I'm definitely not one of those old people who claim that everything was better when they were young but...in this case it really was better when I was young. <br>My biggest problem with the new movies is that everything has this extremely sanitized image with "relatable normal girl" branding which Mattel equates to boring clothes and no whimsy anywhere. No plot, no action, nothing of anything really. Despite also being colorful visually, the vibes it gives me is "sad beige mom". Everything feels neutral, sanitized and flavorless. <br>They are so focused on being relatable and inclusive that they forget about whimsy dreamy fantasy. Little kids want to dream big, not watch a normal girl doing normal stuff. You can be inclusive while still being whimsical. (One good execution is the prosthetic fin!) <br>You don't have to make Barbie average and regular to be relatable. The Princess Barbies and the Fairy barbies had relatable personalities as well. <br>Of course I could simply ignore new releases and just rewatch the old stuff, but I am genuinely worried about how this boring format impacts the new generation.

The Barbie movies from 2001 to 2014 were something else. But maybe it's because I get hit with so much nostalgia whenever I see those movies. Charm school, Mariposa, princess end the pauper and fashion secret were just incredible. Barbie life in the dream house was also my favourite Barbie series.

I think some people don’t realize that we see disability representation in fairytopia, Elina is the only person with out wings, she cannot fly/travel like the others can

You can tell when the movies were bringing original ideas vs when they were copying pop culture trends.<br><br>Their pop-star/musical movies align with Hannah Montana and Disney channel musicals. Their superhero movies align with Marvel popularity. Their charm school movies align with Harry Potter. The video game movie aligns with Minecraft and Roadblox.<br><br>The great thing about the first 2 eras is that they are creating a new market and interest, not following other pop culture .
