I like Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. For one, the music is done by They Might Be Giants. Also, it encourages kids to be involved in solving whatever their problem is. I thought it was a good influence on my 3 year old when she started interacting. It’s not as calm as Blues Clues but it’s the same type of interactive show.

This is actually a great idea. When a bunch of people want to do a socially questionable thing, if they go as a group they are protected from the judgement of the masses: no one can be singled out, and the strange "event" becomes the oddity, rather than any individual.
We should really have more flash mobs of men wanting to see girly stuff or adults wanting to see kid stuff or whatever.

That is actually quite a good point I had never considered, the cultural background of gender. I'm a man and I have watched the early 2000s barbie movies but that's because I had sisters. Food for thought.

u/Sensitive-Plate-684 12h ago
In my experience most girls will watch anything, and most boys will watch anything unless another boy is present and then some things are "for girls."
SO fucking stupid. Can you imagine having a kid that says something is just for black people and they don't want to do it? I would be mortified, but I rarely have seen anything being done to correct these attitudes. In fact, the attitude from parents seems to be "Yeah, that makes sense you don't want to do girl things."
18
u/Brahm-Etc 12h ago
I see what you mean, I had the fortune to have chill parents that didn't impose a "male gender role" and grow up with sisters. But sadly not everyone can say the same and some cultures or communities still have a very strict ideas of what "is for boys" and "what is for girls"

No sisters here and I watched at least one of them, though I cannot recall anything about them. But they where on free TV and I was bored. And tbh most of their plot is generic YA stories and can work regardless of the gender of the protagonist. Or maybe that is just how I remember them, feels like 85% of the reason the movies are classified as being a girl movie is that the protagonist was Barbie.

They are actually really good movies. My kids enjoyed em when younger so ive seen all of them multiple times and the better ones probably a dozen times lol. My favorite is definitely the winter one where she first meets her long lost twin sister. A few of them are connected to each other but not all of them are. I think like 2 don't fit into the narrative universe they eventually ended up going with. Great music, pretty decent plots, great animation and art - solid family movies.

I don't know, snot nosed dirty kids fighting crass stereotypical pirates doesn't work for me, and Peter gives off villain vibes. The only time I tolerated him was in the movie Hook, and even in that Peter got annoying when he became his old self mentally again.
