DVD Reviews of Barbie as The Island Princess
DVD Review: Barbie Island Princess
Summary: 5 Stars
I really enjoyed this movie. It's a cute movie. I like that fact, that the evil person is not that evil in appearence or actions. My daugther is easily impressed with movies but she loves all of these and this one was great. She truly liked it. I also liked the music. It is very nice.DVD Review: Meh...
Summary: 2 Stars
Barbie stars this time as the shipwrecked young princess who grows up lost but not alone on a fantastic island where she learns to talk to the animals. After the arrival of an intrepid young prince who is an adventurer, Barbie returns with him to his kingdom only to find herself a bit of an outcast. With the help of her animal friends, Barbie and her kindness win over the prince and defeat an evil woman bent on revenge.
I thought this Barbie flick was sub par. The story starts off okay, but I quickly got a bit tired of the campy Peacock character and the sheer sueness of Barbie. No one is more perfect, kinder, or more enlightened than Barbie. Even the rival for the princes' affections isn't much of a contender. This is a kid's film, so I can understand such black and white characterizations, but there really isn't much more to Ro's character than sweetness, and not much to the plot other than predictability.
I would've liked to have seen more development of Ro's family. And whoever designed the Queen's monkey? That thing was seriously creepy. It looked like a little person.
2 stars. Not my favorite Barbie Film. I found myself fast-forwarding just to see how it ended.
DVD Review: Our LEAST favorite barbie movie
Summary: 3 Stars
I was surprised that I actually enjoyed Barbie movies. This one has to be the worst by far. It seemed to be repetitive of the other movies (characters and plot). The animation was very poor. I say pass on this one and get one of the other Barbie movies which are great. DVD Review: Another hit Barbie movie!
Summary: 4 Stars
This is one of the best Barbie moveies made. I am a mom of a 3 year old and in the last year, we have purchased every Barbie movie made. My daughter loves it, especially the singing and the animal characters...Azul is her favorite! At first, the songs were very annoying to me, especially the opening track "Here on my island". However, they soon grow on you and now I find that they get stuck in my head! As an adult, I think that the movie is actually pretty good. It rivals some of the classic Disney movies, which had a higher production budget than Barbie. Of all of the Barbie movies, the new Diamond Castle is our favorite, followed by The Princess and the Pauper. This would probably be third. DVD Review: The Island Princess
Summary: 5 Stars
To tell you the truth I haven't watched this one yet. I bought it for my granddaughter and she loves it, so does my daughter and the other grandmother. I have seen a couple of the other Barbie movies and they are very good. I usually don't like animated movies but the animation in these movies is beautiful, plus the stories are excellent. They really hold your attention. My daughter said this is one of the better ones.
Description of Barbie as The Island Princess
Sometimes 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 HoriuchiBeyond Barbie as the Island Princess on DVD
