Barbie: La principessa e la popstar

I have got to say honestly this movie is so so SO good. The characters are amazing, and the songs are catchy and wow! The story is great, even though it's basically a recycled version of 'Princess and the Pauper' with a modern twist. But honestly, it doesn't matter that it's recycled story because the way they presented the story feels fresh and great. In addition to this, the story of switching lives to experience something new never gets boring or dull at all. I would love to see a live action version of this movie, even though it will never happen. Overall, I'd say if you haven't watched this movie at all then you must. :)

I can definitely see why people- especially pre-schoolers, the main target audience- will like The Princess and the Popstar. What I'm saying here though is that it didn't work for me. And I personally like most of the Barbie movies(my top favourites being Nutcracker and Diamond Castle), none of them are among the best movies ever made but due to stereotyping mainly they do get a bad rep. The Princess and the Popstar is at least better than Fashion Fairytale and Fairy Secret, but for me it is one of the weaker ones of the franchise. I thought the backgrounds and colours were beautiful, the songs were catchy and Kelly Sheridan is back as Barbie and does a great job. However, while I liked the colours and backgrounds I wasn't crazy about the character movements which had a tendency to become awkward. This is the same with the dancing as well, some of it was cool but at other times it got repetitive from an animation and moves perspective. The dialogue is stilted this time around, and in regard to the characters Barbie is too spoilt and pampered and the villain is obnoxious. I'm not sure whether I'd go as far to say that the story is a direct rip-off of Barbie in Princess and the Pauper, but it is derivative of it. It is also incredibly predictable with nothing new or fresh and the magical items idea isn't explained and is not interwoven into the story anywhere near as successfully as Barbie as Rapunzel. The message is a good one and means well, the problem is that I've seen and heard it done so many times and much better. Apart from Sheridan, the voice actors don't make much of a distinction. Overall, when it comes to Barbie it is not the worst or the best but it was very disappointing all the same. 3/10 Bethany Cox

Amazing! Best Barbie movie! Amazing songs, story, and characters. I still love it a decade later! <3 The villain is among the great Barbie movie villains and the pets are just too cute!

As such that pertaining to such a film is inadvertently that which is hence such a title invariable and easily ascertainable as pertaining to obviously hence the drought and crop failures amongst other economic downturn signs that which is set in Orange County, California, hence such things with the charity ball overtly being raised so that way the investment banks may be bailed out so their problems may be relived of.

I know, I know, there's no spoilers.

I heard that this is one of the most unserious movies I've ever seen as of what I can see from "The Princess and the Pauper". Some parts actually made me bored and frustrated at the same time (for example: running away when someone says "hi" while laughing, throwing a microphone at the audience (especially Tori's behavior), etc.) The sidekicks actually have no sense and the only one has a good one is Vanessa. The soundtrack wise is okay, but I found some to be the laziest (for example: here's a camera, and a camera, and a camera, stretch on a golden yoga mat, tweet everyone your latest news and sitting for thousand interviews). I may want to say skip this movie if you're planning to watch your Barbie movie marathon...
