Why?
Barbie movies were my childhood and I like to keep tabs on the new ones. I like to see what kind of fever dream I get to watch so here we are.
What in the world?
Barbie and Barbie are both selected by a magic pearl to see if they are the keeper of power for the mermaids.
Personal thoughts
I think this movie was made for money. Hold your gasps I know it's shocking. It barely registered to an hour long which makes me come to that conclusion. Now the movie itself is a completely different story. It is solely a PSA. I swear when the evil shadow was revealed I about lost my mind. I won't spoil it for you but I think you can guess what it was. Also, this is an unofficial sequel to Dolphin Magic I think but nothing from that movie was canon except for maybe the villain character. Other than that it just wasn't canon to the original at all. What happened to my colorful dolphins? Are they all happily married or something? I have no idea.
Score
I have to give this movie a 4 out of 10. The songs were horrendous and of course it was a musical so I was banking on them being pretty good but apparently I was wrong. The one small mermaid couldn't keep a consistent accent the whole movie. That was frustrating but I mean that's ok. Also they all ascended. That sounds weird but you have to trust me. I mean they also got powers but they aren't always mermaids. I mean the movie did end with them being mermaids so maybe that's what they are permanently now. I don't know but they could do a lot more good underwater than above. Because they have powers of course. I'm sure their education at an art school would help humanity just as much as elemental mermaid power. Oh well what do I know.
Watch what you love,
Your fellow film watcher
