4/10īrietta isn’t particularly interesting which is kind of disappointing. Like, both the scene with the giant and the scene with the wives had her manipulating them to do what she wanted them to do. I did like that fact that Mattel had the balls to have her biggest strength be manipulation. Anyway, her unflinching optimism is endearing at times but only because the plot demands her unfounded conjectures be right every single time. Had she known that, I’m like 99% sure she would have been more careful. Yeah she could have prevented them, but her parents couldn’t be bothered to tell her that an evil sorcerer had most likely been hunting her down from birth. The thing is, she didn’t really cause them. Her arc centers around her redeeming herself for inadvertently causing her parent’s and subjects deaths-but-not-actually-deaths. Anika snuck out and revealed herself to an evil sorcerer her parents never bothered to tell her about, she didn’t want to marry him so he turned everyone in her kingdom to stone, she has to build a wand to save them, she finds the things, makes the wand, confronts him, fails, learns something, confronts him again, wins.Īnika is the first character Barbie has played that actually screws up, but honestly it was justified. Anika has some lines that just don’t sound right. The script could have been much tighter though. It wasn’t particularly creative or anything, but each beat had a clear purpose and I wasn’t ever confused or bored. The Plot: I was sort of surprised at how cohesive the plot was. The rest of the scenery is okay, it still looks like a bad video game but the colors don’t clash, so that’s a plus. It’s all the same color and it’s the same as both the pegasus and Anika’s dress. On top of that, the cloud kingdom looks… not great.

The Animation: It’s smother, the figure skating looks wonderful, and it was nice to see Barbie spend the movie in a color that isn’t pink, but god, could it get any more obvious that this movie is designed to sell toys? That goddamn wand looks like a 50 cent McDonalds prize. Anyway this movie isn’t horrible but it’s not my favorite. But then Aiden is dressed like a D&D rogue? Nothing makes sense and it leads me to believe that this takes place in some realm beyond time and space where pieces of history come together to create a messy conglomerate of costumes and politics. Like, Barbie wears pants in the opening scene and she lives in a (presumably) small Norwegian kingdom except Norway has been a unified kingdom since like 872. Initial thoughts: Let’s get this out of the way before we get started- what time period does this take place in? Seriously.
