**Barbie as the Princess and the Pauper** singlehandedly solved class inequality!! 

OMG, the horrible animation of the early Barbie movies is so nostalgic honestly. Looking forward to the live action one. Super excited.

I love how peak Martin Short is in this movie. He really took a cheesy animated movie villain and ran with it with Tim Curry/Christopher Lloyd level acting

Sophia literally just did a whole cover of “a girl like you” 👏👏

I will say the reason the Queen didn't "recognise her daughter" was because of her poor eyesight. It's why there was a scene there showing Julian sneakily stealing her glasses

I was obsessed with all of the Barbie movies as a youngster, particularly this one. I knew the entire script off by heart, and could sing "I am a Girl like You" unprompted!

this movie was an absolute featured film for my household, my sister and i "assigned" princesses to each other. (I was blue, she was pink lol) We even learned some of the dance for "i am a girl like you"! This movie is literally so iconic: the dresses, the music, the villain... just Preminger alone dude lmao.

"Kind of a bad queen. Your just gonna marry your advisor who happens to be rich?" The whole reason for the plot was the kingdoms bankruptcy. The kingdom is in danger of collapse and families are losing their homes. In order to protect and help them, Annalise agreed to her mothers request to marry a rich king. So when that daughter's believed to be dead, and her advisor whom she's trusted for years says he's found an unbelievable amount of wealth that will help her people... of course she's gonna say yes. Even if she hates the idea of marrying him. All playing into Premiger's plan of sabotaging the Kingdom's wealth until the royalty get desperate enough to save their people.

The way the poor girl is like "I'm literally a slave lmao" and then they sing a song about how they're exactly the same 💀

princess and the pauper was my fave too, so glad you picked it. By the final time you called someone a pauper, I was crying a bit from laughter. also, I don't know if you realized this but the necklace Seraphina was wearing near the beginning was actually one of the engagement gifts Annelise had received. Kind of savage of her to give it to the cat

The real ones know that Preminger is QUEEN👏👏💅

I like how it's Erica that starts "You're just like me" and Annalise hasitates and only joins in later.

Sorry for the bad English, not my first language Okay, but can we talk about how PRETTY does Sophia sing??? Like, a good vibrato and on the key I'm amazed

I had an Anneliese barbie that sang "I'm Just Like You" when you pushed a button on her back. She still sings the last time I checked, going strong for over 15 years

ngl my mouth was hanging OPEN when you started singing 😭 you have a rlly beautiful voice

The song "Here I am" is such a bop. It always finds a way to pop back into my head.

Your singing voice is very pretty, Sophia. I remember hearing you first sing in the Enchanted video and I was so impressed that you had some real good singing pipes on you. Very easy on the ears!

I thought I didn't remember any of the songs, but when "I Am a Girl Like You" started playing, my inner barbiegirl came out of my chest like a xenomorph and made a mess

I sometimes feel like the only person who knows that Preminger is voiced by comedian Martin Short. This is one of my top five favorite voice acting roles he's done. Also, I really think you should check out Barbie as Rapunzel. That's always been my favorite Barbie movie as a kid, plus Anjelica Hudson is Gothel in that film.

Hands down this is the best of the OG barbie films imo.

As the one of the freak guys who grew up with Barbies (I'm kidding. I'm not ashamed to be a guy who likes Barbies) I grew up with these movies! My personal favorite is Barbie as Rapunzel. The score is BEAUTIFUL, it's got a great evil witch villain AND she's voiced by Anjelica Huston, it's got a great story and it's just so visually stunning. I'm also really excited for the live action Barbie! PLEASE let it live up to the hype! Then again I love Margot Robbie so much that I'll watch anything she's in good or bad.

Princess and the pauper holds an extra special place in my heart because my abuelita from El Salvador gifted me a copy of the movie when it first came out, so for the longest time I knew the lyrics to all the songs in Spanish Also Princess and the Pauper, Swan Lake, Barbie as Rapunzel, Fairytopia: mermaidia, and diamond castle were my absolute favorite Barbie movies while growing up

No, Sophia, there absolutely must be a song about how her cat is acting like a dog. It's the best song of the movie!!

This movie is one of the GOATs of Barbie cinema.🙌🏽

okay i was obsessed an unhealthy amount with barbie movies as a kid THIS IS SO NOSTALGIC TO ME!!

I'm shocked this day hasn't come sooner these are iconic movies 😫💕

This reminded me that I had told myself at one point I need to try to watch the animated Barbie films. Because as a kid, I rejected everything barbie related out of fear of being too "girly". I wanted to be a hardcore "tomboy" who does nothing girly. (I am non-binary with a masculine preference turns out, who'd a thonk, not child me) So this meant that anything feminine I stayed far away from so that I could just be "one of the guys". But now I'm an adult, that recognizes those opinions were and are bs, and I can do whatever the hell I want.

This is hands down a S tier Barbie movie.

You've read The Goose Girl, I love that book! The descriptions and imagery in it are so well done and the characters are so vibrant. Though it's true the coups, animal decapitation, and straight murder are probably too much for Barbie.

Preminger makes this movie so much fun and the songs are a bop. Add the trivia regarding Julian’s voice actor, and I couldn’t ask for more from a Barbie movie.

Princess and the pauper is EVERYONE'S favorite🤣 we all grew up in that era😂😂😂

The reason the queen didn’t recognize that Erica wasn’t her daughter is because Dominic stole her spectacles so she couldn’t see as well

SOPHIA YOU SING SO WELL 😭😭😭😭 BEST PART OF THE WHOLE REACTION seriously i'm in awe. you're a princess.

One thing I just realized earlier this year is when Erica sings “no wedding dress with a thousand stitches to crochet” in the opening number she is talking about Anneliese’s dress. Erica was literally making Anneliese’s wedding dress! 👰🏼‍♀️💕

I actually feel a lot for Anna 😅. If I had to marry and probably have a kid with someone I had never even met, I'd be pretty freaked out, honestly

This one, Diamond Castle, Magic of the Pegasus and 12 Dancing Princesses are definitely my favorites

The melody of "I am a Girl like You" was ingrained in my brain for the longest time now... hearing it in this movie has just reactivated a core-memory of mine... o_O

27:40 I have a headcanon that queen didn't put on a wedding gown because she wasn't happy/eager about to getting married with Preminger (and also still mourning her supposedly dead daugther)

Inspired from The Prince and the Pauper by Mark Twain, this is regarded as one of the best Barbie movies. By the way, if you want to see another interesting adaptation of The Prince and the Pauper, check out the Mickey Mouse version from 1990.

I fell absolutely in love with this movie when i was younger, this one and the one about the magic paintbrush

Being a guy and a teenager when Mattel put out these direct to video Barbie movies to compete with Disney's direct to video sequels. I never watched this. One of my bodybuilding friends on Instagram loved these when she was little and said Barbie was a huge influence in her life and big reason she became a bodybuilder.

Barbie movies 🤝 Tinker Bell movies How we wish society worked.

Lol that wasn’t cat jewelry Annalise gave the gift king Dominic gave to her to Serafina kinda as a statement to show that she doesn’t want to marry him

8:24 I love this scene cause, if you ignore the fact that they're singing and just hear what they're saying is like "I will marry next week to a total stranger..." "at least you're not an indentured servant..." ... "If i want some eggs I ring the bell and the maid comes running in..." Like... BITCH-

"I'm just like you, you're just like me" Erika: 🤨🖕

Now I may be a little biased, but I absolutely ADORE Princess Charm School. The songs are bangers, the characters are great... AND THE STORY REVOLVED AROUND A MURDER! Like 🤨🤨 It's amazing... HIGHLY recommend...

8:29 The VIBRATO?????? Sophia, you have such a pretty voice!!!

The way that I screamed when Sophia brought up the Goose Girl by Shannon hale. That book (the whole Series) had me in a chokehold my entire childhood. I still to this day as a 22 year old recommend that book to people. Shannon hale is one of my favorite authors, even though she is considered a children’s author. A Completely underrated writer who needs to be shown more love.

This was my favorite as a kid to the point where I still have the vhs. It's funny as an adult to see how tone deaf it is when it comes to the difference between a princess and a pauper. But thats not gonna stop me from loving the songs and the ridiculous lines. Especially the fake bloopers

This was one of my favorite movies when I was little, and my sister would watch it with me. We’d each take turns pretending to be Annelise and Erika, it was so much fun. I always love watching your videos. Also, you have such a beautiful voice! I love your sing alongs! 💖❤️

Barbie in the Twelve dancing princesses, barbie as rapunzel, and barbie as the island princess are my top three i think, though i definitely also love the fairytopia movies, the princess and the pauper, swan lake, barbie mariposa, barbie and the diamond castle, and just, like, so many more. Was truly obsessed with many of these movies growing up and many remain to be comfort movies to me now as an adult.

Nothing brightens a day like a Sophia singalong. And the choreographed overlays? 👏👏👏

When i found out julien voices L from death note i was flabbergasted 💀

My favorite barbie movie, I swear I think my favorite part is just when the "villian" screams (Ah) in the ballroom 6:32😂😂😂

I think the reason so many of us love this movie is because it's not completely 'woe is me, my life sucks, I'm running away to follow my d r e a m' and annalise was straight up prepared to marry a stranger to save her people. And that it's people genuinely falling in love, like she's known science boy forever, and Erica didn't jump straight in with her man either. One of the few movies (inc barbie) where it's not love at first sight and married in the next week (like thumbelina holy lord lol). I've also applied the 'to be a princess song' to myself, because damn I shouldn't show what I feel inside because it's often 'is this person dumb' also Julian is pretty lmao

My favorite barbie movie is 12 dancing princess because the kings reactions are priceless 😂 Loved your videos

I think that barbie's princess charm school is a masterpiece for it's time, and is definitely my favorite!

One of the Top 5 Barbie movies , there's not a Barbie fan that doesn't know the "Girl Like You" song!

The villain from this movie is legit my icon

The gasp I let out when I saw this. I now need Sophia to watch them all now.

I LOVED all the Barbie movies, my favorite was always Barbie and The Magic Pegasus, the amount of times i cried looking at the poster till dad bought it for me😭 it was the most magical thing i had ever seen. so much nostalgia🤧💖

Can we talk about the feminist implications of both Anneliese and Erika escaping their imprisonment on their own?

This kind of reminds me of the antics of the Barbie Liberation Organization, swapping the voice boxes of Barbie and GI Joe dolls and then returning them to the store for resell. The 90s was a wild time!

this film is like some of the peak musical theatreness off these films and i think thats why i love it so much

OMG THE NOSTALGIA ❤ i used to watch barbie movies ALL THE TIME and im so happy that the barbie movie is coming out in 5 DAYS??

I think Dominic saw Erika sings to her cat and though '' She has a beautiful voice and is really kind! '' which make him falls for her. That's cute 🥰

Preminger was the most martin short being martin short character ever lol

I honestly prefer this iconic animation to their new animation. It's probably bias since I grew up with the classics like this, swan lake, rapunzel, and fairytopia

Sophia's pipes were so good in this!

the soundtrack is so top tier

Omg I'm so glad you're reacting to this it's my favorite barbie movie🧡🧡🧡🧡

Dude! This movie was my childhood. It was the only Barbie movie my grandmother owned and I watched it several times with my little sister. We still quote so many of the villains lines. X"D

One of my favorite Barbie movies aside from Island princess, 12 dancing princesses and the Diamond castle!

YAY FINALLY A BARBIE MOVIE!

I don’t know why or how to explain it, but the song “cats meow” from this movie always gave me trans validation 👏

I grew up with this movie but in Dutch instead of English. Me and my sister also had the two girls as dolls, the nostalgia 😄

I’ve recently discovered your channel about a month ago and now I’m a fan! I adore your reactions and edits, they’re so fun and charming! Seeing you react to Avatar has been a huge treat, the way you empathize and analyze things can be very on point. Princess and the Pauper has always been one of my favorites in the BCU and I’m glad you reacted to this. Not gonna lie, The Cat’s Meow is one of my top songs in this OST XD. Also, maybe you should do covers at this point with your amazing singing voice! I swear, your vibrato’s perfect how the heck did you do it?

Ive never seen this movie before but I know its my favorite because its the only time I’ve seen another character in children’s media with my name (albeit spelled differently) Annalise

I love Barbie! My household owns all these films on disc and my mom, who is well into her 40's will sit us down to watch them again. The songs are bops and have quite literally landed me roles in musicals! These films are great!

I still can’t get over the fact that Julian (and a lot of other Barbie love interests) is also the same voice actor for L in the dub of death note 😂

That voice actress played the aunt in Barbie in A Christmas Carol (my personal favorite) and does a similar accent and puts her all into it the same way!!!

Random but your singing voice is so soothing!

Hey, I feel like having to marry someone you dont know and might not love is still pretty rough... and in the Princess and the Popstar reboot the princess problem was that she didnt want to write a SPEECH , which is TRULY first world nonsense

objectively, this is the best Barbie movie, but my favorite will always be 12 dancing princesses. honestly I just love all the classic Barbie movies Kelly Sheridan is a QUEEN

I love Goose Girl! That kind of plot in this movie would've slayed tbh

i wasnt super into barbie growing up (always preferred winx, monster high and other franchises like that) but i did have this movie on a cd and i watched it all the time. almost weekly i think. i remember during the songs i would pretend to be singing and mimic what the characters were doing. so nostalgic

The songs and the dresses are so beautiful and amazing. They are so detailed. I mean the dresses, you can see every glitter

This was my favourite Barbie movie growing up. My sister and I had it on vhs and watched it at least once a week. We had the castle and the mini Barbies of Anneliese and Erika. Then imagine my surprise when I went to summer camp and my counsellors were fraternal twins named Anneliese and Erika. I always saw a little bit of myself in both Julian and Dominic but also Wolfie. The nerd, wanting an escape from people’s perceptions of me and always a little different from my peers.

11:55 NOT THE ONE WINGED ANGEL THEME

Oh my gosh, I love Shannon Hale’s goose girl! I feel like no one ever talks about it!

omg sophia u should try watching more barbie movies omg pleasee pleaseeee do the 12 dancing princesses next it my favorite movie i would love watching u react to it cause ur really funny please do that movie next i begg !!... if you do thankkk youuu. oh you could make this into like a series maybbeee ?? omg yass queennnnn....

Dude, I STILL have this DVD and those songs were my family’s JAM way back when. Looooove this movie!

8:30 "Awaaaaaay!" 🎶 You ate and left no crumbs! Bravo 👏

Preminger was the best character in this film. I was rootingbfor him ngl 😂😂 Not as a child but now as an adult I do 😊

This is by far my #1 favorite Barbie movie! I watched this so so so much and memorized the songs and the just like me dance scene. Love Annalise’s and Erika’s dress but Erika’s dress is definitely my favorite I would LOVE to have that dress but one in pink & one in blue. Love the videos! You do an amazing job!

I never watched this movie in English before but I heard that Julian's VA voiced L in Death Note and watching this now, I imagine L every time Julian is talking ^^ Like, he even talks in a similar way than L here xD (since they're both nerdy characters who often explain stuff but soo different apart from that)

I just love it when you sing with the movie!! Your voice is nicely toned and your verbrato is lovely too.

omg!!! the goose girl is my favourite book too!! i've read it so many times and it's so comforting to me! i've never heard anyone else mention it though!

watching this simply for sophias goddess vocals

I saw the notif for this while I was at work so im excited to watch this~

I’m at work rn so I’ll have to come back and watch the vid later today. But I’m happy you posted this! This movie was a big part of my childhood! I sing the songs to myself a lot 😄
