Purely Joyful Movie!

Good story, Not enough for a whole film

brilliant actors, brilliant editing

The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

Another Barbie movie. And guess what? Kelly Sheridan is also in this film. Before I ever ran across the Barbie movies, I would have never heard this name, but that is the miracle for being willing to watch any movie out there.Anyway, its just a Barbie version of the "Prince and the Pauper" that has been done so many times before. Except this is a GGI Barbie version with a twist: somebody is trying to take over the 'Barbie kingdom'. Yes, very exciting.Overall, except for the two couples at the end, the story followed the traditional format. Not much to see here. "D-"

This is a wonderful film. I bought the video tape for my 3-year-old daughter, but ended up seeing it more than her :) I wonder if someone can help me with the lyrics of all the songs, specially the one that says: and you're always free to begin again, and the one that says: I love you for you, when you love me for me. They are very motivating, and I'd love to learn them and then teach them to my children. My email address is h.fayed@MT.com.kw. What I also like about it is that it is computer animated cartoon, not like the regular cartoons we usually see. The music is of an excellent standard. Involving both human characters and animals truly enriches our children imagination. my kids loved the characters and the two cats, and of course... the horse. I'd like to add that the scenes looked as if a professional camera-man took all the shoots. the 'camera' was moving from all the corners. The movie is wonderfully great.

I know that, when people make a Barbie movie, they are probably thinking "This movie is going to be a classic" or "They will probably like it so much, it will become as famous as Annie". But when I saw this movie, I was sort of disappointed. I thought it actually would be a classic, but it didn't have enough songs to become a classic, and there needed to be more emotion in the story line. Still, the movie itself was nice. The only problem with it was that it didn't have the potential to be better than those smash hit Broadway movies. Broadway type movies are usually emotional and have a very very very good cast. This movie had a cast that I would give five out of ten stars, and there were only like nine songs. I hope that the next Barbie movie actually does "make it to the top".

Five years ago if you told me I'd be watching a Barbie princess movie I would have slapped you. Today my daughter is going through her Princess stage and I was getting tired of the (well crafted) Disney stories (Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty etc) so I picked up this movie.Kai was humming along to the songs within moments of the start, the tunes are (like beauty and the beast) mindlessly catchy.The story, for what it is, is not too bad. The animation is standard CGI, not Pixar level, but not too bad.If you're looking for high brow opera this is not a movie for you, however if you actually want your daughter to have an enjoyable 70 minutes then I recommend this movie.rob
