Bea's Original Collection (Part 2)

Wow! A lot has happened since my last blog. Indeed! Who would have known that the first typhoon that would hit the nation would create such frenzy?! It came Tuesday night and we lost electrical power around close to midnight then. I missed work the following day 'coz the trains are out and too many commuters are stranded on the streets trying to get a ride to work. What was worse was the blackout that affected the whole metro. We had to call friends to know what was happening in the outside world. We got our power back on early Thursday. Even at work we had Internet connection trouble! Boy, that wasn't fun at all!!!

Anyway, I didn't plan on carrying on about the week's happening since this is clearly the sequel to my previous blog about Bea's Barbie movies collection. She really has taken such a fancy to it. This year she is looking forward to adding two more to her collection, but that would be another matter already. Her Barbie movie collection didn't end with the previous list. She actually has eight more titles to her list:

Barbie and the Magic of Pegasus > released in 2005, is a variation of the princess rescuing the prince theme.

The Barbie Diaries > released in 2006, features Barbie as a teenager who starts a band with her best friends and comes into the possession of a seemingly magical diary.

Barbie in the 12 Dancing Princesses > released in 2006, is loosely based on the fairytale "The Twelve Dancing Princesses."

Barbie as The Island Princess > released in 2007, places Barbie on an island in the make believe Southern Seas.

Barbie and the Diamond Castle > released in 2008, was marketed and promoted as "Barbie's first best friends movie."

Barbie in A Christmas Carol > released in November 2008, was promoted as "Barbie in her first Christmas movie."

                                                                                      

Barbie Thumbelina > was released in March 2009, is loosely based on the fairytale of Thumbelina.

Barbie and the Three Musketeers > was released in September 2009, is based on Alexandre Dumas's classic tale The Three Musketeers.

There! At least I believe I have all the titles in Bea's collection! I must admit I have a lot of catching up to do in terms of watching her Barbie movies collection. I can't even remember the latest that I watched. Perhaps one of these days I'll find enough energy and interest to do a marathon. Until then, I will just let Bea enjoy her collection. Ta-tah! Till next blog ^_^

Bea's Original Collection (Part I)

Okay, so who hasn't ever had a collection? I know I had when I was younger. I used to love collecting stickers and fancy notebooks. I guess to this date, I would find myself stacking up on nice notebooks. I suppose my love for collecting stuff has rubbed off on my daughter as well. When she was younger, she loved watching Barbie movies. That's when her collection started. Even though she has outgrown Barbie, she hasn't outgrown her fascination for collecting Barbie videos.

Barbie in the Nutcracker > the first of the Barbie film series released in 2001 and loosely based on the classic story The Nutcracker and the Mouse King.

Barbie as Rapunzel > was released in 2002 and is adapted from the classic fairy tale Rapunzel.

Barbie of Swan Lake > was released in 2003 and is loosely adapted from the Swan Lake ballet.

Barbie as The Princess and the Pauper > launched and promoted as "Barbie's first musical" in 2004.

Fairytopia series: the second Barbie movie to have sequels. The Fairytopia series includes:

• Barbie : Fairytopia (2005)Barbie: Mermaidia (2006)
• Barbie Fairytopia: Magic of the Rainbow (2007)
• Barbie Mariposa (2008)
