LightningRed Marie is never mentioned in the movie or the movie credits.

CleoCorinne But it is mentioned in the books, because I read it in mine... However, you're totally right about the movie and the movie credits, I think they just forgot they gave her a name because she had too few scenes in the movie.

LightningRed Well, I base this list on movie and the movie credit, not books.

manu962 Oh,an awesome article .Wish if Mattel could see what they've done with those names .

MelodyLaurel The funny thing about Queen Isabella is that they're both deceased. Nice article. Finally someone pointed this out. It's been bothering me with the name repeats and stuff.

Lorinna ^And both are queens, yep? And both have magical mystery portraits.

3xZ Great article LightningRed! Is Hadley is the one who repeated thrice? Oops! And Courtney. Only Courtney DC didn't have pic.

Lorinna ^Cause Courtney of DC wasn't shown, y'know.

3xZ ^ Yup, I know. I just forgotten.

Lena_t An awesome article! I wish Mattel could see what they've done with names!

MelodyLaurel Wait... Wasn't there a kid named Liana in SL? And then there's Liana in DC.

Lorinna ^Yes, but as her name wasn't noticed in SL, I doubt LR would add it.

manu962 ^Lolz,Lexie has a very good memory .I didn't remember that the name of the little fox in SL was Liana .

FairyPedro24 I think Mattel should use the name "Hayley"

CleoCorinne I love that name! Nice idea! ...one of my BMs OCs is called Héloise (who is she... uh... better not to say it)

Lorinna ^Hey, Ceci! There's another OC you made? Won't ys write to me about her? (as you know, I like naughty characters by you)

CleoCorinne She's not naughty... she's a child, how can she be? (Oh my, I told you who is she already... *shoots herself*)

Lorinna OMK! She's a child! OMK-OMK! And put this gun on its place, you're too young to be shot.

My thoughts on Barbie in The Pink Shoes

posted by Annabethandco

This was the first movie I re watched, and I was really pleasantly surprised. This movie have aspects of the second generation which makes it refreshing and nostalgic. On the whole, I found this film uplifting, sweet, and colourful.

Firstly, the return to ballet was amazing. The animation and choreography was stunning and reminded me of the Nutcracker and the 12 Dancing Princesses. It seems whenever Barbie returns to its roots, the result is either great or disappointing - and in this case I think the dancing was a success.
