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

literally my exact thoughts me barbie barbie in the nutcracker

  • “barbie as the princess and the pauper” 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.
  • “barbie as the island princess” 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 boyfriend’s intial fiancee being evil – luciana and ro become friends instead. it also has some genuinely emotional moments.
  • “barbie in the nutcracker” 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.
  • “barbie in swan lake,” 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 isn’t the best, but it’s a solid 90 minutes of fun.
  • “the barbie diaries” was a huge oddball in the canon, but in my opinion, it’s underrated. yes it’s probably the stupidest and the most predictable, but it has songs written by kesha (no, seriously, look it up), and it’s an admirable attempt at something different.
  • “barbie as rapunzel” ABSOLUTELY INFLUENCED “TANGLED” AND YOU CAN’T CONVINCE ME OTHERWISE. features a surprisingly clever twist at the climax, as well as a creepy villain, and it’s a different take than most rapunzel stories.
  • “barbie and the magic of pegasus” is the first original barbie movie, which warrants applause on its own. the story is fun, and it’s nice to have a love interest with a proper Tragic Backstory
  • “barbie and the diamond castle” features some of the most fun side characters, as well as some pretty good music. should’ve been gay, though.
  • “barbie in the christmas carol” deserves credit just for casting BARBIE as SCROOGE. did not see that coming at ALL.
  • “barbie and the 12 dancing princess” is kind of underappreciated. admittedly it’s 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 i’m not gonna do because i barely remember them. i do remember i really liked the first mariposa movie as a kid, tho.

…these are thoughts i actually dwell on and type out, apparently

barbie my childhood ive watched ALL the barbie movies maybe not one or two of the more recent ones but im hesitant lol
