my thought on the movie below (may contains spoilers):

this one took me right back to the heart of my childhood. I mean, as soon as those opening notes played, I was practically back in my pyjamas, daydreaming about what it’d be like to live on an island with my very own pet elephant, peacock, and yes; a cuddly red panda. seriously, what other movie makes me want to pack my bags and set sail to live my best tropical life with a whole crew of adorable animals? this movie is pure escapism, like bottled sunshine, but with a hint of sparkles and catchy tunes. for me, Barbie as the Island Princess is one of those rare gems that feels magical even years later. it's not just the catchy songs (I could dance to “I Need to Know” for days) or the cute animation; it’s the whole vibe. it’s like Barbie meets Disney meets a sun-kissed fairy tale. and can we talk about Prince Antonio? this movie came out when I was 17, and while other girls around my age preferred the cool bad boys, I had a crush on Prince Antonio! so charming, so kind, and just the perfect Prince Charming to Ro’s wild-hearted island girl. I might’ve spent way too much time back then thinking up my own stories with characters just like Ro and Antonio.

honestly, the adventure in this movie is just the right mix of suspense and sweetness. Ro is off discovering the world and figuring out where she belongs, and it’s all so dreamy and exciting. every scene feels like a painting - bright, colourful, and full of whimsical little details. and don't even get me started on those animal friends! who wouldn’t want an elephant like Tika as their bestie or a peacock to strut around with? they add so much charm to the movie, I really want to be part of this little island family. however, it’s funny, because watching it as a teenage kid, I was all about the romance and the magic, but now there’s this whole extra layer of 'finding my true self' that just hits different. Ro's journey of self-discovery and courage is honestly timeless, and it’s a reminder that even Barbie movies can be pretty inspiring. I remember thinking that someday I want to write a story just like this. I even came up with my own character named Rosella - true story! this movie just gets those creative gears turning. in short, Barbie as the Island Princess is a nostalgic whirlwind of pink sparkles, catchy tunes, and island vibes that I can’t help but love. it’s the kind of movie that makes me feel like anything’s possible, and that’s a feeling worth holding onto.

Gargoyles: The Curse Of Hunter's Moon

Demona's Introduction

The following is an entire sequence that I'm sharing to give you a definitive idea and a great taste to show what I'm going for with this:

ST. DAMIEN'S CATHEDRAL

MANHATTAN, NEW YORK

It's the middle of the night and a bright red car with a white top on it that looks to be almost 1950s-ish pulls up right in front of the derelict church. Coming out of the front seat, Elisa Maza looks down at the location map that Fox, the mysterious women who was now disfigured on her right eye in the hospital, had drawn and given to her in secret. This was indeed the place, something that looks like Dracula would live in. When entering through the front door, Elisa is surprised at how grand the inside of it is and cracks a dryly sarcastic joke at the Queen Of England having her royal wedding here.

She makes her way to the basement as instructed and uses the golden key that Fox slipped to her as well to open the entrance. Entering and making her way down the hard stone staircase, she finds that it isn't a basement but instead is a large crypt with a black sarcophagus right in the middle across a metal mini-bridge over water. Elisa remembers what Fox had told her and that what was inside in the middle would be the evidence to nail Dominique Destine on these recent events for good. Opening it, she finds the body of a woman encased in cement and clutched in her hands to Elisa's shock is exactly what she needs to prove that Destine was involved in this. Carefully removing it from this body's cold, dead hands, Elisa gets too cocky for her own good and boasts to herself how all of this was a piece of cake in a smug way.

Only for her to stop when she begins to look at the body more closely and notices that she looks strangely familiar as if she's seen her before. It's when Elisa squints and gets just a little too close that the body in cement.... moves.

A shocked Elisa ends tripping over and horrifyingly comes not just face-to-face but nose-to-nose with the woman. Screaming in terror as the cement cracks, Elisa gets herself up and said cement completely breaks apart entirely to reveal that not only is this woman and well and not happy but also that she had blue skin, spiky, red hair, wore a white loincloth with a matching single strap top, a golden tiara on her head, an armband on her upper left arm, a leg band on her lower left leg, had sharp knife-like claws on her hands and feet and finally glowing pitch red eyes full of hard rage staring directly at Elisa, the human intruder in her lair.

After an intense scuffle where Elisa's gun is crushed by Demona's bare foot, the piece of evidence falls right into the water and as Elisa realizes she has to go in after it, several of the coffins burst open, arms smash through the walls, clawed feet push through the ceiling and out of them comes all of these creature women just like Demona with glowing red eyes, sharp fangs and equally pissed.

Jumping in as fast as she can, she scrambles around to find the main evidence in this disgusting and murky water on a terrifying time limit when she finally finds it but when she immediately grabs hold of it, a rotting head pops out from underneath it. A horrified Elisa looks around to see all these underwater skeletons and decomposing bodies around her, she screams in terror with bubbles coming up. And that guttural scream is carried over when she instantly comes back up and sees Demona is right at her who lets out a bone-chilling and nightmarish roar at her as the camera goes full-on Sam Raimi and goes into Demona's large open mouth to reveal that her uvula is a grotesque deformity that instead of being round at the bottom, it's a crooked sharp point.

A truly horrified Elisa screams in absolute terror only for the camera to pull another Sam Raimi and go into her just as wide open mouth to reveal that she too has the exact same grotesque and deformed uvula with the same sharp crooked point bottom.

The sight of this shocks and takes back Demona as Elisa runs out of the water with the other women in hot pursuit only for Demona to signal them to stop and marches forward with a twisted smirk on her face and taking her sweet time with Elisa running back up the stairway, basically saying without a line of dialogue that "she's mine".

Reaching the "basement" door and about to be free of this horrific nightmare happening in real life, it slams shut in her face. Elisa desperately tries to open it as she sees Demona's shadow approaching her which leads her to remember in the moment, the key! She pulls it out and puts it in the lock, only for her hope and relief to be instantaneously dashed when it breaks off.

Having no other choice as Demona is now dangerously close to her, Elisa uses a hole at the bottom of the door as her escape. Throwing the evidence that got her into this in the first place out through first, she goes straight through next.... but gets stuck when her ass and hips aren't big enough and as Elisa struggles more than ever, it's way too late. Demona has already reached her, for the first time here speaks by taunting Elisa as she's still trying to get through and then comments that this human's bottom is a thing of beauty on par with hers.

Demona lunges forward and sinks her teeth straight into the right side of Elisa's ass cheek as the latter screams in pain on the outside.

The camera hard cuts to the outside of St. Damien's Cathedral to show that Elisa's screams are just simple mere faints amongst the noises in New York.

The End (it isn't, it's just a scene in the middle but you get the point or what I'm saying)

What's the "evidence"?

Who are the other creature women?

How does their deformed uvula tie into this?

You'll just have to see for yourself if this idea I have for a flat-out Gargoyles animated reboot film ever happens and sees the light of day cause where's the fun in just telling you or anyone else who reads it everything about it?

Top it all off even though this is her introduction, Demona isn't the main antagonist of the movie. She's the TRITAGONIST.

I can honestly picture Salli Richardson and Marina Sirtis loving what they're reading with this in the actual fucking script.

Barbie as the Island Princess (2007) dir. Greg Richardson. 6.5/10

I would not recommend this movie to my friends. I would not rewatch this movie.

How does Azul even know about material goods? How does Ro even remember how to speak English or about manners?

Are the animals orphans?

Luciana is a lovely girl.

If Ro didn't start drowning, she wouldn't have reunited with her mother.

Poor Tika. She looked messed up as she's almost about to drown. Sagi running to save Tallulah with the tonic is so amusing and cute. The mice are really so enthusiastic. I like them. Tallulah seeming so human is weird to me.
