You can be anything ✨️

The queen that taught us that we could be anything we wanted 🦋 Comment what's your favourite Barbie movie and character! 🌷

These pictures remind me of the old Barbie Movies. The romantic aura they exuded and the magical aspects of the films are something the newer ones don't replicate sadly.

I miss the days when Barbie™ would overthrow totalitarian dictators and uncover royal conspiracies within a county's monarchy. What happened to that?

Genevive 🩰 Barbie and the 12 dancing princesses 🩷

One of my favourite things to come out of the barbie movie last year was all those youtube videos of mostly guys going 'I'm going to watch all 42 barbie movies as a challenge, lord this is going to be so hard to do' and then discovering 'huh, wow. some of these movies are actually... really good!!! the plot, the characters, the music... woah. modern movies could actually learn a thing or two from this.' It felt so validating and exciting for me to see other people watching and enjoying the barbie cinematic universe, especially the early stuff, and acknowledging them for the masterpieces they are, ya know?

Cool little details I noticed in 12 Dancing Princesses

Genevieve and her dad seem to play chess together regularly and he seems to consider her a equal rival

Fallon seems to like animals. She wanted to pet the monkey. Also her brown eyes are really pretty.

The girls have their beds arranged in a circle, but Rowena puts them in two straight lines. In addition to taking away their individually colored bedspreads and canopies.

Gregory is the name of the guard at the palace entrance. Derek greets him by name as he enters. Presumably... he's coming by with new shoes very often. 😆

Slight variances in the girls' appearances and style. When they're in the dancing pavilion for the last time they all have their hair in buns, but Ashlyn has a strand dangling and Fallon has some loose curls on top.

When Rowena first enters the castle, she stands directly in front of the portrait of the girls' late mother, eclipsing it. She later replaces it with a portrait of herself. That's cinematography folks

could you pls make ma old barbie movie collage? xoxo

Barbie Villains Are Scarier Than I Thought

Barbie in the Nutcracker has the Mouse King, who's voiced by Tim Curry and almost never played for laughs, attempting to chop the Nutcracker to pieces with an axe and then burn him alive in a fire.

Barbie as Rapunzel has Gothel, who kidnapped Rapunzel to start a war between two kingdoms that almost killed a little girl, is emotionally abusive to Rapunzel and her friends, is powerful enough to enslave dragons, and her magic makes her almost unstoppable and spends the majority of the final battle chasing everyone.

Barbie of Swan Lake has Rothbart, who's out to kill Odette for a majority of the movie. After rendering the Magic Crystal powerless, Rothbart blasts Daniel and Odette with his magic, killing them both until their love revives them.

Barbie and the Magic of Pegasus: Wenlock is a G-rated sexual predator. He goes from kingdom to kingdom, forcing women to accept his hand in marriage or face awful consequences. He introduces himself by turning everyone in the kingdom to stone and giving Princess Annika three days to accept his proposal before the spell becomes permanent. Before the film began, he transformed Princess Brietta into the titular pegasus when her parents refused his proposal, and turned three women unlucky enough to actually marry him into mute, goblin-like slaves after getting bored with them. He nearly kills Brietta in front of her own sister, and buries Annika alive in an avalanche when she stands up for her family. 

Barbie in the 12 Dancing Princesses: Duchess Rowena is a master manipulator and comes the closest to winning out of nearly every Barbie villain. As she slowly poisons King Randolph to death, she plays the part of a loving relative to gain his trust and cut him off from his twelve daughters, until he willingly makes her his successor on his deathbed. In turn, she manipulates the 12 princesses, undermining their self-esteem and capabilities to help their father, to the point that they decide to leave the kingdom for their mother's secret pavilion, believing Rowena's lie that they are the cause of their father's failing health. Before they can realize their mistake, she imprisons them in their place of refuge and steals some of its magic. Upon their escape, she uses the stolen magic to place a Fate Worse than Death curse on Princess Genevieve, compelling her to dance herself to death, which Genevieve only escapes by weaponizing the paper fan Rowena yelled at the girls about earlier. Rowena and her henchman Desmond may well still be trapped in the dance spell to this day. 

Barbie as the Island Princess has Queen Ariana. She plans to murder Antonio and his family, poisons the animals so they'll starve to death in an endless sleep, only had a daughter to serve her own ends, bribes a guard to kill Ro and her friends by knocking them into the ocean, and gained her title through marrying and killing an elderly king with a heart condition.

And those are just the ones I’ve seen!
