Barbie und das Diamantschloss

I loved this movie as a kid - watched it over and over and over... and over. I must admit when I look back now, I see all its many flaws, but it's not meant for older people is it?

For being a Barbie movie, I enjoyed watching this with my girls far more than I expected. I liked the characters quite a bit, especially the twins. The storyline was fun and as usual, the good lesson. The graphics weren't bad, the music though a tad bit shrill at times with the singing, isn't bad either though beware, they're catchy enough tunes that they get stuck in your head... like a commercial jingle. I find myself humming "Connected" and then laughing at the fact that I'm humming my daughter's movie song. My three year old is entranced with the movie, she loves the puppies. So far, out of the barbie movies I have been bullied with big blue eyes and sweet smiles into watching, this one is my favorite.

I am the proud daddy of a beautiful 4year old little girl who loves all her Barbie movies, however this movie is the one that seems to have captured her attention the most. The story is easy to follow, some scenes might be a little dark but hey if your kids can watch a Disney movie they can certainly watch this(Nobody Dies). The films animation was done very well, its not Pixar or Dreamworks but thats what is so great about it. This film does not try and be something its not.

The lessons of friendship and trust are really put up front in this film. I do recommend this film to parents who have young children, babysitters, or if you flat out just want to see a great story about muses of music turned to stone, two girls who find a girl trapped in a mirror, and must take her to her home which is the Diamond Castle. I won't be sexist either the boys will get a kick out of the twins and the dragon Slyder I know my 8 year old son though it was cool. I must say for a movie that didn't have much publicity, it has done rather well for itself.... the only reason this film does not get a full 10 out of 10 with me, is the fact that it does not supply the bonus features that I normally hope to see, such as deleted scenes. It does have a blooper trailer. However if you want to see the missing sequence you have to view Barbie and the Christmas Carol and see the deleted scene with the puppies, which is a very cute music video, its just sad that it wasn't on the original release of Diamond Castle. So what are you waiting for, go check out this movie, and if you have already, leave it some love.

the kids i babysit absolutely LOVE this movie, and i thought i would hate watching it- but its so cute! i love Leona and Alexa's characters and its a good movie for kids :) the songs are pretty and get stuck in your head really quick! i have "2 voices" stuck in my head right now.. XD this is definitely my favorite movie the kids i babysit have me watch... cause its fun for everyone- they love the dogs, their older sister loves the exciting parts, and i like the songs... i admit it XD every time the kids are done watching it, they either a) want to watch it again or b) grab their Barbie and play "Barbie and the Diamond Castle" i definitely recommend this movie for parents or babysitters :)

They look like my friend's bf. They have very nice facial structure and good style for the time period the its in. Looks: 8/10, personality 3/10.

As for the movie, it is still my favourite barbie movie.
