  Barbie in the 12 Dancing Princesses 2006

  ★★★★ Watched 24 May 2023

  The songs are still stuck in my head. There's a lot to unpack here:

  -it's giving Narnia but with a passcode
  -is Felix tha parrot Indian? Let's go, diversity!
  -holy shit, there's a HOLE in the floor
  -Dancing is a curse

  I just love this movie and its resemblance to the sound of music but on 2x the speed and no context

  Barbie as The Princess & the Pauper 2004

  ★★★★ Watched 22 May 2023

  Ranked as #1 on my list of Barbie movies for its iconic scenes and songs. This includes:
  - The princess duetting a song about how she had servants when the pauper was just breaking down about being made to work like a servant
  - Also they look nothing alike?? And no explanation was provided about why they do??? They aren't even sisters. Guess their main similarity is being white
  - The prince's kink: dressing up
  - The closet is glass…
