No offense but the Barbie movies had to have shitty cgi and compulsory heterosexuality otherwise they would have been far too powerful

Princess and the Pauper was totally a watered down version of a poly relationship. They literally had a wedding together and then went on a honeymoon together. The wedding song implies that Anneliese and Erica are going to be with each other for their whole lives.

Even if you don’t believe in that or think it’s not obvious enough, Barbie movies are nowhere near as “complusively heterosexual” as Disney movies. Barbie, more often than not, saves herself.

Examples: Barbie as Repunzel, she is clever enough to trap Gothel using her art. A Pearl Princess, Lumina restrains her uncle with her pearl magic.

Further, there are often no typical “compulsive heterosexual” happy endings. That song I have linked for Princess and the Pauper shows Erica coming back after she decided she wanted to travel the world and sing instead of marry. Diamond Castle shows Liana (Barbie) and her friend Alexa (Theresa) living happily together in their home at the end of the movie, despite both having a love interest.

Finally, there are several Barbie movies with no love interests in them whatsoever.

Examples: A Mermaid Tale 1 & 2, Barbie Fairytopia and Barbie Mermaidia, Barbie and her sisters movies (Puppy Chase, Puppy Adventure, Perfect Christmas, In a Pony Tale), etc.
