The weirdest thing is that when I look back to watching these movies for the first time the animation doesn't seem bad at all, all I remember is the magical worlds, beautiful dresses, the music, the ballet performances and of coarse the desperation to BE the protagonists of the movies.
I'm honestly a little shocked that you never mentioned the fact that Princess Lucianna from Island Princess was a total sweetheart and actually helped Ro prove her innocence by exposing her mother's plan to poison the prince and king.
I like that they copy and paste. It helps me create a big, connecting universe with the films, with certain characters showing up in multiple films or have relatives in other films, and the different inanimate object and animal cameos help to determine the relationships and communication between the different kingdoms. Eventually I developed one giant theory about the Barbie movie timeline.
Odette's ballerina outfit is pretty awesome too :D It's not entirely pink, has different types of blue and purple; it's lovely X3 The peacock dress is just aamzing, so beauitful and unique! One of the best dresses! I like Elina's new wings in Mermaidia, her mermaid form as well; so shiny and the roses were pretty!
Magic of Pegasus was done dirty 😭 my sister and I would watch that one on repeat. The cloud painting ponies, the wives getting revenge in the end, and the dynamics of the love interest 🥺 they just don’t make em like that anymore
The villain being such a creep was a good thing to me. They're supposed to be terrible and to make you root for their downfall. He was the only Barbie vilain to actually creep me out as a child.
Idk I liked Barbie a mermaid tail, Barbie a fashion fairy tail, Barbie a fairy secret, Barbie as the island princess mermaid thing, Barbie and the diamond castle, and Barbie pearl princess or whatever, and Barbie and the three musketeers. Oh Barbie and the pink shoes was okay even though she was king of annoying especially in Barbie princess charm school. Either way I liked em. OMG I forgot that Barbie movie but the one with the small fairies and she had fake wings and there was the rich kid and her toxic rich friend. Yeah the good old days.
i felt a little disappointed on how you didn't pointed out the relationship between the main couple in the Magic of Pegasus. They both have actual personalities and don't magically fall in love on first sight, they have a good relationship development
@@miticaBEP07 That exactly what I thought when I was a little girl watching this scene for the first time. I was so surprised that they would show gambling in a Barbie movie.
Fairytopia taught me a great lesson when the blue fairy said how she was saving all those seats for "the friends that she hasn't met yet" or at least that's the translation from Spanish. That line really stuck to me as I had no friends growing up but got to make some great friends in middle school who are currently going to be my bridesmaids in my wedding 🥰
Actually, Tchaikovsky was inspired to compose the ballet 'Swan Lake' after watching the film, 'Barbie of Swan Lake' (2003). Close friends of Tchaikovsky reported him saying it was, "one of the most emotionally thrilling and aesthetically divine" films he'd ever seen.
one of the things about the princess and the pauper that upon rewatching made me love the movie even more is that erika doesn't decide to marry dominick straight away, instead going on her own to pursue her dream to be a famous singer the best part to me is that dominick never put pressure on erika to not follow her passion, instead encouraging her and making it clear that he'll be there if she ever comes back, which she does after accomplishing her goal!! honestly, that's the best barbie couple to me
I love them so much as well! especially when Erika sings in the bathroom (such a good song too) and you can just see exactly the moment Dominick falls in love 🥺 my heart melts everytime
I know! My name is Erika and as a kid, I've always been mildly annoyed that I had the same name as the pauper and not the princess (because who doesn't want to be royalty as a kid?). When I rewatched it as a teenager though, I realized that it is such an honor to have the same name as Erika because she is a total queen! She's my favorite Barbie character!
I literally was in ballet for 10 years because of it 😂 everyone in ballet has their “ballet origin story” like seeing a ballet in person and mine was…Barbie in the Nutcracker
this is weird but i remember loving the sound of footsteps in these movies. they were just so ~crisp~ edit: i had no idea this was so universal omg??? i literally used to put on little heels and clomp around the house pretending i was in a castle lmfaooo
@@vivivalley Yes though I never understood what made Eric change his mind so fast. He loved her for her looks and than suddenly decided to love ALL of her when told it was wrong. That always bothered me ! :O
I actually got into the swan princess because I got the second movie on dvd. I think I still have it actually. And the music is so good in there even in the second movie there's a great song for oddette
The slander on Magic of Pegasus omgggg…It was the first original Barbie story that actually holds up for me (as whimsical and nostalgic Fairytopia is it’s so criminally boring). It was the first time Mattel had the balls to give Barbie a personality other than nice and meek and happy-go-lucky for the purpose of character development. Her angst directly leads to the main conflict when her whole kingdom freezes due to her refusing to listen to her parents. Notice that in every other movie before this, the Barbie protagonist is pushed into the conflict instead of instigating it (the plot happens to her, rather than her motivating the plot). Annika’s parents are justified in their helicopter-style of parenting because they weren’t able to protect their other daughter Brietta from being cursed. They believe that constant monitoring over their only remaining child will keep her out of harm’s way, which is definitely invasive to Annika, but reasonable in perspective. They may be unlikebale but it’s odd you don’t acknowledge why they act the way they do. It’s also not like they don’t allow her to go out - Annika is a minor and SHOULD at least ask her parents before going out. The teen angst in this movie is honestly so real; teens tend to think they are more mature than they actually are and begin to resent their authority figures who mean well but, to their eyes, restrict the freedoms they haven’t yet proved to fully deserve. It is established that Annika has a pattern of disobeying and sneaking out, so the conflict is of her own doing. Aidan is easily my favorite love interest because he is flawed, just like the main protagonist. Annika and Aidan learn to grow together through the lessons of hope and perseverance the journey teaches them. They also have to realize together what acting with a “true heart” really means; Aidan let’s go of the greed that led him to losing his family’s money and only takes what he needs to fix the problem he caused, and Annika is only able to harness the magic of the Wand of Light through the love of her family and kingdom, not the anger and resentment she held when she wanted to destroy Wenlock (I absolutely love that scene cause it’s the one moment a Barbie character flat out says she wants to kill someone lol). It also helps that Aidan is as spunky and sarcastic as Annika. They are meant for each other :3 No doubt that Wenlock is a HUGE creep and an accurate depiction of narcissism, but I honestly think it worked in the movie’s favor. It’s definitely a reach to say they are equal flaws, but Annika and Aidan’s issues were rooted in selfishness as well. Having the villain be the absolute height of egomania and self-importance helps us see better how much of an effort they are making to fix their wrongs out of pure selflessness. I also like that the villain is already a personal enemy to the family. I think it raises the stakes by establishing what he could do to further harm Annika, her family, and her kingdom. It’s also completely valid that you weren’t fond of the ice skating. If I’m correct it’s the only movie with ice-skating being a major skill that the Barbie protagonist specializes in, specifically within the dance-centric movies. Maybe many other kids preferred ballet? 🤷♀️ Also no argument can win in defense of Shiver. She’s an absolute abomination no matter how cute she is and should’ve been left in the cloud castle or something like what were they thinking bringing her??? I’m just rambling at this point but this movie is definitely one I learned to love rather than one I was nostalgic for or fond of as a kid. It’s an easy second best behind Princess and the Pauper, but really only because I love the music and songs from that movie. But though both hold equal footing for me regarding their aesthetic and story, interesting and successful character development is what really makes Pegasus stand out. It was the first good non-adaptation movie from this franchise, and I feel like it really holds up!
Absolutely agree I think it was the barbie movie I saw the most often as a kid and it was defintely my favorite I think the only reason MG doesn't get it is because she hasn't seen it as a kid so she can't connect to it as an adult because it's such a good movie, the story is not boring at all and the characters are so well developed Plus it's really the only barbie movie where the romantic relationship is not shallow and they actually flirt in a subtle way
anneliese's hardships may seem smaller compared to erica's who's been trying to repay her parents' debt, anneliese has a whole kingdom's stability on her shoulders. when faced with a dire problem where you know you are responsible for not only yourself but a whole group, the pressure can be suffocating.
that's so true - just because it isn't stated or obvious doesn't mean it isn't there - plus, apart from the kingdom, being forced to marry someone is so awful. Maybe they could have focused a little more on her struggles because I think they spent more time with Erika's struggles and that's why people usually like her more.
I thought the movie did a good job at putting equal weight and validation on each of the girl's hardships, especially in the song Free. Then there is Julian's to be a princess and as a kid altho i enjoyed that song i thought wow thats a lot of things to remember all the time 0x0 being a princess is hard.
Also interesting to note is that it is ERIKA who puts equal weight on their problems. Annelise is hesitant to share because she KNOWS her problems might seem meaningless to someone stuck in indentured servitude, and she doesn't allow herself to compare it in equal weight until Erika understands the pressures she must be feeling and basically tells her she has every right to feel trapped by those expectations.
Man, Princess and the Pauper, Diamond Castle, Magic of the Rainbow, Mermaid Tale, Barbie Dairies, Thumbelina, Fairy Secret, Perfect Christmas, and 12 Dancing Princesses was my stuff back in Elementary.
that was one of my favorites too, the feathers kinda ruin it but like other than that its so pretty especially the vibrant color, you really only saw barbie in pastel colors back then so the bright blue really stood out against the other barbie movie dresses
Looking back I thing it was this movie and the swan lake that made want to go to ballet classes but the 12 dancing princess it’s definitely my favorite and I regret every day of my life the fact that I quit ballet
Saaaammmmeeeee. That was easily my favorite barbie movie of all time back when i was into barbie! I have a dvd copy of 'the 12 dancing princesses' at home so i could watch it anytime i wanted and i loved it ^^
You’re definitely are apart of the older generation of Barbie stans and your love of nutcracker gives you away. I will forgive the hate in Island Princess and Diamond Castle because of it.
I agree, I was a mid-generation barbie stan in that I was 3 when nutcracker came out. Diamond castle was probably in the top three best barbie movies for me personally lol. I think Princess Charm school was the last barbie movie I liked mostly because it was one of the first ones I got to watch with my younger sister.
@@weliveinasociety4629 Same! I distinctly remember my sister and I acting as the characters so we could sing the songs together 😭😭 A ton of good memories come from this movie
I watched all generations at the same time not to long ago and yeah diamond castle is my favourite tho I do think the new ones get too much hate for the art style
Basically my life 😂😂 My daughters name is Annelieze and mines Erika.. and she’s def the princess and I the servant 😂😂 I didn’t name her after the character.. when we found the movie it was so fun to have the characters have our names.. shes 13 now and still has her dvd 😅
Ro plz accept these do you think theyll do~~~~~ azul your gift make this a dream come truuuuu!!! Now ull take their breath away! I can see ull be the jewel of them all Last of all a rose bouquet! Youre gonna hve a great time at Im gonna have a great time at Your gonna have a great time at the ball!!!!
while the 2000s barbie movies remain superior to the current movies, I would argue that the quality barbie content isn't in movies anymore but in their online presence like barbie: life in the dreamhouse or the barbie vlogs. it's just interesting to see the shift in medium between generations
Also I’d like to point out that the “bloopers” added to the end of Princess and the pauper were absolutely hilarious which adds even more points to it in my book 😌
I love the bloopers, it reminds me that Barbie has acted in all these movies which I think is a really cool detail. But also when it comes to Fairy Secret or Fashion Fairytale it gets confusing. Like you want me to believe fairies exist even in Barbie’s REAL LIFE?!?! Ok.
Barbie Princess Charm school is not scary. It's just how animation is these days and I love it. It's good that Barbie has finally evolved and taken on new life forces with different names and producers referencing her whenever creating a cute movie.
Haha I used to rewatch Charm School a lot during my childhood even though I hated Barbie, if it’s the one I think you’re talking about. I didn’t really like the plot- she’s the generic poor girl chosen for the school and she’s actually adopted, her birth mother is the late queen who was killed by her evil sister. Idk why but I watched it anyway-
imminent death is a way to keep the stakes high and poison is a non violent or gorey to make that happen, so it makes sense for it to be The murder weapon in a kids movie franchise
i agree with almost everything but the scene in Rapunzel where she is changing dresses was EVERYTHING to me, the music is just so magical and the animation was incredible to me at that time
The biggest thing I remember from the fairytopia series, is being super salty about the fact that Elina never got a new hairstyle with her magical transformations 😂
I remember waiting during all the movies for the moment when she is going to release her hair and look like how she did on the CD/DVD cover... and I waited..until the very end of the movie....... to be disappointed;-;
My biggest problem with Fairytopia was when she got wings and it was meant to be this big magical moment and she got these basic-ass plain pink wings. 😑
Ofcourse! No one should feel ashamed. I don't see them now tho (don't get much time) but it is really miraculous. The funny thing is that I like both bloody stories and princess ones (^_^)
princess and the pauper has everything: fashion, bops, well-rounded love lines, a hilarious antagonist, and the cutest sidekicks!! anneliese was my fave bc she was the barbie that repped the science kids, and come on julian being so obviously in love with her and missing her when she was kidnapped? peak romance
little known fact: preminger was voiced by the iconic martin short and that’s probably why he’s the best barbie villain to ever grace direct to video dvds
Me and my aunt (we're the same age) used to argue about whether the princess or the pauper had a better singing voice. One day we figured out from the credits that the same singer did the songs for both characters. We got real quiet, shrugging our shoulders and pretending we didn't feel stupid
I looked up the cast and it says they were both voiced by Kelly Sheridan, but Melissa Lyons did the singing for Anneliese and Julie Stevens was the singer for Erika
@@KisaragiTheKing yep! Considering they had to sound similar to Kelly’s voice they do sound pretty close to be mistaken for one person - just Annalise doing more of the high notes. Reading the credits crushed me that they weren’t voiced by Barbie herself lol
Enjinks I just checked and for both the original and French versions : there are indeed 2 singers, but only one (normal) voice actress for both characters
My favorite barbie movie was "The Magic of Pegasus" It was pretty different from the average princess story and especially the love interest. I also remember having a crush on Wenlock for his heterochromia. I also had a pc game of the movie. I would always spend hours on that game.
Why is no one talking about how GOD TIER the soundtrack from Island Princess was? Like "I Need to Know" and the Lullaby song are literally two of the most memorable Barbie songs I've ever heard. Even the mice song was striking! 😆💕 Seriously love the soundtrack of that movie. The music is right up there along with Diamond Castle and TPATP for me!
Here in Brazil, we love so much Barbie as Rapunzel 'cause the translation for our language is so iconic and Otto turns to be comic relief with so much catchphrases and i risk to say its better than the original language version.
He did Stefan, Daniel, Dominick, Aidan, and Louis. Alessandro Juliani did Julian, Nalu, Antonio, and Carlos. Shawn McDonald did Derek. Jermey Form did Jeremy and Noel Johansen did Ian. Andrew Francis was Linden. Kirby Morrow (rip) was prince Eric. I really wish Mark Hildreth was used more or unless something happened between Nutcracker and Rapunzel that Kirby Morrow would’ve continued to do the male roles
Hehe, when I learned Kelly Sheridan was the voice of Starlight Glimmer in Gen 4 of My Little Pony (she started out as a villain but then became good and my fav char in the franchise), I was like, "OMG Barbie joined MLP!" Lol.
im a visual person so i never watched it and never will, though ive heard it is just a spin on mean girls with the burn book and all so i guess i could watch rachel mcadams instead (not complaining tho)
In some of the Barbie movies the love interest and romance plot is important but in some movies it so unnecessary and not needed. For example, Barbie Princess Charm School. The love story was completely pointless and useless. Other movies such as, Princess and the Pauper & Barbie Diaries have romance plots that are actually important to the main story. I hate when movies have unnecessary love stories 😒🙄.
The twelve dancing princesses is a bittersweet movie for my sister. She wanted as kid to dance ballet, but never got the chance because of economical situacion. To this day, she cries watching that movie. It became a painful memory of her childhood...
no one talks enough about how sapphic barbie and the diamond castle was. like,,,, liana and alexa were literally cottagegore lesbians who tended to their garden and sang each other songs all day long!! the wlw rep we deserve. and they were roommates.
So two friends cant live together and own a flower shop? Im not against LGBT but Im pretty sure 2 people of the same sex can live together but not have sexual interest towards each other UwU
@@elizack_8189 Sure, women can live together without being lesbians - that's your interpretation of it. But if you have knowledge of historical lesbian relationships, they were often living together and never married men, but historians claimed "they were just friends." Combined with the recent popularity of the cottagecore aesthetic (i.e. living in the countryside, away from society), this is why people from the LGBTQ+ community might see this as a lesbian relationship. Hope that clears things up for you
I know everyone puts princess and the pauper as their number one but to me magic of Pegasus is the goat. It is the sassiest Barbie movie with Barbie having a lot more of a personality and Adin being of the most developed love interests. Plus the movie was just fun as hell.
I always thought that the people native to the Mariposa kingdom had kinda Hispanic accents because Mariposa is literally Spanish for butterfly (besides the character herself and her periwinkle colored friend bc idk, well known voice actors?)
Yeah and the island one has lots of Indian animals (+one Asian) 🤔😅 though I haven't seen it so idk if there's anything else. Except they also use peacock feathers with dress, but that was an obvious thing imo they probs didn't mean that one
The Micarah Tewers comment made me excited to see her in such a dress too! And the video was... almost an hour? I didn’t feel it! My ADHD brain was pleased enough to allow me to watch it without getting bored
Same! I usually can’t watch videos longer than 20-something minutes in one sitting, I always have to either watch it while doing something else or constantly enter and exit it, but I managed to watch this all at once
Aiden kind of reminds me of The Prodigal Son, the father gave him riches, he set out, he lost it all, was afraid to return to his father and when he did his father embraced him stating he still loved him and all was good. Obviously some differences from the Biblical story vs. the Barbie version, but I can still see it
Princess and the Pauper is straight-up Broadway calibre. Its plot and songs are so highly developed for a children's movie. I can't believe a company known only for making dolls managed to write a song like 'How Could I Refuse'.
I think the reason why The Barbie Diaries has such a bad animation is because all the budget for that year's Barbie movies went to The Magic of Pegasus. It was the first time they made a 3D movie So they were extra careful with the animation and movements. The DVD even came with 5 pairs of 3D glasses. Regardless, two classica which I adore just like the other ones. ✨✨✨❤️💚💙💖💜💓💕✨✨✨
i believe barbie and the magic of pegasus needs to be recognized for the endearing enemies to lovers trope ! it was so entertaining and fun to see aidan and princess annika go from exchanging sassy and sarcastic lines to looking out for one another and falling in love with each other’s perseverance and determination, and at the end becoming a couple. shiver always did cause some trouble but i can admit he’s so adorable!
Barbie And The Diamond Castle was such a huge thing in my life. It was the theme of many of my birthday parties! I like the ones that were about Barbie and some brunette friend because I have a twin sister who doesn't look like me at all, I'm blonde so I would be Barbie and she has brown hair so she would be the friend and we would always see ourselves in the movies. Such a fun time
@@nandinishah1709 everytime after seeing diamond castle (and rewatching it everyday like 5 times in a row for probably over a year) I named like all my dog stuffed animals after sparkles
Mermaidia was my whole childhood. And don't even get me started on Bibble...such an icon! And the intense scenes with the underwater volcanos and the evil algae. This movie. Everything. But I also totally get why Princess and the Pauper is at first place. Just Mermaidia holds a special place in my heart :)
I was so shocked when you said you hated Barbie's peacock dress, and no comment on Luciana's character? She was my favorite in the Island Princess because of her love of books and her kind nature. Love the video though! And yes, Barbie Princess and The Pauper will forever remain superior ❤️
True!! I honestly think Barbie looks great in that color scheme. Aesthetic-wise, I think the peacock dress (perhaps minus the stiff feathers?) and the swan lake ballet dress were the best!
12 Dancing Princesses will always be my favorite. A large part of this is nostalgia and the fact that I had never seen anyone else with my name before watching the movie.
This ranking hurt my soul my entire childhood was Barbie and the three musketeers, island princess, the twelve dancing princesses, and diamond castle they were my FAVS
barbie: a christmas carol is amazing!! I watched it for the first time recently and I became obsessed. It's severely underrated when people compare barbie movies
Barbie:a Christmas Carol absolutely TRAUMATISED ME I thought it was so awful and dark when I watched it. I think it was a massive shock to see normal, boring, flawed Victorian people after all the films up until that point being full of bright colours and happy magical animals etc. I'm blaming it for my unnecessary and sometimes inexplicable hatred for any and all Christmas Carol adaptations lol 🤣
I was 8 or 9 when the Christmas carol came out and I loved it as a kid it’s definitely in my top few Barbie movies. Even as I kid I found it so refreshing that the main character wasn’t all perfect pure and she grew throughout the story
I agree 99.99% with this ranking, but Barbie as the island princess deserved a little bit more credit, definitely one of my favorite soundtracks and loved the peacock dress 🤷🏻♀️👏🏻

About the size of the fairies, I for whatever reason thought they just lived in giant flowers? Like they lived in flowers the size of houses or something. I guess I never noticed they could actually be really small.
me too, because the mermaids are the same size as the fairies and the dolls were the same size as regular human barbie dolls of the time, also there's fairies that are smaller than elina/azura/etc
The sad thing about Annalise was actually that she had no dream at all. Erika was on the road to freedom, but Annalise had no hope. She knew and accepted that and carried on without complaint. That’s what makes her my favorite character ❤
@@Avi.joyyy12 girl mine too, Derek has been my favorite name for like 6-7 years after I saw the movie and I named every single male sim that I made Derick and made them look like him lol. And I also considered him to be my type and had a crush on all the guys that looked like him 🤧The impact that this movie had on me lmao.
I actually liked the villain in Pegasus, cause I was dealing with those kind of guys early on and it was hella satisfying to see him get his comeuppance.
I find it weird that one of her criticisms was that she hated the villain. Aren't we supposed to? I hate his sorry ass but it makes the whole thing so much better because we're meant to hate him anyway. They really did a great job with making him despicable and it makes his comeuppance all the more satisfying.
The weirdest thing is that when I look back to watching these movies for the first time the animation doesn't seem bad at all, all I remember is the magical worlds, beautiful dresses, the music, the ballet performances and of coarse the desperation to BE the protagonists of the movies.
Cuz the story actually pretty decent
Also, the animation was actually pretty good for its time. It looks awkward and plastic-y now, but it was a solid B tier in the mid 2000s.

Exactly 🥺🥺🥺
Definitely my all time favourite
The villain being such a creep was a good thing to me. They're supposed to be terrible and to make you root for their downfall. He was the only Barbie vilain to actually creep me out as a child.
😭
The Magic of Pegasus, the 12 Dancing Princesses, Fairytopia: Mermaidia, Swan Lake. They don't make them like this anymore 😭😭😭😭
It's the nostalgia
Idk I liked Barbie a mermaid tail, Barbie a fashion fairy tail, Barbie a fairy secret, Barbie as the island princess mermaid thing, Barbie and the diamond castle, and Barbie pearl princess or whatever, and Barbie and the three musketeers. Oh Barbie and the pink shoes was okay even though she was king of annoying especially in Barbie princess charm school. Either way I liked em. OMG I forgot that Barbie movie but the one with the small fairies and she had fake wings and there was the rich kid and her toxic rich friend. Yeah the good old days.

i felt a little disappointed on how you didn't pointed out the relationship between the main couple in the Magic of Pegasus. They both have actual personalities and don't magically fall in love on first sight, they have a good relationship development
They also have the best banter that gets us to actually root for them
YESS THATS EXACTLY WHAT I FELT
The best relationship was Barbie and the Nutcracker.
She didn't cared about his appearance and still felt in love with him.
The fact that they actually put gambling in a Barbie movie still perplexed me.
@@miticaBEP07
That exactly what I thought when I was a little girl watching this scene for the first time.
I was so surprised that they would show gambling in a Barbie movie.
Fairytopia taught me a great lesson when the blue fairy said how she was saving all those seats for "the friends that she hasn't met yet" or at least that's the translation from Spanish. That line really stuck to me as I had no friends growing up but got to make some great friends in middle school who are currently going to be my bridesmaids in my wedding 🥰

Actually, Tchaikovsky was inspired to compose the ballet 'Swan Lake' after watching the film, 'Barbie of Swan Lake' (2003). Close friends of Tchaikovsky reported him saying it was, "one of the most emotionally thrilling and aesthetically divine" films he'd ever seen.

IMAO
one of the things about the princess and the pauper that upon rewatching made me love the movie even more is that erika doesn't decide to marry dominick straight away, instead going on her own to pursue her dream to be a famous singer
the best part to me is that dominick never put pressure on erika to not follow her passion, instead encouraging her and making it clear that he'll be there if she ever comes back, which she does after accomplishing her goal!! honestly, that's the best barbie couple to me
and the songs are fitting as well!
I love them so much as well! especially when Erika sings in the bathroom (such a good song too) and you can just see exactly the moment Dominick falls in love 🥺 my heart melts everytime
Erika is by far my favorite Barbie character. Her love interest and story line are perfect
I know! My name is Erika and as a kid, I've always been mildly annoyed that I had the same name as the pauper and not the princess (because who doesn't want to be royalty as a kid?). When I rewatched it as a teenager though, I realized that it is such an honor to have the same name as Erika because she is a total queen! She's my favorite Barbie character!
Yes! They were my favorite couple
I wanted to be a ballerina so badly because of the Barbie films 😭
I literally was in ballet for 10 years because of it 😂 everyone in ballet has their “ballet origin story” like seeing a ballet in person and mine was…Barbie in the Nutcracker
As did my sister.
Omg saaaammee
Me too!
Ikr
this is weird but i remember loving the sound of footsteps in these movies. they were just so ~crisp~
edit: i had no idea this was so universal omg??? i literally used to put on little heels and clomp around the house pretending i was in a castle lmfaooo
I thought I was the only one. The footsteps you hear from Gothel sound sooooooo good.
I’m dead. I was sooo obsessed with gothels footsteps. I remember making up the word “muckity” in order to describe how it sounded.
Me too!! Pretty sure i developed a short phase of heel obsessed cuz i wanted to make those step sounds 🤣

*You should write a book. “How To Offend Women in Five Syllables or Less.”* OH MY GOD THAT KILLED ME
the rest of the Swan Lake movie is just like that, witty dialogue and entertaining characters/character development. i definitely recommend it!
Same !
@@vivivalley Yes though I never understood what made Eric change his mind so fast. He loved her for her looks and than suddenly decided to love ALL of her when told it was wrong. That always bothered me ! :O

I actually got into the swan princess because I got the second movie on dvd. I think I still have it actually. And the music is so good in there even in the second movie there's a great song for oddette
i'm so sorry if your favorite barbie movie was ranked low, don't hate me please!!! 🥺😭
Very off topic. Could you do a video on today’s popular aesthetics and the origins?
I forgive you... I am surprised that you ranked barbie and the 12 dancing princesses! 🩰🩰🩰
My favorites were Barbie Mariposa and Princess and the Pauper so I'm pretty happy with your rankings. 😀
Why would we hate you?
omg don’t worry queen my favs were all ranked low but I recognize that nostalgia clouds my judgement lol
The slander on Magic of Pegasus omgggg…It was the first original Barbie story that actually holds up for me (as whimsical and nostalgic Fairytopia is it’s so criminally boring). It was the first time Mattel had the balls to give Barbie a personality other than nice and meek and happy-go-lucky for the purpose of character development. Her angst directly leads to the main conflict when her whole kingdom freezes due to her refusing to listen to her parents. Notice that in every other movie before this, the Barbie protagonist is pushed into the conflict instead of instigating it (the plot happens to her, rather than her motivating the plot).
Annika’s parents are justified in their helicopter-style of parenting because they weren’t able to protect their other daughter Brietta from being cursed. They believe that constant monitoring over their only remaining child will keep her out of harm’s way, which is definitely invasive to Annika, but reasonable in perspective. They may be unlikebale but it’s odd you don’t acknowledge why they act the way they do. It’s also not like they don’t allow her to go out - Annika is a minor and SHOULD at least ask her parents before going out. The teen angst in this movie is honestly so real; teens tend to think they are more mature than they actually are and begin to resent their authority figures who mean well but, to their eyes, restrict the freedoms they haven’t yet proved to fully deserve. It is established that Annika has a pattern of disobeying and sneaking out, so the conflict is of her own doing.
Aidan is easily my favorite love interest because he is flawed, just like the main protagonist. Annika and Aidan learn to grow together through the lessons of hope and perseverance the journey teaches them. They also have to realize together what acting with a “true heart” really means; Aidan let’s go of the greed that led him to losing his family’s money and only takes what he needs to fix the problem he caused, and Annika is only able to harness the magic of the Wand of Light through the love of her family and kingdom, not the anger and resentment she held when she wanted to destroy Wenlock (I absolutely love that scene cause it’s the one moment a Barbie character flat out says she wants to kill someone lol). It also helps that Aidan is as spunky and sarcastic as Annika. They are meant for each other :3
No doubt that Wenlock is a HUGE creep and an accurate depiction of narcissism, but I honestly think it worked in the movie’s favor. It’s definitely a reach to say they are equal flaws, but Annika and Aidan’s issues were rooted in selfishness as well. Having the villain be the absolute height of egomania and self-importance helps us see better how much of an effort they are making to fix their wrongs out of pure selflessness. I also like that the villain is already a personal enemy to the family. I think it raises the stakes by establishing what he could do to further harm Annika, her family, and her kingdom.
It’s also completely valid that you weren’t fond of the ice skating. If I’m correct it’s the only movie with ice-skating being a major skill that the Barbie protagonist specializes in, specifically within the dance-centric movies. Maybe many other kids preferred ballet? 🤷♀️
Also no argument can win in defense of Shiver. She’s an absolute abomination no matter how cute she is and should’ve been left in the cloud castle or something like what were they thinking bringing her???
I’m just rambling at this point but this movie is definitely one I learned to love rather than one I was nostalgic for or fond of as a kid. It’s an easy second best behind Princess and the Pauper, but really only because I love the music and songs from that movie. But though both hold equal footing for me regarding their aesthetic and story, interesting and successful character development is what really makes Pegasus stand out. It was the first good non-adaptation movie from this franchise, and I feel like it really holds up!
Yes!!! I love that Annika is held accountable for her actions and she takes responsibility by saving her family and her people.
yes yes and yes!! especially about annika’s parents and the story of brietta. justice for magic of pegasus!!
Absolutely agree
I think it was the barbie movie I saw the most often as a kid and it was defintely my favorite
I think the only reason MG doesn't get it is because she hasn't seen it as a kid so she can't connect to it as an adult because it's such a good movie, the story is not boring at all and the characters are so well developed
Plus it's really the only barbie movie where the romantic relationship is not shallow and they actually flirt in a subtle way
Sis, you wrote a thesis on everything I felt ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I wholeheartedly agree with every single word you said!! The Magic of Pegasus is easily in my top 3 Barbie movies of all time! 🤍
anneliese's hardships may seem smaller compared to erica's who's been trying to repay her parents' debt, anneliese has a whole kingdom's stability on her shoulders. when faced with a dire problem where you know you are responsible for not only yourself but a whole group, the pressure can be suffocating.
that's so true - just because it isn't stated or obvious doesn't mean it isn't there - plus, apart from the kingdom, being forced to marry someone is so awful. Maybe they could have focused a little more on her struggles because I think they spent more time with Erika's struggles and that's why people usually like her more.
I agree! Just because it doesn't translate into modern times doesn't mean it's not a real issue.
I thought the movie did a good job at putting equal weight and validation on each of the girl's hardships, especially in the song Free. Then there is Julian's to be a princess and as a kid altho i enjoyed that song i thought wow thats a lot of things to remember all the time 0x0 being a princess is hard.
Also interesting to note is that it is ERIKA who puts equal weight on their problems. Annelise is hesitant to share because she KNOWS her problems might seem meaningless to someone stuck in indentured servitude, and she doesn't allow herself to compare it in equal weight until Erika understands the pressures she must be feeling and basically tells her she has every right to feel trapped by those expectations.
Couldn’t agree more. Her criticism isn’t very good tbh, I don’t even know why shes even competing the two. They are both great in their own ways
Man, Princess and the Pauper, Diamond Castle, Magic of the Rainbow, Mermaid Tale, Barbie Dairies, Thumbelina, Fairy Secret, Perfect Christmas, and 12 Dancing Princesses was my stuff back in Elementary.
Mine, too! I miss them sometimes comparing to what is shown nowadays...
Basically my childhood
Duuuuude you literally named my life 😅🥲
fairy secret omg i must watch it now thanks
yess this is me
"I also hate the Peacock Dress"
That was my favorite dress tho and was very creative and colorful
that was one of my favorites too, the feathers kinda ruin it but like other than that its so pretty especially the vibrant color, you really only saw barbie in pastel colors back then so the bright blue really stood out against the other barbie movie dresses
Agreed, that was one of the dresses that wasn't completely pink etc. and I rly enjoyed the little details
i liked how it still looked islandy even tho it was formal and how azul gave the feathers

YES
Looking back I thing it was this movie and the swan lake that made want to go to ballet classes but the 12 dancing princess it’s definitely my favorite and I regret every day of my life the fact that I quit ballet
YES this movie was everything to me
I agree and the soundtrack is great
Saaaammmmeeeee. That was easily my favorite barbie movie of all time back when i was into barbie! I have a dvd copy of 'the 12 dancing princesses' at home so i could watch it anytime i wanted and i loved it ^^
You’re definitely are apart of the older generation of Barbie stans and your love of nutcracker gives you away. I will forgive the hate in Island Princess and Diamond Castle because of it.
I agree, I was a mid-generation barbie stan in that I was 3 when nutcracker came out. Diamond castle was probably in the top three best barbie movies for me personally lol. I think Princess Charm school was the last barbie movie I liked mostly because it was one of the first ones I got to watch with my younger sister.
Barbie in the nutcracker 🥲💕
@@weliveinasociety4629 Same! I distinctly remember my sister and I acting as the characters so we could sing the songs together 😭😭 A ton of good memories come from this movie
I watched all generations at the same time not to long ago and yeah diamond castle is my favourite tho I do think the new ones get too much hate for the art style
The Island Princess and Diamond Castle was iconic it was my favorite and so pretty I bought the book too
Erika: is in a state of indentured servitude that borders on slavery

Peacock dress was honestly so gorgeous 😭😭
while the 2000s barbie movies remain superior to the current movies, I would argue that the quality barbie content isn't in movies anymore but in their online presence like barbie: life in the dreamhouse or the barbie vlogs. it's just interesting to see the shift in medium between generations
barbie: life in the dreamhouse is seriously underrated
@@ruthfolorunso8715 DEFINITELY. It’s hilarious
The barbie vlogs are so good
Honestly I HATE Barbie in Barbie in the dream house. Actually I hate everyone in there. I only liked Raquel and Ryan.
the vlogs also changed the art style and its kind of offputting. i think they made it too uncanny valley, i liked when it wasnt as fluid /:
Also I’d like to point out that the “bloopers” added to the end of Princess and the pauper were absolutely hilarious which adds even more points to it in my book 😌
Julian's dancing gives me life.
I love the bloopers, it reminds me that Barbie has acted in all these movies which I think is a really cool detail. But also when it comes to Fairy Secret or Fashion Fairytale it gets confusing. Like you want me to believe fairies exist even in Barbie’s REAL LIFE?!?!
Ok.

I love how it’s pretty much universally accepted that Princess and the Pauper reigns supreme. No Barbie movie will ever top it.
Has the best songs, story, and villain. Nothing compares.
I think it is a good movie but no no 1 bcz there are so many movies which have more interesting plots
that is me for barbie princess charm school. that movie has a special place in my heart and i could watch it on repeat and never get bored
@ava nickle Same!! Like...classism and a murder plot in a Barbie movie??
diamond castle and Fairytopia: Mermaidia are my favs bc I grew up with them
Have rewatched Charm School way too many times, but Swan lake (Edit: And the Island one) are severely underrated.
Honestly i feel u. I think it has the best doll... Yes i am biased bc its the doll frm the movies i had but looking back now?
Haha I used to rewatch Charm School a lot during my childhood even though I hated Barbie, if it’s the one I think you’re talking about. I didn’t really like the plot- she’s the generic poor girl chosen for the school and she’s actually adopted, her birth mother is the late queen who was killed by her evil sister. Idk why but I watched it anyway-
I'm into the ballet movies so Swan lake, the 12 ballarinas and nutcracker are my favs
@@Lemural it's very generic but it's still one of my favourite barbie movies because I was a big fan of magical boarding school when I was a kid.

wow this made me realize the amount of poison used in barbie movies
imminent death is a way to keep the stakes high and poison is a non violent or gorey to make that happen, so it makes sense for it to be The murder weapon in a kids movie franchise

Poison is a common and more classy way of offing someone and seems more PG in kids movies so

@Eternal Snow yeah I didn't want to admit it but I saw it today and cried hahaha, my entire childhood came back to me
That scene gives me chills ALL THE TIME. Another one is in twelve dancing princesses where Genevive dances on the stones.
@Eternal Snow the classical story/fairytale based movies seriously has the best soundtrack/scores
Preminger is the best Barbie Villain. He wears the crown, as he should.
Yes 😌
He's my favorite character in the movie and his henchmen come at a close second.
How could he refuse? Lol
The biggest thing I remember from the fairytopia series, is being super salty about the fact that Elina never got a new hairstyle with her magical transformations 😂
She really needed one too OOp-
Ikr, her hair style in the doll versions/DVD covers snaps
I remember waiting during all the movies for the moment when she is going to release her hair and look like how she did on the CD/DVD cover... and I waited..until the very end of the movie....... to be disappointed;-;
My biggest problem with Fairytopia was when she got wings and it was meant to be this big magical moment and she got these basic-ass plain pink wings. 😑
Me too! she looked pretty with the low bun but I wanted to see her wear something else
I still watch them sometimes and I’m not ashamed they give you that heartwarming feeling
Ofcourse!
No one should feel ashamed. I don't see them now tho (don't get much time) but it is really miraculous. The funny thing is that I like both bloody stories and princess ones (^_^)

Me and my aunt (we're the same age) used to argue about whether the princess or the pauper had a better singing voice. One day we figured out from the credits that the same singer did the songs for both characters. We got real quiet, shrugging our shoulders and pretending we didn't feel stupid
what ? xDDDD In french they are 2 differents singers... I think ? O_O
The singer is WHAT
I looked up the cast and it says they were both voiced by Kelly Sheridan, but Melissa Lyons did the singing for Anneliese and Julie Stevens was the singer for Erika
@@KisaragiTheKing yep! Considering they had to sound similar to Kelly’s voice they do sound pretty close to be mistaken for one person - just Annalise doing more of the high notes. Reading the credits crushed me that they weren’t voiced by Barbie herself lol

Here in Brazil, we love so much Barbie as Rapunzel 'cause the translation for our language is so iconic and Otto turns to be comic relief with so much catchphrases and i risk to say its better than the original language version.
Let's all thank Kelly Sheridan for playing the iconic role of Barbie.
He did Stefan, Daniel, Dominick, Aidan, and Louis. Alessandro Juliani did Julian, Nalu, Antonio, and Carlos. Shawn McDonald did Derek. Jermey Form did Jeremy and Noel Johansen did Ian. Andrew Francis was Linden. Kirby Morrow (rip) was prince Eric. I really wish Mark Hildreth was used more or unless something happened between Nutcracker and Rapunzel that Kirby Morrow would’ve continued to do the male roles
I loved the voice of Barbie in the first Mariposa movie as well.
Best voice actor goes to
Hehe, when I learned Kelly Sheridan was the voice of Starlight Glimmer in Gen 4 of My Little Pony (she started out as a villain but then became good and my fav char in the franchise), I was like, "OMG Barbie joined MLP!" Lol.

In some of the Barbie movies the love interest and romance plot is important but in some movies it so unnecessary and not needed. For example, Barbie Princess Charm School. The love story was completely pointless and useless. Other movies such as, Princess and the Pauper & Barbie Diaries have romance plots that are actually important to the main story.

@@elizack_8189 Sure, women can live together without being lesbians - that's your interpretation of it. But if you have knowledge of historical lesbian relationships, they were often living together and never married men, but historians claimed "they were just friends." Combined with the recent popularity of the cottagecore aesthetic (i.e. living in the countryside, away from society), this is why people from the LGBTQ+ community might see this as a lesbian relationship. Hope that clears things up for you
Dani and Jamie watched that film -even if they lived 20 years before it’s release- and said girl same. You can’t convince me otherwise
I know everyone puts princess and the pauper as their number one but to me magic of Pegasus is the goat. It is the sassiest Barbie movie with Barbie having a lot more of a personality and Adin being of the most developed love interests. Plus the movie was just fun as hell.

Is that Norman and Emma?
YES OMG
Diamond Castle is okay, great aesthetic, good songs but the plot is just pale.
Yes ngl i was kinda disappointed when she ranked diamond castle so low...like it's my baby dont be even slightly harsh on it😁😂
I always thought that the people native to the Mariposa kingdom had kinda Hispanic accents because Mariposa is literally Spanish for butterfly (besides the character herself and her periwinkle colored friend bc idk, well known voice actors?)
Rayna, Rayla, Prince Carlos, and Queen Marabella had those accents for sure.
True
Yeah and the island one has lots of Indian animals (+one Asian) 🤔😅 though I haven't seen it so idk if there's anything else. Except they also use peacock feathers with dress, but that was an obvious thing imo they probs didn't mean that one
Yeah, the only reason Mariposa doesn't have an accent is because it's Barbie as Mariposa. She needs to keep her signature traits.
@@Corgipon Even those names sound Hispanic!
The Micarah Tewers comment made me excited to see her in such a dress too! And the video was... almost an hour? I didn’t feel it! My ADHD brain was pleased enough to allow me to watch it without getting bored
I had to put it on 1.75x speed to even begin to tackle it 😩
But I definitely want Micarah Tewers to make the dress! I hope she sees
Same! I usually can’t watch videos longer than 20-something minutes in one sitting, I always have to either watch it while doing something else or constantly enter and exit it, but I managed to watch this all at once
Aiden kind of reminds me of The Prodigal Son, the father gave him riches, he set out, he lost it all, was afraid to return to his father and when he did his father embraced him stating he still loved him and all was good. Obviously some differences from the Biblical story vs. the Barbie version, but I can still see it
Yeah. Heading back home after squandering the movie
i didn't knew i needed a 50 minute video about barbie movies until now
Princess and the Pauper is straight-up Broadway calibre. Its plot and songs are so highly developed for a children's movie. I can't believe a company known only for making dolls managed to write a song like 'How Could I Refuse'.
if it got turned into a broadway musical I WOULD WATCH THAT
I think the reason why The Barbie Diaries has such a bad animation is because all the budget for that year's Barbie movies went to The Magic of Pegasus. It was the first time they made a 3D movie So they were extra careful with the animation and movements. The DVD even came with 5 pairs of 3D glasses. Regardless, two classica which I adore just like the other ones. ✨✨✨❤️💚💙💖💜💓💕✨✨✨
Ooo I never thought of that - but it makes a lot of sense!
Oh right I forgot it had 3D scenes ! Now I remember there were paper glasses with the DVD hahahaha
i believe barbie and the magic of pegasus needs to be recognized for the endearing enemies to lovers trope ! it was so entertaining and fun to see aidan and princess annika go from exchanging sassy and sarcastic lines to looking out for one another and falling in love with each other’s perseverance and determination, and at the end becoming a couple.
shiver always did cause some trouble but i can admit he’s so adorable!
Barbie And The Diamond Castle was such a huge thing in my life. It was the theme of many of my birthday parties! I like the ones that were about Barbie and some brunette friend because I have a twin sister who doesn't look like me at all, I'm blonde so I would be Barbie and she has brown hair so she would be the friend and we would always see ourselves in the movies. Such a fun time
Me and my sister did that too but we are not twins 😭😭😂😂 she’s 3 years younger and white but we always did things like this w Barbie.
That's my favourite Barbie movie and I named a stuffed dog I got Sparkles after Liana's puppy
@@nandinishah1709 everytime after seeing diamond castle (and rewatching it everyday like 5 times in a row for probably over a year) I named like all my dog stuffed animals after sparkles
The Diamond Castle isn't my number 1 but I really enjoy your story! Just like you said, it's like seeing yourselves (with your twins) in the movie :D
Barbie and the dimond castle was my favorite one in this vid I would always rewatch it
Mermaidia was my whole childhood. And don't even get me started on Bibble...such an icon! And the intense scenes with the underwater volcanos and the evil algae. This movie. Everything. But I also totally get why Princess and the Pauper is at first place. Just Mermaidia holds a special place in my heart :)
Honestly fr
YESSSS I LOVE THE WHOLE FAIRYTOPIA TRILLOGY
@@starduststudios5671 shut up
@@starduststudios5671 please stop
god I just want to eat all the food in mermaidia
I was so shocked when you said you hated Barbie's peacock dress, and no comment on Luciana's character? She was my favorite in the Island Princess because of her love of books and her kind nature. Love the video though! And yes, Barbie Princess and The Pauper will forever remain superior ❤️
I'm obsessed with that dress till today. I've drawn it like a million times
True!! I honestly think Barbie looks great in that color scheme. Aesthetic-wise, I think the peacock dress (perhaps minus the stiff feathers?) and the swan lake ballet dress were the best!
I really want to remake a a slightly more mature version of it
Yes luciana is one of the best character ever
I used to be obsessed with that dress! I wore it to my fifth birthday party lmao
12 Dancing Princesses will always be my favorite. A large part of this is nostalgia and the fact that I had never seen anyone else with my name before watching the movie.
This ranking hurt my soul my entire childhood was Barbie and the three musketeers, island princess, the twelve dancing princesses, and diamond castle they were my FAVS
Literally me. Those were THE movies for me.
Girl same omg
Island Princess was a jam.
I watched the three musketeers on me and my sisters leap frog over and over again
barbie in the nutcracker will ALWAYS be my fave 💗 i have so many good memories watching it as a kid :') plus the songs were bomb
barbie: a christmas carol is amazing!! I watched it for the first time recently and I became obsessed. It's severely underrated when people compare barbie movies
Barbie:a Christmas Carol absolutely TRAUMATISED ME I thought it was so awful and dark when I watched it. I think it was a massive shock to see normal, boring, flawed Victorian people after all the films up until that point being full of bright colours and happy magical animals etc. I'm blaming it for my unnecessary and sometimes inexplicable hatred for any and all Christmas Carol adaptations lol 🤣
It’s the most historically accurate Barbie movie out there.
I’m so happy that you put Barbie: A Christmas Carol so high because even at my grown age I still watch it every year lmao
Barbie and the Diamond Castle is such a nostalgic memory.
It's top 5 in my opinion. Even without nostalgia
Im blindfolded on this carriage ride that they call life
Keep trying to make it thru that next turn knuckles white and holding tight~~
When you were raised on both generations of Barbie movies
Same
Elite people you mean
@@annelarouche3536 yes I do mean that
Yeah, I remember having all the movies and watched them over one to many times. 🤣
Wha- how old are y’all 😭😭
Don’t even get me started on Barbie as the island princess so many memories back in the day😭😍❤️
Sameeee😭 but tbh I was more in love with Luciana
I was 8 or 9 when the Christmas carol came out and I loved it as a kid it’s definitely in my top few Barbie movies. Even as I kid I found it so refreshing that the main character wasn’t all perfect pure and she grew throughout the story
I agree 99.99% with this ranking, but Barbie as the island princess deserved a little bit more credit, definitely one of my favorite soundtracks and loved the peacock dress 🤷🏻♀️👏🏻
Yesss, I need to know’ is such a fantastic song! ❤️
@@MyStardollVideos same I eas literally singing it one day at work and I am 18, I still love it!
@@MyStardollVideos omg I love that one
I love to listen to it and the patp and instrumental songs so much x3
@@MyStardollVideos 🎵 I need to know these answers. I need to find my way. Seize my tomorrow. Learn my yesterday. I need to take these chances. Let all me feelings show. Can't tell what's waiting. But still I need to go. I need to know 🎵
I still find myself singing the songs from that movie from time to time to this day! They were bops.
About the size of the fairies, I for whatever reason thought they just lived in giant flowers? Like they lived in flowers the size of houses or something. I guess I never noticed they could actually be really small.
Especially because there are smaller fairies that live in the same community
me too, because the mermaids are the same size as the fairies and the dolls were the same size as regular human barbie dolls of the time, also there's fairies that are smaller than elina/azura/etc
I knew it was going to be biased and I still got offended lol
Lolll samee 😭
Me too lol. I was like "everyone has their own opinion based on their own criteria and preferences" and yet I still got a bit triggered
FELT!!! The barbie rapunzel slander was too much!!!
Same lol
Yeah same. Lol I know she doesn’t like the more modern ones but I was obsessed with the ones from the 2011-2016 era
The sad thing about Annalise was actually that she had no dream at all. Erika was on the road to freedom, but Annalise had no hope. She knew and accepted that and carried on without complaint. That’s what makes her my favorite character ❤
I agree, post 2010's Barbie just doesn't do it for me. I watched all of them and only like Princess Charm School & A Fashion Fairytale 😂
Yahusha loves you immensely and died to save you!! REPENT!! DO NOT TAKE THE VACCINE IT IS THE MARK OF THE Beas ttt
@@starduststudios5671 dude stop
But Barbie and the Pink Shoes, though
Ahhh Princess Charm School is my favourite movie
Princess and the pop star was okay too
Barbie and the twelve dancing princesses is my childhood
It had my favorite music
PERIOD it’s was my all time favorite. And in my opinion Derick was the best love interest and also my childhood crush.
@@Avi.joyyy12 girl mine too, Derek has been my favorite name for like 6-7 years after I saw the movie and I named every single male sim that I made Derick and made them look like him lol. And I also considered him to be my type and had a crush on all the guys that looked like him 🤧The impact that this movie had on me lmao.
Today was the day I realised that Tim Curry played the Rat King.
Same
He also played the uncle in the three musketeers
He's so iconic I love the Mouse king
To this day, I’m waiting for Princess and the Pauper to be on broadway.
I actually liked the villain in Pegasus, cause I was dealing with those kind of guys early on and it was hella satisfying to see him get his comeuppance.
I find it weird that one of her criticisms was that she hated the villain. Aren't we supposed to? I hate his sorry ass but it makes the whole thing so much better because we're meant to hate him anyway. They really did a great job with making him despicable and it makes his comeuppance all the more satisfying.
