We own most of the Barbie movies and have watched them numerous times, but after this last movie, we won't buy anymore. Something's changed in management: animation is cheap with choppy movement, the character faces are different with wider eyes and rounder faces, not at all like Barbie doll faces, and worst, the characters act like brats. Barbie isn't Barbie at all. Neither is Ken. They act childish.
Barbie starts a fight with a co-star after the co-star rips her dress, and Ken runs in anticipation to watch--disgusting. The Barbie girls have grown to know and love would never have picked a fight. She's wiser than that. And Ken would never have delighted in it. I hate that the storyline all revolves around guys, which is completely inappropriate for this target audience, and that the source of all the movie's problems is jealousy. Even in the end, the fairy princess, who by title should be a role model and therefore wise, acts like a brat, wanting to keep her former friends imprisoned for abandoning her friendship.
Come on! This whole movie is shallow and a bad influence on young girls. It isn't even beneficial for teens, if they were to watch it. I had worried about a downward trend after A Fashion Fairytale's huge focus on glamour. Now I see I had good reason to worry. I wish I hadn't bought this worthless movie.
From now on we're switching to the new Strawberry Shortcake. She's still nice, sweet, wise, and the stories have great problem-solving that has nothing to do with boy-girl relationships. At least one movie-doll star is still a good influence.

My daughter loves this movie. It is one of her favorite Barbie movies. She watches it all the time. I think this movie is great for all ages. It is also really good to read the book too which contains parts of the movie.

My 6yr old daughter got this dvd as an easter gift and just loves it. We have all the barbie movies that have been made for atleast the last 10+ yrs. My older daughter whom is now 101/2 still watches these and enjoys them. I also have watched them and they are really good movies, no need to worry about anything inappropriate like most everything else today!!

Barbie is ALWAYS a hit with my 4 1/2 year old so it was no suprise when I bought this set (came with wings) to give my daughter and she loved it! Faries are always a big hit with little girls and once you mix that with Barbie you have a winner! Great little movie too!

The move is a good movie that Kids will love. The only issue I have is the UPS innovative shipping. It's very slow and Irritating. They are also very bad at tracking the product until the day before you get it. It takes 4 to 5 days. I think it would be better to have it shipped from a store near you rather than another state so far away.
