#509: “As an aspiring ballet teacher, I only like Barbie’s movie versions of The Nutcracker and Swan Lake. Even though they changed a LOT from the ballets, they at least feel like they respected the source materials and wanted to make good movies out of them. If only we had gotten Barbie as The Sleeping Beauty too, to complete the Tchaikovsky Trilogy.”

• what she says: i'm fine
• what she means: do you know what really annoys me about the 2001 direct-to-video film barbie in the nutcracker? so at the end of the film clara finds out that she’s the sugar plum princess which is amazing, then her and the nutcracker who is now revealed to be prince eric dance to a great piece of music while clara is wearing an amazing dress and the scenery around them is transforming back to its original beautiful state and it’s all just so perfect, but it gets even more perfect when clara agrees to stay with prince eric and become his new queen. BUT THEN the mouse king comes along and steals clara’s necklace which transports her back to her home. so already it’s really annoying and you’re upset because you wanted clara and eric to live happily ever after, but matters get even worse when the audience is lead to believe that all that clara experienced in the film with the nutcracker etc was just a dream. so as you can imagine, it’s all quite anger inducing. BUT THEN clara’s aunt comes in and introduces clara to a young man who turns out to be prince eric, both of them look at each other and it’s obvious that all that happened wasn’t a dream after all (especially since eric gives clara back the necklace that the mouse king stole), and it gets even better when clara and eric dance together. so now it’s like “well it didn’t end the way i wanted it to, but they still lived happily ever after and that’s good enough for me” and it’s all just very emotional, beautiful and rewarding. it’s a good way to end a movie. BUT THEN the movies goes back to barbie telling stacey or chelsea or chestnut or cappuccino whatever her name is a story about the nutcracker, and it’s honestly just like… how dare you do that? i’ve my hopes up and crushed so many times while watching this movie and you don’t even have the decency in your soul to end the movie on a good note? you could have ended the movie as clara and eric slow dance into a fade into the credits, but no you just had to remind us all that this was just some story told by barbie so her sister won’t fuck up a few gosh darn diddily damnit moves while dancing to the dance of the sugar plum fairy? get gone

That feeling when you’ve been shrunk by a Mouse King and you’re dangling off your own Christmas mantle garland and see the Mouse King’s gonna murder the living Nutcracker your Aunt gave you and now you gotta save him.
