the movies seriously aren’t too bad for what they are, I’ll give ya that.

My daughters grew to adulthood without any Barbie. They never seemed to miss it.

Oy vey. Talk about silliness.

Well....we have the impression that one of the incarnations is an Episcopalian. Whether that’s a devout Christian is something a number of people would seriously dispute.

I agree with you about the Barbie movies. They are well done, for the genre, and have good values. “Unselfishness” can’t be pushed too hard to little girls! “Look how considerate Barbie is!” I would say to my daughters. “Look how she’s helping the younger children!”

[TradicalRC]

My four daughters love the Barbie movies.

[Dajjal]

I thought that Barbie had converted to Islam.

My girls love Barbie and love the movies, too. She is the girl who can be anything, and she always plays the heroine in their little imaginary games.

There have been times when a friend has given them an awful Bratz doll for a present and we have made a pact that she is traded in for a Barbie princess.

You’re right, Barbie is one of the good guys. She may have an unattainable figure, but she has been every career dream a girl could ever have. And, why can’t a girl look good while flying to the moon or arguing in front of the Supreme Court?
