Melanie & Melvin travel back to the wonderful world of 2004 and summarize Barbie as The Princess and the Pauper. While it isn't the first Barbie-animated film, it is the first Barbie-animated musical! From it's bouncing musical numbers to its surprisingly complicated plot, the gang have fun explaining this childhood gem!

Topics:

  • (PATREON EXCLUSIVE) 32-minutes discussing tabletop boardgames (important!) and then whether or not arriving-late or leaving-early is destroying the modern-day church (less important!) because of that viral mega-church pastor blaming his congregation for what may, actually, be his problem, *shrugs*. (PATREON EXCLUSIVE)
  • Melvin is taking notes this time and the second Barbie and The Princess and the Pauper started he sighed and realized; he has a lot of notes to take.
  • As each song is introduced, Melvin will first explain what happens in the song, then the two will discuss whether they liked the song or not.
  • From the start, Barbie and The Princess and the Pauper asserts a maturity in how it trusts people (specifically kids) to keep up with the oddly complicated material within the film, including the tension between personal interests and cultural responsibility.
  • Although the animation is like that of an early Resident Evil pre-rendered cutscene, it also looks like toy-dolls so we both feel it gets a pass.
  • Melanie, "It's a very cute film. There were just several things I just found to be very unmemorable."
  • Erika's song to her cat Wolfie is just perfect.
  • The credits has bloopers!
