Barbie as Rapunzel was one of the two Barbie films that I owned when I was a child on VHS. And so it will always be my favorite. So today I'm watching it for the first time in years. I still love it.
Barbie as Rapunzel is a 2002 American-Canadian direct-to-DVD computer-animated fairy tale film directed by Owen Hurley. It is the 2nd entry in the Barbie film series and features the voice of Kelly Sheridan as Barbie. The film is adapted from the Brothers Grimm fairy tale "Rapunzel".

THIS FILM! the best. There's that meme going round: 'girls don't want boys, girls want classic barbie films to be on netflix' which is scarily relatable.
Yessssss!!!!
Not only the girls. I want this movie on netflix because its the best barbie film that exists. I will love it forever and i'm a boy who's 22 years old
@@jonasattia4411 we love that
@Lor Einyoure right ,but i liked it anyways
No, we want to own all the dvds
Before Tangled, this was my introduction to the story of Repunzel, and I thought the reveal of Gothel stealing Repunzel was really well done.
Same, I grew up with this version and this one is the best for me
I know the feeling mates. This movie was a staple in my sister’s childhood, and I naturally ended up exposed by proxy. Definitely the best of the bunch, and I can totally see the influence that it had on Tangled :)
Its so sad that Kelly doesn't exist anymore. She was in a lot of the older movies, and its almost impossible to find a Kelly Doll. No one remembers Kelly at all.
if you go to garage sales and thrift shops you can find kelly dolls some times. Chelsea is basicly just kelly with a new name.
She still exists, they probably changed her name to Chelsea just cause it sounds less dated
I remember kelly
I had kelly dolls
We actually has a huge argument going on because we didn't know they changed the little sisters and my mom was a Skipper kid, I was a Kelly and my little cousin is a Chelsea and we all tought the others were insane
@@christiannightshade5886 In my country she was called Shelly haha.
She flies in to rescue the prince on the back of a DRAGON!!! What more could you want?
"She wore a crown and she came down in a bubble, dawg!" Same energy 😂
I just realised, this movie subverts the cliché Princess stuck in the tower with a dragon guarding it. Instead, its the princess and the dragon are best friends.
Yeah, but there's still another dragon guarding her. xD But hey, she frees herself and goes to rescue the prince, that's cool.
Yes and mixted with the original tale
My personal favorite is the Island Princess. Makes my parents cry every time we watch it. Highly underrated.
Same!!!! I also loved the 2 Mermaid Tail movies and Diamond Castle. Funnily enough, Princess and the Pauper was one of the ones I never saw as a kid, so it’s not nostalgic for me
Yes that movie was actually really well done like the water looked so good for a barbie movie
That movie was one of the greatest films in the series. Its my third fave along with the 12 dancing princesses and the princess and the pauper. Reminds me of my childhood days ☺
Best song easily! And even slightly better in the Swedish dub???
SAME! I LOVE IT 💕
WAIT did disney stole barbie rapunzel’s quirk with drawing? well they already stole mattel’s ever after high i mean-
Opp-
Disney had their Rapunzel wear a purple dress too, when Barbie Rapunzel had that look years before, funny that.
There's a Sailor Moon character called Berthier. She looks similar to Elsa (even the hair), has ice powers and sister-issues. xD It might be a coincidence, but I'm not sure.
@@chaoticneutralsheep Prince Stefan and Flynn Ryder also wear similar outfits 😂
No, because the two movies are adaptations of a tale
The old Barbie movies are iconic
In particular the four first because for me, it marks the time where I became too old to play with Barbie dolls (I was 10 when " Barbie in the Swan lake came out)
my childhood is undeniably rooted in the barbie movies
That’s a funny way of saying “The Princess in the Pauper”
wait that typo sounds so wrong-
@@moonassery26 Idk I ship it lol
I 100% agree 😆
same tho
TP&TP is my top along with 12DP 😂
Choosing between Barbie as Rapunzel and Barbie Princess and the Pauper is the hardest decision I've ever made
THESE ARE GOLD
I had the soundtrack to princess and the pauper on CD and I played it in the car every day and I danced with a skirt on... (yet my parents never guessed I was gay??? 🤷🏻♂️)
I like them both and also Barbie and the nutcracker 😙
Barbie 12 dancing princess is and barbie pink shoes are top tier
@Eternal Snow it just is??? It’s so good
@Eternal Snow i just thought it was really creative and the dancing was gorgeous. Barbie had no love interest, and the one where she PLAYS odette doesn’t count cause she was tryna live, so that was cool. And the fact that they changed it up a bit with the whole “he recognized the fact that she goes with the flow rather than sticks to the choreography” that part gave me goosebumps PERSONALLY. I also adore the dance she did alone as jezelle. And then the ending was everything. Listen to the beat of your heart is a bop and the dance was amazing. And i loved how throughout the story, the people in her real life played people in that story (aka tara’s dad as rothbart, or the annoying teacher as the icequeen wanting everything to be perfect in both real life and the story, or tara being odeel because at first she wasn’t very supportive and she seemed kinda show offy, and prince sakefreed being tara’s real life dance partner because he was always supportive since the beginning) and i also got goosebumps when she defeated the ice queen. Bonus points to how FUNNY hilarion and ablrecht are as a duo. I adore them together. Barbie pink shoes is, to me, the best NEW barbie movie. It doesn’t beat the classics, but it’s so good to me. But i’m not someone who’s picky with movies, especially barbie, cause i go in with an open mind. I don’t ass kiss the classics. Hope this helped you see another pov as to why this movie is good!♥️
When everyone only knows Rapunzel from Tangled 😭 I was like "Nooooooo". Barbie as Rapunzel is also a masterpiece 👌
Same for me. I even refuse to see " Tangled " because for me only this movie was the best
“Give him to me”
“Aughhhh~”
@Lakeira Randell I think it’s a ferret but either way it is definitely cursed
Magic of Pegasus was my favorite 😁 Barbie’s character actually spends time with her love interest through the entire film so there’s good romantic development especially because they act like they hate each other at first before they fall in love and I love romantic dynamics like that 🥰
One of my favorites too! Such an amazing movie
i’m biased toward that one bc of the figure skating and enemies to lovers. **chef’s kiss**
Me, I loved Ollie
When I was a kid and watched this, I never understood the "She sure is mad at somebody" line, because I never realised that the photo was slashed. I just saw it as the man wearing a really wide brimmed odd hat. xD
Same!!!
yessss I also thought that too, i didn't realize the picture was slashed 😂😂😂
Wait what!? I was just watching this movie on drugs (not me on drugs but the editing) and i still saw it as a weird hat. That makes so much sense why the rabbit responded with "or his head". I thought he ment to say that the guy is crazy to date her
Omg, I did too
THIS. I THOUGHT THE SAME
Which gothel is the most evil? This one or the one in Tangled? Gothel there was lying to her and keeping her imprison in the tower but she never destroyed her favorites things or toys. This one is far more despicable! Not only she lied about Rapunzel's parents during years, she also treat her like a slave AND pulverize her only chances to escape. This witch is way more evil than the other gothel O-O
I love the dresses in this movie, they are so creative and pretty. The Bo beep one is nice and the first one too :D Love the music, she's smooth and angelic!
I think Tangled's Gothel is a more compelling villain. The gaslighting/manipulation is - in my opinion - much creepier and a lot more realistic than just, well, being evil 😁
@@juliad.2225 Not to mention Disney's Gothel didn't have any magic powers. She used her power of manipulation to trap Rapunzel for so long. It's scarier because anyone has the capability to be that version of Gothel.
I think this one us the most evil. In " Tangled ", Gothel treats Rapunzel as her own daughter despite the fact she forbid her to go out but here, she considered Rapunzel as to work for her to pay a debt
"Give him to me, UHhH" best part of the movie
I found a clip of just that line 😂
I NEED TIME STAMP THATS THE ONLY REASON IM HERE
@@xlottle3413 SAME PLEASE TELL ME IF YOU FOUND IT
You can’t just make statements like this when Princess and the Pauper and Magic of Pegasus exists.
I'm actually pretty excited to get to those! I've seen princess and the Pauper but haven't seen the Magic of Pegasus.
@@thebestofstephx Magic of Pegasus was my favorite! Amazing ice skating, one of the best Barbie villains, and an adorable polar bear. It’s a fun adventure, and they go to this Cloud Kingdom I was obsessed with. I collected the dolls of the Cloud Queen and princesses, who are the Kellys in this one.
We had a special 3D version, and there’s an awesome picture of my cousins, sister and I all lined up on the coach, with our fold up pink 3D glasses on, completely invested.
@@thebestofstephx you’ll LOVE The Magic of Pegasus! It has my favorite romance couple in the entire franchise. Aiden is best boy! 🥰 and Shiver the polar bear cub is adorable
@@vixiestarfire burn the cub that polar bear was so annoying to me, even as a child like PLEASE STOP MESSING EVERYTHING UP FOR CHRISTS SAKE
Pegasus is a bit too dreamy + it always seemed like a bland copy of Swan Lake (girl transformed into a flying creature/ purple horse / evil wizard / good queen / troll giant in both films etc)... but I did like the pegasus horse toy + little Kellys with flying ponies
it took me out every time, when rapunzel's hair got chopped off, everyone else was DEVASTATED but rapunzel was just inconvenienced at best. she really took that like a champ
I agreeee, my God tier Barbie movies are the first four: Barbie in the Nutcracker, Barbie as Rapunzel, Barbie of Swan Lake and Barbie as the Princess and the Pauper.
But Barbie as Rapunzel left me speechless as a child and it still does as a 20 year old, wow it feels magical literally.
This 4 movies came out just before I was considerate as too old to play with Barbie dolls (I was 11 when the princess and the pauper came out)
Fun facts: The person who plays Penelope the dragon, is actually Suzie Carmichael from Rugrats
Hey I know this is only loosely related, but theres a Tangled tv series and it's literally amazing and nobodys talking about it. So if you find the time, could you please react to the sequel Tangled: Before Ever After (cause it segways into the series) and then Rapunzels tangled adventure? It has a different art style but all the same voice actors and I think the art style makes it better. The music is fire and they added some really interesting characters. I promise it's worth the watch.
People talk about it! People - me.
I second that. TWICE! Both are great!
I actually prefer it over Disney's tangled. There, I said it
Right?!?!
Me too💜💜
Them not finding her for 18 years makes 100% more sense with the magic wall
Same
FACTS
My favorite was 12 Dancing Princesses. I would always dance around during and after the movie. I couldn't afford to take ballet classes but that's the movie that developed my love for ballet. Every year I go to see Swan Lake and the Nutcracker. Old Barbie movies are honestly the best thing ever. I always get nostalgic watching them.
It’s the *CRISP* sound effects for me
When I was a kid doing theatre classes one of my instructors was actually the voice of Barbie across many of the films (including this one) - Kelly Sheridan!
Lucky
You lucky person! I'm jealous.
Fun fact: Kelly Sheridan is the voice of Starlight Glimmer on “My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic”! :)
Get out! You are not serious
@@Rosegirl398 No, I'm serious!
8:21 Off topic rant but as an artist, this scene makes me SO MAD. I would lose my shit if someone messed with my art supplies...all the really good art supplies costs a lot which is why I don't let anyone touch my copics and so on. Big canvases are especially expensive!! Most of all though, I spend half an hour to 3 on a single piece of my cartoonish art so imagine how much time and passion Rapunzel spent on those LITERAL MASTERPIECES!!!
every time I watched this as a child afterwards I would immediately pick up my paints or pencils and start drawing. It always inspired me to draw.
This one, the princess and the Pauper is the best, the nut cracker creeped me out. Last year I went on a binge to watch as many Barbie movies as I could as most I have never watched, and I much prefer the older ones even tho the graphics were pretty shocking
The old Barbie movies are adaptations of tales or ballets so it makes them more authentic
I'll give the movie this : it's opening music is GORGEOUS!
Without a doubt, all the classic Barbie films, (Nutcracker, Swan Lake, Rapunzel, ETC.) are definitely the best bar none. Nothing can top that.
While Barbie Nutcracker is my favourite, I've seen this movie more times. It's the better movie, honestly. I rewatched it during lockdown last year - at age 23 haha
ONE OF IF NOT THE BEST BARBIE MOVIES THAT I GREW UP WITH!!! I love old Barbie movies from my childhood!!!!
As a child I saw this movies in spanish so its interesting to hear what everyone sounds like in English lol
I saw it in portuguese, seeing in english is so different
You forgot about one thing that made this movie top tier..
“Give him to me, Ughhhnnnn~”
Y E S
Yup
The story in this one is the best adaptation of rapunzel I’ve seen, it takes the story and makes it so fantastic!
This is one of my favourites as well, maybe even my absolute favourite. The early Barbie movies were such a huge part of my childhood, I love them!
As a guy, I love this movie. My little sister used to watch these movies religiously and you can't help but watch every now and then. The music is so good in this movie.
This and Princess and the Pauper were the shit.
BIG FACTS
Respect 👌 my little brother watches them with me and my sisters too
Mad respect. I watched them myself when I was little (Rapunzel was always on request because I adored Penelope, her picture on the cover being what drew my attention when picking it out from the video store because I loved anything involving dragons, especially good dragons), though my older brother gave me endless shit for liking them. They have some good morals and much better characterisation than I remember in retrospect.
I literally think I could recite all barbie movies from the first generation
This was Rapunzel growing up for me, I still think it’s better then Tangled but it might just be nostalgia 😅
I was hoping you would show your reaction to Otto saying “give him to me” and moaning
Yeah what a waste of a video
I only came on here to see her reaction to that scene.
I am an unashamed Barbie fan. These movies need more attention and I thank you for reacting to this❤️
"Oh NOW you can aim, Tommy!" I died XD
THIS WAS MY CHILDHOOD!! Along with swan lake and princess and the pauper
Definitely the greatest
Especially the asmr footstep chase
❤️
Girl I totally agree! I can't even tell how many times I watched this as a kid hahah
The color scheme of this movie was SO gorgeous!!
I definitely agree some of the other Barbie movies are really good too but the Rapunzel one is the best to me.
Her hair is long at the time of the wedding because theres a time gap between the ball and the wedding!!! They didnt immediately get married and i love that ❣❤❤❤
The brush only changed into a paintbrush because she made a silent wish to the stars that she was going to be free...I think😅
I love Your reaction when you remember that Goffle woe Rapunzel’s hair
The score for this film is phenomenal. Once we went from VHS to DVD, I would listen to the DVD menu music over and over (the music from when she's designing her dress). So freaking good.
All of the classic Barbie movies are beautiful, they have this ethereal, magical soul that new Barbie movies now aren't able to replicate🤧
Let’s just take a moment to appreciate Stephanie for making the amazing, hilarious videos! Out of every youtuber I’ve seen react to something, this is %100 the best one.
Thank you so much!! ❤️❤️
I see no lies 😌👑
th-cam.com/video/NbPGcqSOaJI/w-d-xo.html what name say
Your very welcome!
This movie is the reason why I am an artist right now
the noises in the film are so satisfying
HOLY SHIT!
THAT'S THE CASTLE THAT HAS BEEN IN EVERY ISEKAI SHOUJO MANHWA I'VE READ!! How!?
I have all Barbie movies in DVD, I'm 28 years old and I'm proud of my collection :D
Me too T.T but i've lost it because i have too much stuff hahaaha
I just watched this and I'm gonna start watching all of the old barbie movies again
I used to be such a big fan of barbie and seeing the most recent release of barbie and feeling betrayed I came back to watch a barbie movie ❤. I remember once more why barbie is so loved.
She's strong and true, but also kind and generous. She would never harm anyone on purpose but would always defend herself and her loved ones and stand her own ground. She doesn't complain about what she doesn't have and she does her best with what she does.
She's not arrogant and she's patient. She's supportive and accepting.
She's an inspiration.
People say she projects unrealistic expectations, but I feel like she's a role model of sorts. True we all have weaknesses but life is about recognizing them and learning to be better right? And barbie shows how to do that.
And plus, songs from barbie movies slappp. My personal favorite is every single song from the Diamond Castle
" Belieeeve, and sing from your heart you'll seeee. Your song will hold the keyyyyy" 😆❤
Maybe the experience is different for those raised in western countries tho. Things seem more complicated over there...
honestly barbie as rapunzel and barbie as swan lake and barbie as princess and the pauper and the nutcracker and the magic of pegasus will always remain as my favorite barbie movies of all time and watching you watch barbie as rapunzel bring so many magical memories
9:53 If you remember, Hugo's now stuck here too. She threatened to destroy him if Rapunzel was caught escaping again.
That's why it has such a big payoff when Penelope risks his wrath after he's imprisoned, by telling him about what Rapunzel did, and by extension what SHE did.
Penelope the dragon was voiced by the same actress who did Cleo in Clifford the Big Red Dog, Cree Summer.
YEEESSS!! im so glad im not the only one who has seen it. Whenever i occasionally bring it up, no one remembers it
th-cam.com/video/NbPGcqSOaJI/w-d-xo.html what name say opinion
This one is my most fav movie, it gives me the most nostalgia cuz I remember being sooo obsessed with it. The intro really got me and the whole movie kick started my interest in art :3
when tangled came out I could hardly enjoy it as much as everyone else did because the barbie as rapunzel movie set my standards sooooo high already
Barbie as Rapunzel is my favourite Barbie movie that I finally got the DVD and I watched it after I finished Happily Never After franchise! I always hate Gothel, she reminds me Lady Tremaine! In my opinion she is more inspired of Tremaine especially in her bedroom scene where she drinks tea and Otto is more like Lucifer that he tries to eat Hobie like Lucifer tries to eat Cinderella's mice and they are both failed to eat them! Gothel is my favorite Barbie villain and she's the best and she could be more perfect to connect with Frieda and Lady Vain from Happily Never After franchise! I love this movie together Disney Tangled! It's the best Barbie movie that I ever watched! And Meryl Streep played the witch (Gothel) in Into the woods, I'm so curious about Tangled live action!
“I’m so sick of this weasel lemur thing” 😂😂🤣 I’m dead
My fav is the Princess and the Pauper. That is actually the most fav if you find a list of fan favs. But I will always love Constant as the Stars Above. Barbie is my guilty pleasure lol
Honestly, I wouldn't have been so into art if I hadn't watched Barbie as Rapunzel as a kid. Also, I loved playing the art game on the DVD because that would be my first introduction to classic paintings. The dresses, the paintings, and the magic in the art will always have a special place in my artist's heart.
Lmao as an artist that painting exploding scene was so scary lol
I love this film so much. This film was responsible for getting me into art. Especially (if anyone had the DVD) the Artist in Me that was a documentary type of thing on the title screen. I would watch that whenever I watched this movie.
I remember when I was a kid I would watch this everyday and when I say I BEGGED for her ball gown for Christmas every year. Eventually my parents bought me a dress up costume version of it and I NEVER took it off until it fell apart.
That's cute
You know why I'm here....:
"gIVe HiM tO Me! AuuhGGGHHH!!!"
Ahahahaha you’re really amazing, I loved 🥰 this vid… 😍 great job 👏.
I think Princess and the Pauper is the best one, but Rapunzel is my second favourite!^^
And the fact that Penelope is Susie from the Rugrats. I mean come on! All-star cast here
15:06
*_NEVER RELEASE YOUR PRISONER WITH A LYING HEART_*
I remember this movie was the only thing I had downloaded so I had memorised the entire thing since I watched it a million times! 😅It also kinda inspired me to do art and I remember trying to recreate the paintings in it! ahhh memories 😌🎨✨
I feel like I love all the fairytale ones x3 or at least the movies from 2001-2011
They're so good with the music and the Barbie roles are basically... Not roles for me.They're that good x3 I love them so much x3 the intro omg 😭💙 that only starts to get me emotional lol I can't imagine watching the rest but I still do now as a grown up and I see myself getting emotional anyway xD
Ahh the Barbie girls from the movies are all so cute 😭😍
Best transformation scene for reals
I feel like despite the animation not being perfect,it's so much better than recent Barbie...?
I’m biased towards The Island Princess. I still watch it all the time lolol.
Give him to me aughhhh 🥵😩😩
I loved this movie so much!! I had the play set with the tower and paintings that went from blank canvasses to full paintings with water, and the doll had hair that got longer if you pulled it and then shorter with a button. The movie came with the set on vhs and I watched it *so much*
YES YOU'RE RIGHT QUEEN
honestly i rewatch barbie as rapunzel like at least once in a few months
I really wish her hair was more involved in the story
This movie is actually better than tangled in my opinion
I’m shocked that Anjelica Huston was Gothel. In fact, the Barbie films had famous actors as villains.
I probably watched this one the most , but The Princess and the Pauper is always going to be my favorite. It's hilarious and the music is amazing. Swan Lake had the best clothing design, according to my childhood memory.
15:06
Tower, tower, do your part
Give him to me *uugghhhhHh*
Gurl, your reaction is a mood lol,, thats so me
In my childhood I watched so many Barbie movies
Barbie makes up my childhood
The secret door
Princess charm school
Rock n royals
The lost princess
The 12 dancing princesses
Three musketeers
There are so many more I love them
"Give him to me! mmnnnm"
Hearing the opening of the movie for the first time in 10 years gave me chills.
I was only 3 to 4 years old with it came out. My older sister got a VHS copy, and before i did watch Barbie in The Nutcracker only once. I had a few opportunities to watch it. And i will say, i did like it back in the day. Rewatching it recently, despite the outdated animation, i still enjoy it, the soundtrack is a major highlight of the movie.
This is the only Barbie film I've ever watched, and therefore my favorite one.
As an artist. Yes this was my favorite xD but the one that got to me first was nutcracker.
knew i recognize the dragon voice. love cree summer :D. great reaction lol
may i suggest watching the how to train your dragon franchise?
I wanted to see the "give him to me, ungh" lol
The dress painting scene is a staple in my childhood. ✨
I wanted the paintbrush just for that
By far the best movie of all that I still remember it 20 years later and now I have my daughter watching it 💗💗💗
She likes it ?
