Why the hell are we telling kids "older audiences, 5-12" that it's okay to DATE?!

[aisforamy]

Dude! What are you talking about? I have already reserved TWO copies! One for my kids (who are boys, because, you know, boys must know what girls want!) and one for their school library!





*insert pic of me trying to keep a straight face here*

AAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!! 'TIS AN ABOMINATION UNTO NUGGAN!!!!!!!!!

[twirlynoodle.livejournal.com]

Isn't it, though? And it's not even blue!

Ugh... I saw a trailer for that on the Madagascar DVD. It looks about as fun as snorting powdered, mouldy marshmallows. Less fun, in fact. I guess the parents of the intended victims market can rest easy that at least their offspring aren't watching South Park or listening to Marylin Manson?

[twirlynoodle.livejournal.com]

There was someone in my grade 6 history class who snorted crushed Smarties* – is it like that?

Come to think of it, I think he went on to watch South Park and listen to Marylin Manson... there's probably a point in that somewhere.

Poor Skipper.

Well... maybe if the Smarties were ones that he'd found in a dustbin, or stolen from a hobo's dog.

(I'm curious - were there any noticable effects of snorting crushed Smarties, aside from said slide into juvenile depravity? ;) )

It's a new school year, and Barbie hopes it’s going to be totally magical!
Oh goooooosh that sums it up pretty well, plus she's in a band, and has a magic diary (Death Note/Barbie XD), and wishes the boy she liked noticed her! All 5 years olds have the same converns I'm sure
Blerg!

Coincidentaly, my crazy friend made us look up Barbie's vital statistics on the internet today.......O.o Just why someone has figured out what they would be in human size is beyond me.

Yikes!

I like totally remember when Barbie was, like, an astronaut or a teacher or like, president and stuff. Granted, she was still impossibly proportioned, but at least she like did work and stuff! She must have somehow gotten ten years younger.

Eeeew! Call the police!

Okay, I showed this to my eleven year old sister (not even the upper limit!), and she feels the same way about it I do. Yuck.
Incidentally, does anyone besides me wonder why their lips are fluorescent purple? And what 'innovative animation style' their talking about (I think they would be better off with stop-motion-at least King Kong was attractive).

[wizardelfgirl.livejournal.com]

May your screams be multiplied to infinitum!
And how the hell did Barbie manage to change her age to that of a teen? Shouldn't Skipper be the star of this movie?
Worst of it all, my cousins are probably going to buy it. And they will make me watch it. So if next time I write you notice lots of stupidness it's because my IQ dropped dramatically.

I worked in a Toys R Us for ten years, that DVD would just be the tip of the iceberg. $10 says you can already buy the diary/ braclet set.

Hmm... I wonder what new Mega Bloks Dragon sets are out now? ;)

[sreya.livejournal.com]

*cries*

Whatever happened to "We girls can do anything" career oriented Barbies?????? Why must we be plagued by the tabloid-style Barbie and a tween-age Barbie (who should really be Skipper!!!)

Man, it's sad that I actually miss the 80s version of something.

[rebekah-weasley.livejournal.com]

*shudder* Ewww...

[twirlynoodle.livejournal.com]

I believe the movie comes with the diary/bracelet set. As for buying it already ... I wouldn't know.

My general impression from the movie sales is that Dragons is a declining brand. I saw the first one for sale everywhere but haven't seen the second at all, which is a pity because it was so much better. It nearly got axed right at the beginning because MegaBloks wasn't confident in its selling power, as the previous year's toy line hadn't sold as well as they were expecting and nor had the movie (though that was more due to really really STUPID marketing).

Weeeeell, if memory serves, this was the same kid who went on to teach my grade 10 Biology class how a bong works and demonstrate how to make a flamethrower out of a lighter and a can of Lysol. He'd also recreationally hyperventilate then constrict blood flow to his head so as to pass out for a moment, then do it again and again. Whether this is an effect of Smartie abuse or another reflection of the sort of personality that would lead one to snort crushed sugar and citric acid, I don't know.

If I'd been as well-read then as I am now,* I'd have given him a potato. |: )

So they can glow in the dark?

I think the 'innovative' animation style is toon-rendered CG; in other words, computer animation made to look like traditional animation by means of putting an outline on things and making them flat colours, as opposed to nicely textured and shaded. You see this in commercials sometimes (and a Robbie Williams music video) but I can't think of a movie or TV show that's a good example. This technique has been around for quite a while, though.

Your sister gives me hope for the females of this species.

Oh jeez, I feel like the Bratz dolls on the market these days are equally if not worse.

[wizardelfgirl.livejournal.com]

Actually you CAN buy the diary already, I just saw this TV commercial with the Diary and the magic bracelet you pass over the diary's lock to open it. The diary, besides pages, has 4 small "secret storage spaces". And this is in Mexico!
