This film is a pure masterpiece of motion pictures. Everything from the animation to the BRILLIANT writing is absolutely amazing!!! This movie is the Everest of all arts. Voices were just the BEST and verrryy not cancerous at all.

Everything from the poster to the mere acting makes this movie the masterpiece it is. I recommend this to any adult to watch over and over again.

I will admit at 17, I do like a vast majority of the Barbie movies, Nutcracker being my personal favourite. Swan Lake, while not perfect, is still very enchanting. There are some slow parts in the film, and I was annoyed by Maggie Wheeler's Odile. However, the computer animation in general is stunning, especially the dance sequences and any scene in the forest. Plus the opening credits were beautifully done. The music, adapted from Tchaikovsky's timeless ballet is just wonderful, a real gem of a score. And although the story is not always faithful to the original story, it still has some elements of it embedded, while putting its own enchanting take on it. The voice acting is highly commendable, a standout being Kelsey Grammar, who was terrific as the villainous Rothbart. The unicorn Lila is one of my favourite Barbie sidekicks along with Major Mint and Penelope. Oh, and Odette both in human form and swan form, is so beautiful. All in all, not perfect but very sweet and charming, and a delight for preschoolers. 8/10 Bethany Cox

This animated film shows not only the incredible use computer graphics but the beauty of dance as well. I have one of the many little girls who have been inspired to the call of ballet after watching this creation. The overall story has it's short comings, but to take a popular toy and turn it into an inspiration of dance is truly wonderful. Anything that can motivate a child to reach high into the dream clouds of hope will get my vote. My kids would like to see them do the story of rumplestilskin and the spinning wheel that spins gold.

Little girls will love the beauty, little boys with like the drama and heroics, the parents will praise the pure G rating and content. Great Work.

Barbie of Swan lake has been my favorite Barbie movie(and quite frankly, movie in general) since I was 3 years old. I would watch it nonstop on realest until the dvd broke(I think my mom was ok with that (; ). The story is incredible full of twists that still keep me on the edge of my seat even as a teen. The music, gorgeous, I love the music in swan lake and I enjoy seeing little badly animated figures on my tv screen dance to it. The dances are gorgeous. But with that said, the animation of course is not great, but it was made in 2003. And unfortunately the story is not the same as the original swan lake. But otherwise it is such a great movie for kids. Girls get positive female role models, Barbie and the fairy queen and Laila(the unicorn).
