My favorite thing about the Barbie trailer is the plot looks EXACTLY like a crazy-ass Barbie play session two seven year old girls would come up with and I’m here for it
even just from the trailers, you can tell how much love and thought and effort was put into the barbie movie by everyone involved. it reminds me of when i realized the lego movie’s character models had fingerprints and smudges and wear and tear on the “plastic,” or when i learned all the tricks and practical effects the crew of the wizard of oz used to have dorothy step out of sepia kansas and into full-color munchkinland in the same take, or when spider-verse came out and we saw how closely the animation style mimicked a comic book. like….yes please. more of this please.
rob marshall saying that halle and jonah were instantly connected during their screen test and that it was a no-brainer when it came to choosing them as ariel and eric
I keep thinking about their first meeting, and the impact Ariel had on this man. The film really emphasized her siren powers. Like molten metal her song filled his lungs, heart and soul. And her voice, her touch, her being would forever be sealed inside him. Locked away. Prince Eric so desperately wants to find this mystery woman, to the point of almost going mad. And here, Ariel, the woman he’s been searching the whole surface world for, sits before him. A part of him so desperately wants it to be her. When she touches him, he becomes so serious. Shocked. Jonah captures his yearning exquisitely with his expressions. Every fiber of Eric’s being lights on fire with her single small caress. Something about it so familiar. He would know. Her very being has been seared into every cell of his. Everything else in that moment ceases to matter… because for a split momentary second… he finally found her.
