Barbie Movie Tier List
My opinions are fact and I will not take constructive criticism (lol jk this is all subjective don’t hate me if I hate your fave)
Also this is a work in progress because I decided to keep watching the movies beyond where I stopped watching as a kid so I will add more as I get to them
Here we go (below the cut)
Nutcracker- D+
It was the first movie, it was 2001,, It’s okay. The music really did it for me but I can’t give points for that because that’s all Tchaikovsky. The dizzying camera pans did not help. The plus is for the Sugarplum Fairy reveal because I had the doll and relived my childhood in that moment.
Rapunzel- A-
She’s an artist, she’s willful, she references modern art centuries ahead of its time, what more can I say. I know it’s still rough as the second movie but as someone with hair past my knees I’m legally obligated to love this movie. Minus for the ugly ferret, bonus points because I had the Rapunzel doll as a kid.
Swan Lake- C
Odette doesn’t... Do anything. I haven’t watched any other adaptation of Swan Lake so I’m not saying this is a Barbie thing in particular, but she just isn’t as cool as Rapunzel (but who is tbh) Loved the music again, but that’s Tchaikovsky. I enjoyed the little hedgehog guy and skunk girl.
(P.S. Does anyone else remember a Swan Lake computer game? Because that was all I could recall about the movie before I rewatched it)
Princess and Pauper- A
I’m just like you, you’re just like me. Phenomenal. I’m a sucker for a good musical and I thoroughly enjoyed this movie from start to finish. I will be rewatching it again because I liked it just that much. Serafina and Wolfie are amazing (bonus points because I had a Serafina toy), and even though Preminger is gross, his song is kind of a bop. How could I refuse to give this movie an A?
Fairytopia- B-
The beginning of the iconic Bibble... The Fairytopia movies only get better, so to start with a B- isn’t bad. I wish they explained more about the rainbow in her eye? And Laverna’s end is confusing because she just... disappears, and her fate isn’t explained until the next movie. All in all though, a solid movie.
Magic of Pegasus- B
We love a figure skater, we love a girl who refuses marriage to a weird magician. We don’t love Shiver just causing problems and not even being that cute. Bonus points for Annika being sassy as hell.
Mermaidia- B
Gay mermaids gay mermaids gay mermaids you can’t convince me otherwise. How come the fungi could leave the wastes but Laverna couldn’t (until...)? Elina sacrificing her wings to become a mermaid was a great moment, as well as when both Elina and Laverna ate the berries that showed their true selves. Bonus points for mermaids because I love mermaids.
Diaries- F
Why. Completely insipid and vapid and shallow and stupid as hell. Barbie being a curve-wrecker should’ve been a crowning moment but it wasn’t and I just can’t abide by a movie teaching kids that being good in school is bad. I must have erased this movie from my childhood memory because I didn’t recognize it at first. Bad movie.
12 Dancing Princesses- A+
A breath of fresh air after Diaries. I LOVE the 12 Dancing Princesses and (as of the writing of this post) it is my Favorite. I had the Genevieve doll, I named both of my (male) betta fish after Genevieve, and I named at least a couple of my Webkinz after other princesses too. The music is amazing, the story is amazing, the princesses are amazing (I don’t wanna hear anything about them being under-developed, there’s fucking 12 of em and it’s only 81 minutes long). Great movie. Best movie. Love this movie.
Magic of the Rainbow- B+
The finale of the Fairytopia trilogy, and the best one at that. Gotta love a totally-in-your-face rainbow motif, and I do. I don’t totally get how Laverna was able to leave the wastes if her punishment was to be trapped there but okay. I also don’t get how the Flight of Spring succeeded if Elina and Sunburst weren’t even participating most of the time but okay. Laverna trapping and assuming Sunburst’s identity was great villainy right there. I like Glee’s design :3 Bonus points for rainbows.
Island Princess- B
Admittedly, the video I watched of this movie seems to have had some parts cut out cuz there were some weird cuts, but I will judge thusly. Love me a musical, love the talking (to) animals, love the knowledge of medicinal plants. Otherwise too colonialism for me. I originally watched this movie during my “learning to survive on a deserted island” phase, so it holds a special place in my heart.
Mariposa- B+
I watched this movie to death as a kid, but I think that was mostly because it was the only movie we had unpacked while we were moving. Interesting change of pace having someone other than Barbie be the main character. I like Mariposa. I like her interest in constellations. Rayna and Rayla were kind of annoying but okay by the end (character development). Why are Zinzie’s ears backwards. Bonus points for the scene with The Fairy in the Cave of Reflections.
Diamond Castle- A
This is the first Barbie movie that I haven’t watched as a kid, so I’m watching this with fresh eyes and no nostalgia points. As always, musicals get bonus points with me. Alexa and Liana are gay you can’t change my mind (they invented the bi and lesbian flags with those dresses at the end). The twin dudes are just their boy toys, and I’m glad nothing really happened with them besides a dance. I would die for Sparkles and Lily and their dance moves.
Christmas Carol- B-
Another change of pace with Barbie not being the main chara, though I guess she can’t all of a sudden be British lol I’m glad that Barbie is raising money for hospitals irl (Barbie is real don’t fight with me) and that the orphanage in the story got funded as well. Good message. But gonna be real I’m not the biggest Christmas Carol person, so this movie didn’t stand the greatest chance with me. I like Catherine.

Yay, I have covid! Thats what I get for traveling in any way but in a car for the first time in 2.5 years! Now I dont get paid anything for the second week in a row, because tgus couldn't happen when I had sick leave! (We had no camp last week -- that's why I chose that week for Iceland -- and now I can't go this week.) And I have a doctor's appointment I've waited months for coming up this week, so now I have to beg for a zoom appointment, which i doubt they'll give me.
Also, the ferrets have been in my room for the past 24 hours, a lot of that time with the door closed, so they may catch it. It sounds like it's harder for them to catch covid, but they can. I've moved them to the living room now. Which is depressing, because I haven't seen them in a week, and its Tchaikovsky's birthday. Fortunately, Boyfriend got him a boar bristle brush as a gift. I've attached it to the side of his cage so maybe he can scratch himself better, not that he's used it yet. Also, Boyfriend is seriously worried about getting sick as well, and its too hot here to open windows and air the house out.
Yes, I was vaccinated and had a booster, and I still wear a mask inside when I can.

🐇 - tell me your favorite fairy tale trope, your name, fave hp character, and i'll write a little blurb for you!
Ok, when the mc is a badass and she's self-sufficient until she meets the big strong man that's been through sum shit himself too and she's like "pfffft I don't fucking need you" but it's not her that needs him, he needs her and they find solace in eachother
Ferret boi Draco
<33
join my fairy tale celebration! <3
Here's a going to sleep scenario for you <3 Took the liberty in making this a royal one, but you can choose what Draco and Y/N are, since it doesn't explicitly say!
"The moon really is beautiful tonight, isn't it?" Draco crept behind Y/N, holding two glasses of champagne.
Y/N nodded, accepting a glass. "Quite." She said quietly, stealing glances at the blond who was now beside her, overlooking the sky from her balcony.
"Do you reckon she's jealous?" Draco asks, turning his attention to something equally as interesting - Y/N's eyes.
"I don't see why she would be." Y/N shrugged, raising a brow at Draco over the glass she was smoothly sipping.
"I'm looking at the most gorgeous and funniest girl tonight, and the moon’s all the way up there." Draco said, stepping closer and pointing at the moon. When he brought his arm down, he gently caressed the side of Y/N's face before bringing his hand down to her waist.
"You think I'm funny?" Y/N said, suppressing a giddish giggle.
Draco nodded. "Quite intelligent, too. You give me a run for my money." Y/N smiled bashfully, looking down at her feet.
Then, the orchestra gathered in the courtyard, just a few floors below Y/N began playing Tchaikovsky's Serenade for Strings.
"Did you ask them to play this?" She gaped, curtseying to Draco after his bow.
"I suppose I may have had a small part in it." He shrugged, pulling her close to him as they found the rhythm between their two bodies.
After a few twirls, he brought her close again, a feeling Y/N was starting to find familiar. She stretched her neck upwards, giving Draco a small peck on the lips.
"What was that?" Draco asked, biting his cheek in efforts to not show the huge grin that wanted to find its way onto his lips.
"Just wanted to see how it'd," Her words trailed off as Draco held her cheeks only inches away from his face.
"Feel." Draco finished, diving into her lips for the warmest and most passionate kiss one could give.
When they pulled apart, the two couldn't stop smiling as their feet continued to carry them into an even greater heaven than being with each other.
"She's definitely jealous." Draco whispered, smiling sweetly as he gazed up at the moon one more time.

All jokes aside, I hope everyone is doing okay during 2020. So much is going on and it’s already August. :/ 
Did any of you watch the shooting stars last night? I sat on my balcony with my ferret and watched them for a bit. I saw about three while listening to Tchaikovsky and it was great. Remember to take breaks and just vibe. Especially now, your mental health is important.

LE VOYAGEUR
Tumblr media
José Ruiz / © Frank Loriou
THIBAULT CAUVIN 
De secret bordelais le mieux gardé à porte-drapeau de la vitalité musicale locale, le guitariste a publié Cities 2, 11e album où il dialogue avec 8 artistes. Un disque capital pour sa carrière, après des années de tournée mondiale.
Comment ce disque multicolore a-t-il vu le jour ?
L’idée était de raconter quelques-unes des grandes villes qui m’ont touché durant les 15 dernières années. J’en ai choisi 12 et, avec des compositeurs orfèvres, nous avons créé des petits contes. Parmi eux, il y a le Cap-Ferret, un coin que j’aime beaucoup, et j’y ai invité Matthieu Chedid. Nous avons mélangé nos notes et nos univers pour créer la chanson. Pour ma part, c’était la première fois que je travaillais ainsi. Matthieu, lui, connaît par coeur, et il ignorait tout de la guitare classique. Ce fut un vrai bonheur de mélanger nos deux mondes. J’ai aimé mêler tous les ambassadeurs de musique qui sont sur mon disque. Ils se sont réunis autour de ma guitare dans cette balade autour du monde, venus d’univers différents et réunis pour la poésie du voyage. De façon générale, je les avais contactés avec quelques notes de musique comme une bouteille jetée à la mer. Tous ont accepté. Les morceaux ont pris forme en studio car je reste un musicien classique, et, malgré ma soif d’aventure et mon désir de me mettre en danger, j’ai besoin de précision. Or pour cela, il faut travailler. Le plus agréable était de se prêter à leur manière de faire. Certains fonctionnent comme moi, d’autres non. Par exemple, Erik Truffaz, trompettiste enchanteur avec qui nous racontons Agadès, protège l’envie de jouer peu, chacune des notes qui sortent de sa trompette doit être vraiment unique et peu répétée. Cela m’a beaucoup déstabilisé car j’avais au contraire l’habitude de jouer et rejouer un motif pour le faire évoluer. Lui, son envie est plutôt de garder la pureté de la première impression. On s’est retrouvé en studio à ne jouer que très peu notre duo. Finalement, la troisième prise a été la bonne. Je garde vraiment un souvenir très fort de ce moment. Avec Ballaké Sissoko, ce fut aussi une rencontre osée pour conter Bamako. Alors que Ballaké ne lit pas la musique, j’ai fait sonner ma guitare comme une kora. Avec Thylacine, un DJ qui joue avec des machines, la musique électronique et la force qu’il crée, face à ma guitare, intimiste, charnelle, la confrontation fut riche. Nous avons abouti à un conte sur Berlin.
Cet album ouvre vers un public plus large, notamment en France, alors que tu donnes des concerts dans le monde entier depuis 15 ans.
C’est vrai. Je me suis produit dans des lieux étonnants : la tour Eiffel, un temple en Équateur, aux portes du désert en Tunisie, à l’Opéra de Shanghaï, au Carnegie Hall ou au Tchaikovsky Concert Hall de Moscou. Je joue des musiques invitant au voyage, inspirées par des influences espagnoles, sud-américaines, orientales. C’est une guitare classique ouverte sur le monde — Oulan-Bator, Istanbul, Calcutta — et les styles. J’aime me dire que toutes les musiques ne peuvent faire qu’une. Depuis que je suis enfant, je vis dans cette ambiance et cette philosophie. Et je protège cette pensée, en essayant de la conserver. Cities 2 est dans cet élan.
Thibault Cauvin, vendredi 25 janvier, 20 h 30, Le Rocher de Palmer, Cenon (33150) lerocherdepalmer.fr

I got tagged (It’s a miracle oh my gosh) by @avariea
“List 6 random facts about yourself and then pass it on to 10 followers” 
1. Over the years I’ve had three adorable pet ferrets (Rogue, Freddie and Trixie). I’ve got a ton of stories about all of them, but one of my favourites is that Rogue liked to ride on my dog’s back.
2. I love looking at pretty architecture. Old, new, you name it. I don’t know much of the terminology, but it’s just so dang satisfying. Most of my photos from any trip I go on end up being buildings (New York was so great for that though)
3. In spite of my school situation being really shitty right now, I’m hopefully headed for a degree in engineeing someday.
4. This is gonna surprise absolutely no one, but I play and love the flute. I’ve done jazz, classical, and a little orchestral. Tchaikovsky and latin music are probably a couple of my favourite things to play (no specific latin pieces, just the style from the few I did in jazz band). I also used to be a pretty great improv soloist before anxiety started kicking my butt so much.
5. I’m pretty much always wearing oversized sweaters irl. The warmer the better. 
6. My bookshelves take up more of my room than anything but my bed. It’s perfect <3
I’m tagging @jedicreed-fr, @flightofbabylon, @ashenhartkrie, @apothecaria, @tyrian-sexual, @snynchly, and anybody else who feels like doing this too (I pretty much just listed from the top of my head and scrolled though my notes, but you guys are all awesome and tag me if you do it!)
