Which Barbie Movies are The Best?
Navigating through the world of Barbie movies can seem as vast and varied as Barbie’s many careers. However, a few standouts have captured the hearts of fans both young and old alike over the years.
“Barbie in the Nutcracker” (2001) – the first ever Barbie movie, brings to life Tchaikovsky’s famous ballet with Barbie as Clara, journeying through a magical world filled with sugar plum fairies and evil mice. It’s cherished for its delightful story and introduction to classical music.
Next, we have “Barbie as the Princess and the Pauper” (2004), considered one of the best Barbie movies by fans. With its tale of mistaken identities, adorable animal friends, and a richly woven story, it truly stands out, not forgetting the memorable music that has been sung by fans for years.
“Barbie and the Magic of Pegasus” (2005) is another gem in the collection. The story of Princess Annika, a brave young girl who embarks on a quest to break a wizard’s spell, is filled with adventures, suspense, and life lessons that continue to resonate.
Lastly, “Barbie: Princess Charm School” (2011) has been celebrated for its inspiring message about the power of education, friendship, and believing in oneself. In this installment, Barbie plays a commoner who gets an opportunity to attend a school for princesses and fairies, resulting in an inspiring journey full of challenges, triumphs, and magical surprises.
While these are some of the most loved movies, the charm of Barbie is that each movie holds its own magic, allowing every fan to have a personal favorite. Barbie in a Mermaid Tale is the favorite in our house!
The New Barbie Live-Action Film: Perfect for Teens and Adults, But What About the Little Ones?
As the anticipation around the upcoming Barbie live-action movie featuring Margot Robbie grows, many parents are curious: Is the new Barbie movie suitable for kids?
Given the richly layered narrative style that Greta Gerwig and Noah Baumbach are known for, the new film from Warner Bros may resonate more deeply with teens, adults, and older kids. The rating has been set to PG-13 which gives you an idea.
In the new movie, after being expelled from the utopian Barbie Land for being less-than-perfect dolls, Barbie (Margot Robbie) and Ken (Ryan Gosling) go on a journey of self-discovery to the real world. Read more about the movie on Wikipedia.
