It was a nice change to other iterations of the tale we have seen, and surely had to be exciting for little girls wanting to see themselves represented in a heroic role. Corinne saves him from falling out of his hot air balloon and it’s the stereotypical “love at first sight.”
Because it’s a Barbie movie, there has to be romance, which is where Prince Louis comes in. When she arrives at the castle, she gets into trouble with some of the palace maids, but eventually the four of them discover they all have the same dream of becoming a musketeer. This movie follows Corinne, who dreams of becoming a musketeer like her father. It’s similar to the original tale and keeps the important stuff intact, but revisiting it at an older age reveals how unimportant some plot elements were and how quickly everything is resolved.īarbie and the Three Musketeers is a classic tale that Barbie turned on its head and made about four young women instead of the original men. So, when we see Barbie as Rapunzel versus Disney’s Tangled, for example, it’s difficult not to see how weak the plot of the Barbie version is. It’s hard not to compare movies with the same plot, especially ones that are based on the same tale. It is then revealed that Rapunzel is his daughter and Gothel kidnapped her because of unrequited love on her side. She learns that there are two kingdoms feuding ⏤ the prince’s and another nearby ⏤ but it isn’t until the end that we uncover the reason: the rival king believes Stefan’s father kidnapped his daughter.
When Rapunzel finds a magic hairbrush from her birth parents and it magically transforms into a paintbrush, she is able to leave her tower to meet with Stefan, a prince that she’s fallen in love with. Rapunzel is a girl who loves to paint and was kidnapped from her kingdom by the evil witch Gothel. But a rewatch later in life can be a bit underwhelming. Viewed through the eyes of a child - which is the intended audience - it’s fine. Barbie as Rapunzel takes a classic fairy tale and tries to make it its own, but falls a bit short.
