Whenever I tell a person that I absolutely LOVE the Barbie movies they either assume it's a joke, think I'm stupid and immature, or simply look at me like "what's wrong with this person?". What I have learned however is that once I can convince a person to watch at least one Barbie movie that I recommend to them, they actually end up enjoying it. I know there is so much hate out there about Barbie that I could really get into because I would defend her every step of the way. She's a doll, but she's successful, encouraging, and all about being yourself not being her. I admire Barbie as an icon for America and a role model for girls to dare to be the best. I never once played with Barbies and said to myself "why doesn't my body look like hers" She was just my friend.
When the first Barbie movie was released "Barbie in the Nutcracker" in 2001, my mother bought this for me for Christmas and I watched it that Christmas Eve. It was so magical and fun. From this point on I fell in love with the idea of Barbie, the imagination that comes from these movies is inspiring as well as all the life lessons you can learn from the films, but mostly they are just fun for everyone. There is so much humor in them that I still enjoy today as an almost 22 year young adult. After this I began to ask for every Barbie movie that ever came out and so between my sisters and I we did end up receiving every barbie movie sooner or later and once I got a job I started buying them for myself.
The music, the friendship, the self-empowerment these movies can offer anyone and the laughter and happiness you'll feel after watching them is well worth it.

Though I enjoy every single Barbie movie I've seen to date, there are some I enjoy more than others and some were mostly just amusing or enjoyable and stupid at the same time. One of these enjoyably stupid Barbie movies was Fairy Secret. This movie confused me a little but it had one of the greatest Ken moments I've ever seen... Behold, Ken with pink tiny baby fairy wings.
Now that I have shared great things about Barbie there is one thing you should know, and it's about Barbie and the Pink Shoes. This is the worst Barbie movie of all time. My best friend Mei-Belle and myself desperately love Barbie and watch them all together, she bought this movie for me as a gift and we sat down to watch it together. We were actually speechless and then laughing to tears when it was over. This movie is the most confusing, random, nonsense of all time and we loved it!!! If you ever want to be mind-blown with stupidity and randomness, this is the movie for you! WATCH IT NOW IF YOU NEED A LAUGH!
Now I'm not sure if Barbie Life in the Dream House counts as a movie but I expected this to be really stupid but it is so adorable and funny. If you haven't yet seen it, just take a couple minutes to watch an episode or two. You will have no regrets. Chelsea is my favorite of this web series on youtube.com and now also available on Netflix.
Barbie is for EVERYONE, my brothers have enjoyed this, my friends, my mom, my co-workers. If there are any children in your life, take this opportunity to use them as an excuse to get into these animated movies filled with fun, adventure, imagination, and life morals!
