DVD Reviews of Barbie as The Island PrincessDVD Review: Love it Summary: 5 StarsMy daughter watched this movie over and over and over. Great movie, came on time and in great condition. I would purchase from this seller again.
DVD Review: Totally exceeded expectations Summary: 5 StarsTotally exceeded expectations, love the Barbie series, much more than I thought I would, very nice, always about standing up for what is right and being a friend, instant family favorite, we all sing the songs and watch this one, even bought the toys that go with this one!
DVD Review: Best of all the Barbie movies! The songs make the difference. Summary: 5 StarsI am amazed that this movie doesn't have more 5 star reviews as it is head and shoulders above all of the other Barbie movies. We have several of the Barbie movies (many that are painful to watch as an adult), but this one I actually enjoy watching with my daughter. It is so good that my 8 year old son will also watch it. The story is strong, the characters are believable, the animation is beautiful, and (best of all) the music is outstanding! This movie is a musical, and it is the quality of the musical numbers that sets this movie apart - it is Broadway quality. In fact, the lead singers are indeed Broadway stars. You will be humming the songs long after the movie is over.
DVD Review: from a 13-year old Barbie lover! Summary: 3 StarsI like this movie, but it's got a few glitches. I didn't like Tika, her eyes are just CREEPY! And she was a whiner. I feel like the animals are more important to Ro than her soon-to-be husband, (sorry, i could say 'spoiler warning' but YOU KNOW SHE MARRIES HIM!) and when they can't get away from them for two seconds,it's annoying. Second- Arianna should have gotten a better punishment! SHE WALLOWS IN MUD-- BIG DEAL! And Prince Antonio was so... bland, and sort of annoying. Besides, there were only three really good songs. Not like the Princess and the Pauper. I miss the old fairy-tale style. But I like the storyline, it could have been better if they'd eliminated some of the animal involvment and spiced it up a bit. And I still like it. So 3 stars.
DVD Review: Good person, here. Summary: 5 StarsI bought a movie from this seller and it skipped. I emailed them, and right away they replied stating they would send a new movie and a return label to send back the defective one. No hassle. This was a great transaction, even though I had to send first one back. Love this seller.
Description of Barbie as The Island PrincessSometimes it's difficult finding one's place in the world and, while a young shipwrecked girl named Ro couldn't ask for better friends than the animals that raised her on a South Seas island, she wonders about her parents and where she came from. When avid explorer Prince Antonio discovers the island, he offers Ro a chance to return to civilization and Ro convinces her friends Tika the elephant, Sagi the red panda, and Azul the peacock to accompany her. Once in the Prince's kingdom, Ro and her friends feel hopelessly out of place and fall prey to the tricks of a scheming traitor. Just when it seems that Ro may never find her parents, feel comfortable in the civilized world, nor realize her love for the Prince, Ro gets a hint of her mother's identity and finds an opportunity to prove her goodness to the royal family. This CGI animated musical stars Barbie and features nine very nice original songs. The animation is adequate, if not particularly realistic, and the story, though it's certainly been told before, holds the interest of children ages 3 to 7 years. - -Tami Horiuchi
