'F' in the chat for those of us who had these dolls when we were little, got rid of them when going through a teenage crisis and now regretting that decision every day
Literally me rn 😭
Or lost some of the little pieces 🥺 but it proves how much I played with them when I was little
I was forced by my mom at age 10 to get rid of them.
This is me *every day* when I think about how I gave away Rene and Aramina from Three Musketeers anddddd now they are hard to find 🥲👋
Ugh, I knowww! I had that one Mariposa doll with the giant wings but I foolishly donated it!! :(
Can we all agree that we from 2000 to 2010 had the best time movie dolls??? I feel bad for kids these days, the dolls are awfull.. we were so Lucky and did not know it
i like the newer dolls and some of them are better tbh
well I did and now I feel so robbed
I’d say the 2001-2006 movie barbies are better, they declined in quality from 2006 onwards
@@Adv18 not really they had pretty good quality in the early 2010s
Its ok, kids nowadays dont play with barbie dolls. or at least they stop playing with them at a younger age.
The Clara doll is seriously breathtaking. I guess they decided to put so much effort and love into the very first barbie doll they weren’t Even able to beat themselves haha
It’s not the first,barbie dolls were made in the 60’s
@@jujuba2022ap technically the first Barbie movie doll would be the iconic Barbie and the rockers dolls from 1986, as the film/tv show came out with the doll line
She meant a doll from a Barbie movie
@@Adv18 technically but even in the nutcracker doll commercials the announcer says "barbie in her first movie"
@@ruendheartthey mean the first barbie from a full length movie
Man the thumbelina doll brought back MEMORIES. My sister and I used to toss her out of the window of our apartment to these girls who lived in the one below us and they’d throw her back up so we could pretend she was flying 🥺
That's so freaking adorable!!
That’s so cute 🥺 my sister and I had the brunette and blonde friends of the Barbie Thumbelina (I forgot their names)!
@@sophiawahdan I believe they were chrysella and janessa
This is the collection that all Barbie fans wish they had 😭
YES
Yes
ikrr
@@thankunext5602 I'm trying to collect some of them but the oldest ones are so expensive😭
@@thedaydreamgallery i knowww i look at pics of older dolls(usually discontinued) online and cry like omgg because are charging in the thousands for a single doll and i get it but its kinda crazy expensive especially when the original retail price was very affordable ahhhhh
also a good tip is buying from second hand/thrift stores you'll be surprised by the amount of old dolls/toys you'll find for a cheap price i once found an old Barbie toy laptop from the 2000s omg and Annelise and Erica dolls in good condition with the clothes and everything also a good selection of bratz dolls
The swan lake was so much prettier than most of the dolls that came after her like honestly top 3
I agree
For real, she looks so classy, and her whole look is just ethereal.
Not to mention her wings look crystal and expensive, and other dolls' seem kinda cheaper in comparison.
@@EveRosell her dress is my absolute favorite
@cloudvity I KNOW!!!
That doll had the best buy ons; I remember having Odettes blue dress that she wears for the first part of the movie and it was sooo pretty and detailed.
The barbie dolls of the 2000s were
✨️ E V E R Y T H I N G✨️
Mariposa is one of the prettiest Barbie dolls ever, like seriously. She doesn't even look like a Barbie, idk how to explain, more like a drawing that you'll see scrolling through Instagram. Perfection.
Exactly her and Catania were one of the most attractive
Everyone say it with me: "Thank you Cait"
THANK YOU CAIT!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you Cait!!✨
Thank you Cait, for constantly reminding us that you're never too old for Barbie! 🥰
Thank you Cait
Thank you Cait! ❤️
im so surprised at how amazing the quality of the older dolls is
Yeah, that was before they decided saving money was more important than having quality dolls.
I feel like they cared more then. At one point Barbie was just made for money, movies and dolls, but back then they actually cared.
Why? Older stuff has always been better quality. On anything.
Yes it's a very jarring change when you look at the earlier film dolls and then look at the modern day ones. The clothes were so beautifully detailed, and her face didn't look as cartoony as the newer ones.
Sure the new ones have more diversity and body types which i think is wonderful, but quality wise? Mattel went downhill. I'll never forget when i saw one of those cheap peel away surprise barbies with slime in them. It was the fairy one and it looked so horrifically cheap when this youtuber unboxed it i was appalled. The clothes were molded on plastic, and the fairy's wings looked like cheap paper. It really made me wonder how mattel went from the beautiful fairytopia doll to THAT!?
For some reason the barbie diaries one was what amazed me most, the beautiful detailing on the outfit but also all those amazing working props/extra bits!!! Like cait said I really can’t believe that was just a normal play line doll back in the day
i had both of the girls from the diamond castle and i would make them sing together 🥺 anyways i’m a sapphic now
Same. On both.
My sister the pink one and are cousin had the purple one but we never had them together 😭
I think my favorite is the swan lake doll. She looks like a collector’s item. I love the dress, the sparkly wings. Just gorgeous.
Honestly the gowns got uglier and uglier as they progressed
Honestly I would love to see ALL of your Barbie doll collection
But how dare you putting the fairy secret doll so low and those god awful puppy chase higher?! She was one of my favourites when I was a kid 😭😭
@@jesonsastak2205 But given the fairy looks we had before her, such as with Elina & Mariposa, I agree that the placement of the wings was really awkward and honestly, the outfit wasn't that special either.
@@DJtheBlack-RibbonedRose I mean now that I am thinking it... *Sign Your right, nostalgia is probably covering my eyes
@@jesonsastak2205 Don't worry, it *was* nice in the movie, but didn't translate well onto the doll in the end. 🤔
@@DJtheBlack-RibbonedRose tbh It was kinda of a meh movie... Why is Barbie so surprised about fairies and stuff when literally fairies helped her in fashion fairytale which we know that fairy secret is a sequel to that film... Barbie didn't even said to Raquel or to her friends "hey I know that fairies exist I worked with them in my aunt shop" like wtf Barbie?
Honestly Odette is probably my favourite doll, but mostly for nostalgia. I remember how I used her wings as a flashlight when I wanted to read under my bedcovers 😂 I can still vividly imagine the blue tint.
I wanted that doll SO BADLY but my parents never got her for me I dunno why I didn’t even like the movie as a kid lol
Yes, and those bulky plastic wings
Honestly I think all of the dolls look really pretty even though I only had the island princess doll
When I saw the number 17 my jaw almost dropped, it's so beautiful.
I always saw Barbie fans complain about the downgrade of the quality, but now I can see why... They difference is too big
Girl if you love how well made the Clara barbie is you need to get a 1960s barbie because the clothes were made with snaps and zippers. Yes Zippers it's insane how much attention to detail they had
Aren't those really difficult to come by though?
Yeah 1960’s Barbie’s with their clothing still on and in good condition is gonna be CRAZY EXPENSIVE 💀
Yeah 1960’s Barbie’s with their clothing still on and in good condition is gonna be CRAZY EXPENSIVE 💀
fun fact if you have the Alexa barbie too from the diamond castle when you press the buttons at the same time she harmonises with Liana I was obsessed with them as a kid and really annoyed my parents by trying to get them to play at the exact same time
I only had Liana and I desperately wanted the Alexa just for that reason
I remember I had the diamond carriage that played the music for them too
Saaame. My sister and I are singers and eventually we got tired of trying to get them to sing at the exact same time and just learned to sing the harmony. 😂
And Alexas dress was done much better. Plus it was super pretty
tori and keira from princess and the pop star also do that but they have a piece of magnet in their hands that when they go together, they sing at the same time
Maybe I'm biased because I had the mariposa doll with the pop out wings as a kid, but I thought she was gorgeous, and the way the wings unfold is so graceful and dramatic and fun
Yeah but i agree with her because i really love the mariposa first one more than the second.
i never had her, but bro i would so anything to get her now shes just beautiful
My sister gave it to me as a Christmas present, I played so much with her growing up. I used her wings as fans lol
I think the wings are so beautiful
I had her too. It was my favorite doll. Barbie from Fashion fairytale too. I really don't know how. I never liked pink, especially not that shade and i also hated glitter and sparkle, but somehow those two dolls were my fav.🤣
the amount of times i said “oh i have that one!” was unhealthy
Same girl same 😮💨
I only had the Genevieve doll growing up, but I would do ANYTHING to have those Odette and Anneliese dolls because they are absolutely BREATHTAKING 😭😭
I’m an 06 baby, but I grew up with a lot of the old movies/dolls bc they were secondhand. My granna had the anneliese doll and the princess and the pauper castle and I played with those every time I saw her
To be honest, the length of the jeans of the Barbie doll from the Barbie Diaries really screams 2000s, since jeans with that length are very popular at that time.
Yeah the Capri pants are very reminiscent of Lizzie McGuire and stuff from that era haha especially with the platform flip flops.
@@thegirlleastlikelyto oo, maybe Hilary Duff worked on her outfit too
The fact that you used the smallest bowl you had and then tried to dunk them in it is very caitlin and I love it
"as you guys know, Princess and the Pauper is the reason I breathe" yes girl
i love how she's vibin with the songs without making it awkward she is so pretty
Me realizing most of us are adults... okay, continue...
PLS THE WAY WE ENJOY THESE MORE THAN KIDS
No one can claim that you are not dedicated to your craft.
Growing up I had the Mariposa doll from the first movie and I used her as decoration, so my father put strings on her so she could "fly" in my bedroom. Also, great and nostalgic video, just what we needed ❤️
Do I have the time to watch this 45 minutes video?
No.
Will I watch it?
Yes.
about the color change mermaids, their effects have already been activated so you would have to put them in warm water for it to change back to normal. that's why they were "not working".
I had the Mariposa doll, and I wish I could go back and tell my younger self to take better care of my dolls. She was gorgeous, and that movie was an ALL Time favorite of mine.
Same I'm so sad because I still remember the day I got it with my mom aaaaaaa I should have taken good care of it
If you press Liana's and Alexa's button at the same time the sing together with the correct harmony!
As someone who buys up old Barbies to clean, restyle, and fix them, the Barbie from Barbie in the Pink Shoes (and other types of dolls that have that style of dress change) is a frequent flyer for needing fixing since it relies on a string to do that change and if the kid pulls on it too hard to 'remove' the skirt, they just get this little mess.
I get the Barbies that are supposed to have wings (but have been lost) a lot too.
I think what is missing from most of the newer dolls is the playability factor. Yes, the gimmicks are cool and sell dolls, but I don't want to play with something that flips the doll in the long run and if I lose it, then I just have a hard plastic doll... And I can't stand when the clothes aren't removable - it limits the story telling you can do with a doll. When they have the light-up torso but the other components of the doll are lost, it doesn't seem like something fun to play with. You're just left with a cheap robotic doll. The older dolls have a more life-like quality to them.
Princess in the Pauper doll was my all-time favourite Barbie doll as a kid. She was my best friend and the regal star of all the little scenarios. Her hair is such higher quality than some of the newer dolls too. We love to see it. Thank you for such a detailed video! Really interesting to see the dolls and match some of the messed up ones I have to a Barbie movie. Explains a lot!
What I learned from this: Barbie dolls have awesome shoes
You know what bothers me most about the Mariposa doll from Mariposa and the Faitpry Princes ... shortly after the first movie came out, they actually made two other dolls with big Butterfly wings, that transform into a dress ... and they actually locked really pretty ... so why can't they manage to do that same thing again, multiple years later ...
They just don't know what kids will like these days, I'm sure kids today would find that mind-blowing. That movie is the reason I know that the word "mariposa" is Spanish for "butterfly."
@@broadwaybrook2319 i think they know full well their quality decreased, but it's cheaper to make the less detailed dolls and parents will buy them regardless because of the Barbie name. Barbie dolls have been decreasing in quality since the 70s
Yes! The Fairy-tastic Princess dolls released 4 years before the Mariposa sequel, and it executed the folding wings to dress gimmick so much better. I don’t understand how they could mess up so badly with the sequel doll by giving the “dress” no pattern on the outside and making the wing mechanism so much more bulky and distracting. But I guess the Barbie movie dolls were regressing by this time anyways🤷♀️🤷♀️
I never realized the Barbie movie dolls came with so many features and accessories. I expected some accessories and for them to sing, but none of this twist her or crank her back to fold her wings or change her skirt stuff. But I am here for it. I am a 23 year old man, but I am seriously considering looking into getting some of these because I love the Barbie movies.
I didn't know this channel before watching this video, but this gal looks so pure when she stares at her dolls, she's so happy my Grinch-heart melted. I'm subscribing just to help her, she looks so kind and gentle.
But like I am obsessed with Eden Starling as a character and as a doll. Her design is just different from other barbie dolls. Instead of the cute or the pretty look, she has this elegant look. Her eyes for example are shaped differently from the other barbie characters and dolls that were marketed during the same era and I LOVE her beauty mark. She just looks so sophisticated.
But also the movie, right? It's just so vastly different from the usual Barbie movies
@@sharlytastic960 Yes! Seeing a flawed main character was so refreshing. And I love the whole victorian era setting. The costumes, while still very barbie-like are less fantasy and more historically inspired. And I overall love the whole past present future thing. Eden has such a well written backstory that explains her motivations and behaviour and shows us her history with Catherine. Everything was very gradual as well. Nothing felt rushed.
It was a very unique and well made Barbie movie. I love it with all my heart.
@@lydia8526 Yes! We don't usually get to see "Barbie" as a flawed character in her movies, she's usually made to be very likeable (which works in some movies better than others) and even the ghosts of Christmas are just so iconic. I think this movie deserves more recognition because I feel like it often gets overlooked even tho it's such a good Christmas classic.
I love your name 😭😭
@@sharlytastic960 she honestly kinda reminded me of the holiday barbie dolls
I would NEVER have been able to guess what the Star Light Adventure Barbie did. Like what 😂
Her cat was flying XD
I wish you would’ve shown a picture of the Barbie in the movie for each doll to see how similar they are. Loved the video
I totally and completely forgot I had Clara as a child. This just brought up so many memories 😭😭
After years of admiring most of these dolls in the little collection pamphlets that came with the DVD's, it's surreal to see them all in the flesh AND out-of-the-box! 🌹🤩
YES.
Bruh the little pamphlets
YES I USED TO SHOW THEM TO MY MOM
the skipper doll from Barbie in a pony tale is honestly so pretty- they gave her earrings and she’s gorgeous > the Barbie from that line
ikr fav skipper era
So thrilled the nutcracker doll is #1, I remember having her as a kid and she brought me sooo much joy since I could put her in so many ballet poses!
I need someone to look at me the way Cait looks at these dolls-
we need a room tour now, i wanna see all of it
She’s done a room tour already!
You need to make a video where you rank all the barbie villains or antaganists as some of them don't deserve to have the title of villian🥰

@@rapidswelsa3306 ah yes all hale king preminger
I had so many of these dolls from 2001-2011 and it’s so cool seeing them in good condition cuz my nutcracker, rapunzel, swan lake ones looked super ratty after years of play. I think the nutcracker one’s head popped off and never sit back on quite right…
God, my bane as a kid was the plastic torso they kept doing for Barbie dolls, where they painted the clothing onto the skin. I HATED that, because it meant I couldn't dress the Barbie up in other clothes properly - it always just looked wrong. And for some reason there was a period of time where they did that for like every movie doll.
Omg I distinctly remember begging my mom at walmart to get me the Ro doll and I was able to convince her by getting the one that sings in french because it would be "educational"
I was feeling sad that the quality had apparently decreased since I was a kid but happy to see that recent dolls (Princess Adventure) have returned to a nicer quality. Great video, I want to collect the first 6 movie dolls now haha.
Oh my sweet goodness, the Sugarplum Princess Clara doll unlocked wonderful memories!! She was more of a surprise gift than usual** and I remember thinking that her dress was the most beautiful thing I'd ever seen. Other dolls in my toybox got to wear the top skirt sometimes *IF Clara was feeling generous that day lmao🤣* but I rarely changed her clothes because I loved this look so very much.
And boy howdy, I loved her HARD haha. Eventually, both feet broke off at the ankles and both her knees stopped holding a pose but even then, she sat in the Spot of Honor next to my bed until I left for college. SUCH a lovely doll. 🥰 Thank you for reminding me of her!
**She was a surprise for two main reasons:
1) I had been pretending I was too old for dolls by the time this movie came out (I regretted this the moment I saw the Sugarplum Princess commercial)
2) Barbie commercials back then didn't always confirm other skin tone options, and my parents made a point to only pick the darker girls. I liked blonde Barbie -- I did have a couple that were gifts from friends -- but seeing *only* her in TV ads for the more deluxe dolls used to make me kind of anxious lol.
The Alexa doll's dress was soooooooo much better than Lianna's. It was like a corset but in the skirt, you just pulled on it and it tightened so it pulled open to show her more glamorous dress
I adored the Barbie Swan Lake doll and the Barbie Rapunzel doll when I was little! I hope you don’t hate them 😅 excited to see their ranking!
I had the Odette doll as a kid and she was simply magnificent. An extravagantly-designed doll for sure but not to the point of being over-the-top. Same with Rosella (Island Princess). ✨
@@DJtheBlack-RibbonedRose exactly! I always thought the Odette doll was so beautiful, I have so many fond memories of playing with the doll as a kid! The island princess is definitely along the same vein.
@@elizabethgomez4050 I still can't believe Caitlin doesn't like the peacock dress...it's one of her most iconic looks! (And one of the very few Barbie dresses where pink isn't the main color. Idk maybe she'll like it better on the doll but I'm not there yet).
Edit: Yay the Rosella doll in the top ten at least thank goodness!
We had Rapunzel, Odette, and Corinne, but they were the cheaper ones. Still good though. We also had the Annika, Annalise, Liana, and Merliah from the first movie that are shown here. I always wanted the Rosella doll and my sister wanted Mariposa but we never owned them
Those two were my favorite along with Barbie and the Nutcracker.
Also the tattoo and streaks on both Merliah dolls is because the gimmick of the doll was meant to be that they appear when she’s in the water and when she’s dry the tattoo isn’t there and the hair is completely blonde - but because both are around a decade old it wouldn’t work anymore because the thing they used to hide it has completely faded aha
Yes!!! This video is so nostalgic!! I owned repunzel, Annalise, Genevieve, and Anika, but I think Annalise and Anika were my favorites! My mom kept them all so that my daughter can play with them one day 😍
I almost cried when she brought Anneliese up... I used to have that doll and absolutely ADORED her... it's so high quality, seriously gorgeous...
i’m high key jealous of your collection tho-
edit: also compared to what her dress looks like in the movie, the perfect christmas doll isn’t the worst- i mean, thats just comparing it to it in the movie so thats not saying much (also yes i have a bias cuz i hate a perfect christmas with a burning passion 😳)
Same also RIP
Same
Is it that bad? I haven’t seen it yet, should I even watch it?
@@jayden.dayyan your gonna wanna punch a 6 year old by the end so
yeah perfect Christmas is a really annoying movie
I would love to have a video where u just jam out and sing-along to your all time favourite barbie songs
I would sit here for however long that took
growing up I had the Anika doll and didn't even realized it ??? like seeing her dress now I just remembered vividly having the exact same doll, it was probably my mom's tho, she gave it to me as a birthday present and she was my favorite one to play with, so beautiful
You brought so many pleasant memories with these dolls 🤧🤧 I'm so sad I had the majority of the dolls and movies up until 2009 and I didn't keep ANY of them 😭😭😭 (also I was obsessed with Mariposa she's so so pretty 🤧)
With Twila in 12 Dancing Princesses, the reason why she has her string piece is so when you twist the string she twirls
I NEVER THOUGHT OF IT LIKE THAT I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST AN ORNAMENT
Just a little tip: on the doll from A fairy secret, you can drag the purple dress all over the blue skirt, so that the bottoms are just purple:) makes it look prettier💗 Loved the video, wish I had all the dolls as well
This was a such a trip down memory lane omg. I had the Mermaid Elina doll, Magic of Pegasus doll(despite I hadn't seen the movie)
I also had Annalise as well which I remember the most. I also think I may have had Odette? It looks familiar especially the wings so I am gonna say I did. You also mentioned the Rose Barbie, which i had as well.
But wah such nostalgia this video was.
I also had two little flower girls that were part of the Fairytopia merchandise, one was purple and the other was orange and I just remember being obsessed with those two.
the first mariposa barbie was so beautiful, I had her as a child and was mesmerized by her, i remember just looking at her and admiring her instead of playing with her. that's how pretty she was. she had a petite build and the prettiest chiseled face. her hair was is silky too. I feel sad because I lost her a long time ago. I'm an adult now and still remember her that's how well done she was!!
the fact that pearl princess isnt placed higher on the list is truly shocking. HER HAIR TURNS PINK WHEN DIPPED IN ICE WATER ?!
Yeah like most other color changing barbies
Before I pressed play, I said to myself "Nutcracker Barbie has to be #1" She was the only Barbie movie doll I had as a kid, but she has remained the favourite among all the dolls I owned back then.
Sometimes I wish I kept all my childhood Barbie dolls. When I see videos like this one, at least I can live vicariously through other people. Thanks for making this ranking! ❤
I used to use Annika's dress as a wedding dress. I did have a proper wedding dress, I don't know.
I also am so glad that the white part is actually part of her dress, I remember it was a kind of soft fabric like a pillow or blanket and I totally thought I had just done something weird to the dress
Your passion for the Barbie cinematic universe makes my heart smile :')
When you spun the Genevieve doll i got hit with a wave of nostalgia.
I am a product designer and this is extremely interesting to me! Thank you
This had become one of my comfort videos and while I never owned any of the dolls, watching you talk about them is just heartwarming. idk what it is but whenever I feel down I like coming back here. Also, the 2000s and some of the 2010 dolls are just beyond belief beautiful! Like I WISH I owned just one of them. anyway, keep up the great work Caitlyn, your videos are my dreams coming true!
I had the Elena Mermaidia doll as a child, I got rid of it, because I though it was too girly/childish to have and now I’m 20 and I regret this decision at least once a month :( omg, I also forgot I had the Genevieve doll!!! This is so upsetting, why did I get rid of them 😩
I too had that doll. All three Elena dolls to be exact and they got lost when I had to change countries. I wish I could keep them, my parent didn't even remember what happened to the dolls. Sad memories.
I miss my old doll collection. My mom sold them without my permission years ago TT^TT
My mom forced me to sell them and the pain never went away ;-;
Mine sold/threw it away with permission, and I forget they’re gone
@@ruendheart well at least you gave them permission. Most of my dolls (Barbie and not barbie) are on holiday to China (that’s what I say when i loose ant toy. They go on holiday)
Sag is the name of the Red Panda. He's one of my all time favorite Barbie sidekick. He's so underrated and deserves more love. His loyalty and love for Ro is everything.
It would be nice to see some close up clips of each doll while you describe them, however I do realize that would also mean a lot extra work. I never thought I’d watch over 30-minutes long video about Barbie dolls when this popped up in my YT suggestions but here I am, actually interested to see and hear your opinion about them! Good job :) I think I’ll have to take a closer look on your channel :)
I'm still mad at my little brother for breaking my Rapunzel's hair, even though it was over a decade ago. In my defense, it was one of two Barbie movie dolls I owned and I was always *so careful* with my Barbies! He mysteriously never broke his own Barbies 🤔
Your brother had barbie dolls? How curious, mine only had transformers and dinasours and only grab my dolls when he needed to smash something on his role games
@@marinadeburgos8666 right? Lucky boy lmao I wasn’t allowed to even ASK for a Barbie let alone have one. One time I stole the heels of my cousins Princess Tiana Barbie and my parents gave me so much shit for it.......I was 5.
@@stxrstrxckmxteo515 me and brother used to both get only get Barbie dolls for Christmas and birthdays bc of how obsessed we were with them we used to play together 24/7 with them! I found boys that have only sisters usually play with barbies more than a boy with brother.
Breaking? You meant cutting?
You think that's bad my sister ripped all of my sisters Barbie dolls head of Che won in a contest 35 doll that got there heads ripped of
I had the Nutcracker dolls when I was a little girl, and I remember playing with them for hours (and still have them 20 years later, lol). They were just the nicest, most detailed dolls, and the dancing gimmick was done so well. I loved that they had changable outfits without anything being odd or clunky. Like the prince doll just had a mask/cape situation to go from human to nutcracker. So much more fun to play with than chunky knobs and finicky strings. They didn't need flashing lights or added sounds. Those dolls were just perfection for play or display, and I wish Mattel could get back to that level of quality.
I completely agree with the Clara doll. She was my absolute favorite doll when I was a kid. I got my hands on another Clara doll recently (my first and old one broke long time ago) and it has become my prized possession. I love her so much! I also had Erika, Odette, Rapunzel and others which I sadly don’t have anymore. *sighs* They really don’t make them as good as they were back then.
I remember being mesmerized by the original Mariposa’s face because of how beautiful it was!
I used to have the Clara doll when I was little and after years of moving from house to house, she got lost along the way. And now I'm going through a crisis bc I want her back 😭
I had the barbie diamond castle dolls as a kid, but I had the cheaper ones that didn’t sing or switch dresses. They were just in there princess dresses.
i literally cried over the last 10 dolls bc they reminded me so much of a childhood and the iconic barbie movie which are so sweet to heart
At 42:08 the way you were looking at her and singing along was so sweet and so relatable lol I feel the same way looking at the classic Barbie dolls/that whole era of movies. I loved this video so much. I have been wanting to sew costumes of all the dresses (at least Nutcracker-Diamond Castle) I think I’m going to.. I also think I’m gonna buy all the dolls from that era again 🤣 it makes me sad how much the quality has deteriorated but I do treasure the fact that we still have access to the original era and that we got to live through it, such a blessing. This was so entertaining and I loved every minute! Thank you for sharing your collection with us 💘
Would love to see a ranking of Barbie fashionistas. Even just of looking at the pictures of the different dolls. You asked “Mattel what are u doing” and honestly I think fashionistas is an amazing concept. If my parents let me play with barbies as a kid, I would have loved them
I thought it was a great concept, though I feel certain proportions and aspects could've been pushed further.
Its funny but I have a lot of memories around the first 3 movies.
-I had the swan lake and Rapunzel Barbie and I wish I hadn’t given them away in a garage sale. I’ve looked into replacing them but the dolls cost too much so it might be awhile before I buy them.
-I got swan lake Barbie and a swan lake Barbie styling head for my first birthday since moving to my new home. i also really loved the swan lake Kelly that looked like fox and I don’t remember if I had her or not.
-I got a beautifully illustrated book that tells the story of rapunzel at my old schools book fair
-I remember I tried to win the Barbie nutcracker doll in a raffle at a local nutcracker ballet performance but didn’t.
Aw I'm sorry you didn't win the raffle, that would've been awesome. I low-key despise raffles because they're so anxiety-inducing, and it's so annoying when you don't get the prize you wanted most and instead get the prize you participated in only for variety's sake. 🙃
My gran got me the Rapunzel, Swan Lake, and Nutcracker dolls (and their Kens) when I was little. I got to choose one set to open and play with (I chose Nutcracker because I was obsessed with it), and I had to keep the others in box. I remember being so mad that I couldn't play with all of them, but now, as a 26 year old, I still have the Rapunzel and Swan Lake sets mint in box, and I'm glad I never had the chance to mess them up. I do lowkey wish I still had the Nutcracker dolls in box, though, because I've lost many pieces from them over the years, and Clara's head was tragically snapped off at the neck when my cousin stepped on her.
@@singingwolf8997 I bet they’re still beautiful too. I feel like the really early movie dolls are probably worth a lot, at least from what I’ve seen on eBay.
It's so cool to see all these iconic barbies all together!
One thing I've always had mixed feelings about were barbie dolls with gimmicks that altered the form of the doll for the sake of a specific function (like how Mariposa had that thingy on the back to roll the wings down), just because depending on the gimmick it completely limited my ability to change the doll's clothes. I loved seeing how the outfit of a specific Barbie looked on my other Barbies, and depending on the doll, the original clothes either wouldn't come off or wouldn't fit on anyone else because of their specific format. To me, the perfect movie-adjacent Barbie was just a Barbie with the outfit of the movie - no crazy functions, no batteries needed, no buttons to push. The best changes you could make to a doll were all articulation: dolls who bent their elbows and knees were everything to me!
I watched this entire video to see Clara, I'm so glad you put her at number 1 because she was my absolute favourite as a child, I took her with her everywhere and she is just so gorgeous.
So my flower barrettes are from my Raponzel doll. Thank you for solving one of my life greatest mysteries.
I had merliah from the second movie and she’s was my absolute favourite doll. From what I remember is that her tattoo and hair colour only appeared in sunlight not water so since your doll is a bit old it’s experienced enough sunlight for the mark to be there permanently
When I was younger and Fairy Secret first came out, I begged my mom to get me the Barbie doll for it. But she had seen reviews similar to this one, that it was bad the wings sucked, and got me a Graciela doll instead. I am so glad my mom was smarter than me
I can’t be the only one who got anxiety thinking that the flying cat was gonna get caught in her hair-
I still have my Odette. Never really played with her because I thought she was so pretty. Now I don't regret 😊
I’m about to cry. I have a run down version of the Rapunzel i got it as a hand me down and I’ve never seen it so pretty, I didn’t even know it had a hair piece
Also I have Serafina but not Annalise and I’m low key kinda worried about what happened to her because I’ve never had her
when u reached Annika, i lowkey teared up cuz I had such an attachment to that doll and the wand of light. I used to bring the wand of light with me EVERYWHERE 😂😂😂 this whole video is so nostalgic, i love how creative they were w the designs and extra features
Thank you for this!! It actually makes sense how the older barbie dolls are way high up in the list, the new ones are pretty too! But the old ones hits different!
I kinda miss my barbie dolls, like mariposa and the island princess !
*insert me crying becouse i love the alexa doll and i1m sad it was placed last-*
btw just a suggestion, you should do a ranking of all the winx club movies, or all the winx club girls (though i would prefer a movie ranking of winx :D)
who else agrees with me?
This video was so great! The Swan Lake dress was my favorite growing up, I always used it for fancy balls and parties no matter what I was playing with my barbies. The Nutcracker doll's articulation is fantastic! I loved having a doll that was articulated at the ankles, it came in so handy. But nothing is more iconic to me than the Princess and The Pauper dolls. The fact that they sang together, ugh, just the best! My best friend and I both had them and we loved making our dolls sing with each other, so sweet. It was also fun watching this video because I saw dolls that I had as a kid, but also ones that she had. We played Barbies together so so often and this video brought back so many fond memories for me. Thank you💜
I remember the Christmas my parents got me Clara the nutcracker and Marzipan with her carriage and those were the only Christmas presents I played with that year. I treasured those dolls for YEARS unfortunately my Barbie collection was destroyed in a flood. Seeing you treasure my favorite doll and love and appreciate her as much as I do has literally brought tears to my eyes. Thanks so so so much for this nostalgia trip Cait!
thank you so much for this, brings back so many memories that I just wanna be a kid again to play and enjoy these dolls.
