Her: do you play? Him: No. Not really. Also him: plays six instruments on his flute.

Was anyone else disturbed by the fact that they literally did not sleep at all for a full three days because they danced all night... edit: how did this get so many likes?! lol this movie is my childhood

Lowkey think this movie actually had one of the most effective villains though. She actually got the title of Queen and had the King on his death bed and everything. Meanwhile Preminger in Princess and the Pauper had to switch up his plan like 3 times and still couldn't get married.

Not gonna lie, this was my movie growing up 😭😭😭

Aaron: " This movie is suck at dancing" All the dances are done by real-life ballet dancers and than later animated.

Barbie: counts to 12 Jo: when your girl knows the alphabet

This movie is genius from a marketing perspective cause you’ve got 12 dolls to sell plus the prince doll.

'Why didn't mine work?' *you're adopted*

your sponsor is so fitting to the barbie theme lmao

Dude whenever they do Barbie movies all I can think about is that one time Aaron thought a Pegasus was hot

Actually hold on, the thing with Lacey freaking out about dropping the leaves was probably a stress and anxiety response. I've seen it before, and I've also experienced it myself. It may have seemed like she overreacted over nothing, but clearly the Rowena thing had her in more stress than a child should ever be.

is no one gonna talk about that BANGER metal improv or wHAT

“and lacey” *floor doesn’t light up immediately* *“lacey’s adopted”*

I'm the only one who has always wondered why they share a room with 12 people when they live in a palace with dozens of rooms?

I like how Jo and Aaron both agreed that violence was the answer, then all the princesses started actually being violent, tripping people and hitting them with croquet balls, damning their cousins to eternal dancing, etc.

"The Karen of Barbie" That made me laugh so much

I can't believe it took me so long to realize the significance of Rowena changing the girls' outfits. At the start of the film, the sisters wear distinctly-colored dresses to represent that they all have unique personalities. Red-dressed Blair rides horses, Dark blue-dressed Courtney reads books, green-dressed Delia and orange-dressed Edeline play sports, etc. But when Rowena forces them all to wear the same bland grey dress, it shows how little she cares about getting to know any of them. They're all one unit to her; one road block that stops her from seizing the throne. This is further shown by Rowena refusing to learn any of their names aside from Genevieve's, since she quickly assumes the role of the outspoken "rebel" princess. So when the magic diamond flowers dress the girls up in all of their former attire, it represents how vital the pavilion becomes in allowing the princesses to be their true selves, free of any judgment or outside criticism. (Hence the movie's sudden pause during the second pavilion dance. It takes a moment to show us how free and relaxed they're feeling through Edeline & Fallon's jokes about Rowena). 🌈

"Christmas came early..... And so did I" I can't breathe. I'm 10 seconds in

“Karen of Barbie” is the perfect description of Duchess Rowena EDIT: Wait remember the fairy tale “The Red Shoes”? It’s about a woman who’s cursed to dance forever. What’s her name? KAREN.

Only just realising the princesses were named alphabetically, from A-L

Aaron and Jo: “Man, they’re not even color coordinated 🙄” Also Aaron and Jo when there’s color coordination: “Yo what is this, a cult?”

Me watching the ad being a girl: I don’t think I have the facilities for that big man

“Damn she can count.” “When your girl knows the alphabet.” It’s not the same thing man lmaaaaoooo

so nobody talking about him singing ... metal 😩

Nostalgia hits different when you forget about that theme song for 10 years and then hear it again

These sketches are getting better and better. As a woman I now want to get Manscape for myself.

This used to be one of my favourite movies. Also, I was always a bit disturbed by how the villains were cursed to dance forever at the end. They would die of exhaustion (and in a lot of pain) eventually. The thought would scare me😂.

i lost my shit at “lacey is adopted” 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭💀

I can't believe you skipped the best part of the movie: when they float dance back to the real world 🤘🏼😔

"sometimes in kids' movies... violence is the right answer" honestly, that was the most rational thing I've heard all day.

"Oh no. Not the cat!" *"Is ThAt GaRlFiElD?"*

"don't let that waist go to waste"

I'm still waiting for them to do the OG Barbie movie, Barbie and the Nutcracker...

The OG holy Barbie trinity: The Princess and the Pauper The magic of Pegasus The 12 dancing princesses

Maybe the reason why the king's wife died is because of Lacey's birth.. they got too much children

“You know that’s a white guy in the studio.” Had me dying 🤣

barbie: "1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7" jo: *wHeN yOuR gIrL KnOwS tHe AlPhAbEt* 🥵

Out of all the princesses, I realized as an adult that Genevieve (Barbie) is the only one wearing a dress with two distinct colors (white top, dark pink skirt). Every other sister wears a dress with one color.

in the original tale (which is a common German fairytale I grew up with), the mom was supposed to marry a dark even king who had 12 sons, but since she ran away and married a different prince, the elf dude cursed her to have 12 daughters, one for each son, and danced the mom to death once they were all born. then, once each daughter was old enough to walk on their own, they were forced into the other realm to dance all night with their prince. they end up getting saved by the 4th eldest (Barbie on this version) and the prince who liked her as the basically slaughtered the even princes and their father. there's more that goes into it, little detail like their feet bleeding into the grass and that essentially being a life source for the realm, the youngest daughter having bruises from being drug around by a dude hundreds of years older than her. trust me, the original tale is wayyy darker than the Barbie version

"It's like the Karen of Barbie." You have no idea.

*me a girl sitting through a 3 minute ad about men’s razors* mm yes very interesting

Fun fact: The film's villain, Duchess Rowena, is voiced by Catherine O'Hara. Aka Mrs. McAllister from Home Alone & Sally from Nightmare Before Christmas. 🌹

I feel like all the Barbie movies that are fairy tale retellings are dark because the fairy tales themselves are dark...

Aaron: *sees an orange* Also Aaron: “Is that Garfield”

Yeah remember when they were like “no deaths in Barbie movies”. Ha

"Lacy is adopted." skdaskkddks

No ones talking ablut the fact that Jo's a metal screamer all of a sudden 😭😭😭

Alternate title: two super high white guys review a film made for little girls

y’all i googled it and the parrot is voiced by the whitest dude i’ve ever seen omfg

Genevieve: counting Jo: When your girl knows the alphabet 😂

I love how the royal docto as soon as he heard that the king was sad and that's why his condition got worse was like "oh there's no cure for that lol see ya later"

"LOCK HER UP AND THROW AWAY THE KEY" is the long-awaited sequel to "THE SICKNESS".

DAY 1 OF ASKING AARON AND JO TO WATCH THE TINKER BELL MOVIES

10:04 -“damn she can count” -“when your girl knows the *alphabet* ” EXCUSE ME WHAT, THE ALPHABET?

I loved this as a child and the " *JUST SHOES?* " got me so good

"I wish I had Ben10's watch" NEVER HAVE I RELATED SO MUCH OR BEEN SO ATTRACTED TO THIS MAN 😂

9:47 : Geneviève : father you should call the doctor! The king : yeah good Idea Rowena : 👁️👁️ 👄

That monkey is scarier than the one in Toy Story 3

Quotable quotes from this: "MONKEYYYYY" "wha- the heck" This, this is gold.

Two grown men watching Barbie with no shame. Love it!

The guy who voiced the bird in this movie died on July 23, 2019 in Port Moody in a motorcycle accident caused by a heart attack. Rip-Gabe Khouth

“That’s why it’s called Barbie and the 12 Princesses... because there’s 12 of them.” *Jo’s 200IQ Moments of 2020*

I am a woman but I was genuinely interested in the ball shaving ad at the beginning. Well done?

16:43 In 1518 there was a bout of mass psychogenic illness called the Dancing Plague where people would dance uncontrollably. Yes, some people died because of this. It was a real problem.

As a kid I used to have the music playing mat and shoes from this movie and I got pissed when the portal would never open😂

*starts the video* "we save balls"

Girls: Bet he's cheating on me The boys: Let's watch Barbie

3:46 jo was so impressed by aaron’s flute impression lol

I have a theory that may be false. The Genevieve from this movie is Queen Genevieve from Princess and the Pauper. The similarities are there and if she’s a widow then Derek must have passed already. *exclude the fact that Mattel can’t come up with new names and uses the same character base. This is just a fun thought *

Best moment from this movie: the parrot says something like “the last man who spoke to Derek like that was never heard from again.” And Derek’s like “That’s not true!” “Oh, right, they did find his shoe.”

7:40 "What if shes adopted" I laughed so hard I farted. This is what made me subscribe.

11:24 "no way that's an indian." you're right, it ain't ahsfdjkfdk

Why is no one talking about the fact that they skipped the most iconic and magical scene of everyone starting to fly while dancing 😭😭😭 I was so disappointed when they skipped ahead 😔😔

The bad woman’s dress reminds me of the meme where it’s like “I didn’t steal the TV” and her dress is rectangular 😂

Now they just need “Nutcracker” to finish up the Barbie Ballet Trilogy (maybe Pink Shoes too, for fun)

10:27 my guy really turned into corpse

I'm supposed to be paying attention in my zoom class, instead I chose to lose braincells and I do not regret a single thing.

“When your girl knows the alphabet” Jo... she was counting-

The parrot doesnt even sound legit, its just someone doing a racist impression 😂

i don't know why but the "lock her up and throw away the key" has me on the floor

"Is that Garfield?" Honestly it would add an amazing pet subplot to the story 👌😂😂

Jo talking about dancing to death "that would be a really dark movie" there's already a ballet about that lmao

“damn she can count” “when your girl knows the alphabet”

Yall need to watch Barbie and the three musketeers

It says it was posted 35 seconds ago, feeling very jobless but happy nontheless!

For real, can we talk about how well Jo can actually growl

weirdest thing ever: the king dude said "oh lacy, what would I ever do without you?" I said in hell, and then he said, "in hell" like that's trippy.

11:54 I'm just sayin, this movie wouldve been a lot shorter if Barbie had a glock

What’s so cool is that they animated the dances in this movie off of real dancers

"Lacey's adopted" actually made me laugh out loud 🤣🤣🤣

16:05 so thats how the dancing plauge started

14:34 THAT FACE I CAN'T JSJS

“Dark for no reason” Boy... you don’t even know the half of the actual fairytale Also, I’ll be editing this comment multiple times and there’s nothing you can do about it

If RU-vid doesn't work out, there's always the option of starting a metal band ✨

The fact that I used to watch these Barbie movies...

16:18 So that's how the dancing plague started in the middle ages!!! 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂

"Sometimes in kids movies violence is the answer" I am so glad someone else feels that way cause the way I watch kids movies and shows i used to love and just crave violence was getting concerning...

fun fact: this is from an old story about twelve princesses sneaking out to dance every night and the king found out by looking at their worn out shoes. The king declared that any man who could find out where they’d sneaked off to will be able to marry one of the princesses. If the man could not find out where they’d go after three nights, he would be executed.😉👍 There’s actually been many modifications of this tale- this movie being one of them- ive heard about one where the princesses were cursed to dance with iron shoes by a beast every night while the beast watches to choose his bride or sum like that 😀

12:45 omg if he is that sad just give the poor man antidepressants
