Yeah, re-listening to the song now made me realize that. It has so much hidden meaning to it. When my cousin (who was only 7 at the time) watched it with me, she was confused as to why Wolfy barked instead of meowed. Then, once this song ended, she got all excited. she said 'OH. He doesn't HAVE to meow.' it was as if she realized that Wolfy was great the way he was. it's a great message to kids- you don't have to change to be special. And then she got to see Wolfy help save the day, all the while barking instead of meowing.
It's funny you mentioned that line, when I saw it it actually made me cry. It's crazy how much I didn't understand what this song was about when I was a child and how many times I catch things I missed as a child every time I revisit my childhood now that I'm older.
Let me tell you something, I’m 29 years old and I watched this movie with my sister last week and this part of the song was the one part in the movie that made me tear up I legit wiped tears away wtf
What I loved most about this scene was the king listening outside, just seeing Erika be herself and singing not about love, but about her cat and trying to cheer him up. It was so endearing how happy he got just seeing that side of her, but Erika didn’t even know! She was just focused on herself. ❤️ That is true girl power.
Note that King Dom was listening to that right after he decided to just tell her the truth about himself. And notice he smiled and left (maybe feeling assured) after hearing her singing the lyrics “I love you the way you are and that will never change” ❤️❤️ really is one of the most beautiful touching scenes
oh, definitely. i adore island princess almost as much as this one. but princess and the popstar... it sounds like it was literally this script and decided they could't have poor people so they made her a pop star like ??? really pissed me off
Zhane Alan pshhh no I love frozen and all but I like this a bit better since its my childhood and the songs mean a bit more, they make me happy since they were my favorite songs as a kid. Frozen songs are good but I'm listening to them when I'm older, not as much meaning n stuff, so I like this better
And if What you are Is a strange you Doesn't mean You should change you Only means You should change your point of view ~Something good to live by in accepting yourself!~
Actually I've read somewhere before that the Barbie industry has always been redefining social conventions. For example, in the old days, Barbie was actually the first (or one of the first) brands to produce toys of females shown to have male-dominated jobs at that time, like astronauts, scientists, teachers, lawyers, etc. So a Barbie Scientist at that time was revolutionary. :)
I still remember Dominick accidentally overhear her starting at the "Hey feline, you fetch just fine to think own self be true." And smile at "I love you the way you are, and that will never change." He also had a character development here where he realized that the girl who was singing was the one he was looking for. That's why the next song is *"If love me for me"* when they first 'officially' met in the presence of the queen, Preminger, and the subordinate of Dominick. Also, to disregard the people commenting that Dominick opened the door to the bathroom, he isn't. He opened the door to the princess' room, the bathroom is inside the princess' room, but he could hear Erika's voice from inside.
When talking about the guys - why nobody ever wondered about Julian knowing so well the princess room? Like where to look for shoes, robes... 😉 And then there is my husband not even knowing where to find fresh clothes for our daughter... 😀
@@niennalonely85 he even know that adeline only scented her letters with rose 😭 he knows her fav flower,and when she's down,both dominic and julian is the standard
*The most beautiful part in the whole movie* 😢❤ I'll tell you why. When I was little, it always spoke to me on a very personal level about being different and trying to be like everyone else. I am autistic and I always feel I need to hide it. This part of the movie is truly unique and the message is *so darn beautiful*. ❤❤❤ THANK YOU, creators of this movie!!!
Well all of you shouldn't feel like that. I know it aint easy but it's yourself you were born like that so it can't be bad❤️ you should learn to love yourself just for they way you are and not concetrating to what others say. The people who love you will stay by your side. And in the end who defines what normal is? The thing that matters the most is your soul and not how you look outside. 💟
Luke Willowbrook I am in the lgbt community too so I feel you💟 It's really important to have close people who'll love you and support you no matter what.
awe 💗💗 that’s what i love most about this song is it encourages you to be yourself. growing up, i never really understood the good messages in this movie (marry the person who loves you for you and not what they want you to be!!) that song is my favourite now but this cat song has always been one of my favourites and i always knew what it meant even at a young age. i love this 💗
Apparently someone is making it into a musical, on the how could I refuse video of this someone mentioned they were making it and there would be a new song about the purple crystals in the rock.
I really wish old Barbie back...New ones are so dumb, for example Barbie Princesa Power...Ugh...That was like a nightmare But I'm very happy, becouse when I was child Barbie movies was so beauty and teachs us something, but now...Oh, it's so sad 😢
I'm with you 100 percent! Nothing beats the classic Barbie movies. The Nutcracker and Swan Lake are my faves after this one! It will always have a special place in my heart because each song was short, yet beautiful in my opinion.
As a kid, I didn't understand nearly anything Erika was saying except "I love you the way you are." And it makes sense now as a whole looking back. I guess my inner self, deep down, knew it was something I wanted someone to say to me ever since childhood because not many people have said so to me growing up. So when I hear Erika say that now, I feel bittersweet pain, but touched because of how one could say this in a heartfelt song, especially after the emotional and mental struggles I've been through for years. For years, I just wanted someone to say stuff like that to me, in my face with pure honesty time and time again, like Erika did for Wolfie. To reassure me that I'm not abnormal, I'm just different and it's not bad. I feel like when there is a point where a fictional character is able to help me understand better than real people, it seemed like there is a major problem with society I know it sounds like it would trigger some sort of sarcastic violin play because of how sad, emotional, and "oh woe is me" sounding, but this is how I actually feel.
Thank you very much for writing that. Much of my healing work actually comes from fictional worlds - and mind me, I have had multiple therapists. Of course, there were also issues on my side...but I was just a kid. How are you supposed to help yourself when the real world around you doesn't give you the love you seek? As you said, there must be something off, something missing.... Well, life is short, but still long enough. Maybe we can use our experience to make this world a better place for the next generation of kids. I really appreciate all the creators behind these movies, they gave me so much of what I missed. I'm coming back to it time and time again.
me too but i just sang the bow wow line over and over again, he was a very doggish cat, mine was 16. you'll never not miss them, but with time it heals, they had an amazing life because of you.
I love the line "If what you are is a strange you, doesn't mean you should change you, only means you should change your point of view." Makes me cry, I love songs about accepting yourself
"there is not one hair of you that i would rearrange i love you the way you are and that will never change" tbh this is the most beautiful part when Dominick was just listening to her voice and fell in love with her soul. and that is truly "i love you the way you are"
I was just thinking that!!! I remember being diagnosed at 6 with adhd and hating myself for being different ans now that I'm listening to this at 24 it makes me tear up
Our old barbie movies were amazing. They had a point to them and weren't all about 'bar bie power' or 'saving the day' like the ones nowadays I'm happy that these type of movies filled my childhood and not the ones being made now.
Growing up and listening to this and realizing that it’s about being different should be celebrated made me burst out cry. My god I was so lucky to grow up watching these wonderful movies
This barbie is one of my favorite barbie back then. English wasn't my first language and I was 5 so I hardly understand it. The only thing I catch this barbie is good and beautiful. As an adult I rewatch this and I just realize how deep the songs in this barbie. What make it really beautiful is the messages in it. I love Erica and Dominic relationship too
"Noah's Ark shoulda had a cat like you", damn, this struck deep. A doggish-cat may not be a prototypical domestic pet, but if Erica can embrace his uniqueness, so can anyone else, including Wolfie himself! If you stray from the 'normal', it doesn't make you different, it makes you unique. Don't mask or change it, but OWN it!
1:51 is for all those people who think they arent good enough, just keep your head up and losten to this part over and over. *There is not one hair of you that I would rearrange* *I love you the way you are and that will never change.*
I am French. The French version is gorgeous, incredible, exactly the same vibe and beautiful voice, but I decided to see it in English and the lyrics are amazing, this movie is a work of art really. This scene made an implicit impact on me, I loved the spontaneity of it, today it’s my favorite one for the message and come on, the colours, the bubbles, the beauty of the designs and Dominic at the door, perfection beyond words.
Teaches you to love yourself despite your differences. Teaches you that you don’t need to change anything about yourself cause you are beautiful the way you are. What we got as little girls: mom I want a cat that barks!
This song is giving me some serious life lessons. "You're no status quo calico, so why keep trying to be?" ~~~ Don't try to become someone else.~~~ "Cause you're more than that...... I wish you could see the you I see." "And if what you are is a strange you...doesn't mean you should change you....you should change your point of view." ~~~ You're different and it's okay. Love yourself. ~~~ "Your bow wow's.... The cat's meow.... It's how I know you're you." "When you chase you tail, you're enchanting; Spirits sail, when you're panting; When you wail, you're a roger, Romeo..." ~~~ Small things makes you unique and special.~~~ "There's is not one hair of you, that I would rearrange." "I love you the way you are, and that will never change." ~~~ Your true friend will love and accept you the way you are.~~~
Barbie movies do a really great job of not underestimating the intelligence of children. That's how I can enjoy it so much; they deal with real problems that are emotionally relatable.
Little kids should watch this! 😭 this is what they should be addicted to and sing the songs here constantly instead of "let it go" where some of the lyrics are repetetive. This is so beautiful 😔 this is so under appreciated huhuhu.
I am 22yrs old and I still love this film...this song is so catchy and I dont feel embarrassed singing along to it...I really need to watch it again ♡♥♡
i agree this one is my favorite barbie movie i used to watch all the new ones before, cause it was so moving to me, but now i dont new are just disappointing...i want the old barbie back 😭
This is a beautiful way we should look at other people. SHe's saying its ok to be different and we should love people for who they are not only on the outside but on the outside. "And if what you are is a strange you, doesn't mean you should change you. Only means you should change your point of view" :)
I always skipped over this song as a kid but coming back to it now it hits waaaaay different. I think it’s my favorite now. Also, gotta love the collective nostalgia everyone is feeling for the classic Barbie movies😊
Honestly Barbie Princess and The Pauper is probably one of the best movies from my childhood. I mean there are so many good lessons. Learning to love yourself for who you are no matter what, learning that nothing is free and most things come with strings attached, learning that love is something you should choose Also the soundtrack is just so good
All these songs make me so emotional and I could start crying at once. So beautiful, deep, meaningful and educational all in one. All barbie cartoons songs are something else
"there is not one hair of you, that I would rearrange. I love you the way you are and that will never change" damn! that line, it hits me right in the feels. I actually needed that now. I hope they will bring back the old Barbie. The old Barbie that is full of magical. Those times were the best.
I grew up on this movie and now just revisiting it recently I now understand all the songs and this meanings. This song in particular has a special place in my heart, the lyrics are so powerful.
I watched this movie in Greek when I was little, listening to this song in English after so many years, I realise how Shakespearean it is. It's lovely. Also, it teaches that being different is not a bad thing "that's what makes me know you're you".
I don't know why i feel so emotional for some reason... These barbie movies which i watched as a little kid gives me memories... I didn't realize the message behind the songs like this one till now. I miss these old barbie movies!
Of course we are purple becauae we care. You dont care about people. Our pecks would be more painful. But intelligence wise we are the same. Conditions must be met the water thing you could have been a goddess but not it was your own decision but the other findings can done by yourself.
+Bebangski Yu One doesn't have to be a hipster to realise Frozen is disgustingly overrated. I used to think it was an okay film (not horrible, but not good either), and the fanbase made me kind of dislike it. There are lots of films out there that are WAAAY better and don't get half of the love Frozen gets. Frozen is not even close to being "the best" Disney film.
Frozen WANTS you to ship the sisters. They don't know how to do family love anymore. Lilo and Stitch was family love, Frozen is romantic love. Honestly, Frozen has no plot. It's been done a thousand times.
Old Barbie movies were more accepting of different types of people in the early 2000s than a lot of real people. That says a lot. Props to you Barbie for teaching us it's okay to be "weird", My awkward, tom-boyish, bisexual self thanks you.
Lol I honestly started tearing up at "there is not one hair of you that I would rearrange" (1:51). I think we often forget how much other people really admire things about ourselves that we view as flaws. Easily my favorite Barbie song, great message ☺️
I love the meaning of this song. If anyone feels down and has a low self-esteem, just come listen to this song, and really listen to the meaning and lyrics. It'll make you feel better
growing up i really overlooked this song in favor of preminger's song and the main song, but this song has really begun to catch my attention now, it's just so cute 😭 "noah's ark should've had a cat like you" is so
Can we take a second to acknowledge the beauty of this song and this Barbie era???? I miss these good old days! We must start something and lead a walk against the new Barbies!!!😂🤣🤣🤣🤣 we need these back!!!!!!!!!!!!😭 🙏🙏🙏🙏
I love how, this song proves that you can be anyone you want. It's not just a musical number dedicated to this cat, its a musical number dedicated to every person out there who feels they need to hide themselves. I'm thinking of the LGBTQ+ community, and everyone and anyone that feels uncomfortable in the skin everyone's wants them to be.
As a non-binary person, this song means everything to me. The world may see me as someone I’m not, but that doesn’t mean I am that person. I am me, and I will never change
This song helped me figure out my identity too! I was so afraid of the femininity of barbie movies because I wanted to be masculine so badly, this song made me love Barbie and feel like I could be whoever I wanted to be.
Of you think about it, it's not about a cat that barks, it's teaching kids that being different isn't something to be ashamed of, real deep.
+Beth K Oh jeez, I never caught that! But now I do and it makes me happy...
+Beth K this makes my heart happy
+Gabrielle Delacour (LeviosaNight) not to a six year old
Beth K Yep :)

Shhhh. Wolfie is worth it.

I'll never regret growing up with the barbie classics

''To thine ownself be true'' I love how Shakespeare is incorporated in this song! Barbie movies back in the days were GOLD!

But the line is used incorrectly! Anybody who's read hamlet knows that that line is ironic but sadly pop culture has ruined the original meaning xD

Yup

Yeahhhhh this scene was my favourite ❤️🔥.
Now I'm 23 and looking for those memories again and again.
It is about love tho love for her cat
This is love what you talking about?
so true bestie girlie
My favorite part "and if what you're is a strange you. Doesn't mean you should change you. Only means you should change your point of view"
"There is not one hair of you I would rearrange, I love you the way you are and that will never change"
Mine too ❤️
is it just me, or do you guys also prefer barbie movies in the same era as Princess and the Pauper more than the latest generation ones?
oh, definitely. i adore island princess almost as much as this one. but princess and the popstar... it sounds like it was literally this script and decided they could't have poor people so they made her a pop star like ??? really pissed me off
i do i hate the new ones they are nothing like this now which is really really sad who agrees
Mikayla Stavropoulos im pretty sure it IS LITERALLY the same movie just changed a bit...
Erin Martin ye there just about fashion and garbage
I agree completely.
This movie is better than frozen..
Joanna Martinez Is it wrong that I am a guy and that I actually agree with you?

You should change your point of view
~Something good to live by in accepting yourself!~

Awesome!
True
I wish the new Barbie movies had something something like that in their movies, man how I miss the old Barbie movies
Yep. Now the best message you'll get from a barbie movie is: BUY OUR TOYS At least it was subtle then
Listening to this as an adult so I can tell my inner child she’s loved and doesn’t need to change ;-;
😭😭😭 me too
Ur comment make me cry..😭
SOBBING NOW THANKS

I remember when I was younger, I was scared of the swan lake one 😅
Kennedy Phillips me too!! Those were the best along with fairytopia!!
Also the christmas Carol!!
I remember 6 year old me wearing my mom's bathe robe and imitating Ericka, singing this song. So many overwhelming memories
Erika*
XD
You can't put a C in Erika!

listening to this again at a different life stage actually hits different. this is so beautiful and deep.
But wolfie still cute even barks 😞
For real
When Wolfy tries to meow she immediately says "No." Because he should not change for anyone, wonderful message
I love this but I don't think it's that deep. She just simply said that his meow still doesn't sound like a cat

You know some of the barbie songs are really smart in how they usually have lesson's in them. I always feel like a little girl when I listen to them.
Gotta say, though, the lesson that a doggish cat should keep barking can't be applied in too many people's lives... :)
Michael Katsuro Ricksand Yeah I guess :) But I think the actual lesson was that you should love yourself the way you are.
Edwina Elric i think ur right
olivia holmes Thanks :)
welcome :)
this song is just a girl telling her self conscious cat that she will love him unconditionally and its literally the sweetest thing ever
*The most beautiful part in the whole movie* 😢❤
I'll tell you why.
When I was little, it always spoke to me on a very personal level about being different and trying to be like everyone else.
I am autistic and I always feel I need to hide it.
This part of the movie is truly unique and the message is *so darn beautiful*. ❤❤❤
THANK YOU, creators of this movie!!!
I am autistic as well, and I feel the exact same way as you. you are not alone!
Well all of you shouldn't feel like that. I know it aint easy but it's yourself you were born like that so it can't be bad❤️ you should learn to love yourself just for they way you are and not concetrating to what others say.

I know right? This movie is a Masterpiece.

tbh this is the most beautiful part when Dominick was just listening to her voice and fell in love with her soul. and that is truly "i love you the way you are"
Never realised how important of an influence Barbie movies really are to me
The early films had important messages regardless of age and gender.
The Age when Barbie movies were really tear jerking :'D I miss these movies
Adrianne Servillon so do I,so do I
where did they start going wrong?
+Monita Roy Ikr D:
perhaps after the three musketeers?
same tbh
+Monita Roy did thumbelina come out after?
Yknow, as a neurodivergent kid, this hits different
Agreed.
Wish I got this support when I was younger
I was just thinking that!!! I remember being diagnosed at 6 with adhd and hating myself for being different ans now that I'm listening to this at 24 it makes me tear up
Ahhh me Too 😢😅😊
Our old barbie movies were amazing. They had a point to them and weren't all about 'bar bie power' or 'saving the day' like the ones nowadays I'm happy that these type of movies filled my childhood and not the ones being made now.
Tanvi Nadda sameee i really wish they would make barbie movies like this agin

SAME WHAT THE HECK ITS LITERALLY ALWAYS STUCK IN MY HEAD
JUNKOOOKIEEE
Growing up and listening to this and realizing that it’s about being different should be celebrated made me burst out cry. My god I was so lucky to grow up watching these wonderful movies
Just a little fun fact, The Cats Meow is a slang term from like the 20's that means the best/the greatest.
*_There's not a single hair of yours that I would rearrange_*
*_I love you the way you are and that would never change_*
These Lines
That's how Jesus loves us too
This barbie is one of my favorite barbie back then. English wasn't my first language and I was 5 so I hardly understand it. The only thing I catch this barbie is good and beautiful. As an adult I rewatch this and I just realize how deep the songs in this barbie. What make it really beautiful is the messages in it. I love Erica and Dominic relationship too

Haven't watched this is years. I'm singing along to every word
Jayden Simmons Omg same! XD
Saaammeee!!!
This actually.. made me crying.
same here🥺
I’m so sad rn ong

This whole song makes me tear up forreal. I think it’s part nostalgia and the overall message is so touching.

"Noah's Ark shoulda had a cat like you", damn, this struck deep. A doggish-cat may not be a prototypical domestic pet, but if Erica can embrace his uniqueness, so can anyone else, including Wolfie himself! If you stray from the 'normal', it doesn't make you different, it makes you unique. Don't mask or change it, but OWN it!
1:51
is for all those people who think they arent good enough, just keep your head up and losten to this part over and over.
*There is not one hair of you that I would rearrange*
*I love you the way you are and that will never change.*
I am French. The French version is gorgeous, incredible, exactly the same vibe and beautiful voice, but I decided to see it in English and the lyrics are amazing, this movie is a work of art really. This scene made an implicit impact on me, I loved the spontaneity of it, today it’s my favorite one for the message and come on, the colours, the bubbles, the beauty of the designs and Dominic at the door, perfection beyond words.
Teaches you to love yourself despite your differences. Teaches you that you don’t need to change anything about yourself cause you are beautiful the way you are.
What we got as little girls: mom I want a cat that barks!
Nothing fills me with more serotonin than this song
This song is giving me some serious life lessons.
"You're no status quo calico, so why keep trying to be?"
~~~ Don't try to become someone else.~~~
"Cause you're more than that...... I wish you could see the you I see."
"And if what you are is a strange you...doesn't mean you should change you....you should change your point of view."
~~~ You're different and it's okay. Love yourself. ~~~
"Your bow wow's.... The cat's meow.... It's how I know you're you."
"When you chase you tail, you're enchanting;
Spirits sail, when you're panting;
When you wail, you're a roger, Romeo..."
~~~ Small things makes you unique and special.~~~
"There's is not one hair of you, that I would rearrange."
"I love you the way you are, and that will never change."
~~~ Your true friend will love and accept you the way you are.~~~
Barbie movies do a really great job of not underestimating the intelligence of children. That's how I can enjoy it so much; they deal with real problems that are emotionally relatable.
Little kids should watch this! 😭 this is what they should be addicted to and sing the songs here constantly instead of "let it go" where some of the lyrics are repetetive. This is so beautiful 😔 this is so under appreciated huhuhu.
I believe all of us feels like her doggish cat here.
I am 22yrs old and I still love this film...this song is so catchy and I dont feel embarrassed singing along to it...I really need to watch it again ♡♥♡
this is my top favorite Barbie movie. I love all of the old Barbie movies but the new ones are so dumb.
+Kaelie Richardson amen to that
i agree this one is my favorite barbie movie i used to watch all the new ones before, cause it was so moving to me, but now i dont new are just disappointing...i want the old barbie back 😭
Yeah like wtf is the one about the puppies
+김도연 Me too 😢
this one is so nostalgic to me
"There is not one hair of you that I will rearrange
I love you the way you are and that will never change"
These words hit hard.
This is a beautiful way we should look at other people. SHe's saying its ok to be different and we should love people for who they are not only on the outside but on the outside. "And if what you are is a strange you, doesn't mean you should change you. Only means you should change your point of view" :)
I always skipped over this song as a kid but coming back to it now it hits waaaaay different. I think it’s my favorite now. Also, gotta love the collective nostalgia everyone is feeling for the classic Barbie movies😊
Honestly Barbie Princess and The Pauper is probably one of the best movies from my childhood. I mean there are so many good lessons. Learning to love yourself for who you are no matter what, learning that nothing is free and most things come with strings attached, learning that love is something you should choose
Also the soundtrack is just so good
1:51 Awwwww that's my best part of this song
mine too :D
You mean your fave part? Lol
+noonk gnow Same
"i love you the way you are and that will never change" is my favorite
My favorite part is 0:57
I, at 23yrs old, am only now coming to appreciate this song.
As I sing it to my dog and cat and literally any bird that passes my window.
okay but honestly transgender acceptance?
a cat identifies as a dog and his owner accepts it !!! I LOVE this
I was just gonna comment that!! Barbie movies addressed more issues than I gave them credit for.
And the fact that Calico cats are almost 100% females...oh my god you're right
IKR? I THOUGHT THE SAME, BEAUTIFUL
OMG I JUST REALISED...THAT'S SO BEAUTIFUL 😭
Wolfie isn't a Calico.
All these songs make me so emotional and I could start crying at once. So beautiful, deep, meaningful and educational all in one. All barbie cartoons songs are something else
"there is not one hair of you, that I would rearrange. I love you the way you are and that will never change"
damn! that line, it hits me right in the feels. I actually needed that now. I hope they will bring back the old Barbie. The old Barbie that is full of magical. Those times were the best.
‘You’re a rover, Romeo’ tell me why i love singing that like so much 🥺
I came here to find this comment!!! You just take the word right out of my mouth! ❤
I grew up on this movie and now just revisiting it recently I now understand all the songs and this meanings. This song in particular has a special place in my heart, the lyrics are so powerful.
I watched this movie in Greek when I was little, listening to this song in English after so many years, I realise how Shakespearean it is.
It's lovely.
Also, it teaches that being different is not a bad thing "that's what makes me know you're you".
why are all of the songs in this movie so so deep and beautiful?????? i swear i'm covering this one
I don't know why i feel so emotional for some reason... These barbie movies which i watched as a little kid gives me memories... I didn't realize the message behind the songs like this one till now. I miss these old barbie movies!
just returned to this song after 10 years, and I'm just realizing this song can apply to more than just Wolfie...Man i didn't pick up on that as a tot
Of course we are purple becauae we care. You dont care about people. Our pecks would be more painful. But intelligence wise we are the same. Conditions must be met the water thing you could have been a goddess but not it was your own decision but the other findings can done by yourself.
She has such an amazing voice omg
I KNOW OH MY GOD
This movie is really much better than frozen
+linda rubias With Frozen, we can't even say it was a better love story than Twilight.
+linda rubias said it like a true hipster
+Bebangski Yu One doesn't have to be a hipster to realise Frozen is disgustingly overrated.
I used to think it was an okay film (not horrible, but not good either), and the fanbase made me kind of dislike it. There are lots of films out there that are WAAAY better and don't get half of the love Frozen gets. Frozen is not even close to being "the best" Disney film.
Frozen WANTS you to ship the sisters. They don't know how to do family love anymore. Lilo and Stitch was family love, Frozen is romantic love. Honestly, Frozen has no plot. It's been done a thousand times.
yes to you, and yes to you
I want to kiss whoever wrote this song. It’s truly a masterpiece to me and the lyrics are timeless.
I didn't need the lyrics after all these years I still know it all
I never realized these were so much deeper than I thought until now oh my god
Old Barbie movies were more accepting of different types of people in the early 2000s than a lot of real people. That says a lot. Props to you Barbie for teaching us it's okay to be "weird", My awkward, tom-boyish, bisexual self thanks you.
Friend: Why are you crying?
Me: I'm listening to a song about a cat who barks! You wouldn't understand
😭
I want to cry whenever I hear this song or "Im a Girl Like You" its brings back childhood memories.
I AGREE!!!
Lol I honestly started tearing up at "there is not one hair of you that I would rearrange" (1:51). I think we often forget how much other people really admire things about ourselves that we view as flaws. Easily my favorite Barbie song, great message ☺️
0:57 i'm ngl... i think we should all take those lyrics in, regardless of the fact that it's from a barbie movie.
I love the meaning of this song. If anyone feels down and has a low self-esteem, just come listen to this song, and really listen to the meaning and lyrics. It'll make you feel better
Bro, this dude fell in love with her while she was singing bout her cat...get you a mans
Proud to say that my toddler knows most of the lyrics
growing up i really overlooked this song in favor of preminger's song and the main song, but this song has really begun to catch my attention now, it's just so cute 😭 "noah's ark should've had a cat like you" is so
Can we take a second to acknowledge the beauty of this song and this Barbie era???? I miss these good old days! We must start something and lead a walk against the new Barbies!!!😂🤣🤣🤣🤣 we need these back!!!!!!!!!!!!😭 🙏🙏🙏🙏
I like to pick my cat up and dance with him to this song whenever I'm bored. XD
Ha I thought I was the only one XD
It's a crime that this song isn't on Spotify--
Revisting this song as an 18 year old guy with autism. I understand what the song means now.
Being yourself the such a perfect message 😊❤
:D yes!
"If what you are, is a strange you, doesn't mean you should change you, it just means you should change your point of view". Love it.
This is my absolute favorite song from this film. It makes me feel like someone loves me the way Ericka loves Wolfie. lol
I love how, this song proves that you can be anyone you want. It's not just a musical number dedicated to this cat, its a musical number dedicated to every person out there who feels they need to hide themselves. I'm thinking of the LGBTQ+ community, and everyone and anyone that feels uncomfortable in the skin everyone's wants them to be.
As a non-binary person, this song means everything to me. The world may see me as someone I’m not, but that doesn’t mean I am that person. I am me, and I will never change
This song helped me figure out my identity too! I was so afraid of the femininity of barbie movies because I wanted to be masculine so badly, this song made me love Barbie and feel like I could be whoever I wanted to be.
This song was such a gift for us.
hey! im proud of u and u do u
