I'm not into LOL surprise, nor am I gonna watch this movie, but I think it would be possible to make the "girl gets sent into the doll world" plot work. First off, rather than making the magic glasses appear out of nowhere, the glasses should be something Ava's been having, like a life-size version of an acessory. Then, to match, Queen Bee could have similar glasses, which is why she specifically becomes Queen Bee. Considering how Ava's gonna move, maybe she could have used the magic glasses as a way to distract herself from the move. Like. she's still confused at first, but she comes to like it because it stops her from worrying about moving. The other characters notice Queen Bee's being weird, but they're so focused on the movie they don't think too deeply about her behavior, until Royal Bee finally calls her out because they're sisters, and there's no way she wouldn't notice. Then Ava could explain what happened and her situation, and while Royal Bee is worried about her real sister, she sympathizes with Ava and gives her encouragement ("Moving isn't bad, change is good, blah blah blah.") After that, they finish the movie, and Royal Bee thanks Ava for her help. Then we can have Ava return to the real world, and her mom's about to give the classic "I know moving is hard" speech, but Ava repeats what Royal Bee told her and hugs her mom, having accepted they're moving. The mom tells her they're gonna do one last thing before they move, and then she reveals the movie tickets. Back into the doll world, the real Queen Bee is about to watch the movie with Royal Bee, and she asks her what happened while she was asleep. Cue the credits. I can't believe I actually rewrote the entire movie plot lol
Maybe you should have been part of the writing team lmao The fact that one person could rewrite the plot and do it better says a lot about the quality of this movie
MUCH better story plot than this cliche garbage of a film advertisement. Way more insight on the concept of "protagonist gets isekai'd into a world of toys" story
7:52 something being a kids movie doesn't exclude it from being criticized especially how it's been shown multiple times that kids do know the difference between a bad movie and a good one. That's why kids movies do screenings with kids, because they know.
YES! I totally agree bad writing gets money thrown at it and funded while stories with actual good writing struggle to get funded at all. Also it's pretty insulting to children. it's like they have no faith in children's ability to understand what's going on unless it is explicitly spelled out for them. They think they have to be told what job each character has, what their name is what their motivations are and what they have for breakfast. Like kids aren't stupid. I remember the Barbie movies being pretty good as a kid and I can for sure say all of them at least had a plot and made sense as far as I remember.
@@WhitneyDahlin I couldn't have said it better myself. The quality of franchises directed towards kids has gone drastically downhill, and the amount of effort put into franchises is next to nothing anymore. It's quite simply disappointing
Honestly, this movie gave me an entirely new appreciation for Ever After High and Monster High films. Cause I thought all doll movies were like that but apparently those two series were just miles ahead of anything else.
Ava is literally everyone in the improve games the theater teacher has us do. I always have to take the lead and basically tell them who they are. I have to tell them that they're a wizard or my son or an elf. Like, once they're set up they can play along fine but before that I'm talking to a wall

Aahah, yeah that is no fun, but with improv setup is incredibly important but it has to be subtle at the same time kinda. Like if the people doing improv have different ideas of what they are doing or are confused it doesn't work very well.
Love the animation, just wish they could use their writers full potential. music videos are like the best thing they have, so a musical/jukebox musical. Also. i didn't know the movie switched around the styles of animation. Maybe for end credits the stop motion would be fun.
I feel like a big part of why this movie is such a flop (& why it took so long for mga to make a movie/show in the 1st place) is that unlike barbie or monster high, omg doesn't really have characters. At least, not ones fleshed out enough to build stories around (tho house of surprises is trying). Like, monster high came out the gate w/ a full world concept & characters w/ at least rudimentary backstories & personalities (hobbies, fears, goals, etc). Barbie's entire deal is being a blank slate that can be fit into any role in any setting. But omgs have a lil 2 sentence blurb to describe their aesthetic/general demeanor, & nothing beyond that. Their personalities are too vague to build stories around, yet simultaneously too specific to give the blank slate treatmemt. & since mga's sales strategy limits every character to only 1 doll, there's nothing to flesh out their personalities in different settings, like beach- or sports-wear would. I think house of surprises took a good 1st step by making it clear the omgs are working adults, & distinguishing their personalities by their careers. But the storytelling is still limited by the "1 doll per character, as many new characters as possible" tactic. Everybody outside the core 4 gets 1 story to tell, & then we don't hear from them again bc 1) their character was built to be hyperspecifc to 1 type of situation, & 2) the next new character in line needs to be promoted.
To this day, the only toy manufacturer that ever made good movies was Mattel. I'm talking golden age barbie movies (early 2000s) and even recently, esp with barbie vlog( as a mental health worker, I love this! It works for any age, and talks about serious topics in an inspiring way. seriously. check it out. Im not getting sponsored but check them out lol), Monster High and Ever After High, and even the more obscure things. Enchantimals gives me some chuckles when I need some positive vibes, and the characters are likeable (which is how it should be. Period. I'm looking at you, Rainbow high). I think the difference is that Mattel actually cares about what they put out. They team up with legitimate animation studios whose passion and love for their work really shows. I'm not saying everything they put out is good, but the great ones are truly bangers.
@@vulpixle9659 LMAO what quality control? Mattel doesn’t even have quality to begin with. Have you seen the defects on the new haunt couture dolls? Wonky eyes, misprints, bald heads, broken pieces, smudges… Wow such a good quality control! And of COURSE barbies are cheaper lmao look at the quality, they have printed fabrics, no articulation, pixelated faces and polypropylene hair. The price being cheap is the bare minimum. Meanwhile, rainbow high and lol omg serve you collector quality, with real pockets, zipers, functional belts and draw strings, embroidery, diversity of fabric, good outfit construction, high quality hair, inset eyes with real eyelashes and sprayed makeup. All of that for less than 30 dollars in the regular lines. Cry about it
As a kid I grew up on the Barbie 2000’s movie juice and the Monster High/Ever After High shows/movies- those films/episodes rose my standards so high to children’s media nowadays.
The LOL Surprise Movie was very underwhelming compared to other movies based on doll lines in my opinion. I'm glad I grew up with Barbie and the original Monster High, because those had much better movies that actually had morals and better storytelling. And compared to Rainbow High's webisodes, I feel like the writers for the LOL surprise movie aren't trying to make it good. At least the House of Surprises series is okay, but no doll webseries can compare to Monster High or Ever After High for me. Mattel actually knew how to release good digital media for their dolls without making it seem like a weird toy commercial.
This movie hurt me mentally, physically, emotionally and spiritually. This is the fuel of nightmares and I’m scared to go on Netflix due to the fear is seeing this
I was very disappointed when I watched the movie. The animation is nice, but the story wasn't great and there were a lot of unnecessary scenes like the stop motion, the kid, and combining all the endings into one. I was glad that the series has better writing. I actually enjoyed the series. I kinda wish that the movie was more focused on maybe how actual movie production works instead of teaching the kid a lesson about being ok to move to a new house.
Funnily enough, I feel the exact opposite about LOL OMG: I find them _stunning_ (I'm a fashion doll fan), while I couldn't care less about the original LOL surprise dolls 😅
Love the dolls but after Monster High and Ever After High, heck even Bratz and Barbie, this is worthless trash. Out of all the current doll media out there, there is nothing good right now and it's honestly a waste of such a huge budget. I'd rather have cheaper 2D animation with actual effort put into making it entertaining. I'm not even saying this as a collector, I genuinely just want better for the kids because as a kid I still wouldn't watch this crap.
I just watched this yesterday and I had few notes 📝 myself on it. First of all, the beginning gave me little to no context to what was happening other than the main character which was a little girl making a movie/playing with her doll and mom told her that she to pack her boxes 📦 to move. I mean what was the reason to why they were moving. Was it because the mother couldn't afford the house? Was the mother getting a new job to another state? I would’ve love more information on that. Second of all, the girl’s L.O.L Surprise playhouse just magically had 3-D glasses 👓 appear right in front of her and she gets isekaied to the L.O.L Surprise universe? Like how the playhouse just suddenly have magic 🪄 It made no sense whatsoever. Third of all, the girl came back and she was excited about moving and then the mom sprang movie tickets 🎟 to the L.O.L Surprise movie 🍿 There was no mention about the movie 🍿 what so ever until the very end. I mean the girl 👧🏾 was making the movie but no mention of the actual movie was mentioned. Honestly, I would've prefer if the movie kinda stuck to the L.O.L Surprise universe instead using the live action beginning and ending or they would just made the mini series and no movie at all. I mean if they gonna use the Toy 🧸 Story/Isekai approach I would expect to have more context to the moving part in the beginning, the reason for the "magic" playhouse, the ending to make sense. These are just my opinion, so take with a grain of salt .
The plot of being turned into a doll or being a person in the doll world could have been SO good, the fact they had it centered around the movie just cuz 'haha! it's the LOL Movie, get it?!' makes it so so bad. The first two stop motion segments were the most entertaining parts. I remember my boyfriend and I were screaming in laughter from the horrid ending of the terribly disjointed ending of the 'movie' I also know and did local theater with one of the voice actresses in this movie and let me tell you, she was a paaain to deal with as a kid and when she moved to LA to make it big as a literal kid, yeah... yeah this is about how I saw it going. The voice acting is SO bad, from everyone. The only redeeming quality is the CG animation
This "movie" was absolutely a boring plotless mess, no doubt. So many other doll lines have made stories w/ engaging plots & characters. But I'm always so confused & annoyed by ppl who criticize fashion doll shows/movies for putting a lot of focus on clothes & makeovers & such. Like obvi we want girl-focused media that goes beyond "go shopping & look pretty", but a series that's explicitly ABOUT fashion is not the place to look for that. It's like watching a fast & furious movie & complaining that the characters talk about cars too much.
this movie was so god awful i actually started writing a better one: "royal bee, Swag, lady diva, and neonlicious are best friends living in surprising city. One day a famous manager comes into the pink palace diner, and hires royal bee to cater on the set of movie magic studios and the FB records music videos. After some time of working, lady diva gets hired to feature on a song with kitty k, a major recording artist, meanwhile swag gets cast in breakfast and BB’s, an upcoming blockbuster film. Bee and neon soon learn that the film and music industry isn't what it's chocked up to be, only for diva and swag to get sucked into Hollywood bull shit. In the end, a major twist happens when the oscar awards get stolen, and 2 agents are on the case, prowling every inch of the property. With the added stress, deadlines, and snobby celebs, how will this mess end? Watch and see who throws hands." its not good, but at least there's plot.
As an L.O.L Surprise fan, this movie wasn't really worth waiting for. (Back in 2021 when the trailer came out I was so anxious to watch it lol.) What I dislike about this movie is that Ava turned into Royal Bee's sister...it's like she took over her whole body lmao. I could already tell this was a promotion for those movie magic dolls and tbh they're quite nice but the storyline could've been better. The previous movie from 2019 (I believe) was so bad but I wish they stepped up the storyline better
I remember when I watched it I just COULDNT get over the names. I was genuinely screaming every single line. YOU MEAN TO TELL ME .. that an actual living person was writing this movie, and decided to name 2 of these characters NEONLICIOUS AND SWAG ???? I SHIT YOU NOT, ONE OF THE MAIN CHARACTERS IS NAMED "SWAG" I feel like the naming alone shows how little these writers actually know what kids like. there was also ZERO advertising!! like I had no idea this existed until I saw it on netflix? like. 0 TH-cam ads, no promotion material. it just appeared. the stopmotion scenes I'm GENUINELY convinced was directed by CookieswirlC i can't imagine ANY child actually enjoying this. I don't think any of the people working on this movie have kids, let alone give a shit about what they show kids.
Same, it always bothered me too, like... why do the characters have names like "Queen Bee", "24KDJ", "MC Swag", "Candylicious" etc? Why can't they just have normal names? So far, the only LOL characters that have normal names are the tweens.
It really sucks that the most diverse doll line we had in the last few years would get a movie that's such a soulless shitty messy cashgrab, because "oh well the movie is for kids, we don't need good writing as long as the kids are entertained and we get to promote the dolls". Say what you want about Mattel and their quality, but at least their Monster High and early 2000s Barbie movies were actually GOOD. Of course, they didn't have 2001 A Space Odyssey levels of writing, but at least they tried and you could see they had effort put into them, they weren't movies that existed just to promote dolls. Even now that I'm 22, The Princess And The Pauper is still an icon of my childhood.
For a while, any time I wanted to watch something on Amazon Prime I would get a 'trailer' for the LOL Surprise 'movie.' It's a miracle I didn't throw up on my laptop.
The movie was definitely lackluster, pointless, boring, and as an adult collector specially OMGs and Tweens I was a bit bummed. Especially since it didn't show any of my pass faves or featured at least ONE tween. "The House of Surprises" is better in comparison but it goes down the same path just on a weekly basis. Newer dolls will ALWAYS get an episode before the elder generation, so it's really "HEY LOOK AT THIS NEW DOLL, ARE YA LOOKING!? AREN'T HER EARRINGS FIERCCCCCCEEEE!? Yeah they are but like....chill. The best show regarding LOL is there episodic series on there TH-cam channel that shows all the dolls living together in a more "natural" setting, it even convinced me to get Freshest(name of doll) I recommend fans check it out!
Honestly I liked how good looking the movie is and how I didn’t have to watch it, thanks for letting me know about it existence. Also your makeup looks sharp, so pretty!!
I watched this movie on Netflix because I'm in Canada regional block and all that and boy I cannot explain so I'm watching this video so I can know where I'm feeling
It makes me so mad that trash like this gets made and funded and they throw money at it while actually GOOD stories with GOOD writing struggle to get made at all. How did the writers even get their jobs??? Nepotism??!!Also a lot of the Barbie movies were actually good so there's no excuse for this movie to be so bad.
so lol dolls are adult women in their 20s or 30s that have infant baby siblings as pets? and theyre infantalizing these adult women as babies? i dont understand kids toys
Yeah, "It's an ad" is not an excuse, look at Pokemon, Digimon, Zoids, Yu Gi Oh and many other shows designed to sell toys that actually put some effort in their stories, hell, even Barbie Life in the Dreamhouse does it.
I love lol especially the OMG dolls...but I can't stand this movie. Yes I realize that it's for kids and it's to promote thier Dolls but it's absolutely terrible. It's basically a glorified ad and I just hate it
Even my 5 year old neice who's a huge lol surprise fan hated this movie, it was so boring. Say what you want about Bratz Movies and Animation, at least it's funny and entertaining. Plus Rainbow High is good idk why they made a bad movie of lol.
It's mind boggling to me whenever people defend bad movies or shows or whatever that are aimed at children by just saying "oh, well it's for kids." As if kids don't deserve good media. Just because they don't have great critical thinking skills (and, in some cases from personal experience, can't distinguish criticism from "bullying") doesn't mean that they should be given a poorly written commercial as a form of entertainment. But, alas.
The biggest feat in this movie was that she could make lol stop motion, those dolls joints are always bloody glued together XD or so loose they come off
New lol surprise movie coming 22nd October. This one seems to have a better story from the trailer but it seems to have weird stop motion scenes along with the animated movie.
Your my favorite TH-camr right now. You have a lot of the same options I do, I respect your opinions and thoughts, your entertaining, I like your humor, you have a great perspective, and you have an amazing sense of style.
I don’t know if you know this but the girl at the Cifi ending she’s actually non binary she’s gamma babe and I would definitely say that the winter disco movie the one on Amazon prime is better way better than the Netflix movie
@@hkgc2135 because she can be non binary but prefer “she” “they” because she is still referred as a big sister but also in her book say they need a makeover not she needs a makeover
This is from experience. I was watching this with my little sister on netflix last year and man, Story wise, It was one of the worst “films” i’ve seen and I was thinking on writing a whole page essay on why this movie sucks. For some reason, it made my sister want to buy more too and rewatch the film. So yeah, like you said, it worked. I won’t ruin it for her, and wait til she realizes how bad it is growing up (just like I did with the Teletubbies). for now let her live her childhood until it lasts. Either way, the movie still sucks.
The entire time i was watching the movie i was just thinking to myself are we just going to ignore the fact that queen bee is not even her actual sister and instead is just a stranger?
Love your makeup! Also, when you started I was expecting this movie to be more like ‘girl is moving. Girl doesn’t want to move. Girl is sucked into dolls world as escapism from moving. Dolls teach her change is ok etc and she moves’. But no, who needs conflict?
Honestly this whole "wrapping up the movie" plot could have worked if the kid was kept outside, gradually having to take apart the house in preparation for the move, and as pieces of the world are taken away, they have to find a way to end this movie that's at the end of filming, but the production team is divided on the ending without enough time for test screenings, and if they fail, they'll have to delay the movie for a long time and kill the hype, so there's actual stakes at play.
The worst thing about this movie was that I launched a movie about a girl being transported into another world to finish a movie which was only 17m long and 100% better than LOL SURPRISE the movie. That movie was made by only one person and it is better than this garbege that is on Netflix! The worst part is that the trailer was actually good but the movie was not and that the lol company could not come up with something more original than coping my work and make G it worse! PS: My original better work is called TRY ME:THE MOVIE (it is on my channel)
@@thereal_sunset Wait, what! (Very offenced) (my Movie was made by only one person, me. And at least my Movie is not a giant add for expensive products. I didn't get any money from it)
One thing that angers me with this movie (well, with MGA in general) is how none of the guy characters are in it, even RH’s guy characters seem to be…just, there. Rocker Boi (pretty much my favorite male doll ever) seems to be hated by MGA because he’s in like nothing lol. 🥲🥲🥲
I watched the movie and the animation was good but yeah it was an hour long ad. Like how do you put more energy into the stories of Rainbow High but not an LOL surprise movie? I thought that brand was currently their main bread and butter.
your pain riddle expression says it all xD kids can really watch and love just as many "bad" movies, shows and shit as any other adult. Just look at the Fast and Furious fandom, it's like fast food, doesn't have any depth but you love it and you enjoy it so it's fine. BUT, the fact that we or they, can accept it doesn't mean they should give them that kind of shitty work. It says a lot about their standards and values
it's kinda sad I thought of a premise that they could have done. They could have just done a friend group of girls going through a fight they go home to play with their dolls to feel better. They find the 3d glasses in each of their rooms and get turned into little baby dolls and have the big sister dolls help them with their problems and repair their friendships. (it took me a few seconds to come up with this idea. they need a better production team.)
I actually liked this movie. It's just a movie to sell dolls and that's what it does. Worked on me I'm still working on collecting the movie dolls. Idk what it is about this movie that made like it so much maybe it's because I'm still a kid idk.
I feel like when compared to Rainbow High, LOL doesn't even compare, both in animation and doll line. The movie was pretty meh, and when you compare them to the webisodes, they look even WORSE and the dolls are kinda weird looking. I don't like how short their arms are in proportion to the rest of their bodies. But it's pretty clear both these doll lines have different target demos in mind. LOL is meant for really young kids, while Rainbow High is catered more towards older kids, and adult collectors who grew up with Bratz and Monster High.
Ive never been a fan os LOL before OMGs came out, now its my favourite doll series. But jesh wth is that media please- Its dummbed down for kids so much that it makes me feel guilty about liking the dolls
The winter disco movie should be better than this because it has a story and character building. This was mainly a reject ad and doesn't even show the beauty of the dolls! They could have done more on the relationships of characters and at least should have made a better script.
I've watched shows designed to be toy ads, speaking as a Transformers and MLP fan. I don't mind those, because they veil their subliminal adverstisements with a decent, if not at least consistent, narrative. They give their toy characters personality, they have dilemmas, stakes, things for viewers to attach themselves to. The LOL Surprise Movie seems to have none of that. It's a feature length toy commercial at its logical extreme.
I watched it, it was disappointing and I agree that it was a big add, but also, I enjoyed see the dolls moving by themselves, it brings back to my memory all those Bratz and Barbie movies, and now, the winter fashion show movie, was, surprisingly better in so many aspects
Hey since you did a video on the rainbow high dolls. Could you do a video about the shadow high dolls that came out. I want to know if the same amount of time went into making those dolls as with the rainbow high dolls
So I was scrolling through Netflix and I found a show that kind of dropped off as far as I know, do you think you could do a what happened to invizamals? Or maybe invader Zim
the lol omg dolls are currently my favourite ones on the market, they're just so pretty. very glad i've never watched any shows or movies for them though, yikes
I actually wacthed that other movie they made on amazon prime(but it was streamed on yt last year) and I'll politely say it was quite.. better than this monstrosity of a pointless movie? It actually kinda had more of a plot than this one. (It was also released in 2019 so idk.)
Yes, the first time they did it was better because there were some small struggles. The only useless parts were the live action. It could be fixed if the dolls would actually talk and if there wouldn't be people. (am I the only one who thinks that their youtube stop motion/music/house of Surprises videos are better than the actual movies!)
I'm not into LOL surprise, nor am I gonna watch this movie, but I think it would be possible to make the "girl gets sent into the doll world" plot work. First off, rather than making the magic glasses appear out of nowhere, the glasses should be something Ava's been having, like a life-size version of an acessory. Then, to match, Queen Bee could have similar glasses, which is why she specifically becomes Queen Bee.

Back into the doll world, the real Queen Bee is about to watch the movie with Royal Bee, and she asks her what happened while she was asleep. Cue the credits.
I can't believe I actually rewrote the entire movie plot lol
Maybe you should have been part of the writing team lmao
The fact that one person could rewrite the plot and do it better says a lot about the quality of this movie
Now this actually has merit and what LOL Surprise fans deserve for a movie.
This person made a plot i would actually want to watch, and i have the standars of a 10 y.o.
MUCH better story plot than this cliche garbage of a film advertisement. Way more insight on the concept of "protagonist gets isekai'd into a world of toys" story
I wished they even teased that she had a sister that looked a lot like royal bee.
I think what’s really frustrating about this is the animation is beautiful and there’s just so much potential.
IKR? I love the animation but the story left me wanting more, this is about LOL House of Surprises, but I think it's relevant enough.

If only mattel cared about the actual quality of their dolls instead lol
This comment either proves you are DEFINITELY not in touch with the doll community or you’re a mattel stan… none of wich is a great option
*laughs in Hasbro*
Edit: *also laughs in Lego*
Edit 2: What the hell is this reply section.
@@bernardocomassetto at least Mattel actually does quality control plus Barbies are way cheaper then LOL OMGs LOL tots and rainbow high
@@vulpixle9659 LMAO what quality control? Mattel doesn’t even have quality to begin with. Have you seen the defects on the new haunt couture dolls? Wonky eyes, misprints, bald heads, broken pieces, smudges… Wow such a good quality control! And of COURSE barbies are cheaper lmao look at the quality, they have printed fabrics, no articulation, pixelated faces and polypropylene hair. The price being cheap is the bare minimum. Meanwhile, rainbow high and lol omg serve you collector quality, with real pockets, zipers, functional belts and draw strings, embroidery, diversity of fabric, good outfit construction, high quality hair, inset eyes with real eyelashes and sprayed makeup. All of that for less than 30 dollars in the regular lines. Cry about it
As a kid I grew up on the Barbie 2000’s movie juice and the Monster High/Ever After High shows/movies- those films/episodes rose my standards so high to children’s media nowadays.
The LOL Surprise Movie was very underwhelming compared to other movies based on doll lines in my opinion. I'm glad I grew up with Barbie and the original Monster High, because those had much better movies that actually had morals and better storytelling. And compared to Rainbow High's webisodes, I feel like the writers for the LOL surprise movie aren't trying to make it good. At least the House of Surprises series is okay, but no doll webseries can compare to Monster High or Ever After High for me. Mattel actually knew how to release good digital media for their dolls without making it seem like a weird toy commercial.
This movie hurt me mentally, physically, emotionally and spiritually. This is the fuel of nightmares and I’m scared to go on Netflix due to the fear is seeing this
Cure your nightmares with Klaus
I was very disappointed when I watched the movie. The animation is nice, but the story wasn't great and there were a lot of unnecessary scenes like the stop motion, the kid, and combining all the endings into one. I was glad that the series has better writing. I actually enjoyed the series. I kinda wish that the movie was more focused on maybe how actual movie production works instead of teaching the kid a lesson about being ok to move to a new house.
Funnily enough, I feel the exact opposite about LOL OMG: I find them _stunning_ (I'm a fashion doll fan), while I couldn't care less about the original LOL surprise dolls 😅
i luv all the lol/omg dolls but i agree with u 100% i feel like the movie was pretty good!
@@lawyer_julio I also loved the movie!
Love the dolls but after Monster High and Ever After High, heck even Bratz and Barbie, this is worthless trash. Out of all the current doll media out there, there is nothing good right now and it's honestly a waste of such a huge budget. I'd rather have cheaper 2D animation with actual effort put into making it entertaining. I'm not even saying this as a collector, I genuinely just want better for the kids because as a kid I still wouldn't watch this crap.
I just watched this yesterday and I had few notes 📝 myself on it. First of all, the beginning gave me little to no context to what was happening other than the main character which was a little girl making a movie/playing with her doll and mom told her that she to pack her boxes 📦 to move. I mean what was the reason to why they were moving. Was it because the mother couldn't afford the house? Was the mother getting a new job to another state? I would’ve love more information on that. Second of all, the girl’s L.O.L Surprise playhouse just magically had 3-D glasses 👓 appear right in front of her and she gets isekaied to the L.O.L Surprise universe? Like how the playhouse just suddenly have magic 🪄 It made no sense whatsoever. Third of all, the girl came back and she was excited about moving and then the mom sprang movie tickets 🎟 to the L.O.L Surprise movie 🍿 There was no mention about the movie 🍿 what so ever until the very end. I mean the girl 👧🏾 was making the movie but no mention of the actual movie was mentioned. Honestly, I would've prefer if the movie kinda stuck to the L.O.L Surprise universe instead using the live action beginning and ending or they would just made the mini series and no movie at all. I mean if they gonna use the Toy 🧸 Story/Isekai approach I would expect to have more context to the moving part in the beginning, the reason for the "magic" playhouse, the ending to make sense. These are just my opinion, so take with a grain of salt .
This movie made the Playmobil movie look like a masterpiece
You know how COOL it would be to see them do a stopmotion movie?? I'd love to see that. and also you know...make a plot. because there's no plot.
They did…..in 2019 (PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE don’t watch it you’ll lose all of your brain cells
@@thereal_sunset wow, was it really THAT bad?😳 I can't tell you my opinion because I didn't watch it since I don't have amazon prime
The plot of being turned into a doll or being a person in the doll world could have been SO good, the fact they had it centered around the movie just cuz 'haha! it's the LOL Movie, get it?!' makes it so so bad. The first two stop motion segments were the most entertaining parts. I remember my boyfriend and I were screaming in laughter from the horrid ending of the terribly disjointed ending of the 'movie'
I also know and did local theater with one of the voice actresses in this movie and let me tell you, she was a paaain to deal with as a kid and when she moved to LA to make it big as a literal kid, yeah... yeah this is about how I saw it going. The voice acting is SO bad, from everyone. The only redeeming quality is the CG animation
This "movie" was absolutely a boring plotless mess, no doubt. So many other doll lines have made stories w/ engaging plots & characters. But I'm always so confused & annoyed by ppl who criticize fashion doll shows/movies for putting a lot of focus on clothes & makeovers & such. Like obvi we want girl-focused media that goes beyond "go shopping & look pretty", but a series that's explicitly ABOUT fashion is not the place to look for that. It's like watching a fast & furious movie & complaining that the characters talk about cars too much.
this movie was so god awful i actually started writing a better one:
"royal bee, Swag, lady diva, and neonlicious are best friends living in surprising city. One day a famous manager comes into the pink palace diner, and hires royal bee to cater on the set of movie magic studios and the FB records music videos. After some time of working, lady diva gets hired to feature on a song with kitty k, a major recording artist, meanwhile swag gets cast in breakfast and BB’s, an upcoming blockbuster film. Bee and neon soon learn that the film and music industry isn't what it's chocked up to be, only for diva and swag to get sucked into Hollywood bull shit. In the end, a major twist happens when the oscar awards get stolen, and 2 agents are on the case, prowling every inch of the property. With the added stress, deadlines, and snobby celebs, how will this mess end? Watch and see who throws hands."
its not good, but at least there's plot.
As an L.O.L Surprise fan, this movie wasn't really worth waiting for. (Back in 2021 when the trailer came out I was so anxious to watch it lol.) What I dislike about this movie is that Ava turned into Royal Bee's sister...it's like she took over her whole body lmao. I could already tell this was a promotion for those movie magic dolls and tbh they're quite nice but the storyline could've been better. The previous movie from 2019 (I believe) was so bad but I wish they stepped up the storyline better
Did anyone else realize halfway through that this is literally just Cats with LOL suprise dolls?
I remember when I watched it I just COULDNT get over the names. I was genuinely screaming every single line.
YOU MEAN TO TELL ME ..
that an actual living person was writing this movie,
and decided to name 2 of these characters
NEONLICIOUS AND SWAG ????
I SHIT YOU NOT, ONE OF THE MAIN CHARACTERS IS NAMED "SWAG"
I feel like the naming alone shows how little these writers actually know what kids like.
there was also ZERO advertising!! like I had no idea this existed until I saw it on netflix? like. 0 TH-cam ads, no promotion material. it just appeared.
the stopmotion scenes I'm GENUINELY convinced was directed by CookieswirlC
i can't imagine ANY child actually enjoying this. I don't think any of the people working on this movie have kids, let alone give a shit about what they show kids.
Same, it always bothered me too, like... why do the characters have names like "Queen Bee", "24KDJ", "MC Swag", "Candylicious" etc? Why can't they just have normal names? So far, the only LOL characters that have normal names are the tweens.
Hey did you know there is a webtoon based on Wonderland called "Finding Wonderland" it was created from the Webtoon Greenlight project
I started watching this movie, and I could not get through it haha. Thank you for doing this so that we don't have to! haha
It really sucks that the most diverse doll line we had in the last few years would get a movie that's such a soulless shitty messy cashgrab, because "oh well the movie is for kids, we don't need good writing as long as the kids are entertained and we get to promote the dolls". Say what you want about Mattel and their quality, but at least their Monster High and early 2000s Barbie movies were actually GOOD. Of course, they didn't have 2001 A Space Odyssey levels of writing, but at least they tried and you could see they had effort put into them, they weren't movies that existed just to promote dolls. Even now that I'm 22, The Princess And The Pauper is still an icon of my childhood.
Finally someone else that feels as passionate about this as me
For a while, any time I wanted to watch something on Amazon Prime I would get a 'trailer' for the LOL Surprise 'movie.' It's a miracle I didn't throw up on my laptop.
The movie was definitely lackluster, pointless, boring, and as an adult collector specially OMGs and Tweens I was a bit bummed. Especially since it didn't show any of my pass faves or featured at least ONE tween. "The House of Surprises" is better in comparison but it goes down the same path just on a weekly basis. Newer dolls will ALWAYS get an episode before the elder generation, so it's really "HEY LOOK AT THIS NEW DOLL, ARE YA LOOKING!? AREN'T HER EARRINGS FIERCCCCCCEEEE!?
Yeah they are but like....chill.
The best show regarding LOL is there episodic series on there TH-cam channel that shows all the dolls living together in a more "natural" setting, it even convinced me to get Freshest(name of doll) I recommend fans check it out!
Honestly I liked how good looking the movie is and how I didn’t have to watch it, thanks for letting me know about it existence. Also your makeup looks sharp, so pretty!!
I watched this movie on Netflix because I'm in Canada regional block and all that and boy I cannot explain so I'm watching this video so I can know where I'm feeling
It makes me so mad that trash like this gets made and funded and they throw money at it while actually GOOD stories with GOOD writing struggle to get made at all. How did the writers even get their jobs??? Nepotism??!!Also a lot of the Barbie movies were actually good so there's no excuse for this movie to be so bad.
so lol dolls are adult women in their 20s or 30s that have infant baby siblings as pets? and theyre infantalizing these adult women as babies? i dont understand kids toys
I remember hearing this announced and as an OMG fan I was kinda hoping it’d be like Barbie,bratz or monster high 😭 sad to hear it sucks so bad
Yeah, "It's an ad" is not an excuse, look at Pokemon, Digimon, Zoids, Yu Gi Oh and many other shows designed to sell toys that actually put some effort in their stories, hell, even Barbie Life in the Dreamhouse does it.
This movie sounds absolutely dreadful and some weird fanfiction I would've written when I was 12.
3:15 This is the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air intro
I love lol especially the OMG dolls...but I can't stand this movie. Yes I realize that it's for kids and it's to promote thier Dolls but it's absolutely terrible. It's basically a glorified ad and I just hate it
Being early is a new experience, anyone agree?
Even my 5 year old neice who's a huge lol surprise fan hated this movie, it was so boring.
Say what you want about Bratz Movies and Animation, at least it's funny and entertaining. Plus Rainbow High is good idk why they made a bad movie of lol.
The Bratz movies are like a fever dream while on drugs. But yes Rainbow High is amazing, love it
@@natsumie.williams3931 well at least they were entertaining
@@Deeviiouss ohh yes they made my brain experience seeing an eldritch god without actually seeing one
@@natsumie.williams3931 LMAOO
It's mind boggling to me whenever people defend bad movies or shows or whatever that are aimed at children by just saying "oh, well it's for kids." As if kids don't deserve good media. Just because they don't have great critical thinking skills (and, in some cases from personal experience, can't distinguish criticism from "bullying") doesn't mean that they should be given a poorly written commercial as a form of entertainment. But, alas.
This is one of the best TH-cam channels ever! Negative Legend is an amazing TH-camr and I love their videos.
The biggest feat in this movie was that she could make lol stop motion, those dolls joints are always bloody glued together XD or so loose they come off
I definitely have to agree- the movie was a mess, but so far I do enjoy the TH-cam series, it's pretty simple but fun
New lol surprise movie coming 22nd October. This one seems to have a better story from the trailer but it seems to have weird stop motion scenes along with the animated movie.
I didn’t mind the stop motion however I would’ve preferred if this was a series instead of a movie
Your my favorite TH-camr right now. You have a lot of the same options I do, I respect your opinions and thoughts, your entertaining, I like your humor, you have a great perspective, and you have an amazing sense of style.
To be honest the House of Surprises TH-cam series is WAAAYY better than the movie. There's more fun stories and context verse the Movie.
This movies just a bit sad if I'm honest, but it would be cool if you covered the series in a video to see if there is any improvement.
There is, if this movie's 100% ad, the series is 50% ad. Just don't expect much depth story-wise, they squandered the premise early on.
I don’t know if you know this but the girl at the Cifi ending she’s actually non binary she’s gamma babe and I would definitely say that the winter disco movie the one on Amazon prime is better way better than the Netflix movie
Why "she" tho?
@@hkgc2135 because she can be non binary but prefer “she” “they” because she is still referred as a big sister but also in her book say they need a makeover not she needs a makeover
@@lennogamesyt8876 Ahh so they
uses she/they pronounce thx :)
This is from experience. I was watching this with my little sister on netflix last year and man, Story wise, It was one of the worst “films” i’ve seen and I was thinking on writing a whole page essay on why this movie sucks. For some reason, it made my sister want to buy more too and rewatch the film. So yeah, like you said, it worked. I won’t ruin it for her, and wait til she realizes how bad it is growing up (just like I did with the Teletubbies). for now let her live her childhood until it lasts. Either way, the movie still sucks.
The entire time i was watching the movie i was just thinking to myself are we just going to ignore the fact that queen bee is not even her actual sister and instead is just a stranger?
The dolls clothes are so beautiful but the baby faces freak me out
Love your makeup! Also, when you started I was expecting this movie to be more like ‘girl is moving. Girl doesn’t want to move. Girl is sucked into dolls world as escapism from moving. Dolls teach her change is ok etc and she moves’. But no, who needs conflict?
EARLY!! I wish they actually fleshed out the characters well instead of making it so odd with the plot and the stop motion bits
Hi, i collect lol omg dolls and i wanted to watch the movie, but i never got around to do it. Now, I'm glad i didn't ! THANK YOU !
Honestly this whole "wrapping up the movie" plot could have worked if the kid was kept outside, gradually having to take apart the house in preparation for the move, and as pieces of the world are taken away, they have to find a way to end this movie that's at the end of filming, but the production team is divided on the ending without enough time for test screenings, and if they fail, they'll have to delay the movie for a long time and kill the hype, so there's actual stakes at play.
I’m so mad that I didn’t know how cute the tiny dolls were till watching this video, and now I want them, and that’s what Netflix wants.
Felt like I was watching the Emoji Movie, but worse.
If you want good mga movies, you should watch some of the bratz movies, fashion pixiez was one of my favs
The worst thing about this movie was that I launched a movie about a girl being transported into another world to finish a movie which was only 17m long and 100% better than LOL SURPRISE the movie. That movie was made by only one person and it is better than this garbege that is on Netflix! The worst part is that the trailer was actually good but the movie was not and that the lol company could not come up with something more original than coping my work and make G it worse!
PS: My original better work is called TRY ME:THE MOVIE (it is on my channel)
Lol surprise the movie was better (no offence)
@@thereal_sunset Wait, what! (Very offenced) (my Movie was made by only one person, me. And at least my Movie is not a giant add for expensive products. I didn't get any money from it)
You said that they copied your work. They probably don’t even know about you
@@thereal_sunset I posted a clip of my Movie before their trailer. What reason do you have for the story to be so simular? (any theory?)
8:11 I'm sorry but.. WHATS WITH ALL THE HASHTAGS MY GOSH I'm concerned if this guy is gonna sue someone with THAT MANY HASHTAGS
Wait, so her mom got her tickets to the LOL Surprise movie.
The LOL Surprise movie that got released exclusively to Netflix. A streaming service.
One thing that angers me with this movie (well, with MGA in general) is how none of the guy characters are in it, even RH’s guy characters seem to be…just, there. Rocker Boi (pretty much my favorite male doll ever) seems to be hated by MGA because he’s in like nothing lol. 🥲🥲🥲
Finally I immediately clicked when I got the notification
Did... did they really reference/steal from Fresh Prince of Bel Air? "This is the story all about how..."
Yes. Yes they did.
I think-
I watched the movie and the animation was good but yeah it was an hour long ad. Like how do you put more energy into the stories of Rainbow High but not an LOL surprise movie? I thought that brand was currently their main bread and butter.
"What if we choose all the endings"
LOL what a Surprise
You have to review the TH-cam web series called “House Of Surprises!”.
your pain riddle expression says it all xD
kids can really watch and love just as many "bad" movies, shows and shit as any other adult. Just look at the Fast and Furious fandom, it's like fast food, doesn't have any depth but you love it and you enjoy it so it's fine. BUT, the fact that we or they, can accept it doesn't mean they should give them that kind of shitty work. It says a lot about their standards and values
Your outfit at the beginning was so awesooooooooome
Loved this video.
Now i don't have to watch the movie to actually know if it is bad or not like people said
It is, that's all i need to know.
it's kinda sad I thought of a premise that they could have done. They could have just done a friend group of girls going through a fight they go home to play with their dolls to feel better. They find the 3d glasses in each of their rooms and get turned into little baby dolls and have the big sister dolls help them with their problems and repair their friendships. (it took me a few seconds to come up with this idea. they need a better production team.)
I actually liked this movie. It's just a movie to sell dolls and that's what it does. Worked on me I'm still working on collecting the movie dolls. Idk what it is about this movie that made like it so much maybe it's because I'm still a kid idk.
another great video as always
If L.O.L. and rainbow high made life size clothes:📈📈📈
Yes.
I know this isn’t the point but you’re gorgeous! I love your hair. Your makeup is very attractive too! It’s incredibly cute.
I feel like when compared to Rainbow High, LOL doesn't even compare, both in animation and doll line. The movie was pretty meh, and when you compare them to the webisodes, they look even WORSE and the dolls are kinda weird looking. I don't like how short their arms are in proportion to the rest of their bodies. But it's pretty clear both these doll lines have different target demos in mind. LOL is meant for really young kids, while Rainbow High is catered more towards older kids, and adult collectors who grew up with Bratz and Monster High.
Why are they making so many different genre of endings? What’s the movie even about 😭
Ive never been a fan os LOL before OMGs came out, now its my favourite doll series. But jesh wth is that media please- Its dummbed down for kids so much that it makes me feel guilty about liking the dolls
I felt the same way about the Jem and the Holograms 2015 movie.
3:37 why are they in fnaf???? genuinely it looks like fnaf
I mean..it was the “scary” ending..
The winter disco movie should be better than this because it has a story and character building. This was mainly a reject ad and doesn't even show the beauty of the dolls! They could have done more on the relationships of characters and at least should have made a better script.
I've watched shows designed to be toy ads, speaking as a Transformers and MLP fan. I don't mind those, because they veil their subliminal adverstisements with a decent, if not at least consistent, narrative. They give their toy characters personality, they have dilemmas, stakes, things for viewers to attach themselves to.
The LOL Surprise Movie seems to have none of that. It's a feature length toy commercial at its logical extreme.
I think it’s so funny cause I used to love do stop motion as a child. I should restart, I miss it lol
I watched it, it was disappointing and I agree that it was a big add, but also, I enjoyed see the dolls moving by themselves, it brings back to my memory all those Bratz and Barbie movies, and now, the winter fashion show movie, was, surprisingly better in so many aspects
I think it's bullshit that dolls like this get to exist and monster high had to be rebranded because it was too "mature" for the young audience
I watched the movie with my sisters daughter and both of us where lost the whole time!!
Ngl when I watched the movie the only thing I had in mind was...if there Queen bee is Ava, where the heck is the real Queen bee? 😳
Exactly. Did real queen bee die? Or did they switch bodies?
Oh Damn Neg, I dropped off for a while and came back to this. Goddamn the hair. I love it. You look amazing with it!
Hey since you did a video on the rainbow high dolls. Could you do a video about the shadow high dolls that came out. I want to know if the same amount of time went into making those dolls as with the rainbow high dolls
So I was scrolling through Netflix and I found a show that kind of dropped off as far as I know, do you think you could do a what happened to invizamals? Or maybe invader Zim
Bread 👍
... They couldn't even meta correctly? The hell?
Lol I stopped that movie after like ten minutes. It was very very bad.
The Barbie movies are better than this thing , and I've seen a few reviews on Bobsheaux .
TIL there was an LOL Surprise movie, and I'm not surprised in the slightest.
the lol omg dolls are currently my favourite ones on the market, they're just so pretty. very glad i've never watched any shows or movies for them though, yikes
Seems to be a pattern of everyone always being hypercritical towards MGA and somehow blinded by nostalgia or favoritism when it comes to Mattel
Because there junk is overpriced and defected
I actually wacthed that other movie they made on amazon prime(but it was streamed on yt last year) and I'll politely say it was quite.. better than this monstrosity of a pointless movie? It actually kinda had more of a plot than this one. (It was also released in 2019 so idk.)
Yes, the first time they did it was better because there were some small struggles. The only useless parts were the live action. It could be fixed if the dolls would actually talk and if there wouldn't be people.
(am I the only one who thinks that their youtube stop motion/music/house of Surprises videos are better than the actual movies!)
The winter disco movie is better then this movie Winter Disco is still an ad but it has a ✨plot✨
