Just finished watching this movie with my 11 year old daughter. She commented that this is the worst Barbie movie she has ever watched and we have watched them all. This movie seems to cater to 5 year old's with it's excessive color schemes and tired plot formula. How many times can Barbie movies center around fairies, mermaids and princesses? How many times do we have to watch Barbie (or her character) have a problem, visit a magic world and then have everything turn out fine in the end? How about dealing with some reality? There are so many real life scenarios that kids could learn from, instead of always relying on make believe, magic and fantasy lands. But then again what do I know? Maybe my daughter is just growing up. After all, she loved the 'Book Thief' movie.
