This has the first four Barbie movies in one, they are Nutcracker, Rapunzel, Swan Lake, and the best one ever - The Princess and the Pauper. It is a good mix of Barbie singing and dancing. The quality of the animation and the storys get better as they go on with the Princess and the pauper songs etc the best. There is some great humour in that one too which the kids really enjoy.

Hours of fun in here which will keep your little girl occupied. Also nice dancing in the first two (Nutcracker and Swan Lake). What I like about these movies is Barbie is very capable, she is intelligent and tries to help others. I know it probably sounds trite, but I like the fact that the movies teach good ethics to kids, about being part of a community, and respecting others.

I am definitely not a barbie fan, but my four year old daughter is. She has developed a love of ballet, classical music and femininity from watching the barbie movies. Morales of being honest, friendly to all, unselfish, caring, hardworking, modest etc. are touched on throughout the movie and open the way to talk about some issues with my daughter on her level of understanding.
I would highly recommend all of the Barbie movies for moms and daughters to sit together and have some fun girl time. It's not often that a movie will come along that's entertaining to both child and adult - that is wholesome without any adult innuendos or humor.

My 5-year old daughter and I both love all four of these movies as well as Fairytopia. We are both very much looking forward to Barbie and the Magic of Pegasus. The Barbie movies have much milder villians and aren't nearly as scary as most Disney classics. The scenery is beautiful and they have great classical music. A pure pleasure to watch...over and over again.

I definitely recommend these for mother/young daughter viewing.

My daughter just recently fell in love with Barbie movies, and this boxed set of the older ones was a great deal! The stories are all so cute and have good morals to them, I don't feel bad about letting her watch them. Very highly recommended!!!

My 2 and 5 year old daughters have enjoyed this set immensely. A great value for the money too.

I bought these 4 movies for my daughter yesterday and we watched them ALL.
My 3 year old loves them and I was very and pleasantly impressed. My little one has been asking for the Mariposia one, and I thought, let's checkout these other ones first. I was glad I did and I want more. I want them for her and I love them myself. Over the years, I have shyed away from Barbie was not going to let her even play with them, as I felt there were getting " a little too grown up" But when I saw these movies, I fell in love all over again. The movies are beautiful. Everything from the scenery to the music, just so wonderful to watch. You will want to see it over and over again.

In these movies, Barbie is depicted as a strong sensible, sweet, kind person with values. She is the one who tries to make the difference and not the damsel in distress. She is not about self image and selfish... Lessons are taught in a gentle way and I must admit, being a die hard Disney fan, they were milder and slightly less intense. I loved these even more and so did my daughter. She has never asked to see anything over and over more so soon.

She loves being a princess and she loves to dance ballet. Now she wants to be a barbie princess. She takes ballet and she loves classical, so this was a good mix for her.

Watch them with your little girl and you will enjoy it. For the dad's, the animation is much like that of XBOX 360 and Playstation. Very nicely done Barbie.

It will be my pleasure to get more of them...

We already owned Barbie Swan Lake, which is my least favorite of the four movies in this collection. The Barbie Nutcracker isn't great either, but at least the music is nice to listen to. (Someone else's review said they only had a few of the Nutcracker pieces in it - but that's not true. It's almost the entire ballet score.) Barbie Rapunzel is pretty good, and the music is fantastic. The Princess & the Pauper is the best in the collection, and the singing is very good. I recommend this collection.

our girls loved the twelve princes so much we decided to try this set. unfortunately, most were too scary for our little girls (2 & 4). some of the scary things for kids are just a bit much for little ones while some are more evil in nature (wizard, witch, etc.). might consider caution if you'd prefer to avoid these things).

This is an excellent collection (Nutcracker, Rapunzel, Swan Lake and The Princess and the Pauper). My 5 years old daughter absolutely loves these. She started getting into ballet because of it :).

I must say that these are great movies for quality time spent together by the entire family. They don't just have entertaining value but also educational value by exposing the kids (and adults too :)) to classical works and excellent music in fun way. They are based on some great classic works and the movies are very well produced.

The value for the money is unquestionable great too and Amazon is definitely the place to get it; you just cannot go wrong with this as a gift or for any other reason!

These movies capture my 5 yo grandaughters attention and hold it - she loves the music and HAS to dance to it. The story lines are excellent, but the classical style music and songs are really suprising. Great girls movies that I don't mind watching with her!
