Barbie movies are always fun to watch, but this 2001 entry stands out from the rest.
The Big Picture Barbie has been a dream-chasing iconic figure for years, so it only stands to reason that the character would inspire a live-action movie starring Margot Robbie as the iconic doll in human form, Ryan Gosling as Ken, and a star-studded ensemble playing other versions of Barbie and Ken as well as human characters.
Barbie’s animation has always been a little stiff and unnatural, especially in 2001 with the very first film. But Barbie in the Nutcracker makes sure to animate its dance scenes with grace. This is especially notable during the elongated sequence following the Mouse King’s defeat, during which many side characters get their moment in the spotlight, ending with Clara and the Nutcracker performing their climactic ballet.
The biggest change has to be the Sugar Plum Princess reveal: Clara is actually the legendary Sugar Plum Princess who reverses the Mouse King’s spells. Revealing Clara as the fabled princess gives the story one last twist while conveying the first Barbie-branded message to young girls: even though you may not know it, the quality of your character makes you a princess.
