Movie Review: Barbie Fairytopia Mermaidia

I know I did one of these yesterday, but I'm on my period and Barbie movies make me feel better.

This one is a direct sequel to the first Fairytopia movie made the year before, with a lot of the same cast. Bonus tho!  One of the side characters is voiced by Andrea Libman who also voices Pinkie Pie in My Little Pony, so there's that.  She sounded a lot like Pinkie Pie too!  But she's not a main character, so it's not that important.

This time Prince Nalu is in trouble.  Why is this Barbie's, I mean, Elina's problem?  Shouldn't Mermaidia have their own protective forces trying to rescue him?  But then it wouldn't be a Barbie movie.

The new character is Nori, she's a blue haired mermaid, and kind of a crab.  If she wasn't in a fighting mood over Nalu, I'd say this would be a cute femslash ship.

At least Nalu's doing a good job sending the evil henchmen on a wild goose chase, because it's taking Elina and Nori a while to get their shit together.

Why does Laverna still exist anyways?  I thought she exploded into confetti at the end of the first Fairytopia movie...

Maybe Dandelion is Elina's girlfriend instead...  Am I supposed to like Bibble?  Because I still don't like Bibble yet. Oh well, at least I've finally seen this movie. 

Movie Review: Barbie and the Magic of Pegasus

It's been a few weeks, but I'm back on my Barbie movie grind.  This one is The Magic of Pegasus.  Not based on any story I'm aware of, but they featured some musical bits from Beethoven to give it a classical feel.  No big name actors for the villain anymore.  No big name actors to speak of, all just regular voice actors.  Oh well.

It opens with some nice figure skating.  Looks like they mocapped a figure skater for this, cool cool.  The villain is some magic asshole named Wenlock with a magic wand.  Well, they got the whole thing rolling in the first 20 minutes.  The pegasus's name is Brietta.  If Annika is 16, then Brietta is 32.  And Wenlock is old... and chasing after teenagers, gross.

Wow, Ken, I mean Aiden gets to be sassy this time!  Lucky him.  Barbie, I mean Annika, gets to be quite sassy too.  Lots of sass in this movie.  Poor Brietta has to be a mount this whole time.  Oh, Aiden's a blacksmith, not a prince.  Neat.  

Apparently this movie had some 3D special effects, but I can't see them now, don't have a 3D TV.  

Oh yay!  More figure skating.   Oh, this time it's speed skating.  Oh man, that little polar bear is trouble.

Okay, that was a cute movie!  Lots of delicious karma and it ends with more figure skating.  I always forget the last 5 minutes of the movie are the credits.  WAIT!  A special surprise at the end of the film!  Delightful.  I won't spoil it.  Yeah, that was nice, and I needed nice today, so good.

Hello Kitty Island Adventure: Progress Report and DLC Announcement

I've been playing HKIA since it's PC launch in March, and I'm still having fun.  I'm not as up to date on all the quests as some people, but I have most of the login rewards, and I'm getting the hang of things.

I still need to figure out how gardening works, because my Merry Meadow is an overgrown mess.  It was desolate for the first month, then I gave a Nul a water sprinkler hat, now it's completely full of random flowers I don't know what to do with.
