It looks rough... [but] I think that in this case there are enough other things working that I can handle it.

A more passive-than-usual Barbie in lackluster holiday tale.

It’s the movie that started it all. Barbie movies have everything! From amazing scores, amazing ballet movements (which are so realistic. Because they were done by real ballet dancers from NewYork City Ballet) the story is amazing and the voice actors are just spectacular. Kelly Sheridan is the best Barbie!

Barbie in the Nutcracker was one of my favorite barbie movies as a kid and it still is today. Sure the animation is not perfect but that shouldn’t matter, I still enjoyed it. The storyline is very creative and the romance is so cute that it makes me giggle. Sure the story doesn’t follow the original one but this is a story of barbie. Barbie writes her own stories. I hope Barbie does a remake of it.

The birth of the Barbie multiverse. A nice mix of ballet, romance and girlbossification
