Let’s take a moment to appreciate Julian, aka the best love interest to ever exist in a Barbie movie. His character was actually important and developed, playing an important role in the story. It was made very clear that he and Anneliese were best friends. Their relationship developed naturally over the years, and wasn’t suddenly added in at some point in the movie.
He truest love Anneliese, not because she was a princess, but because she was Anneliese, his best friend. He knew that he’d never have a chance to be with her, and had resigned himself to that fate and throughout the entire movie thought she harbored no feelings towards him. He just cared so much about her regardless of whether or not they’d end up together. This man went and committed treason because he knew her well enough to know when something wasn’t right. He ended up helping save her kingdom from bankruptcy and prevented Preminger from stealing the throne without expecting anything in return.
Not to mention the fact that he interacted with Erika, a girl who looked identical to the one he loved, without any sign of romantic interest whatsoever. This man didn’t love Anneliese because she was pretty or royalty, he loved her because of who she was.
Anyways yeah stan Julian. The best love interest in any barbie movie. He’s that best.
