Watched this with little Mia.

Magical and fairytale-like, Barbie is beautiful, and the kitten is adorable. That's all that matters!
Valentina
Watched it when I was a kid. Just marking it as seen. Gotta give it to the Americans, they already had a children's movie with such a strong sense of female empowerment way back in '08.

Indeed, this is the most French-romantic and feminist Barbie as a musketeer! As a child, I always shared common traits with Barbie characters: inexhaustible energy, unwavering belief in my dreams, and fearlessly advocating for my ideals and plans, anytime and anywhere. Looking back now, I realize I already possess so many valuable qualities! Just like Corinne embarking on her journey to Paris at the story's beginning, her mother says during her send-off, "You already make me proud." The narrative of female musketeers saving the prince might seem cliché now, but one cannot deny the early classic script's ingenuity: seamless, interlocked, and never falling into the familiar stereotypical Barbie...

"Barbie saving the prince – that's the story and the ending I want to see! Her father's letter of recommendation proves useless, but her mother, who raised her single-handedly and runs the farm, respects her daughter's choices. The girls' rallying cry, their transformation spell, "All for one, and one for all," represents the natural order of dealing with people and nature, no longer about beauty and love. Girls are not just maids cleaning the house; girls are undefined. Even as female swashbucklers, they can be fashionable. Her sisters share her values and worldview, instead of competing for a single, useless male. The weak prince cannot offer the valiant Barbie the love she desires, so she can boldly..."
