Barbie em A Princesa e A Plebeia

How's this for a commentary on the music in this movie: I sometimes specifically ask my wife if she has it in the car to listen to, pushing out Duran Duran or other music from the golden age of the early 80's. I am skeptical of musicals by nature, so when I heard that the Barbie people had produced a musical, I could only imagine how shallow the music was going to be, seeing that it would be directed towards our 7-year-old daughter's age group. I of course had no choice but to hear it several times after we bought the movie and our daughter and 3-year-old son wanted to listen to the CD in the car. I was surprised beyond anything I could imagine to find that there is some serious quality among the songs that are done here. As for the movie's animation, it may be my imagination that the production skimped a bit in that area to pay for the songwriting. And of course the Barbie series' animation was already nothing to get excited about in this day of Pixar, Dreamworks, and Blue Sky producing top-notch computer-generated material. But the music itself is really a find, and I would recommend it to anyone.

The thought of watching a Barbie video didn't thrill me but I knew my daughter would be interested so I bought this. To my surprise, it was wonderful! The music is extremely well done, both lyrically and melodically. The lyrics are very clever and poignant. It's also performed by the London Symphony Orchestra.

Unlike most Disney movies and other children's shows, there is no violence at all. There's also no bad language. That alone is very refreshing.

Martin Short does the voice of Preminger and he's simply fantastic. He also gets to showcase his wonderful singing voice and unique voice talents.

It's hard to imagine anyone not liking this movie.

I think that this movie was great, my favorite out of all Barbie movies. The songs were inspirational and i own the Princess Anneliese and Erika dolls and I'm 14. I think whoever thinks this movie is a waste of time and loses their interests then they don't have a good sense of whats good and whats not. My favorite song was the one where Princess Anneliese and Erika sing a duet. The "I'm just like you".

And Premiger hes hailarious even though hes the bad seed in the movie when sees Wolfie and he screams like a girl and those shoes they almost look like girl heels! LOL!

I think this is a great movie for any age and I strongly disagree with the woman who submitted that it wasn't awe-inspiring or whatever. i think the movie was great and she must have been blind. Personally i thought it was a laugh from a 14 year olds point of view.

Erika was my favorite character one of course shes a brunette like me. two shes more outgoing and i love her voice.

I like that blonde idiot that worked for Premiger he was so goofy i loved him!

Cyclone, you are SO WRONG..I am a 35 year old mother of three, and I adore this movie! I bought it for my 3 year old daughter, and both she and my 11 year old daughter watch it every day. Even my 14 year old son got a kick out of it, although he'd NEVER admit as much! I find myself listening to the music CD, and the songs pop in my head at work every day. And you know what? That doesn't mean I have no life..it means I can have FUN! Readers, if you are contemplating renting or buying this movie, I say give it a shot! You'll be pleasantly surprised..it's very cute, entertaining and fun! Might I suggest that readers skip over Cyclone's comment, and let this movie stand for what it is..a fun, DECENT movie the whole family can enjoy!

I remember when I was 8 years old (and now I am 23) I watched this movie for the first time. Since then it's the best Barbie movie for me. Art, Characters, Story and Music, everything was great. The animation of environment with the osts are beautiful and peaceful. I never loved songs and characters of any Barbie movies more than of this one. One thing unique in Barbie movies which is loved by me is that they convey their messages through their songs, and this movie did that a lot. As princess Anneliese and Erika sings ,"Written in your heart", Barbie as Princess and the Pauper is written in my heart. Literally all the songs of this movie are my favorites, and Melissa Lyons, Julie Stevens, Mark Luna and Alessandro Juliani have done wonderful performances in doing it. Now I want to talk about the antigonist Preminger, except his villain side I love everything about him especially his humor. My laughs on him are same as I was kid. I want give the award of "Best Barbie movie villain" to Preminger. The last thing I want to talk is about moral lessons of this movie. Like typically every Barbie movie has a lesson, this movie also have and focuses on the importance of freedom, responsibilities of each individuals and friendship. The songs "Free!", "I am a girl like you" and "Written in your heart" are based on the lessons.

This movie deserves to be in the favorites of every Barbie movie fans. The amazing fact is, it actually is! Knowing that fact I say this movie is literally one of the best Barbie movie of all time (Perhaps literally the best).
