We’ve hit the fourteen minute mark! And part two begins with some kind of flower petal falling from the tree in the center of the park into Cloe’s hair, remember that, it’s symbolic!
And suddenly everybody is running. And Cloe is carrying a box that she got, somewhere.
The music is jammin’! The caterer is rockin’! It’s gonna be the party of the century…
Party, you say? Oh yeah I forgot. There’s this thing called the Magnolia Ball, Dylan wants to ask out Lina, Brianna wanted to ask out Dylan? The Bratz and Cymbeline are planning it. Mr. Dublin is sponsoring the whole thing? Very very Green Aesop? Have we got that down? Good.
Oh yeah, Cymbeline still isn’t here. Maybe she’s with Lina, * Oh yeah, and Cymb is lead organizer (Not Sasha, but I think it’s just a title and Sasha is most definetly lead organizer)
Okay, let’s review:
- The Bratz don’t know about Cymbeline’s freak out at Brianna’s.
- She fell asleep in class once, then hated on Chemistry a little.
- She hung out with her palette swap Lina.
- She flaked once.
This apparently is grounds for the Bratz to say she’s ‘acting weird’ and ‘this is so not Cymbeline’. Maybe she’s having a bad day (Or a special day).
They instantly think it’s their DUTY ™ to go over to Cymbeline’s and ask her what the heck is going on.
PROBLEM: Cymbeline’s dad is super strict and NEVER ALLOWS ANYBODY TO VISIT THEM!
Wow, wouldn’t you kind of assume incest? Oh, still a Bratz movie, the earlier thing really got to me.
They still decide to go on with their plan and while Jade and Sasha really don’t want to do this, they go with Cloe and Yasmin.
Character Analysis
- Cloe: A girl with Super OCD.
- Yasmin: Inquisitive.
- Jade: Fashionista.
- Sasha: Sassy Black Woman
That’s a as far as the personalities go. I’m serious, no backstory, no Hidden Depths, they’re just girls with a magazine and a fashion passion.
Oh, and Sasha picks up another flower, symbolic!!! Wait, and then it floats straight up… okaaaayyy.
It’s Cymbeline! She’s sneaking out! And like any other good stalker sister Brianna waited up for her.
Brianna: Top of the evening to ya.
FORESHADOWING!!!!
Brianna asks where Cymb is going off to and she tells her it’s none of her business. Apparently, Brianna thinks it is her business. Look, somebody should really tell Brianna that being sisters doesn’t mean sharing everything and every night is a sleepover. Not me though, I’m an only child.
She threatens Cymb, saying she’ll tell dad about her flying off and her ‘early birthday present’. This prompts Cymbeline to act like proto-Light and uses what Brianna just said about sisters to make her keep her secret. Great Brianna!
Okay, now I know what you’re thinking, and no, this doesn’t make her less of a Mary Sue because:
1. Nobody ever calls her out on it. 2. It doesn’t really affect anything. 3. She gets to meet the Bratz because of it.
Anyways, before they can go on with this extremely annoying conversation, the gatebell (doorbell, but at the gate) rings, it’s the Bratz. After waiting 1.2778 seconds, Sasha and Jade ask to leave, Jade has to finish her essay on Modern Law enforcement, and Sasha just wants the heck out. I don’t blame them. The Dublin home is by itself on a cliff with nobody around. This supports my ‘Sasha-and-Jade-think-Mr-D-is-raping-his-daughters-theory-and-Cloe-and-Yasmin-are-insane’ theory.
But Cloe and Yasmin persist, Sasha and Jade sit in the car, Jade says they’re still “aiding and abetting”, at least she studied.
Brianna answers, they ask if Cymb is home, Cymb tells her to lie, so she does, she hangs up on them to ‘do homework’. Yasmin and Cloe still don’t give up (See, this is why I ship Sade, they have enough brains for romance… but only in a "Romantic" Two-Girl Friendship way.)
Oh, so Cloe and Yas break into the Dublin home. Jade correctly tells them they’re trespassing, but Yasmin says “Why not? Didn’t you say a friend in need?” Sasha retaliates! “What if she’s a friend in need of privacy?” But no, they still go because “Cloe has a bad feeling”.
At this point I think we’ve established that Cloe and Yasmin are Too Dumb to Live and I’m starting to rethink my earlier Five-Man Band-ing
- Sasha: The Hero
- Jade: The Smart Guy
- Cloe: The Chick
- Yasmin: The Other Chick
- Dylan: The Other Other Chick
When they break in, they try to get the smart ones to come in, but they don’t, and then Cloe says “What great friends you are! I thought we stuck together”. Why yes, I don’t like how Yasmin and Cloe are acting. But then Jade goes “We can stick together back in the car.” Too bad the movie thinks Yasmin and Cloe are right. Ugh.
We follow Cloe and Yasmin inside, Yasmin talks about how beautiful it is, while Cloe says she’s totally building a house like this when she gets out of school and trips over a lawngnome . Yeah, whatever Cloe. They ring the doorbell, nobody answers, wow! It’s not like Brianna specifically told them not to bother her right?
They check outback, they see an illuminated greenhouse, they go straight toward it.
Mr. Dublin is cosplaying a king and a fairy is speaking to him.
Fairy: Lina has returned… It’s your power she wants… She’s after your family… Dark’ness creeps back into the forest. Mr. Dublin: Yes, yes I know.
Okay, so by now we’ve worked out that the Dublins are magical creatures and Mr D is a king. Lina is evil and has brainwashed Cymb into hanging with her. Has anybody noticed that Brianna is really unimportant in this entire thing? Freaky huh?
Brianna sneaks up on the girls and tells them to leave, they don’t because it’s their DUTY ™ to know what the heck is up with Cymbeline, Sometimes you just have to leave people alone.
Oh wait, but they don’t. They hear “Just Let Go Now ~Karaoke~” and see lights. We finally get to see what happened to Cymbeline at the beginning of the movie.
“Cymbeline, MAGIC MAKE UP!”, yeah, complete with spinning, sparkles and poses.
Apparently, she grew wings and flew off.
Yasmin instantly says “She’s a pixie!”
Um… in this generation of ours, Pixie? Wouldn’t you think fairy first? I mean the Winx Club and all that. But then again the Winx get a stripperififc outfit, so I guess Pixie is correct. Plus she has been reading Pixie mythology.
“How?” Cloe asks, but then a Lawn Gnome bites her and she and Yas run away, fast. Running past the car even.
Also, the Lawn Gnome is really annoying.
Back at school, Lina now looks more like Azula because her hair is now in Cymbeline’s style. Dylan is now her servant under her spell, but thinks he’s a spelling servant. It’s kind of funny the first time, but then it just feels like padding. He slides across the floor on his stomach while Bryce looks at him. He doesn’t speak though, no Bryce for us…
Cloe and Yasmin try to convince Sasha and Jade that pixies exist, look, nobody’s going to believe you Cloe. All the proof they have is that they run out of the Dublin home, and that’s not really much.
She swears on her new boots (Conveniently available in the new Bratz fashion packs!), Jade thinks they’re stylin by the way.
Yasmin talks about how they saw Cymb fly off and a crazed little man chasing them. Jade thinks the fairy stories are affecting Yas, Sasha thinks they need more sleep, I think they’re doing drugs. Who’s right? You decide.
Dylan’s voice actor has suddenly taken up Dull Surprise as he sings
- Oh a hunting we will goOh a hunting we will goWe’ll catch a foxAnd put it in a boxAnd then we’ll let it go
He then acts somewhat freakish and goes away.
The Bratz talk about how happy he seems, talking freakishly themselves, Jade and Sasha bid them adieu, to go decorate for the Magnolia ball.
Finally, Yasmin and Cloe realize that they’re being idiots. Brianna walks past them and they stop her. This then goes on:
Brianna: I have to go somewhere right now.
Yasmin: Where are you going.
Brianna: I’m meeting someone.
Cloe: Like a date or something?
Brianna: Kinda.
Yasmin: Who’s this hot date with?
Cloe: Fess up, who’s the lucky guy, do we know him?
Brianna: Uh huh, Dylan.
Cloe and Yasmin: DYLAN! (Everybody stops and so does the music)
Brianna: Yeah… He asked me to meet him somewhere.
Cloe: Where?
Brianna: Whisper Hollow.
Cloe and Yasmin: WHISPER HOLLOW? *
They decide to go with, and guess what? It’s the same place as Dylan was before! But Dylan hates the woods, and whisper hollow is the creepiest ones I’ve ever seen in a 3 Dimensional CGI movie, though that may be because I like my animation 2D.
Dylan is dancing in the woods by himself, Yasmin and Cloe go up to him, leaving Brianna in the bushes. They ask him if he’s gotten into Del Rios chemistry closet, he doesn’t answer, just runs, they rush after him. Oh,It was a trap, they catch Cloe and Yasmin.
Oh yeah, and in this scene, Lina sounds like a true libby. And Cymbeline sounds stoned. But I guess that’s how you sound brainwashed.
I actually feel sorry for Dylan here, he just dances and dances while the pixies laugh at him. It’s unsettling. He even says “Now we all can dance together”.
See you next time?
