soc_puppet: Dreamsheep as Lumpy Space Princess from Adventure Time (Default)

While I'm at it, Barbie as the Princess and the Pauper is kinda hilarious? Like, naturally the narrative makes a huge deal of Princess Annalise and commoner Erika not only looking exactly the same except for hair color, the writer went to the trouble of even having them being born at almost the exact same time and on the same day. Which would be pretty remarkable, if just about every other Barbie movie I've seen so far didn't have a terrible case of Same Face, with many of the main female characters also looking Exactly Like Barbie Except For the Hair, and also all the main dude characters closely resembling each other. This includes both love interests in this film, who might have pulled a Prince and Pauper on their own if Barbie and her lookalike had been unavailable. Like, the premise is that it's supposed to be incredibly remarkable how similar Princess Annalise and Erika look, when it's more unusual for main characters not to closely resemble each other in a Barbie movie.

(That said, the plot for this one was pretty good. Absolute minimal embarrassment squick shenanigans with cute romance subplots, a thorough condemnation of indentured servitude, and Princess Annalise saving the kingdom through being a science geek.)
