I can say one thing
Barbie A Mermaid Tale got me and my sister into surfing 🏄♀️
Watched your chaotic videos, could you do one for Clash of the Titans or di-geta Defenders. Please
Remember the vid you made about Slugterra all episodes and movies are actually avaiable on youtube, season 5 and season 6 are just a little tricky to find. All the episodes are in full length.
barbie movies are some of the greatest underated movies ever
Also the storyes are really good.
Ikr!
@@denisapasca154 stories *
Bruh, absolutely not
I agree
Negative is best Barbie girl!
I remember enjoying the visuals of this movie. The ocean is usually less scary in fiction than it is in real life.
Is that a detentionaire pfp I see???
@Cloudmallow Oh gosh the show was amazing 😂. Maybe negative can make video on it some day.
@@cloudmallow3678 Yep! Serpent is of course my favorite character!
no offense, but Negative looks like some Hasbro employee accidentally plugged a Barbie head to a Kent body
@@wilsonweiseng6485 Dang
Wait, so Barbie's mother is queen of the continent of Oceania? As an Australian that's big news.
Same here but hey we got sweet mermaids
Move along kangaroos and koala’s, Barbie is an Australian mermaid confirmed. Our representative.
😂😂😂😭
Before I knew more Geography and heard Oceania was a continent, I was so confused because I kept thinking about the Barbie Movie XD
I WAS JUST THINKING ABOUT THAT LMAO
“When has Barbie *not been a positive role model* ?”
THATS WHAT I’VE BEEN SAYING FOR THE PAST 18 YEARS
If you Google past history of barbie, in the past when she just had One type of doll and more limited jobs she was seen as a ‘bad role model for young girls’ because she was so Looks focused and “ promoted an unhealthy body standard” this is more around the time when like the woman’s movement was really going because Barbie came out in 1959 just one year before the 1960 when the womens movement happened….My grandma didnt like the idea of me having barbies as a kid but still let me play with me and bought them for me but she would also give me long talks about how all Women have different bodies and not all of them will or should have to look like Barbie
@@Myrathosghost I have to respectfully disagree. Prepare yourself, it’s gonna be a long one ahah
There’s no denying that Barbie has had her shady and questionable moments but I do personally believe that it’s the unfortunate thing to happen to most, if not all brands, that continuously exists for over a decade - much less a brand that has managed to stand the test of time for six decades like Barbie has. I grew up completely *obsessed* with Barbie at two and a half years old and not once did I ever consider Barbie as a toxic role model in any way at all - her appearance or otherwise. I didn’t have consistent friends as a kid and always jumped from different people trying to find some sort of validation and at home only older brothers and busy parents so I looked up to the Barbie imagine as an older sister/young aunty to admire and look up to so I am admittedly biased about this topic regardless.
However, over the last sixty years Barbie as a brand has grown to become inclusive and diverse. There’s a reason why Barbie hasn’t died out like other toy lines - I’ll recommend Negative Legends video on What Happened to Barbie since he explains it so much better than I could in text. As for the controversy about people trying to look like the doll I can say with full confidence that “The Barbie look” people either hype up or downcast upon actually *isn’t* a look Barbie herself has ever attempted at all. Society *thinks* that’s what Barbie looks like when in reality they probably never looked into the toy stores since they were little kids so it’s much easier to go by whatever others say.
Lastly, I’ll have to again disagree about the argument about Barbie’s imagine being unrealistic and harmful - Barbie is complete fiction and made of plastic so it makes more sense for the company to come up with an in between of cartoon-like and unique subtly of looking close to real women - especially in comparison to other doll lines that have existed such as Bratz, Monster High and LOL Surprise. Barbie isn’t actually real so I never had a problem thinking I ever had to look like her.
Yes there has been small hiccups in the past - however having either ignorant workers for the brand or what was considered popular at the time has a part to play. Barbie to me has always held up the picture of being kind and yourself while able to be whatever and whomever you want to be regardless of what anyone else thinks - hence their motto “you can be anything” and Barbie having qualifications in ever single career known to human-kind being the joke of the brand lol. It’s about the meaning that counts.
But that’s also just how I feel and have always interpreted it in the past 18 years.
@@Myrathosghost Someone should have told your grandma that kids only care about playing. What kind of 6 year old looks at Barbie and goes "I wanna look like her"? Unless, of course, they were raised in a toxic environment, in which case it's the family's fault and not the brand's.
@@oanayu definitely agree with you! It’s no difference than a young child comparing themselves to a cartoon Disney Princess or curvy characters from 90s cartoon shows (Powerpuff Girls’ Miss Bellum and Dexters Laboratory’s mum and Jessica Rabbit?). They are not real and don’t reflect the actual human body whatsoever and everyone knows there is no point to compare, so the same thing needs to also go to Barbie. As you said, unless something toxic is happening behind the scenes, kids will not care how Barbie looks and only care about the stories they can come up with by using their imagination.
The first Barbies weren't positive role models but the more the dolls became popular and they started making movies, the more Barbie became the awesome icon we know her as today.
I recommend Barbie Island Princess because it has two villain songs. One titled “Love is for Peasants” and the other one sang by a trio of mice about how much they love cheese.
Could you be so kind and tell me what the cheese song is called?
The words "Love is for the Peasants" have the weirdest energy. It reeks of arrogance, but also worthy of pity.
whenever I’m drunk I always have a habit of showing people the cheese song and it’s just amazing
@@mrsscreamgirl5332 it’s called “The Rat Song” ahah. Barbie doesn’t have the older songs on Spotify 🥲 but there is a cover from Sierra Nelson and she’s absolutely amazing.
I’m about sold on this now
I wanna see that
I really want him to cover the Fairytopia series because admittedly a majority of the Barbie fairy movies are not bad
Edit: damn like thanks guys never knew there were so many Barbie fans really hope Negative Legend gets back to covering the Barbie movies.
Honestly most Barbie movies aren't bad
They really aren't. Like I watched them expected them to be and was surprised
Heck ya! Also I've seen alot of people compare the Fairytopia series to connections with the LGBTQ+ & see what they think about that or if they have the same views.
The 2000's era especially holds a *vast* amount of classics. 💖
Those are still my favorite tbh
I remember staring at Barbie in the poster for an uncomfortably long time when I was like 9 years old
SAAAAAAAAME. I watched that movie way too much
I slept with that DVD in my bed. I should’ve known.
Theory idea: what if barbies friends are mermaids, and were sent to protect her with her adoptive father?
Possibly,albeit that her adoptive father is actually her gramps,actually..
it would have been really cool! But I think we would've known if they were by the end of the movie or even before that, since everyone seemed to be cool about letting know Merlia she was a mermaid
Too close to Fairy Secret
I had the doll for this movie. She had a surfer outfit that was reversible and changed into her mermaid tail.
Same, love that doll
omg I had it too I loved it so much! And her hair would change color with warm water
I had it too! It was my favourite doll, but I lost it :(
Same, me too. I had 2 surfer barbies, 1 with the mermaid tail and one regular barbie that happens to be a surfer and for some reason she smelled like sunscreen and I loved her
me too
Bro, I was OBSESSED with Barbie in a Mermaid Tale back in my early elementary school days. I had the book, all the swimsuit and Mermaid dolls, and you better believe I had that ish on DVD 😤❤
I believe that the Mermaid Doll's tail/fin would change color in cold water as well as piece of it's hair. I thought that was the coolest thing ever
I had one of the dolls from this movie where the hoodie she wears in the beginning is reversible and pulls down to turn into a tail, it was cute and fun.
@@abbyp9394 that kinda reminded me of the Princess Barbie and the Rockstar dolls (idk the actual name of the movie). The dolls would be dressed as Princesses and then you could flip their dress to change into a Rockstar outfit. The dolls also had a button what made it sing something from the movie, those were my favorite kind of dolls
This was my childhood
@@nevaeh9125 they were so creative with their dolls. Like Genevieve's spinning skirt from 12 dancing princesses. But i'm still sad they didn't make ken dolls from the Golden Statue princes from that secret enchanted ballroom in 12 dancing princesses. Since they were gold from top to bottom, they would have made fine partners for any barbie dolls, better than ken.
the consumerism is real but it’s all just so pretty
Speaking of Barbie Movies i'd specifically metion Diamond Castle for its GORGEOUS songs (Barbie movie songs, and especially the older ones,were all very good in general) and The Magic of Pegasus as the most visually pretty one (imo) + the villain that feels like Rasputin from Anastasia and Jaffar from Aladdin melted together is a total simp material, ngl
Not the simping for wedlock i- 😭😭
I loved those when i was a kid, still mad at my dumb teen self for throwing the DVDs away
diamond castle supremacy👑
CONECTEEEEEED
Diamond castle RLLY started to get me into barbie music
IM BLINDFOLDED ON THIS CARRIAGE RIDE
THAT THEY CALL LIFE!!!!
She's the Queen of the waveeeave~
My favorite barbie song
Same here!
Check it out she spinning that board around
Queen of the waaaaves~~~
No ones gonna take away her crown
Sameee
Still confused how Merlia was even born even after all these years...
through egg dispersion...??like a fish??i think???so her dad had to shoot through water-
She's got some pretty powerful magic, I'm sure she's able to create legs for herself, even they were temporary and not really functional since she probably doesn't know how to walk, they get the job done.
They covered that in the second movie
if I remember correctly🤔
But "SPOILER ALERT" I guess?😆😅😉
.
.
.
Her mom (the queen Calissa or what's her name) told Barbie (aka Merlia) that she was able to turn from mermaid to human as well (thanks to that strong royal mermaid magic of hers) So she was able to turn human and on the land she met Merlias' father (it's told that leter in their relationship he died in an accident of some sort ¿before? Merlia was born I think...🤔I am not 100% sure about this but oh well😅)
- then the story line goes with the part when she was forced to gave their daughter to Merlias' human grandpa when Oceania was too dangerous for the little princess (as the first movie explains somewher in the beginning of it)
- And there we are back with the flashback/explanation from the second movie where queen Calissa tells her daughter she lost the ability to turn human after her coronation (whitch is this kind of cool ritual with few special shells, mermaid ambassadress and magical throne of some sort) hence, she had to stay in Oceania as a full-time mermaid ruler leaving her beloved human part of the new queens' family on the land. And that it is possible that when Merlia sits upon the magical throne in her mothers' place it will take her human legs as well...
And so goes the continuation of the second movie...
.
.
.
For those who want to know the ending:
the fight between bad guys and good guys happens, as always Barbie wins so Merlia is now the new queen of Oceania that can control the power of ocean or whatever but she loses her human legs in the process... but not for long, as Merlia wishes to have them back so she has (because it is a Barbie movie and Barbie movies don't have sad endings I guess...)
@@Roi4Nekoshi i thought she was able to bear a child like that because she's a mammal in some soft of way but i guess that would not work
I'd say mers are aquatic mammals, so basically Merlia's dad f***ed a porpoise.
Actually, i think the tails that are sold by mermaids are not actual tails, they're probably just form-fitting skirts that also cover the fins. And the old guy, named Break, is Merliah's (Barbie's) grandfather. Other than that, I enjoyed the review, Mermaid Tale is one of the better movies of the 2010s.
Is anyone else hearing Trixie from mlp when Eres speaks? That would be hilarious since the character this barbie actress plays in that show is best friends with her
You're not alone lol
Yep, same actress; Kathleen Barr is a voice-acting queen & has been in nearly every Barbie movie, especially throughout the 2000's era. 👑
Actually a lot of the mlp voice actors are in this
Barbie - starlight glimmer
Dolphin - Rarity/Luna
The destinies - Pinkie pie/ flutter shy
Eris - Trixie
The mom I forgot the name of - Celestia
@@thecursedpotato6561 huh, go figure. Thought I recognised the destinies too
I feel like i heard Auriana from the dolphin (lolirock) 😂
One of my favorites second only to princess charm school
Same 👑😍💖💖💖
100% agree
Yeah childhood nostalgia~
thats the goat
Not gonna lie, I'm *kind* *of* disappointed about you skipping around & not going in chronological release order with these films (you started with 2001's Nutcracker, the franchise catalyst, but skipped onto Mermaid Tale which wasn't until 2010) but I humbly appreciate seeing another Barbie video from you regardless. I was wondering whether or not you'd do more. 😊✨
I mean, most of the barbie movies were not really connected to each other unless you count some sequels or the fact that barbie acted all of the movies-
The movies arent even related-
@@kaesyo2966 they're not, but it's very interesting watching them back to back regardless. You can observe certain aspects of the movies falling apart, trends emerging and dying, reuse of assets, etc.
I do a Barbie movie marathon once a year when I visit Friends in my home country 🙆
@@3rebella the only thing that connects them is Barbie and the money Mattel rakes in from her existing
this movie was on repeat in my house. me and my two little sisters would watch it so much that my dad said we couldn’t watch it anymore around him
🤣 this is gold
You've GOTTA do Princess And The Pauper, I'm sure many have asked already
They actually reviewed in the “What happened to Barbie” video!
I'm so happy that your doing my fav barbie movie. I still remember going to the beach as a little girl and screaming *"I wish to become a mermaid!"* Underwater.
Oh my nostalgia has started, I used to love watch the Barbie mermaids when I was a kid.
Hope you'll make another video for the second Barbie mermaid movie!
T-There is a second one?? My childhood isn’t completed yet 😱
@@eu4083 Yeah I definitely remember there being a second one, I just don't remember the name for it. 😅
@@roseberry7797 the second one is called Barbie in A Mermaid Tale 2. I have both of them on DVD
Weirdly enough I somehow still remember what happened in each Barbie movie I saw as a kid when they aired for the first time to this day (and I didn't watched any of them over 10 years now😆😅🤣) and Barbie in a Mermaid tale 1 and 2 are one of them - the nostalgia is just 💗🥲😸
@@brooksiebear19II I had the first one
How I thought the whole tail thing worked was that mermaids are born with tails of specific colors and if they want a different color tail they put on another one made out of fabric or coral or something over the tail they were born with
"The girls were all obsessed with shopping"
Merliah Summers: Am I a joke to you
barbie is such a cutie in this movie!! mermaid tale is SO good, it's my favorite of the mermaid barbie movies
_"Because why would you just want people to watch one ad when they could watch TEN??"_
*laughs in RUclips Premium because ads are annoying but I want to support creators and not use AdBlock on here*
...Anyway, I always forget how poorly animated old Barbie movies look, but they had something good going for the time, so it's okay. This movie wasn't one of my favorites - I always liked the fairies more - but it has it's own flair. Good message of accepting your own differences... Don't have much to say about this one. It's just eh to me.
Yk what mer-makes my day? Your fabulous hair and enthusiasm in EVERY SINGLE VIDEO
Barbie: The Island Princess:
The music is honestly really good for the two main characters, them being Ro and the prince. Though the plot is very cliché, and the animal sidekicks are hit or miss
Princess & the Pauper: People always say it's the best one in the series, hands down. I've only seen it once, but I've seriously been searching for it for years.
Barbie & Pegasus: Honestly a really interesting story. Barbie has a very sassy personality, and the two don't just fall in love at first sight. The animal sidekicks is adorable as well. :)
Honestly I love the fact that somebody talks about the movies that defined my childhood. Much appreciated content!
If you're gonna review anymore Barbie movies, I feel like the most interesting choices would be fashion fairytale, and Island princess. Mainly because those are some of the more interesting ones in my opinion.
I’d recommend checking out the Ni No Kuni series!
It’s a game franchise by Level 5, with the first game featuring animation by Studio Ghibli!
It isn’t too well known outside of Japan, so I think it’d be fun to talk about, especially with the 2nd game coming our on switch soon!
Ni no Kuni is such a fun game! I love especially the first game of the series!
I thought Level 5 wasn’t localizing games anymore, though.
@@Pixie_Shmixie Level 5 isn't anymore, but Ni No Kuni (both games) came out well before that decision was made.
M488 Thunderbird yeah! That’s actually how I originally found out about it actually haha
Yo, this would be dope. By far, one of my favorite RPGs.
I used to love this movie, its one of the really fun ones. For recommendations, id say Princess charm school is another fun modern one, and Magic of Pegasus is the only of the classic princess ones that isn't based on a fairytale. Also Rapunzel is really good.
"Why watch one ad when you can watch Ten!" That face when you said ten is my new religion
I loved the barbie movies as a kid. As a 25 year old, I still love them especially the fairy ones❤
about the tail thing I always thought the merpeople would just cover their actual tails with "clothing" tails over them, just for the sake of fashion, idk like the same way we wear pants
Ok but they should cover “Barbie In A Mermaid Tale 2” cause it’s actually better! I can’t believe it was rated a one for education when it actually teaches such a nice life lesson.
Your surfer dude voice was fantastic! Mondo cool even!
I just see merliah’s mom as aqua celestia since they have the same voice actor XD
DUDE; I'm so glad you made this video, your one of the few youtuber s who doesn't douse their content in a million asterisks to make their audience feel intelligent when they don't understand something. Plus I love the content you review :D
The way I INSTANTLY looked at my notification!! Thank you so much for the continued barbie love, I know of course I’m not done with the video, but I really have appreciated your latest vids ✨✨✨
edits on the video: absolutely recommend pearl princess as a new barbie movie, is actually pretty good and does give me nostalgic vibes to the older ones! And PLEASE, the way that song slaps when they be stealin the necklace mcguffin
"Barbie in a Mermaid Tale" also has a sequel. Maybe you'd like to watch that one too. It wasn't as good as the first movie, though 🤷🏻♀️
But if you enjoyed this movie, I'm sure you'd like the "Barbie - Fairytopia" series too. The series consists of 3 movies the first one being "Fairytopia", starring Elina (Barbie) a fairy without any wings who has to save the fairy kingdom from a mysterious disease that makes all other fairies lose their ability to fly, the second movie is called "Mermaidia", where Elina has to transform into a mermaid to save Mermaidia, the mermaid kingdom of Fairytopia and the last movie is called "Fairytopia - the Magic of Rainbow", where Elina is chosen to become the student of one of the guardian fairies and learn a special peace keeping dance at a school, together with the other guardian students. I think it would be very cool if you'd make a video reviewing those. Those movies are from the early 2000's, but I still think they're among the better Barbie movies and I really enjoyed them when I was a kid ^^
omg I loved this movie so much as a kid! childhood gender dysphoria really made me avoid most barbie content, but not even that could stop from loving the mermaid tale and the 12 dancing princesses movies. man they're so surprisingly good and fun.
now why was i tearing up during negative's description of the plot
No samw
Not sure what they were talking about when they said no education. I learned the word navigate with that movie. Was proud when the teacher was impressed with my big boi words. U-U
Man, I remember the sequel to this movie and wanted to eat that goop dish Barbie's friend was eating. I swear the character makes it seem like it's the god of foods.
This movie will forever be one of fav barbie films princess charm school might be my no1
Me too ( it's 2 princess charm school is 1)
i remember being completely gobsmacked when, in Barbie: a fashion fairytale, they reveal barbie was acting the role of ‘merliah’ in a mermaid’s tale and how she decides to quit the acting scene. this story is then continued throughout a fashion fairytale lol
I remember watching this one Easter and loving it so much, I’m fond of mermaid stories and this is a pretty good one imo! It has the right balance of cheesiness, tension, and heart!
Oh, and Eris is voiced by the same actress who voiced Trixie in My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic!
I was waiting for my favorite part when Barbie discovers that she can do "water manna" and is so amazed that she forgets about the competition. And I didn't see it
7:24 I never noticed the reference to Blooming dales here so cool
As an Aussie, the accents killed me.
i loved this as a kid and one day as a joke my sisters, cousin and i watched and we were all shook at how good it actually was (not perfect but still entertaining enough)
This was one of my favorites! I also likes a fairy secret, and a fashion fairytale. If you decide to watch then watch a fairy secret first sense if I remember correctly their connected
This was one of those movies I was OBSESSED with as a kid. Honestly, I feel like I watched it atleast 20 times when I was younger. The nostalgia on this one 😥
“I’m already blonde with blue eyes so I’m already half way there” that cracked me up. 😂😂
I really loved the riddles. They sound confusing but when they figure out the solutions it all made sense.
There’s actually a sequel to this movie that you should watch too!
Yay! Now do the sequel! This was my favorite Barbie movie out of the few that I managed to see. The Twins Princesses of Legendale was also something that kept me occupied as a kid. Oh! A "What Happened Lalaloopsy?" video would be cool too.
This was my favourite movie series when I was a kid
tbh, this movie was my life, played every game, had it on vhs dvd ect... I watched it every day and on Sundays twice. I tend to go back to the movie a few times a year. I love this movie, but its probably just nostalgia.
What's good? It's almost 9 am and I've already had my existential crisis for the day, freaking mood
The sequel is better. You cant change my mind
I totally agree dude
Did yall realise that when(in some not all) barbies mom is in the movie shes called another name and when she's not shes called barbie
I've been watching barbie forever and I have only realized that now
This was my favourite Barbie movie when I was younger. My little sister really liked it too.
2:45 is where the video actually begins
My daughter LOVES this one! I always am surprised at how surprisingly decent a lot of Barbie movies and series are. Quite a few rival a lot of the big animation studio films. We do stan Barbie!
Negative, I BEG OF YOU to watch Barbie and the Twelve Dancing Princesses. It is so good. One of the best movies ever made I'm 100% serious.
hilarious surfer dude impression!
Is it weird for me to say this was my favourite Barbie movie growing up
I absolutely LOVED THIS video because Barbie and Barbie Movies in General were a big part of my childhood 😭❤️
And i remember watching BOTH Barbie in a mermaid tale 1 and 2 as a kid
Bassicly my 2 favorite things mashed together
Negative legend and Barbie Movies ❤️
This and the sequel are my favorite Barbie movies I don’t care what anyone says I’m not changing my mind. Thee amount of serotonin I get just by looking at it is unmatched
I used to watch this movie everyday back in nigeria literally
common sense media is literally hilarious.. you should see how they rate yugioh
They hate most anime’s too
Can you cover the other seasons of winx? I want to see what you think of the second and third seasons
This is my favorite Barbie movie. I loved it so much as a kid I bought all the merch and the Sequel DVD!
Dude, you’re genuinely so enjoyable to watch.
I watched it yesterday and was surprised too - it was better than I remember. The "accepting that you're different" thing was done pretty well. But there's one thing in which I have to agree with Commom Sense Media (I hate to say this xD): Everyone in this movie is into fashion and stuff! It's okay if characters like fashion, but when it's every girl in a story, that's kinda problematic, because it says "Every girl is into that! Oh, you're not? Then something must be wrong with you."
It’s 2 am and I have online school tomorrow (thanks COVID) so I can’t watch this now cause all your videos give me a little healthy boost of adrenaline and I need to sleep!!!
Remember the ads for the dolls of this? Their hair was also turned different color when you got it wet. As a kid I thought it was pretty rad.
The fairytopia movies were my life as a child, but these ones were also huge especially during the summer when it was swimming time.
As soon as I saw that thumbnail I started smiling. Hell yea brother, that’s a great movie.
I hope you'll keep reviewing the barbie movies, its nice to hear someone else's opinions on them(you briefly reviewing the princess and the pauper finally got me to watch it and oh my God it was soo good). I would suggest you either do Barbie in a Christmas Carol(its an interesting retelling of that story) or Barbie in Princess Charm School. Also another review suggestion completely unrelated to barbie: Ojamajo Doremi(Also known as Magical Doremi in english) it was an anime that got picked up by 4kids but only the first season ever got dubbed. Its a good show and recently had a movie release that gave me WAY more feelings than if had any right to.
Thank👏you👏. It's so nice having someone support girls who like things that were/are stereotyped as "girl" stuff. Some people are so determined to not have women/girls be told they can only like "girly" things that they see any girl that likes "girly" things as an enemy.
Okay I haven't even watched 1 second of this but I just wanna say, this movie was my childhood, I watched it at least 30 times on every road trip we had. Thank you for remembering it.
I loveeddd this movie as a kid! I had the dolls and was amazed by the hair changing. I still wish my hair did that
I remember back in spring of 2010, going to the store with my dad to bye this movie, I miss those days
The consumerism definitely worked for me I had both movies and had a doll from the second movie we a tail that you could take on and off with colour changing hair and it was my favourite doll ever
This was one of my favorite barbie movies growing up, my sister even had the dolls with the changing color hair lol.
i was obsessed with this movie when i was little lol
The celestial comb is a weird one because it seems to me imply the mermaids used to either be able to transform into humans or it was a human who stole the comb and hide it or something
Yooo here’s my recommendations:
Barbie in a Mermaid Tale 2
Barbie: Princess Charm School
Barbie as the Princess and the Pauper
(These were definitely my favourite movies)
Ohhohhh u could also do some bratz movies like:
Bratz Fashion Pixiez (this one definitely had some type of symbolism about drug use) - also a theory I believe
Oh and Bratz Rock Angelz is a classic bratz movie or Bratz Forever Diamonds
For a solid second I thought this was about the other Barbie Mermaid Movie (tm) where she gets a brunette girlfriend and saves some rainbow dolphins. But this one's good too!
When I was a kid I watched every Barbie movie, there is even one that probably wasn't even official because I couldn't find it anywhere.
This was my favorite movie once-
Yup the nostalgia is kicking in...😶
i am doing an english presentation about how this movie has allusions to the odyssey i’m watching this video to find the name of the magic plant thingy that calissa weaves
I literally just got part 1 and 2. I really enjoyed them. I also got fairytopia, Mariposa, and Thumbelina set. I still have to watch those
you just gave me the best idea for a creepy story / animation.
PLEASE do the second movie!! it's really good!
I had a picture book of the mermaid tale (and the second one I think?) along with the DVD so definitely has a special place in my heart.
