soc_puppetWith the Barbie Official playlist deleted from YouTube, I went to a different source and decided to try watching Barbie movies more from the beginning. Mistake! Mattel started making them in 2001, and the computer animation is very much of its time. I managed to get through Fairytopia okay, buuuut am still pretending that the end wasn't as ablist as I predicted it would be less than five minutes into the film. I got fifteen minutes into the direct sequel, Fairytopia: Mermaidia, when the most godawful uncanny valley human-faced sea turtle was introduced. I just... why? Animals do not need to look like humans to be cute!
I think I'm going to keep watching this one for now, though if it gets too unbearable, I have permission from myself to skip to whatever the next movie that catches my interest is. I know they have a fairly radical change in style by 2011, at least, by which time the animation improves pretty drastically.
Edit: The role of Humanface Turtle turned out to be mercifully brief. On to Fairytopia 3!
