You should do a review of Eragon if you get the chance.
Review part 2 of YOU pleaseee
There are still 2 more Harry potter movies alex 😅 2 more after the half blooded Prince, unless you haven't released them yet 😮🤔
They don’t ship to Australia!! Ugh
You should do cheaper by the dozen
Annalise: “I wish I could just read books all day.”
Erica: “I wish I could read.”
One is a star in a princess movie and one is a star in a unicef advert
wait another character who doesn't know how to read
😱 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
But at the end of the day they both want freedom, and life without freedom is torture (obviously the proper amount of freedom) One has to live for others shoving her own wants out of the way and the other who can’t live a life she wants because she’s a debt (I mean they both are but I think you get what I mean)
The way these Barbie movies were animated is so iconic but yet kinda creepy tbh
god dang another alex fan
father give me the gun
So true.
Yeah I agree 😊
@DontReadMyProfilePicture.0 why
J
I love how this movie marketed Annelise and Erika as best friends, but they barley interact throughout the movie.
Literally my first thought!!!
they marketed them as switching places but that didn't happen
@@AJGaming-wh8rfthey did briefly just not on purpose. Annalise was forced to work at the dress shop when Madame Carp mistook her for Erica
@@AJGaming-wh8rfErika took her place briefly after she got kidnapped.
out of the good guys, i'm pretty sure erika and julian interacted the most.
Why did it take me all these years to realize when Anneliese says, "But I'd rather be in my library reading science books all day" is just her wanting to hang out with Julien
I just thought she was a nerd...
and now I'm realising from you..... Anneliese sure was sly wasn't she
Honestly I don't think it is. She seems to, in the brief moments that we see, genuinely enjoy learning about science. Sure, we can say that's just because Julian is her teacher but ngl it's hard to fake love for science lol I think it's something that she's genuinely interested in and having Julian as the one person who supports her in having those passions is what brings them closer together, rather than her liking the subject just because she likes him.
@@raindawnson9254 Couldn't have said it better myself.
ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
You know you grew up with these movies when the animation doesn’t even phase you 😂
EXACTLY LOL
I Agree 😂😂
Me too I was basically obsessed 😂😂
agreed LMAO
no because why do i remember the quality looking so good
I can’t believe Barbie played both the princess and the pauper in this movie, say what you will about it but there’s no denying she’s a super talented actress
Really? 👁️👄👁️
@@minfires7572yessss
And in another movie she even plays twelve dancing sisters OoO
@@rzuue her range is just incredible
I than to forget barbie acting in this movie
okay but you can’t lie, those movies had SO much personality
RIGHT?!
Yea..If only all animated movies could match even this energy 😂
They really did, they need to bring them back. Kids nowadays are missing out. Monster High, Bratz, My Scene, Ever After High, Barbie- those were the highlights of my childhood that are pretty much gone now
@@onceafetus426 and everything is just a repeat or a rerun or a reimagined or a sequel
nothing original anymore
@@Desireeanimates You summed it up just right. Idk if it's because all the good ideas are taken or people are just lazy
i will never accept barbie slander. those 2000s barbie movies were my childhood
Mine too. Personally, my favorite was 12 dancing princesses. What was yours?
Yeah watching this was hard bc barbie was my childhood. I legit cry of nostalgia just by the soundtrack. Just gotta remind myself this is a meme channel
@@an-animal-lover 12 dancing princesses always my top fav, gonna watch with my bf soon
@@an-animal-lover that's my no 1 too, i love barbie but Alex is also funny lmao
Mine was the Barbie and the diamond castle
You have to admit. A kids movie where the girl actually achieves her dream before willingly giving it up for her bf is a complete rarity
That's so true! Erica is a Queen because of that!!
The man is supportive too!! I love him so much! I need a man like that lol
Not necessarily giving it up, rather completing it first
Aaand you’re always free to give up your dreams 🎶
And you’re always free to be queen 🎶
When you impersonate 🎶
Your new boyfriends date 🎶
You problems will be soooolved 🎶
But if she achieved it, did she really "give it up "?
Erica: “Annalise? you have the same name as the princess!”
Annalise, wearing a full pooffy gown with a tiny blue cape with a hood: “Well….”
More like: Well~ 🤭💎💸👑
Also she herself made the dress. She even sings about how she made it
@@lisapenske5444 she wasn't the one who sold it though. The dress could've potentially been bought by anyone who could afford it🤷♀
A dress ERICA made!
Serafina had the best line in the movie: “No, I am not okay. My mistress is inside with two hooligans and I've got dirt, dirt on my bum!”
this line made me laugh every time as a kid
I remember that 😂!! Pure gold!!
That line is hilarious! Also, hi from a fellow Ellie Dashwood viewer! I watch her videos a lot so I recognize your handle Roy, lol
lol!
For a second I forgot you meant the white cat 😂
To give a little context to the "just like me" serenade between the two of them- they recognize the chasm of privilege between them, but the bridge that binds them together is being unhappy in the life that they are in and wanting freedom from it but still choosing to do the right thing. That's what Erica was meaning when she said I am a girl like you.
Thank you for putting that so eloquently. The number one complaint I hear about this movie is that people don't understand the song I Am A Girl Like You. Yes the song starts with them comparing situations, but they also include how they feel about their situations. If you combine that with their conversation before the song (about the arranged marriage and servitude) and what they sang about in the previous song, Free, it makes sense that they are similar. They both have responsibilities that stand between them and their dreams and feel deeply about it.
Thank you!! so many people completely miss the mark when they hear that song, I think it might be because they don't expect a Barbie movie to have so much depth so they don't consider things as deeply. They obviously know that they aren't the same due to their living circumstances, but they are the same in choosing responsibility over freedom/happiness. It brings them together because they understand each others' internal struggles despite coming from two very different backgrounds.
I also find it funny that people say Annalise is being blind to her privilege by saying she’s just like Erika, but also that she’s bragging when she talks about the life of a princess. Annalise and Erika are both clearly aware of the difference in their situation, but they’re bonded by a sense of responsibility and duty that has trapped them in a circumstance they’re unhappy with.
P.S. if Erika had said “I’m just like you” and Annalise was like “Actually I’m rich so no” that would be insane like of course she agrees
Thank you! I can't tell if they're purposely misunderstanding it bc it's funnier to frame it in the most surface level possible, or if people really struggle this much with media literacy in a kids movie. You all said it best so I don't have much to add. But I agree with the person who said they may just not expect any depth in a Barbie movie so they don't bother trying to see it. What's that Annaliese said about the geode? "Unassuming on the outside, but a treasure within". That's this movie in a nutshell.
Hope Alex covers ‘Barbie as the island princess’ soon. Genuinely wanna see his reaction to Barbie in a toxic relationship with an elephant 🤣
Lol that movie is like something they show in high school as a way to help identify toxicity in your friend group
I think I'm the only person on this planet who actually LIKES the elephant
I’m sorry… what?
An elephant with the most luscious pair of eyelashes and beautiful pretty eyes😂
😂??
You can tell who grew up with these movies if you're not freaked out with some of the characters designs😂
Never once thought they were creepy. Heck I fell asleep to multiple of these when I was a kid. I will force my future kids to watch em too. Indoctrinate them early.
@@antilikka this makes me so hopeful for the future
@@antilikka yeah 😂
I “forced” my little sister and my nieces to watch it, they actually like it and ask me to watch a Barbie movie when we are together 🩷
I grew up with these movies, especially this one but I find the designs of the villains terrifying. But I’ve like not seen a kids movie without the blatantly scary design of villains, otherwise they’d not get who is the villain (other than frozen, which Elsa is kinda the misunderstood villain and hans is the real villain, they look human to say the least)
I CANNOT believe you completely skipped over the seranade Annica does for her cat about how she loves him just the way he is. My mom straight up stil sings that to me sometimes and I'm in my 20s now
Wait what’s the song called?
@@Bi.Panic. Its called The Cat’s Meow! ^^
Agree! That's my favorite part in the movie!
It's genuinely hilarious that you mashed up the two main character's names into the name of the protagonist of another Barbie movie
right?! it's the best part of the movie
No joke after seeing this movie so many times, I was completely blown away at how shocked you were at the cat barking.
I’ve watched this movie on repeat when I was little and now I’m barely understanding the plot cus it slipped my mind before 😭
i just loved how calm the narrator was when she said "the kingdom was now bankrupt" it gets me every time
Edit: thanks so much for all the likes i have never got this many before
😂😂😂😂
"The kingdom was now bankrupt 🥰😘✨💃"
"The kingdom had now defaulted on all its debts and the common folk had the net worth of a pigeon."
She says it like she's the one that caused it.
I sure hope this becomes a series, cause there are lots of other Barbie movies you gotta subject yourself too
Agreed! 🎉
Absolutelyyy! would love to see him do movies like rapunzel!
Yes he needs to do thid
ALL the Barbie fairy movies. There's like four of those iirc
nutcracker *nutcracker* *NUTCRACKER*
barbie movies were my whole childhood! especially the princess and the pauper
god dang another alex fan
father give me the gun
Island Princess was my favourite one😂
Right? It was my favorite of the barbie movies, I even had some of the dolls from this movie
I’m just like youuuu~
Same sis same!!
i feel like annalise's song lyric fits well to explain her own plight. "You may think that im so lucky, that I have so many things. Im realising that every present comes with strings"
Yeah I think people forget...Princesses don't really hold any real power, and are mostly just used as pawns to be married off and exploited. I mean she was literally about to get forcefully married to a guy when she clearly didn't want to be, I'd hardly say her life is easy.
Fun fact : Julian's VA is also the VA for L from Death Note.
Yes L basically sings - ✨To be a princess✨
Bruh that’s crazy
Yup. And Kelly Sheridan, the voice of Barbie most grew up in is also the English VA for Sango in Inuyasha. Oh and Brie Larson (Captain Marvel) sang the theme song for Barbie and the Pegasus.
Also the guy that did the music for a lot of the Barbie movies (Arnie Roth) is also the same guy who's been directing/arranging the Final Fantasy Distant Worlds concerts
Omg my watt pad is coming try
WHAAAATT
Look, I'm 24 years old. I'm objectively too old to watch the old Barbie movies. But Barbie Rapunzal and Barbie Mermadia are unironically still two of my favorite movies.
Barbie Mermaidia is etched into my brain. The scenery, colors, fairy and mermaid transformations in the same movie. It got all my child self wanted.
I immediately thought of Barbie Rapunzel when Tangled came out and she liked to paint. Barbie Rapunzel is iconic
I have never watched any of these movies, but you are never too old to watch any movies. They are meant for entertainment and if they entertain you then they do their job. Entertainment is ageless!
i'm 23 and i've watched all Barbie movies since i was a kid until now (except the 2017 revamp and above), and i have all the movies in 1080p in my laptop lol.. My fav used to be 12 Dancing Princess & Diamond Castle, but now my fav is Island Princess (i never got to watched it when i was a kid, but now that i watched it it's soo good)
I couldn’t agree more
Fun fact: this is the first ‘singing’ movie of Barbie of this franchise
Musical but yeah 😊
@@gracekim25 well I put ‘singing’ because that’s how Alex put it. “It’s one of those singing movies”
their best one too
But nutcracker sure did have lots of musical dance breaks
@@alyssajolley965 yes but they weren't actually singing. Honestly barbie movies before princess and the pauper had musical dance breaks
Hope Alex does the one where Barbie’s sister is a talking horse that flies😂
Pegasus😂
That Pegasus was hot ngl
Magic of the Pegasus
Annika and Brietta
That skater girl?😂 Lolllll
Omg yesss
You missed the best bit of the movie the credits! Preminger staring at himself saying in the mirror "it's me looking at you looking me, lucky me" and Serafina terrified to do the roof jump and the stunt cat keeps 'dying' and says to get her agent on the phone. Master piece 🤣
Oh my God 😂the credits with Serafina is iconic I remember that so well. This video is so hilarious and nostalgic 😅😂
And Julien breaking into dance out of nowhere HAHA Absolutely iconic!
Bro i remember this 😂😂😂
That's what he said? I never got to hear it.
I’m going to admit it. I’ve seen almost all the Barbie movies as a kid. I just realised that they’re just that much better as an adult
Even while watching Alex absolutely trash the movie, I really wanted to go back and watch it because I love it so much 😂
How?
Please keep doing these. We really need Mermaidia, Fairytopia, Swan Lake, Rapunzel, the 12 dancing princesses, and the magic of the Pegasus, and omg what about Barbie and her sisters in a Pony Tail just bc of the title 😭🤣
I cannot wait to see him respond to the animation of Rapunzel and The Barbie Diaries, it's even worse than this one 😭😂
He really needs to watch Barbie and the nutcracker. I swear that one was nightmare fuel
Barbie diaries please 😂 I loved that movie but the animation is WILD
"Repunzal" has me in stitches
@@bananablues142 Rapunzel and Diaries can’t even be compared in terms on animation
PLEASE, early 2000 Barbie movies introduced me and a whole generation to the ballet bangers! I'm obsessed with Tchaikovsky as an adult because of those movies! QUALITY, CULTURE!
Never thought I'd see the day that Alex would watch Barbie movies... Welcome to the club
he's finally joined us.
@@ddjsoyenby Wait until he gets to the recent ones, a song every minute 🤣, we still watch them tho
From the 'newer' movies the one you JUST HAVE TO do is the charm school one. Portia is too hilarious and iconic to miss.
I just found a channel that posts the old movies and it has that one
You mean that redhead who always goes "whaaa"?
@@victorlolxd7347 whats the channel?
@@kieyradawson8854”Barbie official”
The princess switch and the parent trap are based off a novel by Erich Kästner "Lisa and Lottie" (literally called Parent trap in the UK and Australia).
Twins separated at birth who aim to reunite their parents.
The princess and the pauper is based on the fairy tale "The prince and the pauper"
Two little boys that look alike despite both having two parents and not being related.
Basically doppelgangers.
Two different concepts.
This needs to be higher up
Thanks I didn’t know there was a original source for Parent Trap before the Hayley mills movie
The german title is "Das doppelte Lottchen" , that translates into something like "the double Lottie" or "Lottie times two" or something like that..
@@elisamaza8909 grew up with the movie "das doppelte Lottchen". Very entertaining and with great music!
@@CeltyKol they’re just explaining no need to be standoffish
YOOOOOO, the silence at 9:32😂😂😂😂 music really does make a difference
Oh, Alex... Just wait until you see the animated elephant on the Island Princess movie. Or the dogs in Diamond Castle. Or EVERYONE in Barbie Diaries.
Barbie animators knew how to design and animate the classic Barbie and nothing else lol
Or Bibble!
@@coiler_119 bibble actually looked ok-ish
@@No_quema_cuh.1 you're right, I just remembered the turtle from Mermadia gives more uncanny valley. But Bibble is just iconic
Oh god, what were the animators thinking with Barbie Diaries😂
My childhood favorite was the Island Princess. I really hope he covers that one.
Barbie: "Ive always loved you"
Julian: "Ive been keeping a wig replica of your hair for years and made a replacement for you in a day".
Match made in heaven.
Hah!!! 😂😂😬😂😂😅 I can't...
I loved Princess and the Pauper as a child, and together with 12 Dancing Princesses, Nutcracker, Rapunzel, and Swan Lake, it will probably always be one of my favourite Barbie movies. And the music was great during the classics. I mean the score. It just wasn't the same anymore when they switched to modern Barbie and Pop songs.
Don’t forget the magic Pegasus!!
And the princess island!
Real!
So true
honestly the music from this film is always in my head.. not just the lyrics, the literal music, it just sticks with you
5:39
“They did it to FEED me”
“Their mistake”
I laughed so hard
🎉
But like, dude, where's your sympathy, seamstress lady who only gets like two scenes' worth of dialogue?
Barbie in the princess and the pauper is SO iconic and legendary in the Barbie fandom
It really changed my brain chemistry
I don’t think I ever actually watched the whole movie with my sister but the song “I’m just like you” periodically pops into my head to this day
As a Brarbie fan it's actually my least favorite of the original 6. The best is 12 Dancing Princesses
never getting over them animating bloopers, so iconic
I keep forgetting that Pixar isn't the only studio that has done that.
@@KeybladeMasterAndy Pixar plagiarized the Barbie movies wbk
@@edithputhy4948 no they didn’t 😅
They did it so they could break the suspense of disbelief. It helps assuage viewers that we're not watching an actual thing that happened. It's fictional and the actors are fine, they're just playing roles. You get the same effect from the final bow in theatre.
Its the whole barbie saga backstory. Where all these classic barbie movies are actually just directed and filmed in the actual barbie universe. Where the actual barbie is acting in all these movies.
I love these movies and no one can ever convince me they are anything other than masterpieces. The animation definitely shows its age, but the stories are just so enjoyable
Exactly my favorites were Rapunzel and swan lake
@@FlawlessQueen0906 both very good choices
This one is my fav but i also love Barbie and the diamond castle as well as Barbie and the 12 dancing princesses. Waiit and honestly barbie as the island princess.
@@xeecstasy3183 oh my gosh how could I forget about the 12 dancing princess I had the CD PC game it was awesome I loved that movie and game and the other Barbie game I had was Barbie secret agent it was the best!!! I’m a grown woman but I would still play that game if I could
AGREED!!
The old Barbie movies had so much heart in them that I had no trouble looking past the bad animation bahaha
Also it was the early 2000s when 3D animation was sorta new so I'm giving them a pass 😅
2004
Nothing like reliving the 2000’s nostalgia
god dang another alex fan
father give me the gun
1990s
Hi
@@silvervr5911 what is wrong with you why are you in every comment and why are you hating on alex
@@nvv2452 there's to many of them
Pleaseee make this a series. This was one of my favorite Barbie movies. It would be a great recap to see the others.
I agree. I would love top see Alex review other Barbie movies.
I want him to review The Nutcracker, Swan Lake, and Mermaidia so bad lmao
@@alexandrarainbow520 I’ve yet to see Mermaidia
I would love it. I haven't seen most of them but alex is entertaining so this world be gold. .... sounds like we found the most gold lol
My farts are better than Alex’s farts
When I watched this movie as an adult I realized the score and song orchestrations were WAY better than they had any right to be. Glad someone else noticed too😂
I rewatched all the movies that came out (up to 2022 at least) and honestly, you are so right! All the songs for the earlier movies are great and the new titles need to step up their game. Not that the newer ones don't have any good songs, but they DEFINITELY strike out more often
@@areetablack5301 having classically trained singers (like julie stevens for erika and alessandro juliani for julian) also helps a lot and gives it more of a musical theatre feel.
The "do crack" at 12:46 made me fall off my chair
These movies formed my entire personality as a child. To this day I unironically listen to the soundtracks from some of these films. Core memories for sure.
I have made "But in my head, I'm back in bed. Snuggle up and sleeping late" of Erika a mantra for when I'm tired... XP I just can't help it. It is just my everyday mood.
I can’t wait to see Alex’s reaction to the code word “bibble” 😳😂
This brings me back to when I was 4. I had a talking Bibble plushie. I loved Bibble. My mom hated him with a passion. Mom says now that Bibble would talk even when he was turned off and didn't have batteries. I distinctly remember asking her "mommy Bibble won't talk to me anymore!" And she acted like she didn't know what happened. Years later she admitted to ripping the entirety of his voicebox and wires out, filling the gap with extra stuffing and sewing him back up. I'm still not sure if I've fully forgiven her for what she did to Bibble but being an adult now I at least understand why she did it. Rip Bibble
@@OmegaTheSillyWolf I had something similar to that but with my furby that would love to randomly make noises at night and I understood my family’s trauma from the how freaky my furby would act, especially blinking it’s eyes when it’s not even supposed to. This does make me scared as a parent when my kids have toys around the house and I’m home alone to have the toy go off by it’s self. RIP bibble, thanks for sharing your story 😊
@@FrostHeart2 let the tradition live on. Mute them, permanently, lmao and feign innocence. If I become a parent to a kid with something like Bibble I wouldn't hesitate lol
@@OmegaTheSillyWolf damn I thought you meant that he was possesed or something
@@undiamas2069 He coulda been lol but he stopped talking when she took out his voicebox and I haven't seen him in years so the world may never know lmao
Starting your Barbie adventure with Princess and the Pauper is a bold choice. I won’t say they’re all downhill from there, but they’re pretty much all downhill from there. You’ve peaked before you’ve even begun.
Edit: maybe you’ll revisit it after you’ve gotten more under your belt and realize what a gem it is compared to many of the other Barbie movies.
Personally Rapunzel is my favorite
@@charissadubin9355 Oh! I absolutely love Rapunzel as well! That's why I said "pretty much all". Rapunzel and a couple others were specifically in my mind.
The 12 Dancing Princesses is great too, even though I haven't seen it in years.
I think Island Princess and 12 Dancing Princesses can also measure up. 3 Musketeers and Diamond Castle are up there too, but not top tier. Of the newer ones (they're a separate category), Princess Adventure, Fashion Fairytale, and Princess Charm School were pretty good, but not the level of Princess and the Pauper
Island Princess is iconic too
these movies have a special place in my heart, even modern animation can’t replace these horrifying- i mean beautiful 3d models
The animation reminds me now of a video game, which isn’t a bad thing.
I would watch 12DP even after I got older, so I got used to how it looked.
_How Can I Refuse_ is a far better villain song than it needed to be, and I adore it.
Totally agree!
YES!!!
🎵🎶Sooooooo geeeeet
Ready with the roses and stand by with the champagne
Cus when you’ve got brilliant plan you’ll never lose 🎶🎵
Why was there no music sound tho???
@@jazgonz6267 Probably to avoid copyright. Hehe.
I'm 26, but Princess and the Pauper and Magic of the Pegasus are still my all-time favorite Barbie movies, and I'd sometimes still rewatch them for a lil pick-me-up. 😅
Are you me? 🤨
Yesss and I loved the island princess and the Diamond castle
Where can I watch them!!! I haven’t watched so many of them for so long
I'm just like you, you're just like me..." lmao
Me too!!!!! I have all the DVDs STILL!
My favorite part of this movie as a kid was the card scene.
"I happen to know you got a 5 of hearts."
"You mean you cheated!"
"Yeah! I mean, no..."
Me and my brother reinact that scene all the time to this day.
6:05 "why hell-o" with this expression. Love it
Okay yes Annaliese did tell Erica about her comfortable life after just hearing her talk about her depressing one buuuuut she didn't want to talk about it and did read the room, but Erica *did* ask and encouraged her to go on when Annaliese was clearly reluctant about it.
Good point !!
Exactly I feel like people really don't give Annaliese enough credit. They hear Erika's story and immediately compare her to Ann. It's messed up, Ann didn't CHOOSE to be born as a princess the way Erika didn't choose to be born poor. Ann is shown to be kind and compassionate. Ann doesn't brag or boast about her comfort and while she is, I'm sure, grateful for it, she doesn't need it or ask for it. I don't think that warrants people saying that she should just shut up and be happy and not be allowed to complain or have any wishes or even that she should reject what she's been given. She is already a generous person. They ignore the parts about Anns life that might be hard, like studying too much, maintaining a royal demeanor, royal responsibilities like social meetings, and having responsibility over a whole kingdom which leave her with little time for hobbies or fun just like Erika. Both want something more than what they have and didn't choose the life they live, they each have issues albeit different but that's not to say that one's struggle is less than the other. Yet some people choose to side with Erika just because she's poor. They should follow Erika's example and be more accepting and kind. She never makes the princess feel bad for what she has and instead understands her issues and finds someone she can relate to inside the princess. Erika is an amazing person and people should strive to be like her.
@@dude53 But Analliese's reaction didn't even make sense. Erika is a slave to debt, complaining about how hard she works, and Annaliese says her life is really easy in response. Idk what to believe. Was Annalliese bragging? Was Annaliese stating facts? Was she implying that she herself is extremely privileged to highlight how unfortunate Erika is? The song doesn't say.
@@rubenaalexander5007 Literally just telling her what her life is like because Erika did it first. As the comment above pointed out Ann wasn't sure if she should share because, I think it's safe to assume, she's conscious it could make Erika feel bad. Then Erika herself tells her to go ahead.
@@rubenaalexander5007 plus I think she spoke about breakfast because that's what Erika sang about which just happened to perfectly illustrate Erika's struggles. While for Ann it doesn't, still that's not to say Ann doesn't have any struggles whatsoever.
This is about to be quite a historic journey , Alex going thru all the Barbie movies.
Strap in everyone, we're in for a nostalgic, hilarious ride😂
Listen. As a 31yo who never got to watch the barbie movies as a kid, it's been my adult dream to watch them but I'm too embarrassed.
If Alex does all 40ish of them, my life will be one step closer to completion. This was fantastic.
watch the first 2 generations! you won't regret it!
Please watch them! You won't regret it. Even if you don't like the movies, you'll find a lot of amazing songs you will treasure for years to come
Girl, just watch them. No one needs to know. I swear you'll have so much fun!
Aw, don’t be embarrassed mate. You should be able to watch what you want 😊
I absolutely love all of the encouragement to just watch them! I'm one of those "kidults" who buys those mini craft toys and slime, so I'm already partially embarrassed by that lol
I'll have to watch them anyway. You're all right!
This movie was my freaking childhood. My sister has the same name as the protagonist so it was special to her, we had the dolls, the carriage, Saraphina. It also told me that I prefer smart, devoted guys in Julian. I got a little defensive there for a second, as in Presenger (I don’t know how to spell his name) his plan was to frame Julian and Erika for the princess’s murder, which actually might’ve worked, the queen was very naive. But you also pointed out something I never noticed, which was the freaking SPIDER HORSE OH MY GOSH. And you killed me with the gene pool jokes 😂.
I would love if you did more, this was awesome. Thanks, Alex!
The early Barbie movies truly, unironically contributed to my love of classical music and pursuit of it into my adult life, they will always hold a special place in my heart. Also this sneakily ties in well with the teen drama tv show coverage; the voice actor for Julian is the actor for Sinclair in The 100 and Dr. Cerberus on Chilling Adventures of Sabrina!

Same!!!! I used to want to be a ballerina because I loved the Tchaikovsky songs from the barbie movies (and classic Disney too because of sleeping beauty). He's still my favorite classical composer but Bach is a close second followed up by Beethoven. Sadly I am not a ballerina but I'm still utterly mesmerized by classical music when it plays
Me three! I'm pursuing a classical vocal and piano degree and Barbie was definitely the main childhood inspiration behind that choice
The songs were really amazing in this movie, especially "I am a Girl like You" and "Free", which were insanely catchy!
how can i refuse is ICONIC
Even the cat's meow
The soundtrack plays in my head all the time and Preminger resides in my mind rent free. He needs to pay his rent. It’s overdue by three years.
I'm so glad he's doing the old Barbie movies! Mermaidia and Twelve Dancing Princesses were always my favorites
Just here to congratulate Alex on getting his video back! 😆
I love these 2000s Barbie movies. Diamond Castle, Nutcracker and Magic of Pegasus were my favourite
oh my gosh yes Diamond Castle!!! me and my sister loved that one.
Diamond Castle's songs are a bop.
Diamond Castle was literally my favourite for a few years
Diamond castle is really great especially the songs but 12 dancing princesses is my nr 1
@@Simbala-bq5vy mine too. I love 12 Dancing Princesses. I can quote the whole movie backwards and forwards.
As a person who has rewatched a couple of Barbie movies at two in the morning with couple of my friends, I indeed agree that Barbie movies are insane. A very insane part of my childhood memory that I will never forget. 😌😌
My farts are better than Alex’s farts
Ok if you say so
8:31 cats actually can bark, its just rare if they are smart enough (or dumb enough) to try it.
Its called a mark!
fun fact: i'm from Brazil, and here they translated The Princess Switch to "A Princesa e a Plebeia", which is also the exact brazilian title of this Barbie movie. So when Netflix announced The Princess Switch, everybody went bonkers thinking it was live action Princess and the Pauper starring Vanessa Hudgens
That must've been so disappointing 😭
Eu lembro disso kkkkkkkk
@@luisasouza2146 o surtooo

Wut a sick joke fr Netflix should’ve been sued lmao
I was obsessed with these movies when I was a kid. The original ones, and I had the Annalise and Erica barbies that could sing together! My fave was rapunzel, Swan lake and the nutcracker. Can't believe I still remember that!
OMG I forgot about the singing barbies.
I had those singing barbies too! Good times haha
*You had the dolls!?*
Lucky 😆
I was the exact opposite of the intended audience of that movie and my sister was the only reason I ever watched it, but Princess and the Pauper is THE GOAT. The human villains were the best.
My farts are better than Alex’s farts
Why didn't Preminger just go after the queen in the first place? He was already her trusted advisor
fr
Probably increase his ability to stay in charge. But once he has Annalise trapped in the mines then it doesn't matter
I don’t know if any other film series has done it before 2000s but the bloopers of the Barbie movies played before the credit rolls was like my first exposure to Actor AU.
Yea the toy story movies did it as well
I find it so funny when Anneliese is singing abt how her morning goes and then suddenly Ericka sings “I’m just like you” LIKE GIRL NO 💀
EDIT: pls this is a joke I love this movie growing up and YES I know well enough that even when as a kid watching this I do know what the song is about and how even though they are different social classes they both want to be free in doing in whatever they want.
I think it's really because they both wish they had a different life. Of course annelise is much more fortunate than Erica but they both want to be "free".
I love this movie because even if one has less than the other they still aren’t able to have the freedom to do the things they want to do. I especially love it when Ericka said that. Since even though she is in debt she can understand even someone like a princess can have struggles too. So I’d say they are exactly alike and I love that.
That wasn’t the point of the song 😭😭 it was just about the freedom
NO PLS THIS WAS A JOKE 😭😭
I love this movie and I know its abt freedom 😭
The point of the song is that they both have dreams of being somewhere else and be somebody else even though they have very different backgrounds
The princess and the popper singing “IM JUST LIKE YOU-“ was my entire childhood
Mine was Caillu pinching his baby sister until he got what he wanted. Like who let that happen😂😝
15:47 "Please just call me Daddy" oh no you didnt have to ruin my childhood like that HAAA
But he is a kind of "sugar daddy".
I'm impressed that you basically managed to remove the entire, non-stop score from this film without warping the vocals 😂 Also, at 24, this is still genuinely one of my favourite films! It's a masterpiece!
There are AI tools such as AudioStrip that can do it for you very easily and in good quality :D
@@Kanahani Ah, fair! I've had training in sound engineering, and it used to take so long for me to get clean vocal audio like that (I may just not have been very good), and to hear that there's now an AI that just does it is heartbreaking 😂😂
Still made them sound weird
Alex has literally cured my depression at this point.
god dang another alex fan
father give me the gun
Him n Dylan uploading today makes my Monday better
Yesss😭💕
Same🤣
This video was just great.
This movie walked so that The Princess Switch could RUN.
Princess and the Pauper is iconic in every way from the songs to the animation to the characters (specifically Preminger) and I really hope you cover even more of these movies. (I recommend going with either Swan Lake or Magic of Pegasus after this!)
I didn’t think this was possible, but you’ve gotten even funnier over the years. Thanks for all the great times!
I really hope when Alex is doing the very first Barbie movie (The Nutcracker) he will watch the making-of as well. Simply because they actually hired professional ballet dancers and used motion tracker for the dances in the movie. It is so beautiful.
And Arnie Roth, the conductor of the first two movies, has been conducting the Final Fantasy Distant Worlds concerts for years now. :3
10:56 omg it's the horse that looks like timithée chalamet
It's SO unfortunate that you had to cut the music from this video. This is a huge nostalgia trip for me and I wish I could hear it in its full glory. Being a kid and being that it was early 2000's when this was made, I could forgive the poor animation and interesting choices they made. I just remember absolutely loving the songs and the characters, my favorite being "The Cat's Meow."
They've added a couple of barbie movies to Netflix! Not this one though 🤔 But maybe it'll still get added, I hope so
You can find the song compilations here on YT if you search for it
Fun fact: Guy that did the music for a lot of the Barbie movies (Arnie Roth) is also the same guy who's been directing/arranging the Final Fantasy Distant Worlds concerts

“Sonic is Sanic
Link is Lonk
Everyday, I think about that badonk.”
My 4 year old is OBSESSED with that Barbie Dolphin Magic movie, so I can’t wait for Alex to do that one. It’s got everything…weird colored dolphins, Ken being a doofus, random ass songs….it’s perfect.
Growing up my dad would actually request to watch this movie even when me and my sister wanted to watch a different barbie movie. It was his favourite one and he still sings the main song to this day, i think he liked it even more than we did 😂
Thats the cutest thing ever😭my dad still calls me over when barbie is playin on the tv I'm not complaining tho
We love a king who's secure with his sexuality. A true man watches Barbie. I said what I said.
Barbie movies were my childhood. I can't count how many times I watched Princess and the pauper and Diamond castle. Alex just saved my day with this!
Same!! "Connected" from DC is literally a banger!❤
My farts are better than Alex’s farts
Same! I loved that movie.
@@adritasarwaradritasarwar3373 literally all of the songs from the old barbie movies were soooooo good
@@adritasarwaradritasarwar3373 Oh yeah you're so right also 2 voices 1 song and Were gonna find it believe is actually pretty great too
I think if you watched these as a 7 year old in 2002 they aren't that creepy 😂
True! 👏👏
Did i hear that right?? 15:49 👁️👄👁️
He said to call her daddy
I actually love this movie for how they dont weight their problems and are just like : "yeah, we both are not happy in our current life situation". These "whos life sucks more" competitions can get really annoying xD
I love that Erika’s mom, while being in the movie past the four minute mark, was in it so little that you thought that both of her parents were dead lmao.
I assumed they WERE dead😂
She WASN'T DEAD?????
she WASN'T??? WHERE WAS SHE
WHAT?? where is she later in the movie? 😭
What do you mean Erika's mother isn't dead??
11:12 WHY IS NO ONE TALKING ABT THE HORSE’S SCREAM😭😭😭
Did anyone else get the singing Barbie dolls of Annalise and Erica and worked with a sibling to time it so that the harmonies happened at the exact right moment? It took us about 30 minutes. It was frikkin AWESOME. 😅😍
CORE MEMORY
Princess and the Pauper was truly a moment in time, the world never was the same
This first era of Barbie movies was a huge part of my childhood!! I can’t wait to see you do the rest of them😂
17:16 I’m rolling! I never noticed the horse until you pointed it out 😭😭
The Barbie I would never forget is BARBIE AND THE ISLAND PRINCESS. Many memories, what I would do to watch it again.
The songs in Diamond castle where beautiful. Used to sing it with my cousin.
Solid movie, Elephant still haunts my dreams.
I still know the lyrics to all the songs, especially that lullaby. Damn, that movie is nostalgic as hell.
OH MY GOD YES!!!
In all honesty the old Barbie movies are better than the newer ones for me......like why is she suddenly becoming a super hero with supper powers from a butterfly??? classics like the 12 dancing princesses, mariposa and fairytopia are still the best for me🤧
Tbf Barbie's trademark is literally being anything and everything. It's not really outlandish for the franchise
@@silvergust Sure but I guess it's more about the way it is done. I think many people have the impression that they put more thought behind the magical powers of the old movies or just into the world building in general even if they were still rather simple.
I agree 100%. I stopped actively watching new Barbie movies when "Pearl Princess" came out back in 2014 (I was 8 back then) and have watched every one before that and I gotta say the artstyle on the newer ones is so bad. I will always love and cherish the old Barbie movies. My kids are gonna watch them!! I dont care if theyre boys or girls theyre gonna give em a try.
The only female protag who could make butterfly-themed powers seem cool was Bayonetta.
FINALLY someone mentions mariposa!! such an underrated one
As a 27 year old man, I am very nostalgic for these movies. I loved these movies and this one had such a great soundtrack.
My Barbie nostalgia is somewhere between the 2001-2009 and the 2009-2015 gens. Like I distinctively remember watching Rapunzel and the Princess and the Pauper, but I also loved Barbie in a Mermaid Tale.
13:22 “how small is the gene pool in this town”😭😭😭
To be fair the Barbie movies actually pioneered a lot of the 3d motion capture technology for the ballet movies. They had the Newyork ballet create entirely new ballets for the 12 dancing princesses.
That's so extra of them I love it 💅
I didn't watch most of the Barbie movies as a kid, but my generation grew up on them. I don't know whether we were taking our cues from them or whether they just had their finger on the pulse of what little girls love to do, but the plot of this is EXACTLY the type of thing my friends and I would've played as eight year olds. Political crisis (some nonsense because we're eight and gold is the most important thing we can think of), evil authoritarian figures we have to outsmart, fancy dresses, unwanted suitors, rags to riches.
This was hilarious! MAKE MORE BARBIE CONTENT PLEASE
(you should especially cover the first era's movies)
