(Isn’t it always the royal advisor?) He was nominated for the DVDX Award of “Best Animated Character Performance,” and it’s not hard to see why! Preminger is easily my favourite Barbie villain of all time.Īnyway, Preminger’s plan was to steal all the kingdom’s gold and then use it as a bargaining chip to marry Princess Anneliese (in order to become a prince and take over the kingdom). The reason the kingdom is bankrupt? Enter, Preminger! Preminger is the Queen’s advisor, and our singing, crazy villain. Julian grew up in the village and now lives in the castle with the royal family. Here’s the rich King Dominick, from the neighbouring kingdom.Īnneliese isn’t too happy about marrying Dominick – she’s in love with her tutor, Julian. Her mother, the Queen, has arranged for her to marry King Dominick in order to save their kingdom from bankruptcy. Like most of the residents in Queen Genevieve’s kingdom, she lives in poverty.Īnd here we have Princess Anneliese. She works as a seamstress for Madame Carpe. He wrote a lot of other classic books too that you were probably made to suffer through in English class.Īnyway, the two main characters are Princess Anneliese and the pauper, Erika, young girls who look exactly alike.
The film is written by Cliff Ruby and Elana Lesser, who have both worked on various other Barbie films together, including Barbie as the Island Princess and Barbie and the Magic of Pegasus.īarbie: The Princess and the Pauper was based off on Mark Twain’s The Prince and the Pauper. This film is directed by William Lau, who is the same guy that directed other popular films, such as the Fairytopia series, Barbie and The Three Musketeers, and Barbie in a Christmas Carol. He also directed the absolute trainwreck that was A Fairy Secret, but let’s not dwell on that.
#BARBIE PRINCESS AND THE PAUPER MOVIE MOVIE#
Hello, hello! I’m back with another movie review, and this time we’ll be diving right into the 2004 classic film, Barbie: The Princess and the Pauper. This is, without a doubt, one of the most popular classic films, and it’s one that I often hear people refer to when they say ‘I miss the old Barbie movie style!’ So this is all I could find! Sorry again! UPDATE: I’m sorry the pictures are all different sizes! There are hardly any screenshots of this movie available on the internet, and I don’t have a disc drive in my computer so I can’t take any myself.
