Our December FOTM, LightningRed!
1. Congratulations on winning FOTM! How does it feel like?
I'm surprised and I feel really great. THANK আপনি ALL WHO NOMINATE AND PICK ME!!!
Oh, I'm sure আপনি 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 প্রণয় to get to know আপনি better. Tell us a bit about yourself!
I প্রণয় old, classical বার্বি Princess চলচ্চিত্র (Nutcracker to Diamond Castle) and I don't like new modern-life বার্বি movies. I prefer বার্বি princesses to বার্বি fairies. My পছন্দ activities in ফ্যানপপ are making picks and ক্যুইজ as well as answering them.
I see our interests are quite similar :)
3.When did আপনি start watching the বার্বি Movies? What's the first movie that আপনি watched?
I started watching বার্বি চলচ্চিত্র since 2001. I watched বার্বি in the Nutcracker and Clara's wonderful ballet impressed me. Now I still think her dance is the most beautiful বার্বি dance.
Yes, I completely agree with you. Nutcracker is in my opinion one of the best বার্বি চলচ্চিত্র and its success allowed the পরবর্তি চলচ্চিত্র to be produced.
4.What is your পছন্দ movie and why?
My পছন্দ movie is বার্বি of রাজহাঁস Lake because I প্রণয় Odette's appearance and personality. Odette is not only the most beautiful বার্বি character but also kind, helpful, and family-loving. I like that Odette finally discovers that she is braver than she thinks. I also প্রণয় her friendship with Lila. Odette's character stands out in the movie.
Very interesting. I do miss the times when Barbie's character was আরো developed...
5.What is your least পছন্দ movie and why?
My least পছন্দ movie is Barbie: A Fairy Secret because the story seems quite silly. পরী in a modern world? Drinking প্রণয় potion? Kidnapping Ken to marry him? And Ken seems like a guy in distress, who has to be rescued দ্বারা 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 রঙ 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 অথবা Diana Kaarina? Who do আপনি think is better for বার্বি and why?
Kelly Sheridan. Her voice is sweet, gentle, and unique. Her voice is different from other বার্বি female sidekicks whose voice is high and shrill. Her voice really স্যুইটস্ বার্বি 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 বার্বি Movies?
Mattel is just focused on making profit instead of making good-quality movies. Mattel wants to sell lots of পুতুল 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 আপনি could switch places with one বার্বি 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 বড়দিন the picture quality decreases again. Barbie's face is very different from পূর্ববর্তি 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. বড়দিন 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, বার্বি The Princess and the Popstar)
My prediction: MT2 will be like MT and Princess & Popstar will be modern princess story like PCS. I hope বার্বি the Princess and the Popstar will not just be a modern version of বার্বি Princess and the Pauper.
Thank আপনি very much for your time and once again congratulations, LightningRed!
Until পরবর্তি month,
Your hostess,
Veronica C.
