HEY MINIONS so at the risk of you unfollowing/me sounding like a crazy person I’m going to ask you to do something very unusual today. I am going to ask you to watch a Barbie movie. (That’s it, up there. The whole thing. No really it’s like official no need to pirate it or anything how easy is that.)
WHY ON EARTH WOULD YOU DO THAT? Well okay so for one I am one of the two storyboard artists that worked on this (yes, two board artists, for a whole film, get that into your head I can hardly believe we managed it myself), but I am about to blow your mind with the more important detail that the other storyboarder was also the director and also the first female director that a Barbie film has had. Ever. Wow. I know. I knooooow.
So, tumblr, this is why Barbie and the Secret Door is important; this is the first Barbie film directed by a woman. Watch it. There is a super great villain, super cute giant purple furry minions with English accents and very bright super colourful colours all over the place just wait until you get to the magical place I stg you need sunglasses. There are also a lot of songs which will get stuck in your head and aggressive jive dancing.
I am not saying it is the best film, I am not saying that there aren’t other films that deserve your attention more, but there was a whole team of people behind this one gem of a lady trying our very best to make this film good, and you know what? I like it. There are many things that could be improved, yes, and there were decisions made by Mattel that we simply could not change whether we agreed with them or not, but that’s the case with every film, and this film saw a huge shift in the effort and direction of Barbie films. Tell Mattel what you want to see fixed, yes, but tell them that you want to see more of this; more women in control of pictures that are aimed towards young girls (because, let’s face it, these are). These films get translated into every language, they access a lot of people, these films can have influence. We need to be able to use this medium in a positive way, and we tried to, we really did try with this film. Barbie should be a positive icon for feminism; she has been before!
So, yes, please check this out if you have the time, and give Mattel and Rainmaker the feedback that they need!
I swear to god if you don’t love Romy and Nori, you are dead to me.
fun fact which nobody must tell Mattel;
I read the script and just pictured them as being a married couple so that’s how I treated the acting with them

For one, I didn’t make RGB u<u he is property of Tumblr User ModMad
She’s super awesome and is really skilled
Now, to address your concern-
Modmad has actually gotten asks like this before, and as she stated, she was totally not the first one to come up with the concept of TV-heads, nor will she ever be the last.
Do whatever you want and have fun! Don’t be held back by feeling like your OC looks like another thing that already exists!!
Here’s an example from me!
I have two characters that I really love and have put loads of effort into developing. I first made them in 2009 or 2010. Can’t remember exactly
Moving purple scarf and stuff. Awesome. Then I found out last year that this is a game that came out in 2001
I guess just realize there are always gonna be things out there that are similar to your work. But don’t let that stop you from having fun and creating without fear. Cause in the end, your thing/OC will always be unique because YOU made it
Anonymous asked: hey so I know I'm going to play professor layton vs phoenix wright at some point but I haven't actually played all the way through any professor layton games and was wondering if there were any you would recommend playing before PLvsPW?
ALL OF THEM actually nah lemme answer this properly because lots of people have asked me the same question on both sides; whether you’ve played all the AA games and none of the PL games or visa versa, I would recommend playing at least the first game in the series of the set that you haven’t. Honestly if you like PL you’re going to love AA, and likewise AA junkies will find no trouble getting addicted to puzzle solving professors and their beautifully animated cutscenes- there’s a reason a crossover happened, and I have to say the two game styles compliment each other enormously in the new adventure.
It isn’t necessary to play any of the (insert unplayed game series here) beforehand by any stretch, so by all means plunge right into the crossover if you want to, but I just feel the experience will be improved so much by developing a love and understanding of the characters before you start playing. The jokes (and injokes) will be much funnier, and the drama will have you jumping up and down on the bed rather than going ‘oh well I guess that is sort of shocking but I don’t feel as emotionally invested in it as I could have done if I knew this character better’.
At the end of the day it’s your choice, but if you want to get the most out of it I would exercise restraint for a little while longer and get to know the new world and cast that you’re going to be walking about and interacting with!
