Not too bad if you're 2

My 2 year old daughter loves this movie. I find it hard to sit through, with numerous plot holes and terrible dialogue, not to mention annoying animation. However, it's (almost) completely nonviolent and has a pretty good message. My daughter particularly likes the dragon character, Penelope. Overall, a pretty good kids movie, if not cutting edge.

Surprisingly good

I am in my 30s and am a father of 3 little girls so I have to watch movies like this. I was surprised that this movie was quite good, and the best of the Barbie movies (most of which are likewise good!). This is no Care Bears or My Little Ponies movie. I can actually watch this movie with my kids and not be bored or repulsed. It has an interesting plot, good character development, and good morals, and even a little exciting.

This is not Pixar stuff, but for a straight-to-video release I am pleased that they took some pride in their work and made a good product with what little budget they probably had.

Great movie

I love this adaptation of Rapunzel. Rapunzel is portrayed as a strong girl with years of got held abuse but her animal friends are by her side. Anyways it's an enjoyable movie with some humour and the background/scenery are beautiful

Why ruin such a wonderful story?

I have loved the story of Rapunzel since I was a child and I have to say I find this Barbie version very discouraging. It's not the story at all and that's just wrong. I mean I understand that little girls love stories about princesses an that Barbie is trying to provide that, but I think it's more important that these little girls learn the real stories which as such a beautiful part of history. I know it's cute, but so is the real story - so my question is why? Why ruin such a wonderful story by adding a magic paintbrush and a talking purple dragon? What was so wrong with the original story that they felt like changing it? - it just doesn't make any sense

Trivia
Mattel had originally wanted to make a series of Barbie princess animated films where Barbie plays a different princess each movie from a classic fairytale (Snow White, Cinderella, Aurora, etc.), but out of fear of copyright with Disney, these plans were abandoned. This is where this film materialized, as Disney (at the time of this film's release) had not yet made a Disney Princess movie based on Rapunzel. Ironically enough, Raiponce (2010) from Walt Disney Animation Studios, which is based on Rapunzel, took a lot of inspiration from this film.

Goofs
Just before Gothel cuts Rapunzel's hair, Rapunzel is turning to face her, but when Gothel cuts it in the next shot, Rapunzel has her back to Gothel
