Barbie's First Movie Changed Me

Barbie in the Nutcracker was Barbie's very first movie. It began a bizarre legacy of crunchy computer-animated Barbie movies that currently total 42 entries, but it is, in many ways, the most iconic. Come with me on this journey of exploration through impeccable girl's cinema.

Featuring:
- Nutcracker fun 🥜
- sticking it to the man ✌️
- MANY CGI ballet sequences 🩰
- Tim Curry evil mouse 🐁
- woodphobia 🪵🚫
