Since we have a girly anime/manga thread that is successful, I thought a thread in the beauty parlor for non-Japanese movies/shows for women would be good whether it is the standard chick flicks like Mean Girls or 27 Dresses, shows like Sex in the City, soap operas, reality shows aimed at women like The Bachelor, or even girly cartoons and you remember as watching as a kid.

I guess I will start off by saying what was your favorite TV show you grew up with as a kid? For me it would be Princess Gwenevere and the Jewel Riders (Starla for you Brits). It was this western made magical girl series that you had to get up super early to watch.

W.I.T.C.H. was also a good show, that was more my late childhood early teens though.

Also, the holidays are around the corner which means that shitty Hallmark Christmas Movies and their clones are coming up. Anyone else likes to hatewatch them as much as I do? They are all really formulaic and are basically live action harlequin romance novels without the graphic sex. I remember seeing one called the Christmas Prince about some woman who visits this made up country around Christmas due to work and ends up meeting the prince of said country and stays with him over the holidays and it was really cheesy there was also this one where she helps this dude organize a Christmas parade and he ends up proposing at said parade. They are the type of movies that you watch while getting drunk off spiked eggnog and the like in the middle of a blizzard.
 
Mmm...
I'm sure PPG is one of them, not entirely centric but shows a lot of fine things. My favorite is that feminist episode one, written by the MLP 2010 creator.... i don't remember the name, lol.
And... i don't know if Totally Spies (if you ignore some fetisches) is another.
 
I guess the girly stuff I watched was the original MLP, Rainbow Brite and Care Bears. Cartoobs made to sell toys. Gotta love that 80s marketing strategy.

I heard they make those Hallmark movies all year round. It's a constant conveyor belt of Holiday schlock.
 
I watched a ton of Sailor Moon and Powerpuff Girls as a kid, since they were some of the few girlier shows I genuinely enjoyed. I was also a major Sabrina the Teenage Witch fan, and the Netflix adaption doesn't compare in the slightest.

I always like riffing on Hallmark movies with friends during Christmas. It'd feel weird not to do it at this point lol.
 
Ah yes, a thread I am qualified for!

As a kid I grew up with the 3D animated Barbie films. "Barbie as Rapunzel" was one of my favorites, and I had a talking dragon doll that was based from a character in that film. There's also Barbie's "Princess and the Pauper" and I also had the dolls that were made/marketed along with that film as well. "Swan Lake" was also based as fuck and that was one of my earliest introductions into classical music, and my love for it.

Does anyone remember the show "H20"? It was about mermaids and shit. I remember it being weird but also interesting as hell, and I was always mad that they seemed to show more re-runs of it than anything else. The film "Aquamarine" I thought was one of the coolest films to ever grace my child eyes, and I remember the absolute mermaid-frenzy it sent people.

One more thing too, and this is definitely more of a personal thought. Growing up I had a VHS copy of "Charlotte's Web", the 1973 version. This too was one of my favorites growing up, and something about it always touched me a little differently than most pieces of media. For me, not a lot of movies or shows spoke to me as being "feminine". Even some things that were meant for the female audience always felt hopelessly forced onto the younger females of my generation (and it's how I feel about modern media now, especially for kids, ugh). "Charlotte's Web" though? There's nothing inherently "feminine" about it, but the way the team behind this film put together their telling of this story stuck out to me very much as a kid. It influenced the way I connected with animals, among many other things. The animation and soundtrack for this film is wonderful, and I can honestly sit down to watch it whenever to this day.

 
When I was a kid I would watch 4Kids hoping to see Sonic X, Kirby, Yu-Gi-Oh, ect and sometimes Winx Club would be on. It wasn't too bad of a show but I think my young boy/lizard brain was mostly fascinated by the relatively revealing clothing the characters wore.

Oh yeah! The Barbie flims, I think the Barbie as Rapunzel one got memed briefly since the weasel called the villain "mistress" Also, damn, the CGI was so shit, it aged terribly.

Oh yeah! Aquamarine! That film started my mermaid phase for a while. I also liked the Little Mermaid cartoon on Toon Disney


Also, since I brought it up, do any of you like Sex in the City? I never though I'd like it personally, I literally started watching it out of boredom and then I suddenly find myself getting attached to the characters. Mr. Big is a total asshole though. That scene at the end of an episode where he followed Carrie into the elevator and kissed her despite her begging him not to because she was with Aidan was not okay. If I were her, I would tell Aidan that my ex coerced me into kissing him and sex and then get a restraining order on Mr. Big. Seriously, Aidan was a good guy and she totally fucked the relationship up.

Steve and Miranda were a nice couple, Steve did need to grow up a bit at first which he eventually did by opening his own bar and proving to her that he was responsible by being more active in raising their son. Samantha was of course hilarious. I also liked Stanford and I always held hopes that he would find a nice guy especially since he was unconventionally attractive and you know how gay men are really vain, but what ever happened to Marcus? In the first movie he just disappeared and they seemed to really love each other and then just had a really forced relationship with Charlotte's gay best friend Anthony which just came out of nowhere. Why?

Also, Sex in the City 2 sucked ass, seriously, the movie is nothing but pointless filler and has no redeeming qualities. I remember Blackbustercritic when he was still active on Youtube talking about in his video explaining why Blockbuster failed from the perspective of an ex-manager in the later days. He explained that he was in a mostly black neighboor and his store was given tons of copies of Sex in the City 2 which nobody rented at all and stayed there collecting dust and didn't sell when they were eventually removed from rental and they had to package them up to other stores to hopefully sell them which they didn't and so they had to take them to other stores and it was a waste of time and money. Ironically, when there was a popular movie like Happy Feet his store received hardly any copies as if Blockbuster didn't know anything about movies.

I liked the Last Unicorn. Is that a girly film?

I would say it counts! I love it too both the aesthetic and the soundtrack are amazing!

I also suddenly remember a Chick Flick from my childhood, but does anyone remember Cadet Kelly? Basically a girl who is made to go to military school and gets on the drill team? I remember watching it and enjoying it, but I am not sure if I would enjoy it now so much.

Most of those early CGI films were going to age badly no matter what. It was interesting seeing women my age make meme edits of this stuff, considering I didn't think there was much to "meme" besides the wonky villian characters these filmmakers created and acted out lol.
 
Alright here's some girly media that i was into as a wee thothunter:

As someone has brought it up before, I watched a lot of the Barbie movies as a kid and I remember having a book that was based on the Nutcracker one and loving it because of all the glittery pink stuff. I really liked Aquamarine and I remember watching it with my mom when it came out in theaters because I really liked mermaids when I was 6 also I like Enchanted and I also saw that when that came out in theaters. I watched the last unicorn when I was in the first grade and remembering how shocked I was with the ending as it was the first time I saw a fantasy film that didn't end with a happily ever after where the unicorn gets married to the prince. It's only after watching this video essay do I now have a more profound appreciation for the ending as it's a film that really hits you harder as an adult, I plan on rewatching the film and reading the book sometime. I'll post anything else that comes to mind if I can remember it.

I think the episode title is called, Equal Fights. I remember liking the villain's overall design.

When it comes to girl shows, I watch Project Runway
