think we need a live action remake, the only thing holding it back is the animation.

[@Jui60]

My recommendations for other Barbie Movies: - Rapunzel (I'm still feeling satisfied whenever I watch the ending) - Nutcracker (The music of Tschaikowsky, the colors and the storyline, especially the twist at the end (if you want to call it that way). It's my all-time favorite Barbie movie) - Swan Princess (The music of Tschaikowsky and the lighting during some parts of this movie make it a candy for your eyes and ears) - the first two Fairytopia movies are not as great as the earlier movies, but still good (and I still believe that they carry strong messages for young girls) Basically I believe all earlier movies were better than the new ones. The reason might be that I grew up with them but the newer ones often don't feel right. Sometimes it's the lighting or the color scheme or the pacing of the story (to fast or to slow) or even the whole storyline which is either too ambitious for 90 minutes or it's just bullshit. So my basic rule for Barbie movies is "The first few ones were the best."

[@JoyEmpress]

These are my favorites too :)

[@marina5964]

In my opinion the newer movies are way too pink, the bright magenta on everything hurts the eyes, and I won't even talk about the obsession over puppy movies. The older ones were pink too but the soft and light tones added a dreamy and magic atmosphere to the story, it felt right in some way. Or I'm just nostalgic, who knows

Internet wasn't as present in 2004 so they took more liberties with the plot, and I think that was for the best. It made Barbie magical. And yes, Life in the Dreamhouse is amazing. Fantastic.

[@adrianaunderworld2880]

For barbie movie recommendations, most of the older princess movies are a safe bet. Rapunzel is one of my favorites, it definitely stands out for me as an adaptation of the fairy tale. Princess charm school also holds a special place in my heart.

[@fantasmawhitetuber6479]

I love This movies but i love too,Island Princess,Princess and the popstar and diamond castle and of course,12 dancing Princess

[@melsch8740]

The princess and the pauper is SO GOOD. It's legit one of my favourite movies and it had a massive impact on my childhood

[@alecleo3434]

Me too. I even wanted the dolls so much. At the end I only own a Erika dolls. I want Annelise as well..

[@jesseleiker4228]

Barbie as The Island Princess. That one sticks in my mind as one of my favorites as a child.

[@dayzmei]

it's a very good movie and is one of my favs

[@talimbeingaverythriftyghor5967]

One my faves including Mariposa and Diamond Castle

[@Rocca000]

That elephant though...

[@SolenMR]

Good movie but I HATE the elephant. She was so selfish. Seriously, she was the real antagonist of the story. They could have died because of her

[@danaavila1702]

"Barbie in the Three Musketeers" was my favorite as a kid.

[@thebutterflyprincexoxo]

Watch, “The Island Princess” and “Princess Charm School”. There is also “Mermaid Tale”, “Mariposa”, “Three Musketeers”

[@shukezi3619]

The barbie online vlogs have the voice actor sit at a table and do the recording while wearing a motion tracking suit. That's why they were able to get fairly realistic movements with her arms and stuff in the animation. Also the barbie vlog about blm and racism does a pretty good job at explaining systemic racism to kids so there's that.

Awesome video! And I actually recommend Barbie: Swan Lake (since I don’t really see anyone commenting about it). It has Kelsey Grammar as Rothbart, and it’s just a lot of fun. Barbie: Magic of Pegasus is also really great!

[@AyakoHideko]

It's so weird to think that Brie Larson sang a song for Magic of the Pegasus, now that I know that info xD My mind cannot put Barbie and Captain Marvel into the same compartment and it frustrates me :")

[@twohumm2445]

I grew up with the "classic" barbie movies of the 2000s as a kid. I loved the 12 dancing princesses, fairytopia and mermaidia, the island princess, magic of the pegasus, rapunzel, swan lake, the diamond castle... and so on. 😆 The nostalgia is crazy, and they're kind of my comfort movies. Ahh, the simpler, innocent times!

[@twohumm2445]

To me, those were the "originals", because they were some of the first stories I watched and liked. No one can say otherwise, haha

[@123dididi]

Glad I’m not the only one who used to torture my dolls.

[@SirAsdf]

Remember when Barbie introduced a line of dolls that were made to represent every type of body type (and some even with skin conditions)? That was pretty cool

[@powerpuff4ever]

I honestly love how they’re handling this era of Barbie. She’s relevant, encouraging, and a pretty convincing teenager. I do want them to go back to making movies unrelated to whatever show is going but Dreamhouse Adventures and that universe is really charming and fun

[@smu8672]

And talking about sensitive topics like depression.She is iconic as she has always been

[@springsnature7037]

I love it too. Especially when they let her talk about racism. I do want to see Barbie acting in more stories like the old movies too, however.

[@chenoaholdstock3507]

I hate to tell you, I know multiple people who STILL say Be-Tee-Dubs out loud. Also, I adore the dedication of painting your whole face blue for 1 jump cut. Also also, there is a Barbie cannon. So, like, they do this really cool thing where some of the movies are Barbie, as Barbie, who is cannonically an actor (at the moment) doing things, and then they have Barbie movies where Barbie is acting as someone else, like an actor. Ohkay, so, good example, in Barbie... In a Fashion Fairytale, I think?... There's this moment where they're looking for a hidden panel, and they stop and try to work out where it is, when Barbie goes 'oh, I acted in a movie where there was a hidden panel that you had to press, and you got a secret passageway!" which is actually a reference to Barbie and the Three Musketeers. My favorite Barbie film is Barbie and Three Musketeers, by the way. And, one other thing, I recently saw a Ken doll that you can shave, and the beard grows back. Which is awesome. I stopped collecting Barbies about 3 years ago in favor of Lego, but I still love the internally consistent cannon.

I missed old Barbie movies with good stories and memorable characters especially meaningful songs. Many modern Barbie movies are too generic than the old ones. Princesses, popstars, fashion is too much in the modern movies. Barbie Starlight Adventure is one of the few modern Barbie movies that I think is amazing and unique. The recent movie (I forgot the title but the switch princess movie) is good so maybe the movies will get better.

The one I remember really loving was Barbie as Rapunzel since it just seemed so cool and, now that I'm older, creative how they handled that movie and it's story and magical objects and story beats. Highly recommend that one for an interesting movie, to say the least.
