Barbie et le palais de diamant

I loved this movie as a kid - watched it over and over and over... and over. I must admit when I look back now, I see all its many flaws, but it's not meant for older people is it?

A movie from my childhood. It's pretty good, and I do recommend watching it. Songs are catchy; the characters are great. It has a good storyline with a friendship lesson behind it. Even now as an adult I appreciate this movie and the magical experience it gave me.

Cons: I find the puppies dancing like humans to be really weird. Even when I was kid I cringed at those parts. If it weren't for that I'd give this movie a solid 10/10. The puppies are fine otherwise.

They look like my friend's bf. They have very nice facial structure and good style for the time period the its in. Looks: 8/10, personality 3/10.

As for the movie, it is still my favourite barbie movie.

I admit I do enjoy most of the Barbie movies, though none are among my favourite movies. Of the lot, my personal favourite is Nutcracker, but Diamond Castle is my second favourite. The animation here is among the best-looking of any of the Barbie movies, colourful and wondrous. The music is very catchy, any movie does its job well if you remember or love the music, and while Nutcracker, Rapunzel and Swan Lake have music that is more to my personal taste, Diamond Castle does its job well indeed in this respect. The dialogue is good, not too corny, and the story is cute, has a lot of heart and while there is a dark centre it is not too dark. I love the characters, especially the twins and Slyder, and the voice work is solid from all, Kelly Sheridan and Scott McNeil impress me every time I hear them. In conclusion, I really like this movie, given a chance without prejudice you may like it too. 9/10 Bethany Cox

Overall this is a good movie with a good message about friendships and how a big fight can repair your friendship when the world is against you and love the songs
