dame devin was actually quite scary to me for some reason, cause like after all, she was a MOTHER. somehow that made her story even more ominous and disturbing.
One thing I always think about when watching that movie is that right before she realizes who Blair is, it seems like she's about to give her a pep talk. It truly is only Blair's existence that reveals her monstrous side. For any other student, she's a kind and normal mentor.
@@dawrushesinbefore her realizing blaire was the surviving royal daughter, she was more like a mild karen or like a strict but kind teacher. but when she Realized who blaire was, she went ultrakaren mode lol
What I always found hilarious about Barbie and the Pink Shoes was the ballet instructor was the villain for wanting Barbie to keep to the choreography.....lol like girl....
That’s a little weird. I would kinda understand if the choreography was twisting her body in impossible ways. I haven’t seen the movie but from your comment it doesn’t seem like that’s the case
@@maem7462 it was just normal choreographies, barbie just kept randomly dancing out of sync and her instructor just wanted her to do well in front of an audience
SAME!! As someone who was into ballet myself, I was always annoyed at Barbie in that movie for not wanting to stick to the choreo like!! I'll let it slide if it's a solo but that's not gonna get you anywhere in the actual ballet world where you have to learn to coordinate with others because not everything is a solo
The fact that Preminger was voiced by Martin Short still blows me away lol. I feel like he downed a glass of wine before each recording session and that's just the vibe
Rowenas punishment was the one that scared me most as a kid. Like. Dancing forever? Having to keep moving even when your body is shutting down and all your muscles are aching immeasurably??? What if your partner died before you? Does she dance with his corpse or does he drop to the ground and keep dancing alone.
@@autumn3686 It literally is though. The original fairy tale of Snow White ends with the evil queen having to dance herself to death in blistering hot shoes. That is an actual trope.
"the forced marriage is dark when you think about it" no kidding considering annika only just turned 16 and wenlock... definitely is older than 18 that's for sure. and he also did the same thing to brietta 16 years earlier, so he's at least a decade older and a double offender.
Yes yes yes yes yesss These movies are what got me into tropes, and why I love shipping so much! I shipped Barbie even before I knew what shipping was ❤️
I know and respect Preminger as #1, but Laverna in Magic of the Rainbow just really, really terrifies me because she's able to gaslight Elina into being her bestfriend as Sunburst and when her reveal happens during the Flight of Spring with only her *voice* in Sunburst's body... just chills, I can't imagine that happening to me irl
I think Dame Devin should be first only because she’s the only Barbie villain who actually killed not only one but two people, one of them being her own sister. Blaire was also supposed to die despite being a baby, that’s just goes to show how far she willing to go just for power.
charm school is so overrated lol, yall overhyped it, and obviously preminger deserves top spot not devin !! i mean seriously have u even watched princess and the pauper ?!
If ever there was a movie that needed to be re-adapted into a live musical it is Princess and the Pauper. Just imagine How Can I Refuse live on stage with a Broadway budget 🔥
It is THE perfect movie to make a musical out of. It's incredibly theatrical. Even the costuming in the movie reads well - it's clear who are main characters, who are more background characters, Erika and Annelise have distinctive outfits (even when Erika is pretending to be Annelise) that make them recognizable from a distance. The only challenge I can think of would be the whole singing talking animals part of the movie - they'd have to do something like puppeteering, etc.
I think Henna should've been ranked higher But she not only befriended the butterfly fairies mortal enemy and was willing yo let the citizens be eaten Poisoned their queen Gaslit the guards And Imprisoned their prince She basically gaslit gatekeeped and girlbossed the entire movie Also she's really pretty 💜 Edit: I forgot about a handful of these villains but oml these guys are so iconic. I actually cheered for Rothbar, evil bird daddy is an icon
Right?? Henna has LAYERS man! She doesn't try to befriend Mariposa because it would benefit her plan in any way, she just genuinely saw a kindred spirit in her!
I feel that she should have been kept hidden as a villain and she's revealed in the climax that it was her all along. Pull some of that Keyser Soze or Aaron Stampler s**t, right there.
Fun fact: the same voice actress that plays Laverna also plays Saraphina (Annalise’s cat), plays iris in mermaid tail and soooo many other characters in the Barbie world. Just the fact that Laverna and Saraphina are the same voice actress is crazy to me!! You would never think
@@happyjellycatsquid they were not "almost kissing". They were just dancing... The movie hints that Gothel and Rapunzel's father were best friends, and she was just bitter because he didnt't fell in love with her like she did.
@@eduardon9299 idk man there faces were awfully close for bestfriend, I usually like my lips further than a couple inches away from my best friend’s but aight, you do you
@@happyjellycatsquid well if you dance with a partner(something like vals) you look like almost kissing but actually no, it's just the dance need you two be that close, and Gothel was in love with him, so it's normal that she wanted to stay close as nuch as posible. But, in fact they had a really good friendship , until she fell in love with him , and knew he married someone else made her crazy.
@@miacrissaven3625 But what tells us what he says is true besides his words as the Barbie’s father? Nothing. It’s an he said she said situation. And I choose chaos
Preminger is my favorite villain, but Wenlock from Magic of the Pegasus was the creepiest. Man literally turned women to trolls so he could make his own harem. 4 year old me was terrified.
I think Rowena's motivation was that she was completely BROKE ! her carriage broke, and i think her henchman mentions it, her becoming queen would give her the wealth and comfort she wants
When Derek confronted the guy who Rowena sold Queen Isabella's goblet in exchange for the herbs to make the poison that made King Randolph ill, he said that everyone knows that Rowena never paids her debts. So yeah makes sense
For the princess Charm School villain, Blair was supposed to die, but she somehow survived the car crash. When Dane Devon found out, she didn’t understand how she was still alive.
I feel like Preminger is so iconic as he reminds me so much of Disney villains. And old school Disney villains are designed to have a confident Queer-vibe but it makes them so iconic and likeable even though they are villains. Preminger definetly channels that energy too
Malucia is admittedly an interesting villain because she's really fun and subversive. Little kids in almost all Barbie movies are meant to be the cutesy girls to market toys, but not Malucia. She's bratty, greedy, and she commands attention in every scene. I remember her so well because she's just so much fun to watch. I love unorthodox villains and little kids are some of my favorites.
For Dame Devin. I always assumed that she payed a guy who looked like the royal driver to drive the car into a tree, but baby Blair survived and he couldn't leave her to die slowly or be found so he left her on a door step.
@@BritishMotherfucker He was shown as a puppy in one of the portraits, so maybe he was born around when Blair / Sophia was and brought to the palace by Isabella and Reginald or someone on the royal staff
I've gotta send some love to my girl Rowena. The 12 Dancing Princesses will always be my favourite barbie movie and Rowena just made it ICONIC. Her manipulation, line delivery, flare, everything about her character is *chefs kiss*. As someone who studied english litterature for two years her character and the movie's plot makes my little author heart squeal.
But the construction dude with the funny accent who wants to destroy the field where the Twillerbees live could be considered a villain in "Thumbellina," but he's not very threatening.
As a late 90's early 2000's Barbie girl, I will always be a fan of the Mouse King and Gothel! They both held such an iron grip on their respective villain plans. You never forgot that they were the threat of the movie. . . . BUT PREMINGER- yeah you have to crown the King. The poodle sidekick was perfection.
Wenlock terrifies me. I’d be the one to refuse him if he asked me to marry him not only because I hate him but romance isn’t really my thing. So yeah, he scares me. He’s so creepy and evil! He’s also clearly misogynistic.
My favorite villain is Laverna because i was obsessed with her for a while after i watched the Fairytopia trilogy. I always repeated her lines and yelled "FUNGUS" at random times imitating her voice. Idk, she's just so iconic to me
for me, queen ariana was your standard barbie movie villain with a decent amount of depth and threat. the real standout and what made her more interesting for me was her daughter, princess luciana. it would have been easy and trope-ish to make her into a snobby, spoiled princess who goes along with her mother's plan because she's also in love with the prince. but they decided to make her into a sweet, lovely girl who only wishes to experience falling in love. while the love in her head is certainly very idealistic snd you could argue that when her mother shut it down it was just a more realistic arguement, still hearing that your own mother never loved your father is heartbreaking. this contrast between her and her mother makes the two more nuanced as we see this abusive relationship unfold. and i think without princess luciana being the way that she is, queen ariana wouldnt have been so memorable for me.
A lot off earlier villain’s had some pretty well known voice actors, too. Kelsey Grammar voiced Rothbart, Anjelica Huston voiced Gothel, Martin Short voiced Preminger, Catherine O’Hara voiced Duchess Rowen, and Tim Curry voiced BOTH Phillipe and the Mouse King. And they’re all excellent 😌
Oh my god I just went back to Gothel's line and you're RIGHT! It's like they went "So we know you have experience playing both witches and/or goths, Anjelica. How would you feel about playing a witch named Gothel?"
What I like about the Mouse King is that he was voiced by the iconic Tim Curry. Rothbart can be pretty scary. My sister would go and hide whenever he would appear onscreen. Raquel and Lydia were the two villains that annoyed me the most. Raquel for stealing Barbie's bracelet and Lydia for having Slider kidnapping Liana. Like, Raquel should've been suspended and put in jail for stealing a bracelet and I would've punched Lydia in the face for being a menace.
i feel like that's what makes him so scary (at least to me), he seems to be quite similar to evil men that exist in real life who treat women like objects and their property...
I like the villain from the Pegasus movie because he actually made Barbie so mad that she wanted to kill him. He isn't my favorite villain I don't think. But the way he affected her in that movie really stuck with me. A hero have a moment of weakness and indulge in bad thoughts? That moment was a pleasant surprise.
The Princess and the Pauper is just the best Barbie movie. It has the most beautiful and heartwarming songs, interesting plot which (thanks to Preminger and his plan) makes you really engaged in what's next, amazing iconic dresses (especially the Anneliese's one), the CUTEST couples that you genuinely ship AND the best villain ever. Preminger is just a whole package, he is really really evil, manipulative and will do everything to make his plan work, he can sing, he has an unique look and is just an interesting character
Rovena has always been the scariest for me. I think it's because of this very idea of someone controlling me, taking my entire personality away and making me feel I'm wrong to be the way I am and punishing me for being this way. Plus, her slowly poisoning the father was just painful. I still feel anxious just thinking about her.
31:20 that's called heterochromia iridium and I love it too, it's one of the few genuinely cool things to start with the prefix 'hetero-' /hj Also I hadn't noticed that about Wenlock before, so thank you Cait for pointing it out xx
another interesting point: wenlock's heterochromia disappears when the wand of light transforms him back into his true self. he has two brown eyes at the end. he GAVE HIMSELF one blue eye.
I think for me it will have to be Laverna from Fairytopia, since she was the first barbie villain I saw, and even though I have watched almost all of the barbie movies, there is just something about her that was terrifying. I remember being a little scared of her and not liking her at all and thought she was pure evil as a child, and now I still think that she was one of the best/worst barbie villains for the reasons Caitlin explained. Yet there were other villains in this list that made sense and some villains were really evil and scary. This is also because the Fairytopia movies were my favorite when I was little especially Magic of the Rainbow so they are really nostalgic to me. Side Note: Not too long ago I was watching a not too old video of Caitlin's (I swear this was like two days ago) and I thought to myself that what if she does a ranking barbie movie villains, and now she did! I just laughed and was like no way! LOL
so glad magic of the rainbow is getting some love in the comments! I feel like it alwayss gets overshadowed by the first and second movies (especially mermaidia, that seems like the majority fav). the first one will always be my fav but magic of the rainbow was so unique and cool
- Dame Devin is such an iconic villain! I just LOVE her golden ruffle/frill collar dress so much. Also I always thought it was lowkey hilarious how quickly Delancy literally went from "omg mom you killed the queen?!?!" to dancing with everyone at the end 😂😂 like she was so fast with processing that lol. - so true about Love is for Peasants! It's such a good villain song!!! - 😂everyone is literally trying to take over the kingdom lolll but it makes for such fun villains so im not complaining, haha! this video was so cozy to watch! so much nostalgia with the good villains 💖
Queen Ariana's backstory confused me when I learned what 'the devil's tango' was cus she either did IT with the old king and luckily got a daughter. But because the line is 'when I found out king Richard had a son, I had a daughter right away' I wondered how she knew her child was going to be a daughter or she could of kidnapped a child from the orphanage or even a rich couples child.
Yeah, that line definitely makes it sound like she got pregnant _after_ her husband died. Maybe she went off and had a one-night stand and just passed the resulting pregnancy off as being from her late husband? But that still doesn't explain how she knew it would be a girl (or how she "made sure" she would get pregnant at all).
If we're gonna talk about Wenlock, let's talk about Wenlock. Watched Pegasus yesterday, perfect timing. So he does have heterochromia, but *HE GIVES IT TO HIMSELF!!* When he transforms at the end of the movie back into a regular guy, he has two brown eyes. Dude was like "I'm ugly, give me height and muscle and all the things I could possibly want in my appearance," then looks at himself in the mirror, decides he's still ugly so says "give me blue eyes." Not satisfied so goes "give me yellow instead." Man is _still_ not satisfied, so says "give me both." Damn. Talk about being insecure. Also, the his backstory starts with him stealing the staff of a powerful sorcerer. Why then, at the end of the movie, does the all powerful staff turn into an oar? Like... Annika undoes all his spells, but the staff was the one who did the spells(not its fault, just doin what it's told) and therefore should still remain the staff because a spell was not put upon it... I mean unless he used the staff to make his own magic staff... but then he would have had to keep the original staff to make sure no one else took it... Idk. Seems flawed to me. Okay. I've edited this like... 10 times now. I think I've said all that I needed to say. Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.
Maybe whatever the wand of light did to him at the end wasn't _just_ undo all his spells, but also specifically make him powerless, so he can't hurt anyone anymore? And so that resulted in his scepter being turned into a wooden oar? Because like. If it stayed a magic scepter, there would be nothing stopping him from just redoing everything.
I think that most of the excellence around all of these villains is the voice acting. Everyone is just eating up every single second of screen time they get. They’ve also got some serious star power behind a few of them. They got Catherine O’Hara, Martin Short, and the legendary Tim Curry behind them.
Tbh I always wanted a part two to Barbie Princess Charm School. Maybe even a prequel to the life of Dame Devin being a lottery winner. The question I have is about how did her brother even become king? And marry Isabella? Did he met her when he visited Devin during her time in princess charm school? Because it wouldn’t make sense for him to be a prince and not Dame Devin.
Honestly now after watching this and thinking about it for a while Gothel is my new favourite villain. I just love that her motive is not power and wealth, but rather really cruel revenge. She always asserts power and just acts in such a badass way, then her being defeated by her own spell is a nice contrast to that. Also I fucking love Otto for some reason, that last scene were he has to bring her tea is such a hilarious and in-character way to show how they ended up and it always makes me grin.
This video being uploaded the same day I find out Martin Short (the iconic Preminger himself) will be playing Lumiere in a Beauty & the Beast 30 Year celebration special next month. 🥰💜🕯
Something I love about Preminger is that is does ballet 😂 In his song and when he asks the Queen to marry him he does some ballet steps! (I’m a dancer btw)
I’ve always been obsessed with Barbie Swan lake and, for so long, I thought it was because of Odette’s fantastic dress and because you can’t go wrong with talking animals (when you’re 6 at least). What I now know is that I’ve been in love with Rothbart since I was a child. I blame it on my brain worms but you can’t beat a pointy-nosed bird man
I agree with last place. It’s just stupid. I like the older Barbie villains because they have personality. I also hate the Lost Birthday villain. He’s just dumb and no real character traits other than he hates children to the point he’s willing to destroy a cruise ship
I love how with Martin Short you can tell he is having a F**KING BALL with playing Preminger, he is just having fun and yes he is a wonderful goofy comedian but he loves playing villains and honestly can you blame him? Also I have him shouting "IDIOT!" as a text message tone.
My brother and I watched Princess and the Pauper for the first time a few years ago, and could NOT get over Preminger saying "Why, helloooo". Became one of our inside jokes. The way he said it and his face, we lost our minds laughing, he's the best.
Preminger is my favorite villain. He's sassy, smart, theatrical, flexible with his plans, observant, has a great singing voice, and has that passion in every word he says. I strive to cosplay as him one day and he's actually very hot. I apologize to everyone for saying that if I scarred you. I have a crush on him and I will never be sorry. How can I refuse him?
Barbie's Gothel still terrifies me to this very day. She gave me nightmares as a kid and I can't even tell if it's the way she looks or her personality.
I vaguely recall Laverna mentioning or at least implying that the reason she wants to take over Fairytopia is that she's always felt like she was in Enchantress' shadow and like she was a black sheep who was never loved by her. A "if you think I'm a villain, then I'll become a villain" type of situation in a way.
Dame Devin definitely was a bit more evil just because she got rid of Blaire’s mom through setting up a car crash where Blaire was supposed to die as well but she found in front of her adopted moms house
Preminger supremacy!!!!!! Always stan a man who rhymed champagne with Charlemagne. Also I did not know Martin Short voiced him but given that they got Tim Curry for the mouse king I’m also kind of not surprised. Im ngl I’m surprised dame devin is so low considering she arranged for the murder of 2 people (successfully) and a baby, all her own family.
To me, Preminger is the best villain! He is sassy, smart, have a pretty outfit AND is a good singer. This man is perfect and iconic, entertaining too 😊 My number 2 is Rowenna from Twelve dancing princesses; she has an evil monkey, can manipulate the king AND killed him, she uses the power of the golden flower well, is super severe. This lady is smart and cruel. Her grey dress is ugly but her personality is great! My number 3 is Queen Ariana from Island Princess; she married a rich king then kill him to take his money plus she manipulates her daughter AND tried to kill Prince Antonio by poisoning the wedding cake. Also her rats can hide anywhere and are agile, it's hard to see them doing an evil trick.
Supposedly her husband had a heart condition that he died from if I heard her song right. To me I like to think that she had married him only for the title and power that comes with it and well he died just 3 days after they married. I just think that while she is a evil woman she didn't kill her husband or poison him.
Yessss, those are my top three as well! From what I remember, Rowena actually steals and sells some of the late Queen's silver items (I think it was a cup) to buy the poison she uses on the King. She pretty much succeeded at killing him (I don't think Genevieve or Lacy realized he was dead when they brought the water that ends up "curing" him) and she becomes Queen. From the beginning, she is determined to alienate the princesses from their father and drive a wedge in their relationship. I think she convinces the King in his weak, sickly state to view the princesses as "burdens to him" and that's why they leave. Also, the way she calls the King "dear cousin" is truly disturbing cause you can totally sense her scheming. She is so devious and truly an iconic villain!
I honestly love Ariana as a villain. Her plan was just so well thought out and when I watched it for the second time, I has to pause to actually take in the lyrics of her song. Her family tried to commit treason, she married a king just to gain the status of queen only for the king to die later because of a heart condition, then planned to commit treason again by poisoning the king, queen, and literally everyone else who was at the wedding.
The Princess And The Pauper is also my best Barbie movie of all time. Dominic, Perminger, Annaliese, Julian, Erika, Erika's boss, everyone is iconic including their pets like it's so beautifully made it's unbelievable, I could watch it a million times. And also I can sing every one of their songs and my favourite is 'if you love me for me'
My Top 5: 1. Preminger (duh) 2. Duchess Rowena (an actual threat and despite wearing only one grey dress pulls it off FLAWLESSLY) 3. Laverna (an ICON let's be real) 4. Dame Devin (another actual threat who also is STUNNINK in her one chartreuse ensemble) 5. Lydia (idc she's a vibe tbh)
Honestly I think Wenlock is second place to Preminger, he just shows up (unpredictably), demands you marry him, and if not he turns you into a horse or turns your loved ones into stone. Or who knows what else he’s done. He’s not motivated by anything but I guess…. Marrying people too young for him? Man’s turned a guy into a literal doormat. He is way op and seems evil just for the sake of being evil.
Your top ten is very solid. Not sure how fairy secret girl was so high, tho, she wasnt even on screen much (the princess filled more of the on-screen powerful villian role tbh). Great list tho! I also liked Secret Door's backstory about her being the only princess w/o magic, in a world where every creature seems to have magic in some form, and this not being her first time stealing it, was interesting
Smh Malucia deserves better, I Want It All is an iconic bop, and this is coming from someone who didn't even grow up with that movie! Watched it for the first time very recently and Malucia became like, genuinely one of or maybe just straight up my favorite Barbie villain, she's so much fun!!
wenlock's my favorite barbie movie villain. idk anyone like preminger in real life, but i know ppl like wenlock. it's a realistic and accessible evil to come from a barbie movie; entitled misogynists obsessed with the value of beauty are more comprehensible villains and strike deeper than a villain like agent dunbar or someone, and when a character like wenlock changes his mind? rescinds the offer that's been on the back burner for the protagonist to use as a last resort? an unpredictable villain, going against the plot progressions we're used to/comfy with, that we can see mirrored in real life, is phenomenal character design.
OH MY GOD THE MOUSE KING.... when i was little he really freaked me out for some reason tbh. the noise he makes when getting knocked out early in the movie and the way his model moved genuinely scared me to the point where i would hide when the first fight scene came on. i now love him. his voice acting makes up for any shortcomings of that movie i stg.
At first I was surprised that the Mouse King was so "low", but when I saw the others on top 10, I thought: "Oh, makes sense." I'm glad you have changed your mind about Ariana. I don't know why, but for some reason I thought that you were going to say "If I saw Rowena in real life, I would run." :D But yeah, your option is relatable too. You've probably remembered already, but her henchman's name is Desmond. Especially your top 3 is amazing. Thank you for this video, it was a joy to watch.
I'm just getting started on watching the video, and I already know Preminger is on number one because he's everywhere on your cover and everyone loves him, especially me.
I'm pretty sure the way that Dame Devin murdered Blair's mom was that she caused there to be a car crash and only infant Blair survived. And Rowena's henchman's name is Desmond. I wasn't really that scared of Wenlock when I was little (granted, I only saw "Magic of Pegasus" a few times), but Wenlock grossed my mom out. I didn't understand why he grossed her out but now that I have a full understanding of his motives with forcing first Brietta, then Annika into marriage is kinda gross.
The way Preminger moves and talks is so iconic, the world is a theatre for him
He's just a silly little guy
@@MiaGarcia-gm5ge he was feeling a little goofy!!!

The moment I saw the title, I knew Preminger was the winner without any second thoughts. He’s petty, devious and kills it in musical numbers? ICONIC 🔥
I like him too.
He is funny too😂
Don't forget that!
He’s also just extremely memorable not only as a villain but as a character in general. Anything he has said can still be quoted to this day
Preminger is an ICON ngl

How can I refuse is one of the biggests bops
What I always found hilarious about Barbie and the Pink Shoes was the ballet instructor was the villain for wanting Barbie to keep to the choreography.....lol like girl....

@@barbrr FR! The fact that he tried to get with 16yr olds TWICE? Nah man… 🤢

Rowenas punishment was the one that scared me most as a kid. Like. Dancing forever? Having to keep moving even when your body is shutting down and all your muscles are aching immeasurably??? What if your partner died before you? Does she dance with his corpse or does he drop to the ground and keep dancing alone.
Not to mention they'll need to eat and drink and sleep there's no way they'd last long, that's a whole torture death sentence
@@autumn3686 It literally is though. The original fairy tale of Snow White ends with the evil queen having to dance herself to death in blistering hot shoes. That is an actual trope.

That reminds me, Rowena and Desmond's corpses are still dancing 💀
@@aylade THIS. this is underrated
"the forced marriage is dark when you think about it" no kidding considering annika only just turned 16 and wenlock... definitely is older than 18 that's for sure. and he also did the same thing to brietta 16 years earlier, so he's at least a decade older and a double offender.
Video idea: What if you do a tier list of Barbie couples?
I love this idea 👌🏻
Yas!! Please do barbie couples!!!
Yes yes yes yes yesss
These movies are what got me into tropes, and why I love shipping so much! I shipped Barbie even before I knew what shipping was ❤️
i love all the barbie vids this would be super good!!
Agree ❤
I know and respect Preminger as #1, but Laverna in Magic of the Rainbow just really, really terrifies me because she's able to gaslight Elina into being her bestfriend as Sunburst and when her reveal happens during the Flight of Spring with only her *voice* in Sunburst's body... just chills, I can't imagine that happening to me irl
I love Laverna too, the whole time in Magic of the Rainbow I was anxious where she was and then... She was pretending to be Sunburst the whole time 😲
"Too bad I wasn't born that way" with laverna in the mirror was great hahahaahah
Yes laverna actually deserves top 3 she is so badass
I think Dame Devin should be first only because she’s the only Barbie villain who actually killed not only one but two people, one of them being her own sister. Blaire was also supposed to die despite being a baby, that’s just goes to show how far she willing to go just for power.
It was her sister in law I belive not sister

@@violetpixie7224 You clearly can’t handle someone having a different opinion then yours
She technically did the most evil things. Preminger is too iconic to get anything other than number 1

I think Henna should've been ranked higher
But she not only befriended the butterfly fairies mortal enemy and was willing yo let the citizens be eaten
Poisoned their queen
Gaslit the guards
And Imprisoned their prince
She basically gaslit gatekeeped and girlbossed the entire movie
Also she's really pretty 💜
Edit: I forgot about a handful of these villains but oml these guys are so iconic. I actually cheered for Rothbar, evil bird daddy is an icon
Right?? Henna has LAYERS man! She doesn't try to befriend Mariposa because it would benefit her plan in any way, she just genuinely saw a kindred spirit in her!
EVIL BIRD DADDY
I feel that she should have been kept hidden as a villain and she's revealed in the climax that it was her all along. Pull some of that Keyser Soze or Aaron Stampler s**t, right there.
Fun fact: the same voice actress that plays Laverna also plays Saraphina (Annalise’s cat), plays iris in mermaid tail and soooo many other characters in the Barbie world. Just the fact that Laverna and Saraphina are the same voice actress is crazy to me!! You would never think
Just like the VA that voices Bibble is also the Fungus in all Fairytopia movies and the Trolls from the first
That's actually mad how versatile that queen is
She also voiced Trixie and Queen Chrysalis in My Little Pony
Preminger is my favorite villain in Barbie by far! Can't believe Princess & the Pauper will celebrate its 20th anniversary this year!!!
Gothel, Rowena, Rothbart (the scariest imo) and Preminger are my favorite villains :). Gothel deserves her own movie featuring her backstory.
Yeah that painting with her and Rapunzel’s father almost kissing and then him going “I never loved” you straight to Gothel’s face is…
@@happyjellycatsquid they were not "almost kissing". They were just dancing... The movie hints that Gothel and Rapunzel's father were best friends, and she was just bitter because he didnt't fell in love with her like she did.
@@eduardon9299 idk man there faces were awfully close for bestfriend, I usually like my lips further than a couple inches away from my best friend’s but aight, you do you
@@happyjellycatsquid well if you dance with a partner(something like vals) you look like almost kissing but actually no, it's just the dance need you two be that close, and Gothel was in love with him, so it's normal that she wanted to stay close as nuch as posible. But, in fact they had a really good friendship , until she fell in love with him , and knew he married someone else made her crazy.
@@miacrissaven3625 But what tells us what he says is true besides his words as the Barbie’s father? Nothing. It’s an he said she said situation. And I choose chaos
Preminger is my favorite villain, but Wenlock from Magic of the Pegasus was the creepiest. Man literally turned women to trolls so he could make his own harem. 4 year old me was terrified.
no joke everyone you put in the top 5 genuinely used to scare me as a kid 😭 this ranking is so valid
Lydia scared the shit out of me yet I still loved her
I think Rowena's motivation was that she was completely BROKE ! her carriage broke, and i think her henchman mentions it, her becoming queen would give her the wealth and comfort she wants
When Derek confronted the guy who Rowena sold Queen Isabella's goblet in exchange for the herbs to make the poison that made King Randolph ill, he said that everyone knows that Rowena never paids her debts. So yeah makes sense
For the princess Charm School villain, Blair was supposed to die, but she somehow survived the car crash. When Dane Devon found out, she didn’t understand how she was still alive.
Preminger never scared me but his two henchmen did. The way they kidnap the main characters used to give me nightmares
His henchmen are my last two brain cells when I’m exhausted. No, I do not kidnap people.
@@theroseofversaillesi agree with you excluding the last part
I feel like Preminger is so iconic as he reminds me so much of Disney villains. And old school Disney villains are designed to have a confident Queer-vibe but it makes them so iconic and likeable even though they are villains. Preminger definetly channels that energy too
I love how he's like "and that nitwit Annelise can kiss my shoes" like it's such a creative insult. He's an amazing villain.
Preminger is PEAK queercoding
I now wanna see Priminger in the same room as Ursula, I feel they would gossip and judge so hard lol
He would easily fit well as one of the villains from the Disney Renaissance.
I think Lydia’s voice actress and design just sells the character for me, it’s just so classic barbie villain
Malucia is admittedly an interesting villain because she's really fun and subversive. Little kids in almost all Barbie movies are meant to be the cutesy girls to market toys, but not Malucia. She's bratty, greedy, and she commands attention in every scene. I remember her so well because she's just so much fun to watch. I love unorthodox villains and little kids are some of my favorites.
For Dame Devin. I always assumed that she payed a guy who looked like the royal driver to drive the car into a tree, but baby Blair survived and he couldn't leave her to die slowly or be found so he left her on a door step.
Prince the dog could have been there and brought the baby Sophia / Blair to her adoptive mother’s doorstep
@@Rosegirl398 Speaking of Prince: Shouldn’t he be dead by then cause to my knowledge dogs don’t live that long
@@BritishMotherfucker He was shown as a puppy in one of the portraits, so maybe he was born around when Blair / Sophia was and brought to the palace by Isabella and Reginald or someone on the royal staff
@@Rosegirl398 Ah
I've gotta send some love to my girl Rowena. The 12 Dancing Princesses will always be my favourite barbie movie and Rowena just made it ICONIC. Her manipulation, line delivery, flare, everything about her character is *chefs kiss*. As someone who studied english litterature for two years her character and the movie's plot makes my little author heart squeal.
Top comment! 💙 I absolutely agree.
I knew that Preminger was the top before I even clicked the video and I'm never going to disagree with that.
Fun fact: The only barbie movies with no villain are, Thumbelina, Perfect Christmas, Starlight Adventure, and Puppy Chase.
But the construction dude with the funny accent who wants to destroy the field where the Twillerbees live could be considered a villain in "Thumbellina," but he's not very threatening.
@@broadwaybrook2319 Yeah that is true
As a late 90's early 2000's Barbie girl, I will always be a fan of the Mouse King and Gothel! They both held such an iron grip on their respective villain plans. You never forgot that they were the threat of the movie. . . . BUT PREMINGER- yeah you have to crown the King. The poodle sidekick was perfection.
Preminger is my favorite villain, but to me Wenlock has always been the scariest.
Wenlock terrifies me. I’d be the one to refuse him if he asked me to marry him not only because I hate him but romance isn’t really my thing. So yeah, he scares me. He’s so creepy and evil! He’s also clearly misogynistic.
Why did I just realize that Odile is practically Janice from friends, physically and in the way she speaks. OH NO
The fact that she's actually voiced by her lol
@@richieswar3139 wait she is???
@@fizzydizzystudios4768 Yep
We did get a motive for Lydia in the movie, when Melody is explaining to them what happened she explains that Lydia was jealous of the other muses
My favorite villain is Laverna because i was obsessed with her for a while after i watched the Fairytopia trilogy. I always repeated her lines and yelled "FUNGUS" at random times imitating her voice. Idk, she's just so iconic to me
for me, queen ariana was your standard barbie movie villain with a decent amount of depth and threat. the real standout and what made her more interesting for me was her daughter, princess luciana. it would have been easy and trope-ish to make her into a snobby, spoiled princess who goes along with her mother's plan because she's also in love with the prince. but they decided to make her into a sweet, lovely girl who only wishes to experience falling in love. while the love in her head is certainly very idealistic snd you could argue that when her mother shut it down it was just a more realistic arguement, still hearing that your own mother never loved your father is heartbreaking. this contrast between her and her mother makes the two more nuanced as we see this abusive relationship unfold. and i think without princess luciana being the way that she is, queen ariana wouldnt have been so memorable for me.
A lot off earlier villain’s had some pretty well known voice actors, too. Kelsey Grammar voiced Rothbart, Anjelica Huston voiced Gothel, Martin Short voiced Preminger, Catherine O’Hara voiced Duchess Rowen, and Tim Curry voiced BOTH Phillipe and the Mouse King. And they’re all excellent 😌
Oh my god I just went back to Gothel's line and you're RIGHT! It's like they went "So we know you have experience playing both witches and/or goths, Anjelica. How would you feel about playing a witch named Gothel?"
Not saying she's equally iconic as all those actors, but Brie Larson voiced princess Annika in Magic of the Pegasus, I think it's so cool!
@@vickymiguez3277 Brie actually just sang the credits song “Hope Has Wings” (still an icon singing an iconic song)
Kelly Sheridan voiced Barbie
I’ve been watching these since I was a child and I’m just learning all of this oh my fucking god
And the lady who played Janice in Friends voiced Odile.
What I like about the Mouse King is that he was voiced by the iconic Tim Curry. Rothbart can be pretty scary. My sister would go and hide whenever he would appear onscreen. Raquel and Lydia were the two villains that annoyed me the most. Raquel for stealing Barbie's bracelet and Lydia for having Slider kidnapping Liana. Like, Raquel should've been suspended and put in jail for stealing a bracelet and I would've punched Lydia in the face for being a menace.
Is it just me or Wenlock is the Andrew Tate of Barbie Cinematic Universe.....
i feel like that's what makes him so scary (at least to me), he seems to be quite similar to evil men that exist in real life who treat women like objects and their property...
I'm actually shitting my pants lmao
Lol
You are not alone sister
That is the most accurate thing ever
I like the villain from the Pegasus movie because he actually made Barbie so mad that she wanted to kill him. He isn't my favorite villain I don't think. But the way he affected her in that movie really stuck with me. A hero have a moment of weakness and indulge in bad thoughts? That moment was a pleasant surprise.
The Princess and the Pauper is just the best Barbie movie. It has the most beautiful and heartwarming songs, interesting plot which (thanks to Preminger and his plan) makes you really engaged in what's next, amazing iconic dresses (especially the Anneliese's one), the CUTEST couples that you genuinely ship AND the best villain ever. Preminger is just a whole package, he is really really evil, manipulative and will do everything to make his plan work, he can sing, he has an unique look and is just an interesting character
Rovena has always been the scariest for me. I think it's because of this very idea of someone controlling me, taking my entire personality away and making me feel I'm wrong to be the way I am and punishing me for being this way. Plus, her slowly poisoning the father was just painful. I still feel anxious just thinking about her.
Rowena*
31:20 that's called heterochromia iridium and I love it too, it's one of the few genuinely cool things to start with the prefix 'hetero-' /hj Also I hadn't noticed that about Wenlock before, so thank you Cait for pointing it out xx
@@moimoiyoop Don't forget the obvious hate toward heterozygous genes/j
another interesting point: wenlock's heterochromia disappears when the wand of light transforms him back into his true self. he has two brown eyes at the end. he GAVE HIMSELF one blue eye.
i have sectoral heterochromia! its one of my fav features
I think for me it will have to be Laverna from Fairytopia, since she was the first barbie villain I saw, and even though I have watched almost all of the barbie movies, there is just something about her that was terrifying. I remember being a little scared of her and not liking her at all and thought she was pure evil as a child, and now I still think that she was one of the best/worst barbie villains for the reasons Caitlin explained. Yet there were other villains in this list that made sense and some villains were really evil and scary. This is also because the Fairytopia movies were my favorite when I was little especially Magic of the Rainbow so they are really nostalgic to me.
Side Note: Not too long ago I was watching a not too old video of Caitlin's (I swear this was like two days ago) and I thought to myself that what if she does a ranking barbie movie villains, and now she did! I just laughed and was like no way! LOL
I liked that she was just evil bc she wanted to be
Lucky you!
so glad magic of the rainbow is getting some love in the comments! I feel like it alwayss gets overshadowed by the first and second movies (especially mermaidia, that seems like the majority fav). the first one will always be my fav but magic of the rainbow was so unique and cool
@@sklsdjf Yes it does get overshadowed a lot. Magic of The Rainbow needs more appreciation.
#MagicofTheRainbowAppreciation
- Dame Devin is such an iconic villain! I just LOVE her golden ruffle/frill collar dress so much. Also I always thought it was lowkey hilarious how quickly Delancy literally went from "omg mom you killed the queen?!?!" to dancing with everyone at the end 😂😂 like she was so fast with processing that lol.
- so true about Love is for Peasants! It's such a good villain song!!!
- 😂everyone is literally trying to take over the kingdom lolll but it makes for such fun villains so im not complaining, haha!
this video was so cozy to watch! so much nostalgia with the good villains 💖
Queen Ariana's backstory confused me when I learned what 'the devil's tango' was cus she either did IT with the old king and luckily got a daughter. But because the line is 'when I found out king Richard had a son, I had a daughter right away' I wondered how she knew her child was going to be a daughter or she could of kidnapped a child from the orphanage or even a rich couples child.
Do you mean the devil's tango from Alex Meyers?
Yeah, that line definitely makes it sound like she got pregnant _after_ her husband died. Maybe she went off and had a one-night stand and just passed the resulting pregnancy off as being from her late husband? But that still doesn't explain how she knew it would be a girl (or how she "made sure" she would get pregnant at all).
If we're gonna talk about Wenlock, let's talk about Wenlock. Watched Pegasus yesterday, perfect timing.
So he does have heterochromia, but *HE GIVES IT TO HIMSELF!!*
When he transforms at the end of the movie back into a regular guy, he has two brown eyes. Dude was like "I'm ugly, give me height and muscle and all the things I could possibly want in my appearance," then looks at himself in the mirror, decides he's still ugly so says "give me blue eyes." Not satisfied so goes "give me yellow instead." Man is _still_ not satisfied, so says "give me both."
Damn. Talk about being insecure.
Also, the his backstory starts with him stealing the staff of a powerful sorcerer. Why then, at the end of the movie, does the all powerful staff turn into an oar? Like... Annika undoes all his spells, but the staff was the one who did the spells(not its fault, just doin what it's told) and therefore should still remain the staff because a spell was not put upon it... I mean unless he used the staff to make his own magic staff... but then he would have had to keep the original staff to make sure no one else took it...
Idk. Seems flawed to me.
Okay. I've edited this like... 10 times now. I think I've said all that I needed to say. Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.
Maybe whatever the wand of light did to him at the end wasn't _just_ undo all his spells, but also specifically make him powerless, so he can't hurt anyone anymore? And so that resulted in his scepter being turned into a wooden oar? Because like. If it stayed a magic scepter, there would be nothing stopping him from just redoing everything.
I think that most of the excellence around all of these villains is the voice acting. Everyone is just eating up every single second of screen time they get. They’ve also got some serious star power behind a few of them. They got Catherine O’Hara, Martin Short, and the legendary Tim Curry behind them.
Tbh I always wanted a part two to Barbie Princess Charm School. Maybe even a prequel to the life of Dame Devin being a lottery winner. The question I have is about how did her brother even become king? And marry Isabella? Did he met her when he visited Devin during her time in princess charm school? Because it wouldn’t make sense for him to be a prince and not Dame Devin.
Honestly now after watching this and thinking about it for a while Gothel is my new favourite villain.
I just love that her motive is not power and wealth, but rather really cruel revenge. She always asserts power and just acts in such a badass way, then her being defeated by her own spell is a nice contrast to that.
Also I fucking love Otto for some reason, that last scene were he has to bring her tea is such a hilarious and in-character way to show how they ended up and it always makes me grin.
This video being uploaded the same day I find out Martin Short (the iconic Preminger himself) will be playing Lumiere in a Beauty & the Beast 30 Year celebration special next month. 🥰💜🕯
This comment is how I found out. Now I am very excited!!!!!!
Omg he’s playing lumiere in the celebration. I didn’t know that I’m so excited
Something I love about Preminger is that is does ballet 😂 In his song and when he asks the Queen to marry him he does some ballet steps! (I’m a dancer btw)
I actually headcanon him to like ballet as a hobby.
The Mouse King will probably be number one for me still, since having Tim Curry’s voice elevated you quite a bit as a fun, but also capable, villain.
“Forcing someone into marriage...” Kinda reminds me of what love potions intend to do
I’ve always been obsessed with Barbie Swan lake and, for so long, I thought it was because of Odette’s fantastic dress and because you can’t go wrong with talking animals (when you’re 6 at least). What I now know is that I’ve been in love with Rothbart since I was a child. I blame it on my brain worms but you can’t beat a pointy-nosed bird man
Dame Devin is a perfect role for an antagonist nowadays like she's an Icon even the side character like Delancey and Portia
I agree with last place. It’s just stupid. I like the older Barbie villains because they have personality. I also hate the Lost Birthday villain. He’s just dumb and no real character traits other than he hates children to the point he’s willing to destroy a cruise ship
I love how with Martin Short you can tell he is having a F**KING BALL with playing Preminger, he is just having fun and yes he is a wonderful goofy comedian but he loves playing villains and honestly can you blame him? Also I have him shouting "IDIOT!" as a text message tone.
apparently he doesn’t remember voicing preminger at all
lydia used to terrify me as a child 😭 diamond castle was my fave growing up & i remember her traumatizing me
My brother and I watched Princess and the Pauper for the first time a few years ago, and could NOT get over Preminger saying "Why, helloooo". Became one of our inside jokes. The way he said it and his face, we lost our minds laughing, he's the best.
Rothbart’s nose should have a ranking spot of its own just for the scary factor if it 😂
Preminger is my favorite villain. He's sassy, smart, theatrical, flexible with his plans, observant, has a great singing voice, and has that passion in every word he says. I strive to cosplay as him one day and he's actually very hot. I apologize to everyone for saying that if I scarred you. I have a crush on him and I will never be sorry. How can I refuse him?
Barbie's Gothel still terrifies me to this very day. She gave me nightmares as a kid and I can't even tell if it's the way she looks or her personality.
I was more afraid of her pet
I vaguely recall Laverna mentioning or at least implying that the reason she wants to take over Fairytopia is that she's always felt like she was in Enchantress' shadow and like she was a black sheep who was never loved by her. A "if you think I'm a villain, then I'll become a villain" type of situation in a way.
Caitlin: Laverna is at her best in the first movie.
*Proceeds to show a clip of her from the third movie.*
✨Movie idea✨ All the 2000s Barbie villains team up and takeover the Barbieverse!
Human Nalu is seen as the villagers are being frozen by Wenlock in magic of Pegasus.
So I guess Nalu wanted to be part of our world!
Dame Devin definitely was a bit more evil just because she got rid of Blaire’s mom through setting up a car crash where Blaire was supposed to die as well but she found in front of her adopted moms house
Preminger supremacy!!!!!! Always stan a man who rhymed champagne with Charlemagne. Also I did not know Martin Short voiced him but given that they got Tim Curry for the mouse king I’m also kind of not surprised. Im ngl I’m surprised dame devin is so low considering she arranged for the murder of 2 people (successfully) and a baby, all her own family.
Arianna was violent "then I play crochette with his head!"
That was wild
Also Rothbart is voiced by Kelsey Grammer who plays sideshow Bob in the Simpsons. His voice is so iconic!
He's also the guy who voiced Stinky Pete the Prospector in Toy Story 2.
At the end, He meets Barbie in Amy's backpack.
To me, Preminger is the best villain! He is sassy, smart, have a pretty outfit AND is a good singer. This man is perfect and iconic, entertaining too 😊
My number 2 is Rowenna from Twelve dancing princesses; she has an evil monkey, can manipulate the king AND killed him, she uses the power of the golden flower well, is super severe. This lady is smart and cruel. Her grey dress is ugly but her personality is great! My number 3 is Queen Ariana from Island Princess; she married a rich king then kill him to take his money plus she manipulates her daughter AND tried to kill Prince Antonio by poisoning the wedding cake. Also her rats can hide anywhere and are agile, it's hard to see them doing an evil trick.
Supposedly her husband had a heart condition that he died from if I heard her song right. To me I like to think that she had married him only for the title and power that comes with it and well he died just 3 days after they married. I just think that while she is a evil woman she didn't kill her husband or poison him.
Yessss, those are my top three as well! From what I remember, Rowena actually steals and sells some of the late Queen's silver items (I think it was a cup) to buy the poison she uses on the King. She pretty much succeeded at killing him (I don't think Genevieve or Lacy realized he was dead when they brought the water that ends up "curing" him) and she becomes Queen. From the beginning, she is determined to alienate the princesses from their father and drive a wedge in their relationship. I think she convinces the King in his weak, sickly state to view the princesses as "burdens to him" and that's why they leave. Also, the way she calls the King "dear cousin" is truly disturbing cause you can totally sense her scheming. She is so devious and truly an iconic villain!
@@Special_K1003 true she did buy the poison with a cup that was the late queen's favorite.
As soon as I read the notification, I knew in my heart…. It’s Preminger.
The thumbnail omg 😂😂
I already knew Preminger is number one. He is THE villain of Barbie movies. How could I refuse? 🎶
I loved Dame Devin, honestly, she's one of my favorite Barbie villians, after Preminger of course.
I love how there is a common theme in all of these videos that newer barbie movies tend to be at the bottom
I honestly love Ariana as a villain. Her plan was just so well thought out and when I watched it for the second time, I has to pause to actually take in the lyrics of her song. Her family tried to commit treason, she married a king just to gain the status of queen only for the king to die later because of a heart condition, then planned to commit treason again by poisoning the king, queen, and literally everyone else who was at the wedding.
The Princess And The Pauper is also my best Barbie movie of all time. Dominic, Perminger, Annaliese, Julian, Erika, Erika's boss, everyone is iconic including their pets like it's so beautifully made it's unbelievable, I could watch it a million times. And also I can sing every one of their songs and my favourite is 'if you love me for me'
My Top 5:
1. Preminger (duh)
2. Duchess Rowena (an actual threat and despite wearing only one grey dress pulls it off FLAWLESSLY)
3. Laverna (an ICON let's be real)
4. Dame Devin (another actual threat who also is STUNNINK in her one chartreuse ensemble)
5. Lydia (idc she's a vibe tbh)
Honestly I think Wenlock is second place to Preminger, he just shows up (unpredictably), demands you marry him, and if not he turns you into a horse or turns your loved ones into stone. Or who knows what else he’s done. He’s not motivated by anything but I guess…. Marrying people too young for him? Man’s turned a guy into a literal doormat. He is way op and seems evil just for the sake of being evil.
Your top ten is very solid. Not sure how fairy secret girl was so high, tho, she wasnt even on screen much (the princess filled more of the on-screen powerful villian role tbh). Great list tho! I also liked Secret Door's backstory about her being the only princess w/o magic, in a world where every creature seems to have magic in some form, and this not being her first time stealing it, was interesting
Yeah. I also felt the princess fairy (forgot her name lol) filled the role of a villain more than Crystal.
Would be cool to see you ranking Barbie movie parents
If Preminger wasn’t number one I was gonna be like “who are you and what have you done with Caitlin?” Icon👏
rothbart has always been my fav. like his motives, his DESIGN, his voice it’s just all so good
Smh Malucia deserves better, I Want It All is an iconic bop, and this is coming from someone who didn't even grow up with that movie! Watched it for the first time very recently and Malucia became like, genuinely one of or maybe just straight up my favorite Barbie villain, she's so much fun!!
This is one of the best comments in the history of youtube 💜💜💜
PREMINGER IS VOICED BY THE GUY WHO PLAYS JACK FROST IN THE SANTA CLAUSE MOVIES??? HOW DID I NEVER REALIZE THIS
1) Preminger obv
2) Wenlock (COMPLETE nostalgia, tied fav Barbie film)
wenlock's my favorite barbie movie villain. idk anyone like preminger in real life, but i know ppl like wenlock. it's a realistic and accessible evil to come from a barbie movie; entitled misogynists obsessed with the value of beauty are more comprehensible villains and strike deeper than a villain like agent dunbar or someone, and when a character like wenlock changes his mind? rescinds the offer that's been on the back burner for the protagonist to use as a last resort? an unpredictable villain, going against the plot progressions we're used to/comfy with, that we can see mirrored in real life, is phenomenal character design.
Agree! Wenlock is the kind of evil person you can see in real life. I gave my whole opinion on another comment.
Preminger is by far my favorite, but I am absolutely terrified of bird man and his piggy daughter
When i saw the thumbnail and the title i knew. Also it makes sense.
OH MY GOD THE MOUSE KING.... when i was little he really freaked me out for some reason tbh. the noise he makes when getting knocked out early in the movie and the way his model moved genuinely scared me to the point where i would hide when the first fight scene came on. i now love him. his voice acting makes up for any shortcomings of that movie i stg.
At first I was surprised that the Mouse King was so "low", but when I saw the others on top 10, I thought: "Oh, makes sense." I'm glad you have changed your mind about Ariana. I don't know why, but for some reason I thought that you were going to say "If I saw Rowena in real life, I would run." :D But yeah, your option is relatable too. You've probably remembered already, but her henchman's name is Desmond. Especially your top 3 is amazing. Thank you for this video, it was a joy to watch.
Preminger is top tier, always my favorite, he’s a king, he’s a god, he is life, he’s everything
Preminger is a short king. He's so tiny, but his ego makes up for it.
Lowkey "I want it all" from Open Door is my favorite barbie villain song. It's just so fun.
I love how petty and bratty Malucia is.
The top scorer's voice acting was on another level too, absolutely iconic but legitimately good too
Preminger is of course the number 1. How could he refuse
The fact that Gothel used to scare me as a child, like ACTUALLY scare me
I'm just getting started on watching the video, and I already know Preminger is on number one because he's everywhere on your cover and everyone loves him, especially me.
He makes me, a woman who is not interested in romance, go crazy. He and I will be getting married at our fictional wedding one day.
lydia being so low on the list is an insult
I'm pretty sure the way that Dame Devin murdered Blair's mom was that she caused there to be a car crash and only infant Blair survived. And Rowena's henchman's name is Desmond. I wasn't really that scared of Wenlock when I was little (granted, I only saw "Magic of Pegasus" a few times), but Wenlock grossed my mom out. I didn't understand why he grossed her out but now that I have a full understanding of his motives with forcing first Brietta, then Annika into marriage is kinda gross.
