I don't really life the fourth film as a whole (mainly because they kind of re wrote her personality,I expected it to be way more romantic than it was and the end scene is kind of eh) but I really love that scene. It's perhaps the most romantic scene in the movies.

When I first watched the movie, my favourite was Anneliese but as I rewatched it grown up I rooted more for Erika. I know that Anneliese is technically the protagonist and the "Barbie" figure in this movie, I just was more empathetic towards Erika. Maybe because her struggles are realist and she's genuinely kind. Like the scene where she's disguised as Anneliese and gives her food to the lady in waiting and she looks so surprised ( meaning that no royal has ever done that for her), her emotional journey is better to follow and I preferred her romance with Dominick. I always thought that her leaving him for a bit to live her dream was such a mature writing choice for a kids movie and the fact that he waited for her despite that is the sweetest. Anneliese was also rude to my man Julian for no reason ( like you're not that special from the outside bur you're good on the inside?) . Idk I also loved Erica a bit more because she had brown hair and brown eyes like me even though her skin tone didn't match with mine. Although, I love Barbie it was special to see a brown haired girl like me be a protagonist.

I grew up with the Barbie movies and even though there's a shift in their tone in the three musketeers, I feel like Princess Charm School was truly the end of an era. Everything after it just didn't feel the same for me. I also dislike the films where Barbie is a mermaid/gets to be a mermaid I feel like Barbie movies were truly at their peak when she was a princess/fairy or a ballerina. That's why my all time favourite movie is 12 Dancing Princesses. Anyways, what do you think?

Clara's hair is still to die for

I always loved Lottie's pink puffy gown. It's so fun and pretty. I also love Anastasia's opera gown but it's not exactly underrated

I always preferred the original Enchantix and the animation Bloom's and Flora's are probably my favourite winx looks of all time but I appreciate that they tried to emulate the original style in the movie.

I always thought that something about the swan lake gown made it superior to others. The design it's just so ethereal and unique. I remember the Barbie doll from this movie that had the wings too. It was so gorgeous. I love Erika's dresses throughout the whole film too and Rapunzel's masquerade dress. Unpopular opinion but I feel like the island princess one was the worst one. Not that the dress is ugly but I think the peacock wings ruin it.

I always loved King Dominick the most. He was probably my first crush ever lol. I like how he let Erika live her dream and waited for her. They're probably my favourite Barbie couple. I like how he's the only King love interest too and not a prince loll. Also, as much as I like Julian as a character in this movie his romance with his own student is a bit weird. I also really loved Derek from 12 dancing princesses and Antonio from the island princess

Mine will always be 12 dancing princesses. The soundtrack and the story were so good. I always thought it was Barbie's magnum opus in a way.

I always loved Anastasia, this whole movie was my childhood (even though it's not technically Disney) and I had a huge crush on Dimitri.

Mine will always be episode 3x13 "One last fluttering of wings" this whole episode had me shocked as a child, it was so heartbreaking for Tecna and it was a pivotal moment in a great season . What's yours?
