This version of the Barbie movie is a more generic toy story, seeing Barbie and Ken – still played by Robbie and Gosling respectively – as real people playing dolls but actually doll-sized, running around a department store in search of the perfect owner. Along the way they stumble into the worlds of other toys, like a miniature train set and a Halloween display, often transforming into those styles of toys so they can blend in.

The movie was about the PAW Patrol in a live-action living room trying to get back inside the TV, and taking three lucky children along with them. I sat in the corner away from all the families, but at one point, a half-naked, beer-chugging, middle-aged man in a Speedo came up and told me that I need to give up my seat and move to one of the huge, comfy D-BOX seats, none of which were occupied. A little boy and his grandmother took those corner seats while I asked the ushers about that Speedo man and then sat down. Soon enough, the D-BOX experience took full effect, as this PAW Patrol movie had a horror scene. The auditorium was shrouded in fog as ghouls, wolves, vampires and demons flew out the screen in eye-popping 3D, prompting everyone but me to hurry outside screaming. When the nightmare was over and the doggies had vanquished the evil, everyone crept back into the cinema, most of them loving what just happened. Also in my dream, a baby turned out to be a Danny DeVito voiced Baby Herman type who also smoked a cigar and my mother (who I actually love very much) was punched twice in the chest for rapping the ‘n’ word.

FORMAT: 35mm
CONDITION: ★★★★★
NOTES: Although a technical difficulty at the start of projection which held up the screening for another few minutes could potentially mean that the Warner Bros. logo may have burned up – which came as a blessing in disguise considering I had just hurried through a crowd to get here from the Ciné Lumière – but the rest of the print is in excellent, clean, uncut condition.
