My two daughters sit with faces beaming whilst watching this feature length Barbie (very pink and fluffy although a bit dark at times) CGI animated film. IF your kids like Barbie they will ADORE this. I have to say I find the animation a bit weird to say the least but then I think I have been spoilt somewhat by the latest PIXAR creations on offer.
The film has the wonderful music from the ballet Swan lake and Barbie Odette and her friends go on an adventure with a unicorn and children who are turned into a skunk and a porcupine (I think!). They have defeat the evil bird man (Kelsey Grammer) and his daughter (an actress with an awful voice) as they try to get the Prince to fall for the horrible daughter. Odette is turned into a swan and needs help to break the spell so she can marry the prince and live happily ever after!!!!
IT is a great film for little girls. Little bit scary in places (my two don't like the scary birdman at one point) but they soon get over it and they dance around with glee!!! A must for all Barbie loving fans everywhere!! Also check out Barbie Rapunzel and Barbe Nutcracker (my personal favourite!!!!). Who said being a stay at home mum was boring!!!!!!!!!!
