I wasn’t a huge fan of all the magic stuff, they acted like France had never seen glitter or sequins before which made their whole influence on the plot seem forced.

Her journey to discover that she doesn’t need other’s support to find self-gratification was handled well, and there certainly was a need for this message. The externalities help reflect Barbie’s character growth with a surprising amount of cohesiveness. It was kind of fun to jump between Barbie working to save her Aunt’s boutique and Ken having to deal with every travel problem know to mankind. They did, however change to a worse shade of magenta to dress Barbie in.

The technicalities are steadily improving and the movie isn’t bad on the eyes. I attribute this to a combination of 2010 not having great trends, and the animators trying to make Barbie a bit more marketable to a younger demographic.

For a movie about fashion, the clothing choices weren’t great. I’m not totally sure I like it, but I’m willing to give it a chance. Barbie’s eyes seem larger and farther apart.

This movie however, feels completely foreign. It still felt like an old barbie movie because of that. Looking back on Mermaid Tale it turns out that movie was the first to implement this new style, but Kelly Sheridan’s voice sort of masked it. If you keep that in mind this movie’s actually pretty good. Initial Thoughts: I have this headcanon (god does anyone even use that word anymore?) that after Barbie proved herself as a director the studio let her make this movie and all the magic stuff was added in to help it fit in with the other movies.
