Our December FOTM, LightningRed!
1. Congratulations on winning FOTM! How does it feel like?
I'm surprised and I feel really great. THANK YOU ALL WHO NOMINATE AND PICK ME!!!
Oh, I'm sure you deserve this. You've been here before any of us and your contributions really help our spot grow!
2. I'm sure we would all pag-ibig to get to know you better. Tell us a bit about yourself!
I pag-ibig old, classical Barbie Princess pelikula (Nutcracker to Diamond Castle) and I don't like new modern-life Barbie movies. I prefer Barbie princesses to Barbie fairies. My paborito activities in fanpop are making picks and quizzes as well as answering them.
I see our interests are quite similar :)
3.When did you start watching the Barbie Movies? What's the first movie that you watched?
I started watching Barbie pelikula since 2001. I watched Barbie in the Nutcracker and Clara's wonderful ballet impressed me. Now I still think her dance is the most beautiful Barbie dance.
Yes, I completely agree with you. Nutcracker is in my opinion one of the best Barbie pelikula and its success allowed the susunod pelikula to be produced.
4.What is your paborito movie and why?
My paborito movie is Barbie of sisne Lake because I pag-ibig Odette's appearance and personality. Odette is not only the most beautiful Barbie character but also kind, helpful, and family-loving. I like that Odette finally discovers that she is braver than she thinks. I also pag-ibig her friendship with Lila. Odette's character stands out in the movie.
Very interesting. I do miss the times when Barbie's character was madami developed...
5.What is your least paborito movie and why?
My least paborito movie is Barbie: A Fairy Secret because the story seems quite silly. mga engkanto in a modern world? Drinking pag-ibig potion? Kidnapping Ken to marry him? And Ken seems like a guy in distress, who has to be rescued sa pamamagitan ng 4 girls! I like strong girls, but don't make the guys seem weak because I like strong men too. Barbie's face in the movie looks awful. Even Raquelle look better. The picture quality is also not so good. The mga kulay look flashy like video games.
I'm sure many of us agree with you. Fairy Secret isn't the best movie ever, if not the worst in my humble opinion.
6.Now, the big question: Kelly Sheridan or Diana Kaarina? Who do you think is better for Barbie and why?
Kelly Sheridan. Her voice is sweet, gentle, and unique. Her voice is different from other Barbie female sidekicks whose voice is high and shrill. Her voice really bumagay Barbie gentle character.
Meanwhile, Diana Kaarina's voice is not special. It is like other female sidekicks' voice.
I agree. Half the fanbase agrees.
7.What are your thoughts on Mattel's 'new direction' for Barbie Movies?
Mattel is just focused on making profit instead of making good-quality movies. Mattel wants to sell lots of mga manika based on the characters of the story, so they make lots of females (outnumbering males) in the movie. I'm a bit sad that Mattel no longer makes classical fairy-tale movie.
8.If you could switch places with one Barbie heroine, who would it be and why?
Anneliese. Like me, she's a bookworm and loves science, and she's a princess, so she can use her position to do good in the kingdom.
Interesting choice. The only bad part about her life is her arranged marriage, but everything worked out in the end, so I suppose nothing will go wrong after that.
9.Your thoughts on Barbie's newest movie, "A Perfect Christmas"?
I think Mattel has improved Blair (PCS) from FF and FS, but in A Perfect pasko the picture quality decreases again. Barbie's face is very different from nakaraan ones. I don't like Kelly's changing name to Chelsea either, and Skipper is too dominant in the movie. I don't like Chelsea in the movie. pasko Carol is a better holiday movie.
I've been wondering why they changed Kelly's name, too. It's like they're trying to eradicate every mention of the name "Kelly".
10.Your predictions and expectations on the 2012 movies?(Barbie in a Mermaid Tale 2, Barbie The Princess and the Popstar)
My prediction: MT2 will be like MT and Princess & Popstar will be modern princess story like PCS. I hope Barbie the Princess and the Popstar will not just be a modern version of Barbie Princess and the Pauper.
Thank you very much for your time and once again congratulations, LightningRed!
Until susunod month,
Your hostess,
Veronica C.
