Barbie Princess Adventure

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 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!!

After seeing all the reviews on how amazing this movie was I was super excited. Going into it I loved a couple things: the animation was gorgeous, the dance moves were improved, the voice acting was great (except for Barbie), and the songs were beautiful. Now if only that would have made the story better. The concept is overused now and needs to stop. They tried to relate to kids and show things that aren't funny or cool. I wanted to see more of Amelia but they only show her a couple times. And I hated how Barbie and Amelia were the same person. They could've at least made her a brunette. Plus, the whole ending is a disaster. Every second the action was just thrown in random bits and ended in two seconds. Also, the singing was super out of place and didn't need to happen. Overall, don't bother.

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.

I wanted to like it,because the dream house adventures series is really good. But this fell short of what the series offers. The characters are shallow like others have said. All the songs scream me me me! Like at the end when everyone was singing and dancing together all they could sing is this is MY moment,all of them were there,why couldn't it be this is OUR moment. It seems selfish,and when your making your own decisions you should be willing to listen to your parents or a well meaning friend. It could have been a lot better.
