![Fc ครับ ขอแนะนำให้รู้จักกับ "น้องเปียโน" l [Nickynachat]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/HQU6Q_IYTLo/mqdefault.jpg)
I like that mlp had the whole range from tomboy to high femme.
Yes! Mlp is the best
Me too!
Yea. Even my brother watched it
yasss im loving the mlp resurgence this year
Yes! Mlp is so amazing!
"Elena of Avalor" is about Princess Elena, who recently restored her kingdom from the reign of a villain and now has to prove herself worthy to become queen.
Oh whoa! That's sounds so cool!! Thanks!! 💝👍🏽
@@TheVirtualCelebrity Elena of Avalor is a Spin-off series of Sofia the first. The two shows are interlinked. Here is the order that it should be watched in:
Sofia the First: Once Upon a Princess.
Sofia the first season 1 episode 1-24 or 25 ( there is a two part episode called the Floating palace which is crucial to get the full version of the event) Season 2 fully season 3 all the way upto Dads and Daughters' day
this is where you Elena of avalor becomes important. so watch elena of avalor season 1 episode 1-10 then watch the special episode called the Secret of Elena of Avalor. then go back to sofia and finish season 3 and all of season 4 ending with the episode called Forever Royal.
then you can return to elena of avalor and watch the rest of season 1 and all of season 2&3 ending with Coronation day. a 5 episode finale and there is a surprise at the end.
@@eddog6666 yes! I love Elena of Avalor!
Ahhhhhh! The memories!
This show wasn’t given enough love or attention pls check it out😔😔
They also need to bring back Barbie. I’m talking like the early 2000s movies with the classic fairytale stories, beautiful dress transformations, and music🎶 . Now those were peak girly girl 💖🎀💄🌷🩰
I mean the current Barbie shows/movies are leaning back into the mythical genre.
Just don’t watch the sibling movies, for some reason they tend to be aimed towards pre-k….i mean skippers a teen? Why should she be aimed at toddlers????
@@laugh-a-gramstudios4601 In regards to Barbie movies, this is mainly due to the movies and shows from 2017 onward being set in the same continuity as Barbie Dreamhouse Adventures, a show that skews pretty young. It's kind of a thing with projects that give great prominence to Barbie's younger sisters where the target audience is younger. I mean, in Dreamhouse Adventures itself, they appear in 48 of the show's 52 episodes. It says something when even most of the high school episodes usually have some scenes or subplots with them. Adding to this is how Barbie Dreamhouse Adventures showrunner Ann Austen worked on most of the movies that came out after that show ended, usually being a producer (the only Barbie movie writer to get that kind of credit).
fr i mean since 2016 the literal barbie dolls aren't "barbiecore" or hyperfeminine anymore😔
@@abbythings I haven't watched much Barbie material from the 2000s and early 2010s, but I'd say the change in direction for Barbie is mainly due to current Mattel executives trying to follow on the DNA of Barbie Dreamhouse Adventures, a generally younger skewing and less hyper feminine show, which came out in 2018, though proceeded by the pilot movie Barbie: Dolphin Magic. After that show ended in 2020, all the Barbie movies and shows take place in the continuity, even the more magical projects like Barbie: Mermaid Power and Barbie: A Touch Of Magic, and do try to follow what that show did.
@@BlythePennyBicycle21 that's good, most of the actual dolls tho from what i've noticed still are not super fashionable or hyperfeminine anymore, and skewed towards kids in pre-k which makes me sad for tweens. i could go on about this lol
8:22 There's Turning Red. (until Tyler joined) Mei's entire friend group are girls, she gets crushes on boys, and the entire plot centers around gaining money to go to a boy band concert
I really hate the back lash turning red got, and I do think it comes down to them (the people criticising) not expecting a girls coming of age story. Think they missed some context clues in the protac, her age, the setting etc lol
@@poxidog Agreed
I've always been a tomboy but I absolutely loved girly girl shows as a kid. I was obsessed with Totally Spies and would pretend to be a spy in my backyard. I also loved stuff like Winx, W.I.T.C.H, Bratz, and Monster High. I miss watching shows like that but as I got older I got more embarassed if someone saw me watching them, I really need to watch them again
@sabrinasmith4793 Exactly the same. Huge tomboy, loved a lot of these shows growing up. Monster High was the best, too
@@KaiTheTyrant It really was! I was way more into action figures than dolls (everyone aside from my parents always gave me Barbies and while I appreciated it, I always gave them to my sister since I didn't like them), but I remember having a few of the earlier MH dolls and I loved them! I had a Draculaura and I think a Frankie, I can't remember which set they were from. I mainly loved the show though and I remember watching it when it premiered, my favorites were Draculaura and Lagoona
Oh for sure! I only had one MH doll (they were fairly expensive in my area) but I loved her. My favourite character was also Lagoona. Despite her terrible accent, it was kind of nice having a fellow Australian (Mosstralian, technically) character on a show I liked.
The MH ghoulfriends books were pretty cool too. I still have the first three.
As a guy, i always watched Totally Spies and Winx Cluh too. 15 years later and I am still watching these shows, because they just can't replacement modern day shows!
@@Startastic357That's so true! I just started watching Totally Spies yesterday after not seeing it in years since the episodes are on TH-cam, a huge wave of nostalgia hit me! They really don't make shows like they used to anymore, especially this kind. It doesn't help that so many shows, especially animated, are getting cancelled before they can even do anything either
Charlotte’s ending with dancing with the little kid was never supposed to be a damn predator joke. She was simply just excited to dance with the prince and she settled with dancing with the kid.
@redballoon9007 Plus, by waiting a little longer, she wasn’t talking about the kid
The 90s and early 2000s really took off the best girly shows for girls.
Then:👸
Now:🦸♀️
i like girly shows but not only for girls is a stereotype like boys are not allowed to like hello kitty blashphemy
If any of you are on the hunt for a girly girl show that never runs out of steam, may I suggest Pretty Cure to ya'll. It's a magical girl show that started in 2004 made by the same studio who made Sailor Moon and unlike most of their contemporaries at the time, the heroines beat the crap out of their enemies with thier bare fists. It gets renewed every year with a new season and a new cast of characters since this show still makes a stonck load of money in Japan. The best seasons are considered to be "HeartChatch" and "Go Princes" but every season has its merits and its fans so you can start watching the show from whichever season you like (exept for Max Heart and Yes Go Go those a re sequel seasons).
A few things to note. Same studio that made Sailor Moon Crystal, not the OG one. And it's essentially the magical girl version of Power Rangers (new cast of characters nearly each season). And single handedly leads the charge of girly shows over in Japan.
I’m 17 and am having the time of my life watching Tangled the series. I watched the first season when it aired but never saw the rest of it until now. We need more shows like that.
At the start maybe, but I hated the 3rd season with a passion…
@@nekohybrid7610 I kinda agree, it had its moments but it was also a mess. Still a great show though.
@@janetsnakehole-macklin6426 would have been a LOT better without that stupid bitch Cunt-Andra.
Thats crazy, literally me at 17 watching the series for the first time rn lol. Enjoying it so far (:
I already watched the whole thing, it was fun.
I want to bring up that the Disney Princesses have a tendency to be criticized and bullied for being "passive damsels in distress who just wait to be rescued". When I was growing up in the 2000s, I grew up with badass boy stuff like Hot Wheels, Transformers, superheroes, ect. and I grew up staying away from girly stuff (eventhough I watch My Life as a Teenage Robot in secret) and I also grew up with this infamous belief that "all princess characters are dumb girly damsels in distress" including the Disney Princesses (who were marketed as shallow damsels and romantics in the 2000s). But, in reality, the only Disney Princesses who were "damsels in distress" were not all of the Disney Princesses. It was really the first 3 classic Disney Princesses, Snow White, Cinderella, and Princess Aurora/Sleeping Beauty because they were passive in their own stories with little to do in the plot other than wait to be rescued. But, it wasn't until the Disney Renesance (1989-1999) came in when the Disney Princesses were transformed from damsels in distress into strong heroines with active roles in their stories.
Ariel saves Flounder from a shark, inadverty kills Ursula's eels in the climax, and saves Prince Eric more than once.
Belle cleverly rejects Gaston, saves her father and the beast more than once, and ultimately breaks the spell in the end.
Jasmine.....ummm....she distracts Jafar in the climax, uses Raja to scare away the jerky princes she was forced to marry, and stands her ground fighting for her independence? (Sorry, Jasmine is a smart and fun solid character. But, she didn't do alot in Aladdin. But, she was able to kick more butt in the tv series)
Pocahantas stops a war and saves John Smith
Mulan goes to war and ultimately saves China.
Tiana defeats Dr Facilier.
Rapunzel beats up goons with a frying pan and her hair and saves Flynn Ryder multiple times.
Merida is a badass with a bow an arrow and a sword and breaks the curse in the end.
Anna and Elsa do their part to save each other and the kingdom of Arendele.
Moana restores the heart of TaFiti and saves the world in the end.
Rya is a badass action heroine (enough said).
Am I missing something? Am I wrong or am I right?
There's also that kid from the Wreck It Ralph movies (I think her name is Vanellope)
@@TheShadow1347 Yes. Her name is Vanelope Von Shweetz .
I think Snow White, Cinderella, and Aurora are misunderstood.
Snow White made the best of a bad situation. She was fourteen, yet she still managed to remain grateful and kind. She worked hard. Yes, she was cursed and had to be rescued from the curse, but it's okay to let other people help you. You can't always save yourself by yourself. You usually don't. Almost everyone has friends and family they rely on.
Cinderella was in a bad situation as well, but it's not like she could leave. She would be homeless if she did. She still dreamed, remained grateful and kind, and worked hard. She chose to go to the ball because she wanted to go and have a good time. The prince and her happened to meet, fall in love, and marry. He did rescue her from a bad situation, but she also rescued herself by choosing to remain strong despite the circumstances. If she gave up, she would've never gained a better life.
How many people do you know that could still remain kind, grateful, and resilient even when all odds are against them?
It's been way too long since I've seen Sleeping Beauty, so I can't say much about Aurora, but I know there's more than just being cursed and rescued.
But my point is, they're more than just damsels in distress. They're reflections of real life and they're hope for people in those same situations. The hope that they will be able to endure and to one day escape. They are inspirations.
I saw winx in the thumbnail and got a wave of nostalgia. I only learned recently that winx was getting a reboot. I remember *absolutely loving* winx when it was first coming out (though i was a little embarassed about it because im a boy and at the age i was, i would probably have gotten made fun of for liking it).
And i got another wave of nostalgia with you ahowing sofia the first. Another show i loved but wouldnt tell anyone when i was younger
At least with the Winx reboot they're actually going back to the tone of the first four seasons.
Slightly more serious plots, Bloom actually drawing again and being weirded out by the fact she has magic before she meets Stella despite her interests in it...and we're actually going to see more than just Mitzi making her life on Earth something awful...and they're doing something they should have done in the first place...having Aisha present from day one....maybe Musa and Aisha can help Bloom with feeling like the new kid this time around instead of Stella demanding everything gets rushed.
I'm a boy but I tend to watch shows like Sailor Moon, My Little Pony Frienship is Magic, Glitter Force and Gushing Over Magical Girls
One of these is not like the others. XD
Or alternatively: There's an imposter among us...
Boy glitter force is great, It makes us circle the room jumping up and down. Don't even make me get started on Ulric ❤❤
Sailor Moon mentioned 💪🏾💪🏾
Oh Glitter Force. Haven't seen the Doki Doki one yet though
just in case you (or anyone in this comment thread really) isnt aware, glitter force is actually a dubbed version of pretty cure, which is like a really long running series of magical girl animes. glitter force is smile precure, while glitter force doki doki is doki doki pretty cure. theres a lot of seasons (21) with 19 generations of magical girls, so if you want to see more, there you go!
Both Totally Spies and Winx Club are getting remakes/new seasons soon. And they look pretty promising
agreed
@@dravenasselin2971 😄
The cg of Winx Club looks like a mobile game trailer but other then that, I'm pretty excited! The new Totally Spies has me absolutely ecstatic though. When I first saw the artstyle change, I was a bit iffy bit after seeing it in action, I'm happy with it.
If Winx is smart, they’ll pretend 8 never happened like how DBZ denied GT happened.
They can also mix more feminine and more masculine women. Winx Club for example was a group of very feminine girls (Thinking of Bloom, Stella and Flora here) with some more tomboyish girls. (Here I'm thinking of Musa, Aisha, Tecna and maybe Roxy) Personally I also think it was handled way better then shows of today in that regard. Because neither group was unlikeable even tho all of the girls in the club had realistic flaws in early seasons.
As someone who grow both with boyish and girlish cartoons this cartoons have my heart in childhood
People often forget 'Raya" exists because the message and generalization of SEA divided people, it came out during earlier COVID so box office wasn't good, and it wasn't a musical like it SHOULD HAVE BEEN.
(I'm enraged that the team felt like singing would've taken away from the serious tone when "Mulan," "Pocahontas," "The Hunchback of Notre Dame," and Dreamworks' "The Prince of Egypt" did it so well; it's like how the director of the live-action "Mulan" said that she couldn't see how music fit into a story about a girl going to war, but if she did, she would've included it. She pretty much admitted she lacked vision.)
This is consept for Indie Animation to invest in.
That is actually a good idea. I've been trying to make something like that.
I've been planning on making an animated remake for team angel, hopefully I can get it out by the end of next year :)
This comment reminded me of Bunny Witch! You should definitely check it out✨ it's about a ROM com between a cute, girly girl bunny witch and a cat warlock set in Brazil
0:40 'Pippi' is a Swedish story about a little girl who is strong enough to lift literally ANYTHING. I'm from Finland and Pippi Longstocking films were a huge hit among many Nordic young girls including myself growing up :D (The stories themselves originate all the way back to the 1940's however) But I can understand that people who aren't from Northern European countries might've never even heard of Pippi lol
I LOVEDDD PIPPII ID WATCH ALL THE TIME AS A KID
I’m Irish and I read pippi Longstocking as a kid. And I thought I was the only one who knew what they were 😭
@@sandystudios223 you're not alone! lol
I found myself thinking about what happened to the ultra feminine shows era myself, glad go see someone else covering it
It's been bothering me for a while and I just HAD to articulate it in a video to see if I'm the only one who noticed and it was bothering 😅
@@TheVirtualCelebrity I'm a little happy about it, at least we're getting closer to diverse female characters, not all girls like pink and glitter (It's sticky and it's hard to get rid of it, and the worst thing is that even if you don't have glitter, it still stays there for some reason and it appears anyway) and dresses, I know people look at it with nostalgia, but it just wasn't as good as people looked at it
In addition, dividing cartoons by gender is strange, because many problems are universal, and by dividing them into this genre, we separated from each other instead of uniting, boys have the right to know about girls' problems, and girls have the right to know about boys' problems
+ This division made no sense because gender is a spectrum and by dividing both productions it made many children feel ashamed of watching what they liked because it was of the opposite gender and other children were cruel
We should rather strive for balance than gender division, because considering the growing misogyny and sexism, it is less and less profitable to separate them
When gender-specific species die out and we finally get something that talks about everyone's problems, not just specific groups, it will be the best, because every girl is different, not the same, because it's human, people under the umbrella of trans and non-binary also exist, and they were omitted from the national team for years (And dividing cartoons by gender didn't help)
Anyway, I'm not surprised that in more recent times the villains were perfect girls, because they teased me too, so it makes sense, the myth was that tomboys and overweight girls were teased, when in reality it's the other way around, they're teased :/
And it was quite racist, if you think about it, many non-white girls were drawn as white ones, in short, the same face and anatomy, which didn't really help in the fight against racism and misogyny towards black women
Productions about magical girls were mainly based on characters with the same appearance, i.e. cis straight white girls, and the fact that they were often responsible for a guy caused sus, because many underage characters had anatomy that was quite inappropriate for their age (Today, such a case of miracolous , I remind you, Chloe is a child, same for Marinette, what this show did can be considered disturbing)
@@gryficowa shallow
@@92JazzQueen You're shallow yourself, misogynist
Lolirock Season 3 is in the works as well. They announced I believe last year on Instagram.
That’s why I loved the first Charlie’s Angels movie so much because it was the perfect cross between girly girl and badass. It was silly and fun and everybody loved it
Jem is a really fun show. I've been watching it lately on Tubi. The Misfits are absolutely hilarious. I like how they just want to show up smash things and cause havoc for the fun of it.
I'd say the ghost and Molly McGee is a fairly girly girl show. I mean first we have Molly who is Basically Mabel reincarnated and we all know how girly Mabel is. Then we had her two best friends: Libby who is a shy little turtle girl, and Andrea who, do I even need to explain?
Rip girly cartoons, I know my sister.Would probably be sad even though she apparently not care at the same time about them being gone
As a, closed, trans woman i allways loved girly girl shows they were my favorite and i kinda miss them, i'm happy for the "badass" woman shows and i think society needs both! Little girls needs to see that begin girly is ok, liking femminine stuff is ok! And is also okay linking more mascoline stuff! We need both, a badass warrior that likes shopping or a pixie magical girl that can be brave with a sparkle wand in hand!
I think I will ALWAYS be obsessed with THE BRATZ 2006 - 2007 , idk abt their modern stuff
as a straight guy the last femalecentric animated show i watched all the way through was 80s JEM
It's really sad to see. 😢 I really loved watching Winx Club, Jem and the Holograms, Powerpuff Girls, Kim Possible and Totally Spies.
We had star vs the forces of evil, shera, carmen sandiego i think too, ever after high ! We still had other shows
Is monster high classified as girly girl show? If so, they recently rebooted show and doll line. Absolutely enjoying new dolls and stop motion music videos (It's cool to be cool is my favorite). I can't say anything about show, don't know where to watch.
Hey! Depending on where you live I can help you with watching the show
I'd say originally it was, it at least felt like it to me anyway. I'm not sure if the new reboot continued with that though since I haven't seen much but I know they made a lot of changes to the characters and stuff
i mean the girls loved makeup and fashon and shopping... so yeah, i think it was def girly
I feel like Azumanga Daioh is a good example of a "girly show." It's just about girls, being girls. There are "tomboy" characters but she is also a girl at heart.
As a tomboy, i kinda still watch girly shows on TH-cam and Netflix like My Little Pony, Totally Spies etc.
I really do see the point you're making. I especially agree with the vulnerability aspect you brought up. I think thats part of the reason i love main characters like Luz and Adora(even though they're not exactly "girly girls" like from the older shows you were talking about). We saw a lot of both characters' struggles, especially when it comes to their self worth or always placing the blame/burder of everything on themselves and that made them some of the most human main characters ive ever seen in newer shows
1. In regards to Sofia The First and Elena Of Avalor, the latter is actually a spinoff of the former since both shows are created by Craig Gerber. There's a Sofia The First special in season 3 called "Elena And The Secret Of Avalor" which simultaneously builds off of what Sofia The First has established for its overarching narratives while also acting as setup for Elena Of Avalor and its overarching narratives. Though for some reason, Disney Junior released Elena And The Secret Of Avalor after Elena Of Avalor came out. Also, even though neither show is created by a woman, both have plenty of female writers.
2. In regards to more hyper feminine shows, might I recommend the Netflix show Princess Power? It is also a preschool show, but it is also a very fun and sweet show. It's also very female dominant given how the show centers on a group of four princesses (Rita Raspberry , Kira Kiwi, Penny Pineapple, and Bea Blueberry) helping people out, with particular emphasis placed on princesses and other female figures. It's based on a book written by women (Princesses Wear Pants, written by Savannah Guthrie and Allison Oppenheimer, who are also executive producers on the show). The showrunner is female (Elise Allen, who's worked on many Barbie movies), as are the story editor (Sindy Boveda Spackman), directors (Donna Brockopp for most episodes, Katya Rosario Bowser for a few episodes, and Mara Soriano for 1 episode), and voice director (Allyson Bosch). Many of the producers are female (like Drew Barrymore). Also, even though Bea has 2 dads who appear sometimes, the most notable form of LGBTQ Representation comes from the episode "Princess Royal Wedding", where Rita's mother Queen Ryung marries Queen Olivia.
Oh my! That Netflix show sounds nice!!
i mean the closest you can get to girly styled shows like that in this modern age is the monster high g3 reboot but even then it hardly has the girly girl elements in it which feels more like world building and exploring. Which is fine, but. Monsterhigh was always about fashion and makeup. Like modern feminism has pushed this narrative that hyper femininity is bad and restrictive but sometimes i like being a girly girl and getting my hair done or wearing lipstick and dresses. Theres nothing wrong with liking these things and its just fun to turn your brain off just to watch shows about ponies and rainbows and glitter and not have to worry about the stress of everyday life.
It’s been awhile since I’ve seen a girly girly girl show on the television or even T.V, it did slowly died out through the years which is kinda sad since the ones I watched can be very entertaining if it done right. I will admit that nowadays I’m rewatching “boy” shows that has pick my brain with interest due their story and plot (I’m a story driven person, not much of slice of life) but I will NOT deny that there’s girly shows that are story driven too, Winx Club, W.I.T.C.H and Kim Possible is one of them. I wish peeps bring back shows like these so people can enjoy it.
Show for girls before: Winx, Witch, Kim possible, MLP, Card captor Sakura, Sofia the first and Elena of Avalor.
It was cute, had good action and music as well as charming characters and pretty animation. The openings are iconic too!
Girls shows now: Totally spies reboot, Winx reboot, Lolirock... that's it!
Not a lot of cuteness and fun theses days 😐
It's actually easy, studios used to make those girly girly shows to sell toys... but after a series of cancelled shows aimed at boys that ended up a hit among girls, they realized they could just make shows that were as gender neutral as possible to not alienate boys from watching it, but girls would still buy the toys, since boys absolutely wouldn't touch girly merch (*cough*BS*Cough*) but girls would totally buy merch aimed at boys, they could save money on shows targeted at girls and use that money in a show that boys would watch as well.
Oh I kind of get making it gender neutral like Scooby-Doo. But some studios created these shows for a reason. Iginio Straffi created Winx Club for a female audience because at the time (late 90s) there were barely any shows catered to a female audience that portrayed heroism.
Miraculous was barely alive its first season was okay it's second season was better but after that the show and the Creator Thomas astruc went into the garbage bin and it's really hurtful because he's also in charge of the new totally spies I'm pretty sure which is a red flag
Oh dear
It is also disturbing that the children's characters look like adults
Thomas is terrifying, like the French Butch Hartman
@@gryficowa please Thomas is worse. I'm not exactly sure what Butch Hartman all he is accused of but at least he treats other people like respects and doesn't argue like he's 7 years old
@@gracekim25 yeah it's going to be fun ride😭
So excited for the return of Totally Spies & Winx Club plus I’m excited for Invincible Fight Girl & Iyanu: Child Of Wonder!
Pretty Cure is a good girly girls show if you want a new one! It’s kid friendly too so you can show it to your kids!
I DON'T HAVE KIDS YET!! 😭
But thanks for the recommendation👌🏽💝
@@TheVirtualCelebrity it was to everyone if they are looking for girly girl shows! Although if you look into it I hope you like it, just dont watch the English dub it’s really bad like omg 😭😭😭
pretty cure franchies in my eyes the GOAT of magical girl sure there is sailor moon but i prefer pretty cure because it looks good and the story is amazing
@@lordtraxroy I like all magical girl anime! But the one I love most is Madoka Magica because it was my childhood and I watched it since I was seven when it first came out
@@lordtraxroy I also grew up with Pretty Cure Doki Doki too, haha. I remember my favorite being Regina
and also Winx club is one my favorites of all time I used to write fan fiction where the trix teamed up with the winx to fight a diaspro gone rogue and it was sort've a disney crossover like once upon a time and Loli rock was great the songs were so stunning it was one of the shows that I really wanted to be a part of just part of that amazing girl group that fought villains and Monster high (I know you didn't really refrence that in this) helped me through my parents divorce so many of these hold a special place in my Heart and we need them back but the scary thing is they be violently butchered by companies like I'm giving the Winx club reboot a chance
I’m excited for the Winx Club reboot....I have a feeling almost all of the girly shows from the 2000s are being rebooted and no one is creating anything original. I mean magical girl anime is still girly 💖 I wanna see Enchantix again in the reboot.
I'm so sad that nobody's making girly shows like Monster High Ever After High or lolirock anymore
I HATE what they did to G3 draculaura. I didn't like G2 because of the small changes, but draculaura was still the best. G3 draculaura, I hate her, I mean, I don't hate her, but I don't like how much they changed monster high. Ugh, what did they do?
I agree
She’s more into witchcraft rather being a vampire
I want more shows like that too! It made me really happy to see spies using makeup and girly things as weapons cus it puts a silly yet cool twist on spie things. Alsow kind of out of topic but i would love to see a show with a girly girl spy and a dark mysterious james bond looking spy. That would be a 10/10 show to m
At least Lolirock will come back soon 🤷♀️
Don't forget Barbie's Dreamhouse
YES!!! BARBIE!!!!
This is why I get some my fix from Mahou Shoujo anime.
Like Pretty Cure is getting ready for season 21, yeah you heard me season 21!
I’m far from a girly girl but I loved a lot of these shows. There’s nothing wrong with them.
LOLIROCK, WINX AND TOTALLY SPIES ARE COMING BACK!!!!!!!! I AM SO EXCITED!!!!!!!!!
Does anyone remember Littlest pet shop? That show was so cute does it count as a girly girl cartoon?
Yes!!! I remember!!!
@@SnickerDoodleBug05 That show was so funny! I've been rewatching it the past few days.
@@user-oq4hz7qh1c my favorite was always Penny. My favorite episode, can't remember the name but it was them trying to save Zoe's sister then finding out the dog isn't even a girl!
@@SnickerDoodleBug05 Gailbreak! Good episode my favorite has to be the season 3 finale (it's the pet fast!).
I loved Jem and the Holograms. It’s not far from being 80s rocker Barbie. But the fact that this is a show about a rock group and their 20s made it feel adult enough. The songs are very hit or mess Most of them are bangers but they’re like a minute long and you can feel that it took maybe less than an hour to write some of the songs. If a song is bad at least it’s not playing for long.
0:38
Pippi Longstocking! I watched the English dubs of the Swedish films, read the books (ok had read to me. I was a kid.) This is a classic character! The strongest girl in the world, whose father was kidnapped by pirates, and in general a whole lot of fun.
...we continue.
I don't think girls shows will ever die.
I loved these shows so much as a little boy back in the day and my hyper masculine father used to either wonder why I loved them and genuinely tolerated them, or became really immersed and get all nerdy with it now that was some fun shit
I never thought about it before, but now it occurs to me that despite almost every Disney Channel cartoon having a female lead in the last five years, I can only think of one girly girl among them: the girl with the hat from "Haily's On It." Every one else is a tomboy, or is androgynous in personality and interests, or is just really weird.
"Winx are coming back" they never stopped doing IT :^ they where alive since birth, maybe not im the same way, animation but yeah
✨Winx we’re back again✨
Girl I feel like you need to play Bayonetta she's everything you want in a hero. She's feminine, strong, smexy loves fashion and glamor and kicks ass. I mean I know your talking animation but holy cow She holds on.
1:19 Disney is doing the lords work. They keep pumping out shows with female leads when other networks sometimes reject them. Nickelodeon rejected an animated spinoff of Pheobe and her Unicorn because it had a female lead and green lit another series based on a comic strip big nate. Don't worry about us guys we have plenty of shows with mostly dudes.
As a guy I can 100% say luz from toh is the most relatable character I've ever seen, I don't give a f*ck if a character gender is different from mine
@@jsostick I can't her. Everyone seems to like Owl House except for me. I can't get past the awful writing and annoying main character.
@@jsostick I also don't care about the gender of a character. I just want to be entertained.
The new monster high reboot is really good too. But there’s rumors of that getting cancelled
@@Audreyana I saw a couple episodes and thought it was cute.
Wish is... do you remember when studios would throw out knock offs of movies disney or dreamworks were advertising? It feels like the knock off version of a Disney movie lol her personality is "adorkable" and she doesn't seem to have anything outside of that. Adorkable, wants her grandad to get his wish. So I wouldn't say she's a girls girl no. So stripped down a character. I would be generous to say they didn't want to offend anyone, but I think they just didn't want to risk her personality interfering with a pretty unclear plot that they squeezed into movie shape. It's not unwatchable, but I'd put on any other disney movie
"Here I are" a line from I'm a star, a song from wish.
Yes. I would like to add that they made Asha the epitome of "I'm not like other girls". Merida was a tomboy, but still, tomboys are another example of feminine expression, too.
Asha was made to be a "girl" visually, physically, but that's about it. It's a similar issue with what happened with Raya's characterization, as Raya, too, is not really a tomboy, but basically a male character written to have a girl's body (and it would've been a great chance to make Raya an egg transboy and THAT would've been interesting and/or explicit LGBTQ+ representation with a Disney protag if it hypothetically happened, but I digress).
Whenever I see any of those wonderful deleted scenes it physically sickens me to remember what the actual finished product ended up being. Sure, it's not the worst thing ever, but it's what it represents, and also its objectively worse than most, if not all Disney direct to DVD sequels, as those were garbage, but had some ounce of creativity poured into them, for better or for worse, while Wish had the creativity stripped away by executives.
I'm a guy and I really like female led animated shows like Kim Possible, Miraculous Ladybug, Carmen Sandiego, The Legend of Korra, Arcane, etc..., but I guess my perspective may be different since I'm a guy, idk.
The potrayal of female characters in lead roles definitely changed tho. I would agree with that.
PS: I myself am trying to bring back the feminine heroine with my latest comic. Yes, Astra is a warrior, but she has grace, she is very feminine and a romantic. Heck, she engaged to be married!
The problem is "current year" or "woke" politics. The idea that a feminine female is "toxic" or somehow "right wing." Personally, I'd like to see a team up of a "traditional" girly girl and a tuff as nails girl. (I'd say like Jo and Blare from Facts of Life, but that ages me.)
Ah, I miss the days when you could have a conservative, a liberal, and a centrist all sit and watch a show together, and all be entertained, rather than preached at.
You said it
Oh yes, tomboys, black women and trans women are not the victims of your misogyny, and the creators who are from these groups are suddenly too woke
@gryficowa
Assume much?
I mean the people who try to make the female characters better, by making the male characters worse. The girl succeeded by believing in themselves, the boys are just incompetent. Can't have them work together, or have them presented as equals. That would send the "wrong message." Can't have a positive character focused on beauty. That gives, "the wrong message." Can't have a girl/woman work hard and train to overcome. That sends "the wrong message."
But I suspect the messages you like are the ones from your echo chamber. So I'll leave you be.
@@josephtafur Agreed!
@@wattsisnaim8111all that came from their mouths are these buzzwords like girl think for yourself
I love the fact that I have watched every single show on the thumbnail
Oban Star Racers is pefect example
The creators of that show original given an investment offer if only if they change the Character Eva Wei into a boy, they declined to do that, Eva Wei is a great female Character.
The thing about girly girl is that it never comes up with a good plot and the story is always the same ,I mean look at Lolirock this show had all the meaning for being a hit in its time ,but it never stuck to it is full glory.
Miraculous is still going on they are making season 6,7 and 8 so how is it dead?
Elena of Avalor is about a traumatized princess who watched her family be murdered then got trapped in her Amulet for over 40 years, AKA Sofia’s Amulet, as her sister and her grandparents on her mother's side are trapped in a magic painting. The show starts with them being freed and defeating the wicked sorceress who killed Elena's parents with the help of the only one who did not get trapped in stasis from magic the cousin Esteban. I'm leaving out a lot of stuff but this show never should have been put on dieney junior it's kind of like tangled the series honestly.
Yeah, hearing people's synopsis of the show has me going WHY WAS THIS ON *_DISNEY JUNIOR_* OF ALL PLACES!?!?
Should've been on Disney XD AT THE LEAST!!!
I really really hope that Lolirock has a decent season 3. Im reallly looking forward to it when it (hopefully) comes out, (even if its been announced i just want to be realistic). Girly shows are so cool and alot of the cgaracters are super iconic to me even till this day.
i think this is kinda why i've been hating all the recent remakes and reboots of 2000s and 2010s tv shows
Which ones?
@@chenillesagoe6348 like the winx club live action which happened a few years ago and even the monster high reboot to an extent. plus whatever velma was. not all of the characters were necessarily girly girls but still they all got changed too much
I have been asked for a recap of Elena of Avalor, which makes this my time to shine. Prepare for an essay!
Mild spoilers ahead, but I'll do my best to keep the big spoilers out, and focus mainly on stuff you need to know to understand the special, which sets up the show. I do have to spoil the special though, in order to explain the show.
So, to explain EoA, I need to also explain Sofia the First. Sofia became a princess when her mother married the king of Enchancia. She was feeling insecure, so her dad, King Roland gave her a necklace that he'd been told protected princesses. This was the Amulet of Avalor, which was previously worn by Roland's sister Tilly. When choosing the necklace though, it actually called out to him. He didn't choose it, rather it started glowing on it's own when he was picking out a present for Sofia (important later).
The amulet also has a legend behind it. "With each deed performed, for better or worse, a power is given, a blessing or curse." Sofia ends up being granted powers by the amulet. Any time she does something good, she gets a power. When she saves a baby bird, she gains the power to talk to animals. When she does something bad though, it curses her, and she has to make up for what she did to remove the curse. The amulet also connects the wearer to all other princesses through time and space. There's even a 4th, secret power, which Sofia learns from her Aunt Tilly. It can take her to the Secret Library, which is a magical library that keeps track people and their stories that have turned sour. Sofia's job here is that she needs to help the stories find a happy ending (important later). The amulet's power is actually limited more than it should be though, due to a single event that happened 40 years prior to the start of the show. This is where we switch to the plot of EoA.
On Elena's 16th birthday, she was given the Amulet of Avalor, and told it would always protect her. Not long after, the Kingdom of Avalor was attacked by an evil sorceress named Shuriki. Shuriki used her magic to kill Elena's parents, and tried to kill Elena too, but the amulet protected her and pulled her inside of it. She was found by her royal wizard, Alakazar, who formed a plan to free her from the amulet. It was going to take time though, so he sealed Elena's sister and grandparents in a painting to protect them from Shuriki, and went on a journey to find a princess who would be able to help free Elena from the amulet. He wasn't able to do this in his own lifetime, so he left the amulet in Enchancia, and turned himself into a magic book in the Secret Library.
Fast forward back to Sofia, and we find that Sofia is having a dream about Shuriki invading Avalor, and attacking Elena. She wakes up and finds that her amulet is telling her she needs to go to the Secret Library. When she gets there, Alakazar's book comes out and tells her Elena's story. It turns out that Elena had been the one to make the amulet glow when Roland was looking for a present for Sofia. Elena had sensed that Sofia might be the one to finally free her, so she tested Sofia through powers and curses, and sent her the dream when she felt Sofia was ready.
Since her family was already planning to find somewhere to go for summer vacation, Sofia suggested they go to Avalor. When they get there, we find that Elena's cousin Esteban is also working for Shuriki, in an attempt to try and keep her from finding a way to hurt his grandparents and little cousin in the painting. Sofia also meets the jaquins, who are the protectors of Avalor, but were unable to stop Shuriki from taking over. Since they couldn't stop her, they made due by taunting and pranking her instead. They agreed to help Sofia, and take her to Alakazar's old house to find his grandson, Mateo.
Mateo was a self taught wizard, but he had to keep his studies secret since Shuriki had banned all magic that wasn't her's. He summons Alakazar's spirit guide Zuzo, who tells them where they need to take the amulet to free Elena. Sofia ended up needing the use of some of her powers in order to free Elena, but it works, and Elena emerges the same age as when she was first drawn into the amulet. There's a bit of filler, Elena has to learn a lesson, and then they wrap up by defeating Shuriki and freeing Elena's family. Sofia goes back home with her family, and now the amulet no longer curses her, and she only needs to wish for a power to receive it. She can also now be summoned to help other princesses, instead of only summoning them to help herself.
The EoA show picks up right after this, with Elena being unable to officially take over the throne since she's still technically 16, so she's named crown princess with a grand council of advisors that advise her. These people being her grandmother and grandfather, her cousin Esteban, and her best friend Naomi, whom she meets in episode 1 and is teased during the special explaining Elena's backstory. The show mainly revolves around various problems that pop up around Avalor that Elena has to solve, as well as her learning what it takes to rule a kingdom.
It actually has some really mature overarching plots, which I won't spoil, but really help the show to resonate with older audiences as well. Highly recommend if you like magic, adventure, and comedy!
HOW WAS THIS A DISNEY JUNIOR SHOW!?
HELLOOOO??? 😭😱💀
Thanks for the recap tho! 💝👍🏽 THAT'S SOUNDS SO EPIC!!! Now I know why people watched it RELIGIOUSLY!!! 😅
Why is Moana not a girls girl?
But where are the women in STEM shows at? Hellooooooo🤨
May your pillows and blanket be warm tonight 😂😆🤣
@@TheVirtualCelebrity I don't get it. 🤨
^ They're making a joke about "WHAT ABOUT SHOWS AIMED AT SMART WOMEN!?" 😅
Project mc2..?
@@areionamckeegan2533 exactly and that’s the only show that comes to mind
Wish could have been a girly girl movie if we got Asha X Starboy romance love story. Disney will forever regret scrapping this story and making the King and Queen of Rosas Evil.
No but this is EXTREMELY relatable cuz now I can't even watch a show without it having like I'm not like other girls and I'm different!! I'm a girly girl and I would like to see a nice main girly girl character that's not portrayed as the antagonist or mean girl of a show!! Ofc ppl can still make I'm not like other girls the main characters but it would be nice if they would make some other shows with girly girls that aren't the mean girls, like now the phrase ''I'm not like other girls'' is like totally wrong lol cuz almost every main girl character either loves cars or skateboarding and hates clothes and makeup so that's like the ''norm'' now so if you're a girly girl just say you aren't like other girls cuz being a girly girl is different noww!!! Oop sry for the long msg
Yes!! 100% this!! Girls girls now are being painted as the villain/mean girl stereotype and I haaaaate it!!
@@TheVirtualCelebrity Me too! I'm tired of seeing this. I think Every Witch Way handles this well.
OMG I can this now!! In the strawberry 🍓 Shortcake 🍰 reboot 2021 they made Raspberry Tart a girly antagonist...Oh wait! The mean girls are antagonists too and they are both girly🤭🎀🛍💕💅🏽💅🏾
YEAH I HATE THE ANTAGONISATION OF FEMININITY SO MUCH
Jem is an 80s animated cartoon. It's super upfront about the main characters being girly girls. In the show, you follow an 80s pop band named Jem and The Holograms and their adventures against The Misfits (who I would argue are pretty girly just in a more edgy way). Overall, it's a fun and hilarious show mind you some of the animation is wonky but it still holds up.
Anyway, I completely agree with the points you expressed in this video and find that it's a shame that so many higher-ups get the wrong idea about expressing femininity as well as female characters in general. I myself am more of a tomboy, but still feel enticed to dress in a hyper feminine way and it sucks it's not being so readily presented in media, particularly children's animation the way it used to be. I actually just watched your Carmen Sandiego review video! I'm pretty sure it can't be categorized as a girly girl show, but the protagonist exemplifies a lot of qualities I feel most films/shows now completely miss out on.
Totally spies season 7 is still in the works, hopefully they don't fuck it up.
Girly girl is healthy.
9:26 I agree that we need an equal balance of girly and tomboyish characters, but isn't what you said at the timestamp the entire point of the movie. (While the movies morals on trust... need work) The whole point is that Raya feels she can't be vulnerable, she can't trust others, because the last time she did it led to the world almost getting destroyed.
I agree girly girl shows is rare now days. I love writing, watching girly girl shows. I feel like an another reason is that being a girly girl seen as "cringe" by society still.
I absolutely LOVE Winx Club, Miraculous, and more...
Pippi Langstrumpf is a character from a German film, she also has an animated series, although I've seen more of the film than the cartoon
I speak as a person from Poland
Pippi is a cult in these areas, at least on the part of Generation
Pippi is a girl whose father is a sailor, so Pippi lives without her parents (Her mother is dead), Pippi has superhuman strength and creativity, has a horse and a monkey, wears stockings with two different colors (Her surname comes from the name "Stocking", however, it is in German, but there is also a Polish version of this surname)
And a woman from the orphanage is harassing her because I want to take her, because she thinks that Pippi is a poor orphan, and there are also two thieves who want to steal her coins that she has from her father
Although movies may be sus for Americans
Pippi is originally Swedish not German. She is a character by famous children author Astrid Lindgren. It’s true that Lindgren‘s works are extremely popular in Germany, but they’re not from there.
Watching Totally Spies as a kid was a huge guilty pleasure. 💕
What abt Mia & me? The last season(s) weren't that great but it def was girly girly
You should watch _Hailey's On It!_ I hope they announce Season 2 soon.
I've working on my own magical girl story.
It all started when I was thinking about colors and their associations. and I just ran with it from there.
I'm still trying to figure out the lore and the villains since there's some inter dimensional chicanery going on.
Korean and Chinese shows like Secret Jouju, Balala Ocean Magic and Catch! Teenieping are also worth note
Sadly now if you make a girly show you will be called sexiest
Hey Queen 😊
Sorry I'm late but thank u for giving this man some entertainment during while he's sick
Idk, despite being for adults both Hazbin hotel and Helluva boss has really girly female characters like Charlie, Rossie, Verosika or Queen Bee. Also the She-ra reboot on netflix is literally all about magical princesses with bright cute colors, even if some characters are more tomboyish than others.
Turning Red is one of the girliest of girly girl movies in recent years and you cannot argue otherwise.
THEYRE BRINGING BACK LOLLIROCK?? YEAAAAASSS
Here are some girly shows I suggest:
IDK if you've seen this but:
Sabrina the Animated Series/Sabrina's Secret Life: A cartoon duology series based on Sabrina the Teenage Witch.
Ever After High: A series about the children of fairytale characters going to school.
Monster High
Descendants movies and Wicked World cartoon: Basically Disney's answer to EAH. The aesthetic is more punk than frilly fancy glitter as it focuses more on the children of villains as the main characters instead of heroes' children, but I'm a girl and it's amazing.
Polly Pocket: Polly Pocket got a reboot on Netflix, it's not connected to the 2000s movies, but it's in its own universe. Basically Polly is a child genius who inherets a locket from her grandma, which can shrink her and her friends Lila Draper and Shani Smith. They go on adventures that are very girly themed and have to outwit Griselle, a British woman who wants to take over the world.
Kim Possible
Madeline: A cartoon about a French orphan girl who lives with 12 other orphan girls in an orphanage in Paris run by a friendly nun.
The Aladdin and Little Mermaid cartoons. Yes they exist.
What About Mimi?: A Canadian show about a redhead girl who always looks on the bright side of life. It's not special, but the aesthetic is really cute and it's a calm, easygoing show.
Unicorn Academy: A new Netflix cartoon.
The Ghost and Molly McGee
Jem: If you haven't seen Jem, it's actually AMAZING I'M NOT KIDDING! It's about a woman name Jerrica who is the owner of a music company. Her late father leaves her a computer which creates holograms, and turns her and her friends and sister into the pop band Jem and the Holograms. They also have rivals in a punk band called the Misfits, and in season 3, a Led Zeppelin-esque German band called the Stingers. Also, the Holograms run an orphanage and they use the money they get from their concerts not selfishly, but to help the orphanage and other people in need. It's glorious 80s camp, the songs all SLAP, and many 80s and 90s kids including my mom, grew up with it. They also had a doll line in the 80s, rebooted comics aimed at an older audience (which are also great). It was also extremely diverse and sometimes touched on heavy topics. The Holograms have black, Asian, and Mexican members, the Misfits have Pizzazz, who's Hungarian-American, Roxy, who's Italian, and Jetta, who's British. And the orphans are diverse too! As for heavy topics, they include an episode where an orphan gets addicted to drugs, a recurring orphan who wants to find her dad (who was in the Vietnam War), an episode about Jerrica and Kimber (the sister)'s parents dying, Roxy being illiterate, episodes with the Holograms foiling an attempted coup and saving the president, and an episode where Riot (the lead singer of the Stingers) gets character development. He's usually an arrogant prick who tries to get with Jem, but one episode goes into his past as a child with an abusive dad who shames him for wanting to be in a band instead of in the army, all while their bickering stresses out his mom who D*ES, and an episode where Jem's friend Danse goes to Croatia to find out about her parents, and discovers her ballerina mom's manager blackmailed her and had her dad sent to jail for a crime he didn't commit. Then he tries to force Danse to stay forever or else the Holograms would suffer the same ate, Sorry for the long tangent but Jem is an amazing show and I would suggest it.
We are missing girly shows for real. But Totally Spies is back, and Winx Club is coming back, so that's nice
Korra is a perfect example
She's has a Tomboyish style but she can rock a dress every now and then
5:18 I love Sofia the First and Elena of Avalor! They are really good shows!
ok but what about rainbow high, ever after or monter high? those are all really good shows and rainbw is still going on
0:39 that’s Pipi longstocking
You should watch it
Tell me what you think
The thing missing in cartoons now is positive femininity practiced by actual biological females. Don't get me wrong, I have nothing, but respect for non-girly characters, though it is ok to be feminine. Girls and women should not have to choose between being feminine and being strong. We don't expect men to choose between being gentle and being masculine.
What do you mean? Totally spies is back??
Did you hear about the totally spies season 7/reboot series?
Edit: Nvm you mentioned it 😅
*Spoiler for my visual novel game, There will be a Magical boy/girl/they transformation but I'm going to hide it as a April fool's update.
