The Plot: Okay I get that this is basically The Princess Diaries but there’s much more to it than that and I actually love it. It actually makes all her “final forms” a bit cooler considering the fact that she always ends up practically draped in her kingdom’s flag. There’s an in-universe explanation for why everything is always bright magenta. The national colors/flags of the kingdoms these movies take place in are pink. I had a sudden realization when watching this movie. The character designs are alright, I like the original uniforms a bit better than the modified ones, though that just might be my dislike of the puffed shoulder sleeves Barbie always wears. The sets are a bit bare, which the animators try to make up for by making everything neon pink, but the result just looks plastic and cheap. The lighting is getting better and the movements are more natural, though it’s far from perfect. It certainly looks better than A Fairy Secret. The animation: Far too pink for me, but otherwise alright. Upon rewatching it today my opinion hasn’t changed much. I’ve had a bit more time to think about this one. I had fond memories of it, and I still occasionally re-watch it with my sisters. Initial Thoughts: This was the last barbie movie I watched while I was in the target age group for these films.
