IslandGuru Who payed the critics

ReaderKenka Let's be realistic.

KnotStronger This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

Humbersi The first must-see film of the year.

mnttrekker-76210 I love this movie, especially all the little details and subplots-- such as the monkey, and I'm an old man! It's sure to be loved by little girls (and probably most boys too). I've tested it out on the little girls in my family, or vice versa, to be precise.If you don't like classical music, in particular Mendelssohn, then this might not be your cup of tea.I like the portrayal of the princesses as not being so stereotypically girly. It is very rare for me to reward a movie with a "10."

vphawkeye233 This Movie's about 12 Beautiful Princesses who love to Dance until the King summons his Cousin the Duchess(Of Doom)to teach the Princesses how to be Proper Young ladies, But the Duchess makes the Princesses lives miserable by banning Dancing, Singing, and everything the Princesses love dear from the castle. But not all was lost when the Girls had their Mother's story about a Magical Kingdom Comfort them after the Duchess made some changes around the castle (Including the Girls wardrobe) later that night the Girls discover a magical world where wishes come true through the Mosaic of their bedroom floor. The Girls were having fun dancing for Two nights unaware that the Duchess has poisoned the princesses father so she could be Queen, and it was up to the Princesses and the Handsome royal Cobbler Derek put a stop to the Duchess's evil plans! My favorite part of the Movie is when the Princesses go into the Magical Kingdom sometimes I wish I could go there.

sarahjoga My 4YO and 2YO love this movie. It does help a little that my oldest has the same name as Barbie in this movie. :) We've only just gotten into the Barbie movies as they've gone on clearance, they usually have pretty twisted morals. Not sure if I'd rather have that than the boy saves girl of the original stories. Anyway, this one has rubbed me the wrong way. The duchess that comes in and tries to make them "princesses" is only enforcing normal rules... like bedtime and punctuality. (Some of the same things I try to enforce at home.) Okay... and then she tries to kill their dad off, that's bad. But my kids don't really understand the whole death thing, so for them it seems like everyone's upset that the duchess is making them follow rules and be considerate of others... Hmm... other than that, its not so bad.

Rachel Mathews This movie was very cute and totally little girl appropriate. My nieces have watched it non-stop since they've gotten it, and as a result I've seen it nearly 4 times all the way through. I can't get enough of it. The CGI images are great to watch, the humor is good, and the ballet portrayals are excellent. Although the story line has a few holes, no little girl will pick up on them, and as an adult, the movie is so charming that one hardly even notices. Just keep in mind that it is a Barbie movie, and, though cheesy at times, in my experience, this one lives up to the high standard which the other Barbie princess movies have set for it. I would recommend this to anyone who has a little girl who has always wanted to be a princess. It teaches a good lesson as well. Everyone is special and different in their own way, and everyone can make a difference.
