Ok I know this is weird but who still watches the movies and sings the songs! I know I'm 13 and supposed to already have grown out of it but me and my obnoxious sister haven't! Ha! Say Hello To my Little Friend!

[Mia, El Weirdo]

No Barbie fans? :(

I watch barbie sometimes

[Mia, El Weirdo]

Cool! What movies?

[[deleted user]]

...ummm all of them except the 2nd surfing one

[Mia, El Weirdo]

It's awesome! but it's also fake but you know they were never perfect.

I like the barbe version of The Nutcracker

The only time I like barbies is when they're on the barbie-cue. Get it? Haha, word play.
But seriously, they're just bad models for little girls. Barbie's a thin, perfect, blonde woman with everything in the world, and not one problem. And Ken, I mean come on. What man would wear sparkly clothing, short shorts... you get the point.

[Mia, El Weirdo]

@Angel Yeah it was kinda entertaining except for the way they made the children look.

Yeah Back than it looked like she didn't have a problem and they changed the appearance of Ken in the movies. But now the new movies that come out actually show responsibility, like in Barbie in Princess Charm School. I like it because it showed how deceptive people can be in real life. But the one thing that I hate about every barbie movie is.....the elbows. They look so ridiculous! It looks like plastic being bent.

Yeah the movies show good qualities and lessons and such. But it gives kids the wrong idea. Barbie is always the the her, she's perfect, she never gets dirty, her hair never tangles, etc, etc. For once can't she get a little dirt on her face to show the little girls out there that it's ok to get dirty and mess up sometimes?

[Mia, El Weirdo]

Totally agree! Her hair is like inseperatable. Even one strand. And in Barbie and a Mermaid tail everyone is skinny.

I know!!!! Another thing that bugs me a little is that there aren't as many african-american dolls as there are white dolls. That's always made me feel kind of uneasy.

[Mia, El Weirdo]

Yeah, that sucks that they're all biased. Except in the Mermaid tail one there's one mermaid that's African American.

I watch Barbie and though it is true that Barbie inspires the wrong image for girls, being all pretty, blonde and thin (and white) I guess it's just a fantasy and girls like to live it out. Obviously it comes from centuries of prejudice and racism this idea of beauty but it's a phase that girls wake up to, with all the media concerning the colour issue. I'm sure it's not Barbie's fault for racist slurs from children. It's other factors too and once again. It feels nice to give a pretty doll nice clothes and houses, playing fun games. It's only a toy that inspired hours of imagination for children.
PS All the Barbie movies are good. I like the Princess and the Pauper because the songs are great and the Twelve Dancing Princesses as well...:)

[Mia, El Weirdo]

OOoo! Me and My sister always sing those songs randomly out of nowhere and some of the songs are a Two part so we split it up.

[Giulia]

Me and my sis too!

[Mia, El Weirdo]

Haha!

My sis is a tomboy and hates barbies, my other sis... We don't get along so well but I'm sure she likes barbie
