There is something to be said about the strangely cartoonish design of Gothel, however. Rapunzel was obviously the star of the show (after all she is the doll they’re trying to sell), but the Kellys (the little girls) also looked nice and no one really looked bad. The scenery isn’t great, it looks more like an old video game than anything else, and the color palate didn’t work for me (Green, pink, and purple?), but the characters are nicely designed and the costumes were accurate-ish to the time period. The Animation: Overall, a step up! While it’s still obvious that CG animated feature films had only been around for 8 years at this point, the animation isn’t horrible.
#Magic fairy tales barbie as rapunzel movie
While it is by no means perfect, or even close to the best Barbie movie put there, it is refreshing to see that instead of abandoning this project after the lack of success that was their debut film, Mattel instead stepped up their game and showed us that these films are worth caring about. The creators put significantly more effort into this production than their previous one and it shows. Barbie as Rapunzel is a story of children finding self worth and independence, and thereby growing into confident, competent, adults. My Initial Thoughts: I’m not sure what happened between the making of Barbie in the Nutcracker and this, but goddamn am I glad it did.
