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.
