âbarbie as the princess and the pauperâ has the most solid storyline, as well as being the most well-remembered and well-loved of the barbie movies of the 2000s. the characters are engaging, and the romances are surprisingly solid. (even if annelise and erika were clearly gay for each other, their love interests still had likable personalities and good dynamics with the girls.) the music has also held up incredibly well, albeit with a lot of cheese.
âbarbie as the island princessâ has a cliche but entertaining storyline, but has the strongest music overall. the side characters are also remarkably well-done, and it avoids falling into the trap of the boyfriendâs intial fiancee being evil â luciana and ro become friends instead. it also has some genuinely emotional moments.
âbarbie in the nutcrackerâ has probably the strongest script overall, as well as tim curry. the cgi is shit nowadays but it was good for the time, and the ballet sequences are still very fun.
âbarbie in swan lake,â although not as well-remembered, is a solid family movie, with beautiful music and ballet sequences, as well as a really cool villain. its storyline isnât the best, but itâs a solid 90 minutes of fun.
âthe barbie diariesâ was a huge oddball in the canon, but in my opinion, itâs underrated. yes itâs probably the stupidest and the most predictable, but it has songs written by kesha (no, seriously, look it up), and itâs an admirable attempt at something different.
âbarbie as rapunzelâ ABSOLUTELY INFLUENCEDÂ âTANGLEDâ AND YOU CANâT CONVINCE ME OTHERWISE. features a surprisingly clever twist at the climax, as well as a creepy villain, and itâs a different take than most rapunzel stories.
âbarbie and the magic of pegasusâ is the first original barbie movie, which warrants applause on its own. the story is fun, and itâs nice to have a love interest with a proper Tragic Backstory
âbarbie and the diamond castleâ features some of the most fun side characters, as well as some pretty good music. shouldâve been gay, though.
âbarbie in the christmas carolâ deserves credit just for casting BARBIE as SCROOGE. did not see that coming at ALL.
âbarbie and the 12 dancing princessâ is kind of underappreciated. admittedly itâs not as memorable, but it does a good job adapting a lesser-known fairytale.
the fairytopia/mariposa movies are their own thing and need their own post, which iâm not gonna do because i barely remember them. i do remember i really liked the first mariposa movie as a kid, tho.
