yeah idk what they were thinking making this. such a shame this doesn't feel like a barbie movie because, at the time it came out, having an environmentalist barbie movie would've been such a serve but all we got is this. ik barbie telling a story to a child character is a theme they were running with but it doesn't work as well when the story also plays in modern day like,,, what was the reason. i honestly would've preferred the movie to be about the frame storyline like,, watching barbie be a scout leader or the manager of this park. give her a real animal sidekick, and maybe add stacy or kelly, and keep the storyline similar but make the factory guys real antagonists
