Barbie Princess Adventure

It's an okay movie. I guess. The whole switching places idea has been done more than once before but this has to be the worst version. The whole movie is just bland. Everything!! The script, animations, storyline etc. it's just not good. A toddler would probably like it but no one else.

Honestly, have loved Barbie movies all the way up until their Princess and the Popstar debut, everything after has been deplorable. The worst thing about this movie is there is no plot that makes sense, and when you realize what plot they (kind of?) went for it was extremely shallow. They preach in the movie about being yourself but also choose not to recognize the privileges the princess has of getting everything she wants whenever, which sends kids the wrong message. Basically, be who you are if you have the means to. Characters looked like they were copy pasted and hardly anyone changed outfits throughout the movie so it's obvious production value was low. It's not worth the watch.

This movie is Perfect! Im telling it has a very nice soundtrack and everything! I love the princess, she is nice and she wants to find out more about herself. Has great lessons and very inspiring!!

Starting off: Reused storylines. We have seen the "oh somewhat normal person switches lives with a princess and learn to be themselves" literally three times now. The Princess and The Pauper was the first one, which was a PHENOMENAL movie. Then we had The Princess and The Popstar, which to be honest was not that bad. Sure it was just a copy of The Princess and The Pauper, but the animation was okay, the characters were likable, and the music was great. And then... you have THIS. Stale characters, all of them nearly identical, with bad characterization. Barbie and Amelia are the exact same character. Bland, boring, rich girls. Mediocre songs, stale animation, and awful writing.

Next up: The character designs and modeling. The costumes for the characters are ATROCIOUS. T-Shirts with a ball gown skirt, with stars all over it? TACKY. The previous barbie movies, she's worn beautiful dresses, with somewhat accurate designs to the time period. In this one, they tried to fuse modern designs with royal designs. And they failed. The models of the props were AWFUL, looking like cheap plastic with rough edges. Honestly, you can tell they went cheap with this. Now, I don't blame the crew for this, I would never. The real problem is clearly the companies running it.

The sets: Now, I get they were trying to be clever and make it all look like a dollhouse, but honestly, they failed. It just looked bad and tacky.

The biggest issue is that they tried to be clever with this. We don't want Barbie to be the main character, she's much better when she's an actress, playing someone else. When they write Barbie as the main character, she just melds into the background with all the other characters, until they're a blob of fart jokes, fAsHiOn, clumsy, and dumb moments. There is nothing memorable about this movie, and I think the companies behind it need to go back to their roots. Because if they continue down this road, they will have no fans left. You want animation to be enjoyable for both kids, parents and adult fans. And honestly? I don't even think KIDS would enjoy this movie. 1/10, I would give 0/10 if I could.

This one is kind of like "Princess and the Popstar". I'm not saying it's not good. It's kind of enjoyable for some length. But watching the same plot with some extra things couldn't give me the taste of watching a whole different plot. So, if they have done it with some different plot and not repeating the old ones, it'd be better.

Original scores need to be improved. The songs are not good as those ones in "Princess and the Popstar".

All in all, although it's an old plot, it's not that good but not that bad either. It's like it's in the middle. So, I'd say it's enjoyable for first watch.
