Bratz: Babyz the Movie

Literally so annoying. Unfortunately turning characters into babies is a common trope in animation and this includes Bratz. And what that gives us is Bratz babyz, the babies who have a passion for fashion and somehow dress the same as their teenage counterparts. Parents usually get outraged at Bratz for being too "skimpy" or "setting a bad example for children" but I feel like their response is a lot more warranted for this spin off. Plot wise the movie is simple and follows the babies on a puppy chase at the mall and they have to compete in a karaoke competition to get him back after being stolen by an older bully. I will say the ending was pretty funny seeing him get ran off by a bunch of babies. Of course, this is a movie made for small children so there's gonna be a lesson in there somewhere, but honestly the only message I could really find is to not underestimate someone younger/smaller than you. Overall this might be one of the worst doll line tie in movies I've ever seen.

OK, let's show proof that I AM a guy and I have a twelve year old companion who'd dragged me to see this film a while ago. I wasn't expecting ANYTHING from Bratz since first of all, I'm not a big fan of the T.V. series that used to come on on the FOX channel and second of all, it was extravagantly girlie. But all in all, this film was beyond average. The theme song was kind of off for the Bratz Babyz and their characters were out-of-character compared to the dolls in the store, and why put in annoying twins puppy such as Nita & Nora and a bad-ass dog named Snappy? Let me explain, Nita is the absolute disrespectful and hot-headed child who's willing to get her way and is always cruel to her twin sister, Nora.

Nora is a timid kid twin of Nora who's always been bickered by her.

Snappy is an energetic puppy in which Nora coincidentally takes to the mall and gets herself into trouble after the puppy escapes into the mall.

See? These characters are just downright annoying, I mean, and what's up with their clothes? They're so small, skimpy and revealing; even a skirt wouldn't have the size of that, not even a Hawaii mini skirt. The plot follows babies "titled the Bratz" who roam the mall, looking for a puppy who's circumventing among the mall. Soon thereafter, he is kidnapped by a mall bully named "Duane" who's demanding fifty dolls to give the puppy for sale.

I'm sorry to say that this film is WAAY too short for me. Its flow is too rushed, its plot is rushing also. The songs like "Ready or Not" are too old for its style that not even a twelve-year-old would understand. And I forgot to mention the animation/visuals? They're horrible, I mean, there are WAY too many character errors and the scenery looks like something a two-year-old made. These babies are just too arrogant for their own good and are always putting too much pride in themselves.

I'm not forcing anyone to avoid the movie, but maybe kids who'd prefer more kid-friendly films/shows like Strawberry Shortcake shouldn't watch this.

Granted, this isn't the best kids movie I've ever seen, but it is a KIDS movie!! Who cares about the quality of the animation, as long as kids like it, that's what matters. My 6 year old LOVES this movie, every time we got to the video store that's the movie she picks. She sings along to all the songs, and is asking for the movie for Christmas. I am not concerned at all that she will be badly influenced by this movie. I am secure enough in my roll as a mother to believe that my girls will grow up knowing the difference between cartoon and reality. I think the plot of this movie is perfect for kids. No, an adult is not going to get anything out of it, but kids, especially little girls, will love the idea of other little girls doing what they can to save a cute puppy. Unbelievable? Absolutely. But I never did believe Wyle E Coyote could fall off a mountain 400 times and still get up to chase the roadrunner, yet I still found it enjoyable to watch. I still think that cartoons are made to be enjoyed, not dissected like an Acadedmy Award winner.
