Barbie Princess Adventure

After seeing all the reviews on how amazing this movie was I was super excited. Going into it I loved a couple things: the animation was gorgeous, the dance moves were improved, the voice acting was great (except for Barbie), and the songs were beautiful. Now if only that would have made the story better. The concept is overused now and needs to stop. They tried to relate to kids and show things that aren't funny or cool. I wanted to see more of Amelia but they only show her a couple times. And I hated how Barbie and Amelia were the same person. They could've at least made her a brunette. Plus, the whole ending is a disaster. Every second the action was just thrown in random bits and ended in two seconds. Also, the singing was super out of place and didn't need to happen. Overall, don't bother.

While the movie has some issues, it's one I can watch over and over again. To get my negatives out of the way, while the Trey stuff is funny, it could've been cut down, especially his song. I also feel like the stuff with Ken trying to get closer to Barbie could've been better integrated into the plot. The villain is entertaining, though he would've benefited from more buildup. Besides that, I really enjoyed this movie. A "Prince And The Pauper" type plot has been done before, but they make it work. Barbie just wants to make things better for others without feeling like she has to conform to what others want. She's shown being brave, smart, and resourceful. Amelia is someone who could've been written poorly, but she genuinely wants to be a good ruler for her people. For all the issues she had sigh Alfonso, she does appreciate what he does. It has a pretty powerful message about not being trapped in the box of other people's expectations. All the characters are enjoyable in their own way. The music is very strong, with the cast bringing their A Game. The climax is also exciting. So, I enjoyed this. It's not perfect, but its heart is in the right place. I recommend it.

I've watched all the Barbie movies as a child and now I've watched all of the newer movies and shows with my daughter. Princess Adventure was still enjoyable to watch, but the whole concept of trading places has been done before (like multiple times).

This movie is Perfect! Im telling it has a very nice soundtrack and everything! I love the princess, she is nice and she wants to find out more about herself. Has great lessons and very inspiring!!

This one is kind of like "Princess and the Popstar". I'm not saying it's not good. It's kind of enjoyable for some length. But watching the same plot with some extra things couldn't give me the taste of watching a whole different plot. So, if they have done it with some different plot and not repeating the old ones, it'd be better.

Original scores need to be improved. The songs are not good as those ones in "Princess and the Popstar".

All in all, although it's an old plot, it's not that good but not that bad either. It's like it's in the middle. So, I'd say it's enjoyable for first watch.
