Barbie preview

I can't remember if I've ever posted a preview of this video, and it's not near release or anything but I did some editing of the footage I already had recorded while I had laryngitis

So I decided to post this preview up for all tiers, merry christmas! Thank you for supporting me in 2021

Barbie preview

Comments

I forgot this was only a preview 😭

Some day....

Uliyana Golub

If and when this video finally comes out, I will cry and name my third born son Jenny

Montana Bricklre

pleasee i need the full video so bad

mia smith

what happened to the Barbie video 💔

bug

Did the 2023 Barbie movie kill this video? I'm dying to hear Jenny's thoughts on that movie as I feel like I did not get it at all. Like... was it funny? Was it social commentary? I didn't like it enough to watch it a second time so maybe it made a statement that I missed. Why was it so popular...?

Spliffy

Princess and the Pauper still slaps- the songs are bangers and the plot is both complicated enough to move at a decent clip but also formatted perfectly to add in new twists when you recreate it with your dolls. Reenact the reveals, but also throw in a "oh noooo the carriage drove into a river and I'm hanging off a cliff!!!" where there wasn't one before. I rewatched the Barbie movies I grew up with and most of them are boring as an adult since (for example) the ballet ones often have like 5 minute uninterrupted dance scenes. Princess and the Pauper has characters who constantly scheme and counter-scheme and react to the various twists in the road, sometimes accidentally sabotaging their allies because they don't know what they're planning.

Magistrissa

The first few movies you showed were my FAVORITES when I was a kid lol

Buttered Croissant

I own every single Barbie movie made before 2016 is that a normal amount?

Charles Burnham

To think she started this journey roughly 3 years ago and still not ready for release. I expect every jenny video be longer than the last.

Robert Romero Jr

So excited to see this whole video. One of my friends is a huge barbie movie fan but I refuse to watch them

Rose

Swan Lake as the ballet is very tragic. To adapt it for children’s consumption would castrate the ethos of ballet: how love can be easily deceived upon and destructive to the self. That’s why when the Barbie returned to its root of adapting Ballets with Barbie and the Pink Shoes in 2013 there was a meta aspect to Barbie’s role as a transmigator(?) into these ballet stories such as Giselle. This allows Barbie to dance the part and acknowledge the original story without succumbing to the fate of the heroines.

Amelie Cabergas

TED CANT DO IT LIKE YOU DO IT I BELIEVE IN YOU

Anthony Galaviz

Oh my god I care about this so much I own a regular amount of barbie dvds

Andrea

sigh

Ade Renée

This is my Roman Empire. I hope she returns to it!

Nel Meyrink

i hope the video is 100 years long

anna

This video was truly ahead of the time... release the barbie cut

degree

God I hope we still get this one day 🙏

Alanna Macree

Pleeeaaaaasseeeeee Release the Jenny Cut. No one in my life understands barbie movies. 😂

Tori Rittenger

I was too old for these but my younger sisters watched the swan lake movie a lot and now they love to go back and watch it just to laugh at how bad it is. That horrible laughing sound the bad guy's daughter makes haunts me.

Celozon

This video is going to be my endgame

Brooklyn Elise

its nearly here, the release date of Barbie: The Movie... cue the release of Jenny's 17 hour break down of all the Christopher Nolan movies!

Gareth Eade

WAIT what betrayal??? please dont tell me she scrapped the video!!!

pegsies

the betrayal was real even though i had a feeling it was coming

Baylie Trout

Barbie in the Nutcracker vhs caught fire when we watched it. my dad had to take the vhs player out in the yard and spray it with the hose

MaxMin

Im so excited for this video to come out one day

FlorenceOfFlowers

Someday, this enchanted video will become the repeat-soundtrack to hours and hours and hours of grading and cleaning. It will be a glorious day and the beginning of a new era of peace, joy, tranquility, and tidiness, brought on by Barbie and Jenny.

Hannah Vaughn

idk if im just sleep deprived or if this is truly the most wonderful preview of a video, but i cackled, i gasped, i had flashbacks. and i felt betrayed by the swan lake review, but i either watched it dubbed in my country, or i never realized the horrifying voice acting, but that entire soundtrack is burned forever in my brain, i wanted to be skunk girl or forrest queen so bad, even the raven daughter was iconic to me. cant wait to see her review the pegasus barbie one!! my name is close enough to pegasus that my non english speaking brain was amazed as a child, and i watched it at least once a week. if this video gets discontinued, i will cry.

pegsies

I love it.

Gabryel Sohlé

One day, there's gonna be a 17 hour version of this in the main channel.

WhatAlsaid!

I want it so badly! Can't wait!

Kelly Kenoyer

I come back to watch this at least once a month. I can't wait for the full 5 hour video

Momo

Thanks so much !

roddie jimmieson

There was talk of this buried in the comments under the most recent ramble. "On pause but not dead" is the long and the short of it 👍

Shred Cadmium

Whatever happened to this vid? Is it going to be posted?

roddie jimmieson

I dont actually like newt scamander by the way please dont block me It was the only thing I could think of.. can someone give me suggestions

MarblePie

I laughed so much at the end

MarblePie

I'm so excited to see the full video I miss you on youtube Jenny <3

notsydne

So Good! Can't wait to see the rest!

Nathan Jefferis

I'm so relieved you put Rapunzel in the amazing tier because i watched it a lot as a kid and therefore i have a lot of nostalgia and love attached to it :D I remember i would just walk around my house pretending i was her holding a candle, carrying a tray, making tea on a roaring fire etc... The sound of her footsteps on the stone floor in that basement have been echoing in my head for years... and i say that in a loving way :D I am just now realizing that this movie might be part of the reason why i love that cold concrete smell of basements so much.. maybe on some primal level it makes me feel like Barbie As Rapunzel... oh the whimsy of it all

Grethen S.

I remember a 1997 Barbie Rapunzel computer game that came out a few years earlier that ALSO gave Rapunzel way more plot than the original fairy tale has-- but a *completely different* plot from the movie they eventually did. Guess the folks at Mattel really had a thing for Rapunzel rewrites in the late 90's / early 00's...

Cailin Kless

I was the wrong age demographic for it but have a little sister who was squarely in the target when it came out, and recall being more than pleasantly surprised with that one. I distinctly remember thinking it was going to be odious and then being like... actually that's a pretty legit animated musical. My sister would always watch one movie on repeat for like three months, and this was definitely one of the better obsessions.

Cailin Kless

That was fantabulous! I think it was a good move going for a tier list rather than a straight ranking. A numbered list that long would get pretty unwieldy. Also, moving chronologically we can see how/if the Barbie movies evolve over time. I'm looking forward to the rest of this! Never thought I'd say that about Barbie related content lol.

Ben Lyons

I’m so excited for the rest of this! I still remember my harmonizing princess and the pauper dolls fondly. I used to be obsessed with that movie.

LittleBirdyStitcher

The preview left me cautiously optimistic for the rest of the list. Feeling very vindicated on my opinion on Swan Lake.

Maria

BRING IT!

Papa Q. Bear

Damn I'm so excited for the full version

Chelsea Counsell

This is going to be AMAZING

Hannah

omg are you going to talk about the Barbie EPCOT Center vhs?

Raven Wolfe

it truly is a travesty that "give him to me ugh" was not mentioned in regard to 'Barbie as Rapunzel'

Gomgom Jimboi

SO looking forward to this I used to "workout" with the Barbie Dance VHS as a kid all the time

Emily Mortimer

oh my god, i had the rapunzel game as a kid too!! i spent so much time on it.

Lauryn Goates

hope you touch on how frozen is way too similar to magic of the pegasus, I've always been bitter about that lol

Liam MacAloney

Wow, VIVID memories of the Barbie and the Rockers line of dolls and the commercial that aired constantly on TV for them. I think (or maybe this was the Jem dolls) that the commercial made it seemed like the dolls danced by themselves, so I was disappointed when I got one as a gift and discovered that you had to move the doll yourself.

Lindsay Nelson

Same. I checked out that VHS from the Piggly Wiggly like twice a week. Do you also remember the scene in the ice cream shop with the banana split vividly?

Alexa Adams-Robertson

The first two Barbies were both on one single vhs. I watched them REPEATEDLY. I honestly know them word for word.

Elle

This is great, and i love this format! looking forward to the rest of this series, keep up the good work amd happy new year

Coulter Leek

Out of this World achieving the Amazing tier was an amazing Christmas surprise, thank you

Michelle Irene Hanson

hahaha, good ending point.

Lovely

Merry Christmas! It's really fun so far -- looking forward to it going up! :D

Corynn

I need it

Katie

This was great! I can’t wait to see the full video!

Sarah Jesness

This was hilarious, and really digs up memories from the childhood. Have to get my sis into Patreon to reminisce with me!

Cam Adams

Looking forward to the rest of this. Still blows my mind when you seamlessly shift voices like that. It also makes me wonder about character voice over work vs. celebrity voice over work. Unless I had already heard you do a specific character, I could not pick a voice you did for a new character (yet, I guess). While a lot of roles in animations prefer that celebrities use *their own* voice as recognizable and proof of billing.

Dundough Breadbox

I'm so excited for this video. I have a lot of nostalgia for these movies but haven't revisited them for a long time. Also Barbie-chic is a good look for you tbh

Quinn W.

"Days of World Peace [0][0][1]" (Like a workplace safety sign that they have to keep resetting because people keep starting dumb little wars.)

Stephen Gillie

thank you, Jenny! the last few weeks I’ve turned a number of my friends into your fans and it’s so satisfying to quote you with them. It’s been a very bearable holiday season for me this year, and i’d like to give you some of the credit! I hope you can relax these days and strengthen your voice!

Iva Marinova

Wow not even a minute in and I've been reminded of how much I wanted that plush cat. I wanted it so bad

Morgan Waas

wow that rabbit sure does look like Steve Buscemi

Becca H

Can't wait! I still get kind of sad/bitter when I think about how my mom donated all my (many) boxes of Barbie merch when I was away at college, without telling me. :/

Liz Fox

My sister and I watch Barbie in The Nutcracker every Christmas if we can manage. I find the dated CGI charming.

NevadaNate

This is exactly what I thought

Conor

This was a great preview! I’m stoked to see the rest 😊

RiteofWriters

If you're surprised that a concert could achieve world peace you must not have ever seen Macross. (And why would you, it's 1000 years old.)

Patrick

I could instantly tell that you've watched enough of these you've got Barbie's voice down PAT. I've also seen almost every piece of Barbie media ever made, so kudos!

Vieve DeJoy

I'm definitely gonna watch this like 10 times by the time the whole video comes out 😌

Francesca White

Merry Christmas! I'm excited for this one. That tiara is amazing

Jamie

oh my god the kelly dolls dancing

Noah Motter

I have scattered memories of the Barbie movies because some childhood family friends had a bunch of them. I remember finding Barbie as Rapunzel compelling but strongly disliking almost all the others. To this day I’m still traumatised by “zocolate zip zookies” (if you know, you know)

George Dodd

Yes! This has been one of my most anticipated videos! Can't wait!

Emily

I think I'm going to watch all the barbie movies I can stand before I watch this one!! I have watched a total of 22 of them mostly when i was like 13 and got into doll collecting and for the first time ever might be genuinely upset with one of your takes.

Narissa de Bruin

you look so pretty! your eye makeup is gorgg. can't wait for the full vid <3

Reen

I was 12 in 2001 when the modern Barbie movies started coming out, so being out of the target age range I never saw any of them. Despite the lack of nostalgia I'm super excited for the full video. Thanks for releasing the preview for all tiers! Great Christmas present. <3

humority

I LOVE Gothel from Rapunzel for 3 reasons: 1. She’s voiced by Anjelica Huston 2. It’s the only version I can think of where the relationship between her and Rapunzel is one of pure indentured servitude as opposed to simple kidnapping and somewhat fair trading in guise of a mother-daughter relationship. 3. Last, but certainly not least, she almost starts a full out war between two kingdoms simply because she’s a woman scorned.

Adam Leibowitz

The wig and eyelash wings gave me Taylor Swift vibes 👀

Luis

can't wait to see you ruthlessly roast the completely intolerable elephant Tika from Island Princess.

luella

So the Rapunzel movie had a crossover with Spyro huh

Jayna Bates

I shouldn’t have watched this, now I’m so desperate for more!!

Holly H.

“today is the first day of world peace” i’m cackling

olivia brennan

Barbie and the Rockers was literally my jam for a good chunk of my childhood.

Rachel Cook

Super excited for this video, love this start! The tier list is really fitting as well :)

Finnegan Rasmussen

This was great, thank you! Barbie movies aren’t something I thought I’d be interested in, but you hooked me anyway, and now I'm eager for the full-length version. :)

Dee Crosier

Can’t wait to watch the full version :D don’t work so hard if you’re sick though. Take care of yourself first. ✨✨✨

Torie Gatti

My sisters and I were absolutely OBSESSED with Barbie movies as a kid. Not as interested in the toys though haha

Casey Kerins

This is incredible. Can’t wait for the full video! It looks like it’ll be your best yet! ^_^

ProkoCat

I can’t wait for more

Chris Carter II

I had those 80’s movies on a vhs tape when I was a child, I feel so vindicated by this because I thought I had hallucinated owning them! The Danish version had both on the same tape presented as one movie called Barbie & the Rockstars

Sandra Lauridsen

Omg I watched the ballet movies all the time as a kid, and since I'm Russian they had dubbing, so I didn't know the horrifying children characters had those accents 🥴 that feels almost racist somehow

Anna V

I love your outfit! You look so pretty! 😍

LadyLotte

ARAGOG IS WEARING A TIARA! I didn’t notice til the last 30 seconds and I screamed. Best Easter egg! Now wondering how a giant spider would wear a princess dress.

AnthonyAitch

An unexpected preview video! 'Tis a Christmas Miracle! A concert for world peace, in space. I wouldn't have guessed that would make up the plot of a Barbie movie lol.

Rushka Unverricht

Thanks Jenny, hyped to see the rest :D

Icarus

I am old, and I still have both my Barbie and Ken (from Barbie & the Rockers) and Barbie (from Barbie and the Sensations). LOL. I got them down from the attic so that my niece can play with them. And poor Ken's silver pants melted onto his legs. It was tragic! LOL, (Please pardon the typos. Again, I am old, and I have been up late. LOL. )

Silver Wings

„As someone who is outside of the demographic for Barbie toys“ (buys a lot of toys as probs for the video)

Anne Plein

Was not prepared for the intensity of this video's costume. Well done.

Charlie Hills

Like I remember getting the rapunzel Barbie and it had a braided ponytail that would grow when you pulled on it and I would sit and think about the logistics of that as a kid

Lily Mayfield

So many dormant memories unlocked with this one lol

Lily Mayfield

Hmmmm interesting the 3 he worked on are all ranked very similarly in my list..........

Jenny Nicholson

My sister bought that plush last year lol

Jenny Nicholson

ohh i'm so excited for this video, thanks a lot Jenny!

arlysm

Me at 5:47: "How is he playing a keyboard solo on his guitar!?" Also... so Barbie and the Rockers is Jem and the Holograms doing Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure. Okay. Fair. Glad I'm not the only one who immediately pegged it as a Jem and the Holograms knock-off. This video is going to be amazing. Thanks for giving us a sample, and merry Christmas right back!

Dan Gibbins

You really took one for the team here. These look dystopian.

Iberian Princess

This inspired me to break out the old DVDs and rewatch! I adored Nutcracker, Rapunzel, P+P, Fairytopia, and Swan Lake as a kid

Lindsey Keefer

Okay one, Barbie Nutcracker has my whole heart, and two, that Rapunzel game was THE BEST.

Jodi Hoffman

Especially looking forward to your take on MYSCENE GOES HOLLYWOOD. There are a couple of celebrity cameos and they have NOT aged well.

Ham

I was thinking the EXACT same thing. I wonder if the animators are the same?

Rose Stachowicz

Thanks!!!!!

Olivia Louise

What a great start! Thank you for sharing!

Maura Monahan

I am so invested in this already. Lol. Merry Christmas!

Nikki

wow barbie and the rockers sounds and looks suspiciously similar to the Daft Punk movie, Interstella 5555

Skikes

Jenny's Barbie voice is legit

Jerry Nicholson

Fun Fact- Robert Mckee, the person who wrote one of the most influencing screenwriting teaching books in the world that like influenced Pixar and Rian Johnson was actually a SCRIPT CONSULTANT FOR THE BARBIE OF SWAN LAKE MOVIE. EDIT: Just looked through his IMDB page, I swear I spotted his name in the swan lake credits but it doesn't appear on his IMDb credits. HOWEVER, there are 3 OTHER BARBIE MOVIES where he's credited as a story consultant lol: https://m.imdb.com/name/nm0571210/filmotype/miscellaneous?ref_=m_nmfm_2

Yoav Fine

I didn’t want that to end hahah

Conor

Props to Jenny for continually putting those sleeves back on her shoulders even though they clearly did not want to stay there.

Isaac Lawton

in a good way. the way other people were about the Joker is the way I am about this video

Mae

jenny this is my Joker

Mae

The delivery of “Freak show horse” absolutely killed me

Danielle Sherman

the girl's face in the thumbnail is my face seeing this in my email

Alida H

This is a great early present, thank you! 😄

Theresa

Thank u queen

Caroline Sedberry

so hype!! thanks jenny <3

shai

I’m so excited for this one! It’s gonna be rad!

Welshy

Do you have highlight on your nose? I'm kind of obsessed with how shiny your nose is in this.

Shiny Skunk

It took me 8 minutes to realize that the bright sparkle coming from your face was literally white makeup on the tip of your nose. You're really outdoing yourself with the costumes on the crazy-long videos. As usual, I've never watched a Barbie movie and can't wait to see the final tier list!

Richard Reeves

This is gonna be epic

Conor

Merry Christmas, Jenny! It would be so cool if you could make a similar tier list for Mattel’s Monster High movies. But also I understand that you’re not very nostalgic for them, so maybe not

dolly

i would give anything for a jenny video on the swan princess cinematic universe...

Rafi

This is so nostalgic for me right off the bat. I still have that Serafina plush/animatronic(?) at my Nana's house; she has it sitting on the guest bed lol

Veronica Williams

Barbie as Rapunzel used to be my jam as a kid, glad you liked, maybe I shoud revisit it

Gasper Markovic

YES, THE PET RANKING. I cannot wait!!!!

Orissa Meyrink

For Nutcracker adaptations, Care Bears Nutcracker Suite is one to keep an eye out for... The bears get turned into firewood and nearly set on fire by an evil wizard. And they defeat giant rats with their care bear stare. Scared the absolute pants off of me as a tiny child.

run_away

Jenny I am SO SO excited for this video. Also thank you for loving rapunzel and hating nutcracker. GOOD

Nel Meyrink

I was so worried it wasn't coming out 😭❤️ Thank you Jenny!!!!!

Ivy Cass

I wanted to eat the CGI bread from Swan Princess when I was a kid, it looked so good

Winona Honey

Some of those movies looked amazing lol can't wait for the rest of the list.

Luis

this is going to be my joker I can’t fucking wait

Abby Stewart

I read somewhere in the 80s, you couldn't advertise a toy during it's own cartoon, which hurt Jem & the Holograms because Mattel advertised Barbie & the Rockers toys during Jem and Hasbro couldn't do the same to Barbie. (Incidentally Jem ALSO went back in time to various periods, including attending Woodstock.) Thanks for the sneak peek, looks great! I thought I hadn't seen any of these ones but then I had a flashback to the Swan Princess one as soon as I saw those horrible animal-children.

Monica McFadden

I love Aragog's outfit

Simon Nichols

omg I’ve totally seen the rapunzel one; that dragon was hiding in the recesses of my memory. weird! I don’t consider myself a barbie kid but I probably consumed a lot of barbie content when i was little….

Fox

I enjoyed this a lot. Merry Christmas!

Jordan

Merry Christmas Jenny! What a treat, thank you 🙂

Emily in Prague

Best Christmas ever! Also we stand Barbie rapunzel

Valentina Friedrich

Oh gosh that Barbie & the nutcracker scene brought back so much nostalgia

Liz Marie

Jenny in a tiara? Oh yes. I am *here* for it!

Carl Sage

Yay! Thank you!

Sara Lyons

Thank you!

Dundough Breadbox

i fully screamed

Abigail Elizabeth

Merry Christmas! Thanks for doing what you do. So much entertainment.

Iberian Princess

small giant spiders stay winning today

Katie Kraynak
