Motompa Go in cold, and you're likely to emerge with your blood boiling. This has to be seen to be believed.
Hadrina The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
TheLittleSongbird Despite me not being part of the main target audience, I do enjoy the Barbie movies. They're not among my favourite movies but they all have their certain charms. Barbie Presents Thumbelina is not a movie I deem perfect, as much as I did admire the environmental message it did at times come across as too preachy, the dialogue is stilted and while I wouldn't call the characters annoying as such there have been more likable and less standard(in the types of characters that is) ones in the Barbie movies. However, despite some moments of blocky character designs(more in the human designs) the animation is bright and colourful, the music is catchy, the story, while baring little resemblance to Andersen's story, is sweet and charming with plenty of scenes to warm anybody's heart, the Twillerbabies are adorable and the voice work especially from the ever dependable Kelly Sheridan is solid. Overall, imperfect but perfectly charming. 7/10 Bethany Cox
istvansz Barbie is a teacher and going Green (spoiler alert!), This is the latest title in my 5 years old daughter movie collection. She loved the movie. The animation is not like in a Disney or Pixar movie, but it is much improved from the previous Barbie movies. She liked the idea that Barbie is a teacher and liked the theme of protecting the environment. She is all into it and I think that is a much better role model for small girls (unfortunatelly, I think that boys will skip this movie).Summary: it is introduced a new species of magical creatures: the Twillerbees, hidden among the wildflowers, threatened to be destroyed by new construction developments. The bravest of them is Thumbelina, who will have the help of a young girl named Makena. Everything is narrated to young kids by Barbie, who is a teacher. Thanks
