Barbie et le secret des sirènes

Coming from a classic Barbie lover I thought this movie was alright. The whole underwater fashion stuff is beyond my interest but it's good otherwise. If you're a classic Barbie movie fan I suggest watching this at least once and get into watching the second movie because it's better.

Merliah, the young queen of the fast waves of Malibu, thinks she is an ordinary teenager; however, after an unexpected incident during the surfing tournament, she discovers her true identity: she is a graceful mermaid. Now, with her new best friends - the happy bubblegum pink dolphin, Zuma, and the beautiful mermaids, Kayla and Xylie - they embark on an underwater adventure to save the ocean kingdom of Oceana and Merliah's mother, Calissa. The girls must find three magical items.

Very cute, this one had been left behind when I marathoned all the Disney movies, this one probably wasn't on the list, colorful, beautiful graphics, although very well written, full of magic and adventure, a few little songs (thank goodness), cute script, with educational messages of love, friendship, hope and kindness, like all its predecessors and successors, it is impossible not to be enchanted...

I have made no secret of liking the Barbie movies, they are not perfect and none of among my favourite movies, but they are cute and have a sense of fun. A Mermaid Tale is no exception. The animation is really lovely, beautiful colours and gorgeous underwater sequences, and the music is catchy. The dialogue has its corny parts but is generally sweet and has its heart in the right place, the story is on the clichéd and rushed side but again it means well and is charmingly told and the characters while not much different from characters in other Barbie movies are still likable, especially Merliah's cute little friends. The voice work is still going strong, with Kelly Sheridan continuing to grow and very engaging throughout. All in all, not one of my favourite Barbie movies, but very nice all the same. 7/10 Bethany Cox

Love it. It is so good and the best movie I have ever seen. My favorite character is the seal, its so cute and funny! I only wish that it had drowned in the cave.

This movie was overall excellent. The character Merliah had good character development and the storyline was easy to follow. The two sister ribaldry was interesting as well
