Bratz: Super Babyz

The 2007 straight-to-DVD animated feature film, Bratz: Super Babyz, is a quirky, girl-centric, action-adventure comedy that engages audiences with its unique blend of humor, adventure, and lessons of courage and friendship with a whimsical comic book style twist. Developed by MGA Entertainment, the creators of the massively popular Bratz line of dolls, this movie adds an unexpected aspect to the Bratz universe by presenting our favorite fashion-forward characters – Cloe, Yasmin, Sasha, and Jade – not as stylish teenagers, but as superpowered babies!

When an alien matter-altering device known as the 'Matter Exchanger' accidentally falls into the hands of our young Bratz and transforms them into super babies with extraordinary powers, the story takes off. The four close-knit friends do not just end up with ordinary superpowers, their powers amusingly correspond with the characteristics they are known for.

Cloe, whose persona is all about individuality and intuitiveness, acquires the power of super intelligence, while Sasha, known for her feisty and fierce personality, turns into a baby with super strength. Yasmin, known for her warmth and empathy, now has the power to communicate with animals, and Jade, the innovative fashionista, surprisingly gets the power of supersonic speed.

In Bratz: Super Babyz, these little superheroines use their newfound powers to explore their world and embark on a journey to save Bubble Town from a looming alien invasion; aliens who have ironically been changed into babies by the same Matter Exchanger device that transformed our protagonists.

The alien baby invasion provides a platform for several hilarious sequences. Alongside this, there are several amusing scenes where the super Bratz babies tackle common childhood problems, such as fear of the doctor, dealing with getting lost, and facing every child’s nightmare – monstrous vegetables!

The diversion from the conventional teenage Bratz image to the superpowered babies is handled smoothly, maintaining the charm and spirit of the parent franchise, while offering innovative adventures. The movie teaches the young audience about strength, courage and the importance of friendship, embedding these positive messages within its cute, comedic plotline to keep them engaged.

The voices behind these loveable characters include an impressive line-up, such as Britt McKillip voicing Cloe, Britt Irvin for Yasmin, Dorla Bell as Sasha, and Maryke Hendrikse as Jade. The voice talents do an exceptional job bringing life to the characters, their fun and lively voice performances complimenting the enjoyable visual animation.

To add to the lively atmosphere, the movie is emboldened with modern pop beats and catchy songs, which tend to linger in your mind long after the movie is over. With girly colors, adorable characters and an action-packed story, Bratz: Super Babyz offers a memorable viewing experience for its young audience.

The film's animation style is drawn in the same fashion as a comic strip, with bright and vibrant aesthetics, catering to its target demographic. The animation style complements the overall comic book strokes of the plot throughout the movie, making the characters and the setting fun and vibrant.

The movie, although primarily targeted at young kids, particularly girls, isn't just a mere juvenile treat. The cleverly incorporated humor, moral values and well-developed characters make it an enjoyable watch for the whole family.

In summary, Bratz: Super Babyz is a delightful deviation from the regular Bratz series. It takes the beloved characters from the franchise into a refreshing new setting and embarks on an exciting journey filled with superpowers and adorable chaos. Laden with laughter, adventure, and cute characters, Bratz: Super Babyz is indeed a charming movie for children and a fun diversion for Bratz fans of all ages.
