History Film / Bratz

* XtremeKoolLetterz: Averted, apart from Bratz.

* FreshmanFears: The very beginning of the film involves the main characters starting high-school together and discovering that their [[AbsurdlyDividedSchool school runs on cliques]]. They're slowly forced apart as they discover their new niches and end up fitting in better with other groups than with each other, before the TimeSkip kicks in.

* TheManBehindTheMan: The high school girl behind the man specifically. Meredith's influence in the school is so significant that she actually whispers to her father - the principal - on how to handle the Bratz when they get in trouble after the FoodFight.

* XtremeKoolLetterz: Averted, apart from Bratz.

* TitleDrop: "You... you... BRAAAAATZ!"

* TrailersAlwaysSpoil: Most of the trailers compromise mostly of scenes right from the end of the movie, at the party when the Bratz triumph over Meredith, or from the food fight.

The movie follows [[CuteClumsyGirl Cloe]], [[SassyBlackWoman Sasha]], [[ShrinkingViolet Yasmin]] and [[AsianAndNerdy Jade]] as [[DawsonCasting they]] go through high school. After being broken up on the first day, Yasmin decided to take the initiative and bring her group back together and show [[AlphaBitch Meredith]] and her GirlPosse that she doesn't rule the school.

* AnnoyingYoungerSibling: Cherish is this from Meredith's perspective. Though given that she antagonizes Meredith she winds up being sympathetic to the audience and seems nice otherwise. She helps the Bratz girls discredit Meredith's lies in the finale.

* MerchandiseDriven: It's based on a doll line so...yeah.

* UsedToBeASweetKid: While it's unknown if Meredith used to be sweet, when she sings "Fabulous", it's implied that Meredith was bullied in elementary school.

* UsedToBeASweetKid: While it's unknown about her having used to be sweet, when she sings "Fabulous", it's implied that Meredith was bullied in elementary school.

* AlphaBitch: Meredith is trying to out-bitch both Libby from ''Series/SabrinaTheTeenageWitch'' and Tess from ''Film/CampRock'' with songs like 'It's All About Me' and 'FABULOUS'.

* UsedToBeASweetKid: While it's unknown about her being sweet, when she sings "Fabulous" it's implied that Meredith was bullied in elementary school.

-->'''Meredith:''' You have the goths, the skaters, the disco dorks, the beat boy blingers, the gangstas, the wanna-be gangstas,the pretzel people who are into yoga, very different from the greenies who hate anything not made of plants. Then you have the nerds, the kids who like to dress like dinosaurs, and the football jocks.

* AnAesop: ThePowerOfFriendship RULES! Also, BeYourself and don't let people push you around.

* BrokenAesop: The movie is infamous for its promotion of unbridled materialism, since their looks and fashion seem to be the only thing the heroines have in common. This undermines the BeYourself lesson by reducing people to their looks and accessories. No wonder Meredith split the girls up so easily.
-->-- '''Animat''': The last thing on earth that should tell me about [[BeYourself being myself]] is a toy line that emphasises I'm nothing more than their looks, fashion and going out with boys. This is the equivalent of Hitler telling you to respect other people's beliefs.
** Meredith may be enforcing social stereotypes because she's a dictator and likes to be AlphaBitch, but face it, why wouldn't people with similar interests want to meet each other? It's not as if the Bratz discover they hate the cliques they're pushed into. If you've ever been lonely, you may have encountered groups that explicitly help you meet up with people who share your interests.
