4.0 out of 5 stars Barbie is back to simpler story lines - kind of mix of Rapunzel/swan lake, September 10, 2005

By	A. Woodley "Patroness, Janeites, the Austen list" (New Zealand) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

How wonderful this movie is out in New Zealand already! This was good on two levels, my 3 year old daughter was entranced by it, and it had a clear story line to follow. It reminded me a bit of Rapunzel and Swan Lake maybe it was the flying horse? But a strong heroine again - it also returned to the use of classical music which I enjoyed listening to in the background.

All Princess Annika wants to do is skate, but her parents don't approve. Even so she sneaks out and does it - only Wenlock, an evil wizard hears about her beauty and comes to find her to take her for his bride. She resists and to force her to marry him Wenlock enchants her family setting them in ice as statues along with all the villagers. Annika is saved by a winged horse (her sister Brietta under enchantment). She has three days to try to find the key to breaking the spell - or the people and her parents will stay as statues forever. Along the way she finds love (in the form of the penitent Aidan who has lost all his family's money) and she finds friends and allies - as well as breaking her sister's enchantment. It has some simple and nice messages in it as well - sisterly love, taking only what you need, empathy etc.

It is nice to see a return to simpler storylines - Fairytopia (the last Barbie movie) had a complicated storyline and seemed to be all about marketing as many dolls as possible. With two main characters and a winged horse (who is 'Barbie's' sister but has been under enchantment), the story was easier for the kids to follow along. the costumes were more reminiscent of classical fairytales as well. I guess I will be getting a bit of grief from my kids about buying them the toys to go with this. I don't know if I will or not - but at least other barbie dolls can be used in the fray - Anneliese and Erika could be dressed up - even rapunzel, or using Marzipan from Nutcracker if you have any of them


The animation on tis was very good I loved the way the hair moved during the ice skating scenes for instance so it seems to be getting better with each movie. There were good bright colours. the 3D is great too and the glasses that come with this are Barbie branded, however, just watch out, the littlies don't like keeping them on their noses and are more interested in experimenting with everything else in the house - 4 pairs don't last long. you can order more but it is an expensive kind of novelty - I think I appreicated it more than they did!

This is a good movie, but all I would ask is that Barbie goes back to all singing all dancing like in Princess and the Pauper, that was a great movie!

5.0 out of 5 stars 3-D Effects are O.K, October 11, 2005

A Kid's Review

I saw this movie for the second time today. I do agree with another reviewer, the 3-D ellements are poor. Bascically, the problem is the 3-D glasses. They are blue and red .making it had to see the picture, if only the people who made the Barbie movies just spent a few extra dollars ,and made the 3-D glasses clear. But as the storyline goes, this is a wonderful movie! For the first time ever, Barbie is a bit more independent. She starts to rely more on herself then other people. I love this Barbie movie and all the other ones too! Here is a complete list of all the Barbie movies in order of which they were made.
1.Barbie in the Nutcracker
2.Barbie as Rapunzel
3.Barbie of Swan Lake
4.Barbie as the Princess and the Pauper
5.Barbie Fairytopia
6.Barbie and the Magic of Pegasus
7.Barbie Fairytopia:Mermaidia (Spring 2006)
8.The Barbie Diaries (Spring 2006 This is a modern Barbie movie of when Barbie is a Sophmore in High School. Looks cool for older kids.)
