I remember when I first read "The Little Prince" as one of the lectures you had to read at my school. And I got almost the worst grade from a test about it because I couldn't remember precisely any numbers or literal quotes. Only that mattered, not the fact how after I finished the book, I spent the rest of the day looking through my window and crying. I still find it so extremely ironic, we could talk ALL about how we should never forget being children, all about the meaning of this little masterpiece but no, let's focus on what exactly The Little Prince's planet was called, because apparently it's an important information.

It's still the most beautiful piece of literature I have ever read.

ACTUAL Canon/Near-Canon Ages of Barbie movie characters because I am sick of those damned posts making rounds on the internet

Here's the document I made that has information on characters that I could find in regards to character ages.

I provided all sources that I could and identified which were pure canon (as in, stated within the text of its film), near-canon (any source outside of the film), and speculation if needed. Go and freaking educate yourselves. This mostly focuses on protagonists and the ages of their love interests but includes others as well.

If you find something that contradicts this list, let me so I can update/add as needed. However, you must PROVIDE A SOURCE or else I’ll ignore it entirely. And it can’t just be “I read it somewhere” or "It said so on the Wiki" you need to SPECIFY what the actual source is. For example: "X character is said to be "#" on the old Barbie.com webpage" or "Y said her age was 17 in this scene".

And now to reward myself with sweets for doing all this work

And I thought I can't love this movie more-

Fun fact about Barbie's Rapunzel

I'm a very big fan of the Rapunzel version Barbie made. Aside from the beautiful soundtrack and overal aesthetic, there's something i noticed maybe a few years ago??

While i don't know if this was intentional, when Rapunzel is painting different dresses on herself, the dresses represent different artistic movements!!

The first one she makes with the paintbrush is the top centre purple dress, which is heavily inspired by renaissance styled dresses from times of Michelangelo and stuff. It's obviously very fantastical but if i remember correctly the reaction of her peers to this dress is that it looks too old or maybe a little outdated, which makes sense because Renaissance art is very old and has that antique feel, not very modern, not very groundbreaking (although it was in a way)

After that she makes the one in the top right, the big, ruffly dress that is clearly repressenting the Baroque period in art, where the main feature of paintings was pastels, the main feature of clothes was excess and the main feature in architecture was, you guessed it! Horror vacui. This dress is considered by her animal peers to be too much, similar to how baroque architecture can be a little too much for the eye.

Finally, the final dress she makes before making her official ballgown is the one at the bottom left, very obviously inspired by avant garde art. Cubism comes to mind, although i would say the dress has a very post impresionism feel to it similar to Gaughin's style of painting. Of course her friends say the dress is a little too modern.

The critiques mixed with the dresses themselves really makes me think these small references weren't a coincidence but thought through, making a little reference to classical art because, well, she paints! She's literally PAINTING THE DRESSES HERSELF!!!
