Even though I disagree a lot with your lower ranking ones but I like hearing what people who have no nostalgia connected to the movies giving a completely unbiased opinion about what they think of them because most commentators who have done this give the reason "I loved this so much as a kid and I couldn't part with it." rather than actual criticism. It was really refreshing to hear, something that's both respectful to people who grew up with it and take comfort in periodically rewatching the movies but also honest and really funny to watch. It inspires me to make my own personal ranking of all of them, though I couldn't be unbiased. (Barbie And The Three Musketeers was my favorite one and I'm happy your ranking actually did it some justice unlike other videos). Also I agree that the random cannon shift was weird but it was Barbie's way of still somehow remaining relevant in the age of social media. Definitely not my favorite decision that they made because it makes movies from that point onward confusing and limited as to what they could do.
I love you so much for ranking Charm School so high! It's one of my favorites. I literally quote "How dare she... I wanted that cake." like all the time. Like can we also take a moment to appreciate how that movie has a straight up MURDERS PLOT POINT?? Like BRO
Something I love about barbie movies is how different people's preferences are with them. My favorite movie is Magic of the Pegasus, but I actually don't enjoy Swan Lake as much. I really loved your video!
you should have way more views!!!! i appreciate your opinions because you didn’t grow up with them so you are way more objective, most posts are more about which ones people are more nostalgic about. much love!!!!
I’m so happy I grew up with Barbie movies since I don’t see things magical as I was a kid anymore. The Diamond Castle holds a deep place in my heart! I also like Princess and the Pauper, Swan Lake, Nutcracker, Mariposa and Pegasus
I actually like the inclusion of Barbie's parents. I feel like so often in children's/teen media parents/caregivers are portrayed as either A. Dead , B. Absent , C. Monsters , D. Annoying helicopter parents who stop their kids from any and all life experiences or E. A terrible pick n mix of the above. A big portion of age and growing up is creating your own identity and stepping away from your parents. But having media that tells kids that your caregivers are the enemy and "they don't get it" doesn't help. At best it contributes to the isolation of kids/teens from their families. At worst it puts kids in unsafe situations that they can't get out of because they don't feel like they can come to their caregivers. This is why they made snuffleupagus real - because they didn't want kids to feel deterred in sharing information with the trusted adults in their lives. Now let me make it clear - that doesn't mean caregivers have to be in every children's/teen story nor does it mean that caregivers have to be portrayed as never having any faults. However I think seeing caregivers who are involved and support their kids dreams is good for kids as it shows them "hey your parents/caregivers may not be perfect and you won't always see eye to eye but at the end of the day they love and care about you."
YES!! wow. i'm so glad that you didn't aim to please the nostalgia-lovers who usually view these videos. obviously the princess and the pauper should always be at/near the top of any ranking, but i'm glad you ranked the others like rapunzel and the magic of pegasus lower according to your honest opinion. i've seen way too many reviewers be like omg rapunzel was awesome!! 3rd place :) and then they actually review it and i'm like... you really didn't actually like the movie that much, did you. this was a pleasure to watch!
While my sister was going through her first divorce I would watch my niece while my sister was at work. She always wanted to watch the Barbie movies. 'd watch them with her and I was surprised they were better than I thought they'd be. Not cinematic masterpieces, but entertaining
Finally someone who appreciates barbie starlight adventures, i think its the best barbie movies by far, and i think people who arent familiarized with bcu tend to rate this higher, while people who are tend to ignore or dislike, i think is probably these people are too attached to princess and fairytale barbie movies
omg! There are 42 Barbie movies?!?! Some of these movies had a huge impact on me as a kid! I am very nostalgic for Princess Charm School, Rapunzel, Princess and the Pauper, Fairytopia, Fairytopia Mermaidia, 12 Dancing Princesses, A Mermaid Tale 1 and 2, Barbie in the Nutcracker, and Swan Lake especially.
it's safe to say by my username that i am not pleased with what is the lowest ranked movie in this list. it is also safe to say by my profile picture that i am pleased with what the #1 ranked movie is though.
Fun Fact: Pearl Princess is the only Barbie animated that was first introduced on selected cinemas which resulted on schedule changes of its release and Barbie in the Secret Door.
barbie starlight adventure has 'shooting star' which is my guilty pleasure song. I am in college now and i watched that movie years ago when it came out with my younger sister and i vividly remember listening to the song and feeling inspired. now its literally a joke with my friends that we are all grown men and genuinely love a barbie song. glad it got placed high.
I feel so relieved that the only Barbie movies I remember from my youth are Swan Lake, Princess and the Pauper, and Mermadia. I guess I didn't really miss out
This video was such a great introduction to your channel honestly! As someone who grew up with the Barbie cinematic universe it's always so nice seeing it appreciated like this
Awesome ranking, Dolphin Magic is pretty underrated to me and would make my Top 5. The recent live action Barbie movie would be my favourite but my favourite animated one would have to be Nutcracker!
I really enjoyed your reviews of these Barbie movies! I haven't checked out any Barbie movie releases since 2013/4, but maybe I'll see Starlight Adventure.
in princess and the Popstar the speech Tori has to make at the end she talks about what to do to help the poor people in her kingdom so she does do something adout it
Im glad Three Musketeers is getting more recognition!! Three Musketeers is my favorite Barbie movie and is the reason i LOVE The Three Musketeers in general. Ive read the book and watched every Three Musketeers TV Show and movie made!
really enjoyed this, just started watching the old movies again, will definitely check out the fairytopia triology, the sci-fi one and the princess and the pauper :D
Subjectively it's Barbie Diamond Castle, but objectively thinking I think Barbie Swan Lake is a masterpiece, the classiest Barbie movie. The music, the plot, the characters and the whole development of a character is just amazing.
also ik you said that you won’t watch the barbie life in the dream house tv show, it’s only 2 seasons and very quick but also hilarious if you’re ever bored and are needing something on in the background
I love how Barbie has a great friendship with the other girls in the movies without it havent to be seen as Romantic. This helped me grow up loving hugging, holding friends hands without being judged.
i loved this video, like so many people already mentioned, its so cool n fun just seeing an unbiased perspective!! and even tough i dont agree with a big part of these, the fact u put mermaidia as the first, YOU ARE SO RIGHT and your taste is splendid!!!
Excuse me, you put pegasus at 20, did you forget the state of the art bestestests new 3d animation technology with super cool paper glasses!!!! Just the amount of fights I had with my sister at birthdays which one of us would watch the movie with our friends since there were only 4 glasses.........
Oh don’t you worry I am also baffled by my pronunciation of his name, let’s chalk it up to me having to record far too much voice-over and just slipping there, I’m so sorry to Preminger, my boy.
Mariposa 2 being placed under Perfect Christmas (and all of the current gen films...) may be cause for a dislike already but I'll stick it out and see if the Gen 1 opinions change my stance.
Barbie the island princess being that low made me literally go “noooooo😢” but i get that most of my love for it it’s nostalgia, i never even cared about her looks, i just found to be such a magic movie, the music it’s just chefs kiss, and THE PEACOCK CMOOOON the GOAT!!
I personally like the new barbie style but it won't take me from the older barbie styles like princess and the pauper. which happens to be my favorite. and now that you mention it, I think the first-time barbie parents where shown was in dreamhouse adventures. Weird. Lol. that's something I never noticed.
22:38 I watched this one as a kid. I couldn't get into it. The dogs were fine, I guess. Some of the jokes were amusing. But I don't have nostalgia for it. Nor do I relate to any of the characters. EDIT: YOU PUT THIS ABOVE A MERMAID TALE! WE GONNA HAVE WORDS!!!!!
You can currently get all 4 seasons on Blu-Ray (the set I have) for £20 from Amazon or HMV (If you're in the UK, I don't know about availability in other regions)
I would rate Barbie a Christmas Carol higher solely because they try to grabble with dark concepts as opposed to the newer movies having little character variation personality wise & having the storylines be more plain.
10:09 THANK GOD I DON'T HAVE NOSTALGIA FOR THIS ONE! My parents showed me the good iterations of A Christmas Carol. I've never seen this one! And never will. Thank you for showing me which Barbie movies to avoid for all eternity!
I watched nearly every Barbie movie, born in 2006 and watched even some of the newest ones when they came out. They are so responsible for my mental illness (or maybe my mental illnesses are responsible for them).
Tika from Island Princess is so toxic . They say Rachelle is a toxic character but in my opinion , she's just brutally honest. Tika is the most toxic friendship in all Barbie movies
Well i think i need lessons on how tell the difference between friendship and ‘romance’ subtext because I’m bad at recognising it unlike it’s obvious it pointed out to me 😅

Did I watch the entire video despite having only seen Nutcracker, Rapunzel, Princess and the Pauper, and Barbie & the rockers? Yes, yes I did.
I haven't seen any of them lmao 😭 I'm here for bibble and cos of the barrage of compilations youtube has sent 💀
Idk the Fairytopia series is a must watch
I love you so much for ranking Charm School so high! It's one of my favorites. I literally quote "How dare she... I wanted that cake." like all the time. Like can we also take a moment to appreciate how that movie has a straight up MURDERS PLOT POINT?? Like BRO

Just remind what sapphic is again 🤔

I heard Stacie will get her own movie in 2024 which is awesome as to me she's the most underrated of Barbie's sisters!
Cool!
I don't know and I don't care
Your Rapunzel critiques were valid but my nostalgic feelings are still hurt it's so low.
i thought this video had like a THOUSAND views. so good. love Barbie.
omg! There are 42 Barbie movies?!?! Some of these movies had a huge impact on me as a kid! I am very nostalgic for Princess Charm School, Rapunzel, Princess and the Pauper, Fairytopia, Fairytopia Mermaidia, 12 Dancing Princesses, A Mermaid Tale 1 and 2, Barbie in the Nutcracker, and Swan Lake especially.
Thank you for sharing my love of Bibble! I literally named my pet chinchilla Bibble 🙃
it's safe to say by my username that i am not pleased with what is the lowest ranked movie in this list. it is also safe to say by my profile picture that i am pleased with what the #1 ranked movie is though.
FINALLY SOMEONE APPRECIATES STAR LIGHT ADVENTURE FOR THE GORGEOUSLY ANIMATED SAPPHIC SPACE ROMANCE IT IS

I'm so glad that I mostly grew up with the barbie movies between 2001 and 2010 cause they were literally peak bcu and they are literally my childhood.
I’ve never seen someone put princess and the popstar so high up! Interesting video :D
Awesome ranking, Dolphin Magic is pretty underrated to me and would make my Top 5. The recent live action Barbie movie would be my favourite but my favourite animated one would have to be Nutcracker!
YESSS FINALLY GOVING LOVE TO PRINCESS CHARMSCHOOL

You did Barbie Diary so dirty!!!! It's a product of It's time in the best way.
Omg you including Barbie and the Rockers that was literally my childhood but it's so niche no one ever includes it in the BCU thank you so much
Dude you have good quality content and you seem great, i hope you get more recognition
Subjectively it's Barbie Diamond Castle, but objectively thinking I think Barbie Swan Lake is a masterpiece, the classiest Barbie movie. The music, the plot, the characters and the whole development of a character is just amazing.
For a second, I thought Harry Styles was ranking the barbie movies
THE FOOT CENSORSHIP HAHAHA
Whoa, love the shirt! 😮
So stylish
13:54 If I see one movie put higher than A Mermaid Tale that shouldn't be I'ma have words!
Even a man who has 0 nostalgic ties to Barbie movies can recognize the importance and iconicity of Kelly Sheridan as Barbie. Kudos.
also ik you said that you won’t watch the barbie life in the dream house tv show, it’s only 2 seasons and very quick but also hilarious if you’re ever bored and are needing something on in the background
I love how Barbie has a great friendship with the other girls in the movies without it havent to be seen as Romantic. This helped me grow up loving hugging, holding friends hands without being judged.
Barbie rapunzel really shoulda been top 5
this is such a fun videoo, amazing work!
I’m so glad someone finally ranked Star Light Adventure as highly as it deserves.
i loved this video, like so many people already mentioned, its so cool n fun just seeing an unbiased perspective!! and even tough i dont agree with a big part of these, the fact u put mermaidia as the first, YOU ARE SO RIGHT and your taste is splendid!!!
Excuse me, you put pegasus at 20, did you forget the state of the art bestestests new 3d animation technology with super cool paper glasses!!!!
Just the amount of fights I had with my sister at birthdays which one of us would watch the movie with our friends since there were only 4 glasses.........
Putting 12 dancing princesses, magic of pegasus , nutcracker , island princess so low is a crime these deserve top 10
15:05 Anytime you say "Side-kick" I hear "Psychic" and have to correct my brain.
i NEEDED this. Thanks💚
Btw why u pronouncing Premmy like thaaat😭
Oh don’t you worry I am also baffled by my pronunciation of his name, let’s chalk it up to me having to record far too much voice-over and just slipping there, I’m so sorry to Preminger, my boy.
love that this is the 2nd channel ive watch where the clear just dance ad is getting made fun of lol
Mariposa 2 being placed under Perfect Christmas (and all of the current gen films...) may be cause for a dislike already but I'll stick it out and see if the Gen 1 opinions change my stance.
16:26 I LOVE BIBBLE! I was worried you were gonna diss him! HAHAHA! Thank God you like Bibble!
rapunzel and magic of pegasus being so low is a crime
Barbie is literally, like, her sisters' parent. She plays the role throughout the movies and shows. Why the hell did they mention her parents augh
barbie NEEDS to release a movie where they finally admit barbie is gay and give her a lesbian love interest
Barbie in a Mermaid Tale is one of my favorites though it could be solely based on nostalgia.
exactly it captures the early 2010s summer nostalgia with the tech and the magic and… it’s just a refreshing break from everything
nobody appreciates Starlight Adventure enough, thank you
thank you for understanding how AMAZING mermaidia is
Leaving a comment here to boost the video. Not enough comments for this amazing ranking.
One of my fav old baroboe movies was the barbie repunzle
Barbie *
I’m commenting before watching the whole video but princess and the pauper better be #1
i just love barbie diaries w all my heart.
Me too was sad to see it ranked so low
I have recurring dreams where all the crashfish in Subnautica are replaced by immortal clones of bibble and I live with that rent free in my head
33:54 Really?! You didn't like the unicorn?! I LOVE HER!!!!!
Barbie the island princess being that low made me literally go “noooooo😢” but i get that most of my love for it it’s nostalgia, i never even cared about her looks, i just found to be such a magic movie, the music it’s just chefs kiss, and THE PEACOCK CMOOOON the GOAT!!

Barbie Princess and the pauper is the best Barbies movie ever for me ❤❤❤
I hate the animal sidekicks, thank you for mentioning them
22:38 I watched this one as a kid. I couldn't get into it. The dogs were fine, I guess. Some of the jokes were amusing. But I don't have nostalgia for it. Nor do I relate to any of the characters.
EDIT: YOU PUT THIS ABOVE A MERMAID TALE! WE GONNA HAVE WORDS!!!!!
I have not watched Barbie Dreamhouse Adventures but Barbie Life in the dreamhouse is a really good funny show I would recommend
More content like this pls
Great video but I'm gonna need you to tell me where you got those The Good Place dvds.. (also magic of the pegasus is the goat)
You can currently get all 4 seasons on Blu-Ray (the set I have) for £20 from Amazon or HMV (If you're in the UK, I don't know about availability in other regions)
Can't believe Barbie and the Island Princess is in front of Rapunzel , the Nutcracker , Fashion Fairytale ....
It should be a crime !!!!!
I would rate Barbie a Christmas Carol higher solely because they try to grabble with dark concepts as opposed to the newer movies having little character variation personality wise & having the storylines be more plain.
Cool shirt, homie
The Pegasus one and Barbie in the Diamond Castle has scared the crap out of me as a kid so I'd lower the score on that one by a lot.
I heard Stacie is gonna have her own movie
I will not stand for this slander of 12 dancing princesses 😢you right on the rest especially princess charm school!
10:09 THANK GOD I DON'T HAVE NOSTALGIA FOR THIS ONE! My parents showed me the good iterations of A Christmas Carol. I've never seen this one! And never will. Thank you for showing me which Barbie movies to avoid for all eternity!

I watched nearly every Barbie movie, born in 2006 and watched even some of the newest ones when they came out. They are so responsible for my mental illness (or maybe my mental illnesses are responsible for them).
very fun to have a song come to my head and sing it for virtually every movie
no bc i’ve been saying that mermaidia is the absolute best movie in bcu!! mainly because of nori and elina 💗💙
I won't lie I thought you were the guy who played president snow for a moment.
good video :)
Tika from Island Princess is so toxic .
They say Rachelle is a toxic character but in my opinion , she's just brutally honest.
Tika is the most toxic friendship in all Barbie movies
12 dancing princesses was literally one of like the three movies I watched on repeat in my childhood it’s so nostalgic yet cringe lol
I’ve been rewatching “are you afraid of the dark” it’s really lesbian coded, I love it.
Well i think i need lessons on how tell the difference between friendship and ‘romance’ subtext because I’m bad at recognising it unlike it’s obvious it pointed out to me 😅
I agree with most of this. Barbie diaries is pure torture. Awsome ranking! My favorite one is 12 dancing princesses
Barbie Life in the Dreamhouse is the only Barbie show worth watching cause its cute & funny.
My first thought seeing the thumbnail was “Holy shit it’s Weird Al’s second cousin” (this is a compliment)
Barbie Diaries haunts my nightmares
3:42 The Roberts family lives in Malibu.
3:53 they’re actually from California!
Yeah I’m also confused as to why I said and visualised Miami… as I say, geography is not my strong suit (the plane route is still weird though)
Fashion Fairytale should be top 5 smh
Not me seeing the thumbnail and thinking “joe keery?” 😳
Barbie Diaries was supposed to be 2D but Mattel changed it's mind last minute, so the poor animators had to improvise
Mermaidia was my favorite as a kid 💁♀️
Okay next task rank all the Barbie songs
