Barbie shines in her third animated movie, an adaptation of the classic ballet Swan Lake. A young girl named Odette (played by Barbie) follows a beautiful unicorn into the enchanted forest and picks up a magic crystal that proclaims her destiny as savior of the enchanted forest. Odette, hampered by an overwhelming sense of insecurity, proclaims herself unfit for the job and sets out to leave the forest when the evil wizard Rothbart (voiced by Kelsey Grammer) turns her into a swan. Bolstered by the powers of the magic crystal, Odette vows to defeat Rothbart. Meanwhile, love blossoms between Odette and the town's Prince Daniel and, eventually, Odette finds a courage within herself that, combined with her intelligence and the true love between her and the Prince, proves powerful enough to defeat Rothbart. The computer-generated animation in this 83-minute presentation is vivid and lifelike, the London Symphony gives a wonderful performance of Tchaikovsky's original music, and the choreography and dancing is nicely done thanks to Peter Martins and the New York City Ballet. (Ages 3-8) --Tami Horiuchi

Surprisingly wonderful!

Nonna (grandmother) bought this video on impulse because it was on sale and she wanted to give my 3 year old something more to unwrap for Christmas. I thought I was going to die when I saw "Barbie". How annoying would this be? But to my pleasant surprise, it is actually very good! Not only is the story fairly representative of the real Swan Lake ballet, but because it is uses the same musical scores, it is easy to listen to (even for the 100th time, as we have done since Christmas). And my daughter LOVES it - not only to watch, but to imitate the dancing. So much so, that we've signed her up for ballet classes!

BARBIE CAN ACT, SING...AND NOW..DANCE!!WHY WAS EVERYONE ELSE IN THE MOVIE EXCEPT BARBIE UGLY??

Even though this Barbie movie came out a while ago I just recently watched it and have been watching some of the older ones I have not watched since I have only seen the newer ones since Princess and the Pauper was the first Barbie movie I watched that got me into watching more.
Barbie as Swan Lake is a little odd... I gave is four stars because I did not feel it was as good as the others..there are still some questions I am left with after seeing this movie::

WHY WAS EVERYONE SO UGLY IN THIS MOVIE except BARBIE??
Usually in these Barbie movies the supporting characters..even the villians (La Verna of Fairytopia for example) are pretty decent looking.
In this Barbie movie all the characters are not very attractive except Barbie. The Villian is so ugly, Barbie's sister, the Queen, Barbie's friends, people in the village..even the unicorn was so ugly and annoying..Usually her animal friends have pretty long eyelashes and where lots of makeup.
THE THREE OBLIGATORY KELLY DOLLS??
Seems since Barbie is a famous movie star her Brat sister kelly and her friends have to always get in on the scene!
TO MANY COSTUME CHANGES??
Barbie changed outfits so many times in this movie it was hard to keep up!! What was the wings she was wearing at the end??

Oh Barbie..we shall see what your other movies have in store..

Perfect for kids who love ballet

The quality and story of this Barbie version is pretty good but I noticed it has more ballet dancing than singing. My little girl like this especially the ballet scene. If you like ballet this is perfect for you. I rated it one star lower than Rapunzel or the Princess and the Pauper as it has specific audience.
