Barbie e l'avventura nell'oceano

The only thing that bothered me the most was that when Merliah was talking with her friends and Zuma at the beach and was angry about Oceana and her dreams of becoming a champion surfer and attempting to smash her necklace, it was really an ugly sight for me to see. It was a side of her I've never seen before which was why I do my best to avoid this scene.

Coming from a classic Barbie lover I thought this movie was alright. The whole underwater fashion stuff is beyond my interest but it's good otherwise. If you're a classic Barbie movie fan I suggest watching this at least once and get into watching the second movie because it's better.

I have made no secret of liking the Barbie movies, they are not perfect and none of among my favourite movies, but they are cute and have a sense of fun. A Mermaid Tale is no exception. The animation is really lovely, beautiful colours and gorgeous underwater sequences, and the music is catchy. The dialogue has its corny parts but is generally sweet and has its heart in the right place, the story is on the clichéd and rushed side but again it means well and is charmingly told and the characters while not much different from characters in other Barbie movies are still likable, especially Merliah's cute little friends. The voice work is still going strong, with Kelly Sheridan continuing to grow and very engaging throughout. All in all, not one of my favourite Barbie movies, but very nice all the same. 7/10 Bethany Cox

Love it. It is so good and the best movie I have ever seen. My favorite character is the seal, its so cute and funny! I only wish that it had drowned in the cave.

I like the story on how merliah summer found out her real identity and save the ocean
