| Wow, I'm surprisingly impressed |
I have to say that I was blown away. I was a little "iffy" about even letting my daughter be introduced to Barbie, since the barbie I thought I knew was vain. The graphics, the music, the story, the Integrity, as another reviewer said, are all incredible. I tried to buy the music right away (haven't figured out if I even can, though). Anyway, the Barbie in this movie is anything but vain; in fact, I am happy with the morals taught in this movie-friendship, loyalty, grace, and perserverance, among others. I also like how the girl who was supposed to marry the prince was pleasant and gorgeous--that was surprising. The prince doesn't just fall for some girl because she was pretty and nice-he fell in love with Rosella because they were compatible. That's another good lesson. |

| Island Princess - lovely music |
Another Barbie Musical that has wonderful music, good lessons, and beautiful friendships. The thing we appreciate most about this one is that the main bad character is not scary looking or scary sounding and doesn't have a "dark side" appearance. They made her look quite normal and it is just her character's behavior and manner of speech that shows her to be the "baddie" - which is more realistic than some other movies.
Great lessons of friendship and doing the right thing, caring for others, learning about making sacrifices, and handling challenges. A very good movie to add to your family dvd collection, that is safe for children to watch on their own and with their family. No downsides for us. |
