Bringing this back!!

Top 3 Worst and Best Barbie Movies (In My Opinion)

3rd Worst: Barbie and Chelsea: The Lost Birthday (47/100) (Meh)

You go into the jungle to save your birthday. What could possibly go wrong? Everything.

3rd Best: Barbie in The Twelve Dancing Princesses (98/100) (Mind Blowing)

The soundtrack is GODLY. And plus- who wanted that stone circle in their bedroom? And those shoes?

2nd Worst: Barbie Presents Thumbelina (45/100) (Meh)

Good environmental awareness message, but please stay true to the story next time!

2nd Best: Barbie as Rapunzel (98/100) (Mind Blowing)

Gosh- the dress change, Otto, and Penelope are what make this movie ICONIC! And plus, I often left my hairbrush at my windowsill and prayed that it would change into a magic paintbrush… it never did.

Dishonorable Mentions: I don’t really have any!

Honorable Mentions: Nutcracker, Swan Lake, The Fairytopia Saga, Diamond Castle, Princess Charm School, and all those classics!

Now, onto the top and bottom spots!

Worst: The Barbie Diaries (35/100) (A Little Less Bad)

“Please. She sounds like a deodorant.”

More like THIS MOVIE sounds like a deodorant- rubbing against someone’s armpits!!

Best: Barbie as The Princess and The Pauper (100/100) (Masterpiece)

Who can even go WRONG with this movie?! The characters are likable and unique (I’m looking at ya, Preminger), the story and the settings are somewhat historically accurate, and the songs are GODLY!!!! In other words, I don’t think Mattel will ever, if EVER, pull off another movie as good as this one!

Preliminaries

After 3/2 years you can finally get Princess Adventure and Lost Birthday on DVD in this 4-pack with Big City Big Dreams and, to my surprise and delight, a re-release of the original Dreamtopia special that only had a Nick premiere and short DVD release with SLA back in 2016

Damn I can't believe Barbie & Chelsea: The Lost Birthday was such a good movie, wtf I was not expecting to enjoy it so much but it was so wholesome and fun!

It really gives old Barbie movie vibes actually! The Wizard of Oz storyline was very cute, and the silly villain gave the whole thing such a fun vibe, I was kinda half expecting it to end with "and you were there, and you, and you, and you were there too!" lol

Also there was a Princess Bride reference thrown in there, which was neat, but it was all so much wholesome fun! Barbie movies are so fun when they have magic and adventure, THIS movie should've had adventure in the title, not the lackluster FOURTH princess switch movie that came before it

What if I said I actually bump to this song… what then 😭⁉️

I have decided to watch all Barbie movies and TV shows. I am halfway through.

Barbie and the Magic of Pegasus? I loved it, Anaka (sp) was sassy and I love the sass.

Barbie in a Mermaid Tale 1&2? Okay movie, but not something I'd watch over and over again.

Barbie A Fairy Secret? Pretty cool. The rivalry between Barbie and Roquelle? Strong as ever. Ken pretty cool, for a dude in distress.

Barbie Princess Charm school? I had trouble getting into.

Barbie a Perfect Christmas? Not my favorite, I finished watching it.

Barbie Princess and the Popstar? Cool. Love the song "To be a Princess, To be a Popstar." Would rewatch.

Barbie and her sisters in a Pony Tale? Liked the horses, liked Barbie giving Stacy advice. Cool. Might rewatch.

Barbie: the Pearl Princess? Interesting. Cool. Maybe rewatchable.

Barbie and her sisters in the Great Puppy Adventure: I like this one. A story on how they get the puppies, and the puppies talk.

Barbie Spy Squad: I like the idea, but couldn't get into the movie.

Barbie: Star Light Adventures: amazing songs. Decent movie. Would rewatch.

Barbie and her sisters in the Great Puppy Chase: weird. Barbie is out of character based on the TV show. Skipper has motion sickness. Focuses on the puppies.

Barbie and Chelsea's Lost Birthday: decent.

Barbie Fairytopia series: love them. Definitely rewatchable.

Barbie Rock'n Royals: love it. Songs are awesome. Rewatchable.

Barbie Dolphin Magic: cool.

Barbie Big City Big Dreams: cool. Rewatchable.

Barbie Epic Road Trip: pretty cool. Choose your own adventure, not my favorite, but does contain a scene I love.

Barbie Skipper and the Big Babysitting Adventure: pretty cool.

Barbie Stacie to the Rescue: proves I didn't know how to spell her name. Cool.

Barbie Princess Adventure: has my favorite quote so far. Rewatchable.

I watched them on Netflix and YouTube, most free.

Barbie movie tier list: part 3!

We're in the home stretch now! Just 10 more movies until I'm caught up to the newest release. You can find part 1 of the tier list here and part 2 here.

Barbie & Her Sisters in a Puppy Chase (2016): F tier. Mattel really said "Barbie can be anything, including a negligent caretaker!" With 8 talking animals (why!!!) and a complete disregard for shot consistency, this movie is only rescued from a "literal dogshit" rating by the rather sweet climactic moment where Barbie admits that sometimes even she doesn't know what to do.

Barbie: Video Game Hero (2017): D tier. This whole movie felt like a fever dream, honestly. The blocky animation style was kinda cute, and the BGM was nice at times, and one of the characters did say "noob", so...... minimal points for that, I suppose?

Barbie: Dolphin Magic (2017): C tier. The thing that really sucks about Mattel phasing out the "Barbie as" movies in favor of casting her only as herself is that Barbie is no longer allowed to experience any change, lest her character development cause complications for future films in the BCU. This means Barbie is fundamentally unable to play a pivotal (or even active) role in her own movies, and is instead relegated to the sidelines of some other character's A plot -- and yet, to bill the movie as a Barbie movie, Barbie must be given some requisite amount of screentime, which comes at the expense of the A plot's development. As a result, these movies are left feeling stale and underdeveloped, with no stakes and no commitment to the story being told, and Barbie: Dolphin Magic is no exception. No doubt the mermaid crystal given to Barbie by Isla will vanish into the ether between this movie and the next, and Barbie will continue to fret over whether or not she has the right to agency over her own choices. The kleptomaniac crab D plot was pretty funny, though.

Barbie Princess Adventure (2020): A tier. See, Mattel, you can still make awesome Barbie movies if you just full send it! With fun songs, lovely friendships, a meaningful message, and a sweetly awkward Ken, this movie is a worthy homage to the original Princess and the Pauper that nevertheless possesses its own charming identity.

Barbie & Chelsea: The Lost Birthday (2021): D tier. Was this a good movie? No. Was this a fun movie? Also no. Were the songs at least passable? Well, actually.....absolutely not. But there were some highly amusing characters with unique designs, and the silly little gags throughout (like the weird vegan DJ and the beach vampire) did make me chuckle!

Barbie: Big City, Big Dreams (2021): D tier. I begrudgingly appreciate the lack of talking animals, but this was such an absolute nothing-burger contrivance of a movie that I find myself hard pressed to give it points for that. There was no reason this needed to be set in NYC given it did not portray any NYC culture; there was no reason Brooklyn Barbie needed to also be named Barbie; there was no reason for literally anything that happened at any point in the movie! The only redeeming quality of this movie is the pigeons, which were fucking adorable.

Barbie Movies Tournament: Preliminaries

Hello! Just for fun I thought I'd see what tumblr's favorite Barbie movie is. However, there are not quite the right number of Barbie movies to neatly fit into a tournament, so I've arbitrarily decided that the most recent 16 movies will have to earn their place in the showdown.

Preliminaries will start on Monday at noon EST and polls will be open for one week. The lineup is as follows:

Barbie: Spy Squad VS Barbie: Starlight Adventure

Barbie: Mariposa and the Fairy Princess VS Barbie: Mermaid Power

Barbie in Princess Power VS Barbie Dolphin Magic

Barbie and the Secret Door VS Barbie Princess Adventure

Barbie and Her Sisters in The Great Puppy Adventure VS Barbie and Her Sisters in a Puppy Chase

Barbie and Her Sisters in a Pony Tale VS Barbie: Big City Big Dreams

Barbie in Rock 'N Royals VS Barbie Video Game Hero

Barbie: The Pearl Princess VS Barbie & Chelsea: The Lost Birthday

The 8 winners will enter into the official bracket. I might be persuaded to do a consolation bracket for the 8 movies that lose the preliminaries.

The official bracket will be released after these preliminaries are over. This is my first time doing a tournament so any and all feedback is appreciated. Hope you all enjoy and consider following if you want to participate in all of the polls. Thanks!
