Barbie: Lago dei cigni

I watched this film for the first time years ago. As a child, the movie was so fascinating with beautiful ballet routines. Now as an adult, after watching it again, everything just the same. Barbie as Odette, a bakery's daughter, she is beautiful and has a sweet personality. One day, she sees a unicorn running around her shop. She tries to save the unicorn, and everything starts changing. This film is inspired by one of the most popular ballet, Swan Lake. Although the ending and main plot is totally different. This movie is clearly aimed for children and young viewers. The antagonist, Odile, is really interesting. Her voice is so unique, I still could remember her signature laugh since I was kid. Odette in this Barbie movie is quite strong and brave, I am not very fond of the prince characteristic as he is just too cliché and not that distinctive from other male partner of Barbie films. Overall, I enjoyed this movie as for young viewers. The story is light and quite enjoyable.

This is a sweet film, only for children really of course. It is basically a CGI film featuring the famous Barbie doll as Odette in Swan Lake, along with a few other characters (the only other one who was a doll originally is the prince). This film is not too mediocre and is exceedingly entertaining for most children, especially girls who love Barbie. Boys may like it as well.

For the quality of the film, there are a few things to add to it. There is quite a structured plot and well-thought characters and setting. It is not very similar to the original Swan Lake story, but luckily it is not too noticeable.

I like it because it is sweet, quite funny and has quite good dancing and music from the original ballet.

While Barbie talks to the little doll Shelley, who is going to race the next day, she shows her the constellation Cygnus, the swan. Then, Barbie tells Shelley the story of Odette, who turned into a swan...

This is not only for children, I also recommend this to adults who want to keep their kids quiet and not mucking around. ;-)

One of the most iconic barbie movies, it reminds me of my childhood i was always enchanted by this one especially the soundtrack, and frankly odile is an icon. A perfect fairy tale movie. I love the dance and the characters it is just so legendary.

Story - 8/10 It changes aspects of the original ballet but still kept the storyline,

Animation 6/10 Because the movie was made in 2003 i'll give it a pass

Characters 7/10 Likeable characters that originated from the ballet alongside with new characters.

Total = 21/30

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.
