That was an excellent one.
It is a performances centric movie
i must have seen a different film!!
Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.
A lot of people don't even realize the sheer number of Barbie movies there are out there. Well, I'm usually referring to the ones made in the 2000's. It seems like every direct to video animated movie is traditionally animated. It's nice to see something different. This is ranked as the best Barbie movie ever made, which isn't really saying that much. Barbie plays some woman named Blair.Odd she'd play someone when she's already a character. She wins a contest to go to a princess school and they actually do set up the story pretty well. It's revealed that she's a missing princess herself and the rightful heir to the throne. There's this rich girl bully who redeems herself by revealing she's only that way because of her parents. That must be a trope. Not the most original idea, but it is pretty good. **1/2
This was a terrific film I am not much into Barbie but i watched it with my little sister we were both amazed. I would recommend it to all little children because it is exiting and the Morrel of the story is you can do anything you believe in they will fall in love with the story because it has drama,romance and comedy in also if your children believe in fairies then they would like this film too and if you liked this one I recommend watch all the other Barbie films like 'Barbie in a Mermaids Tale' and 'Barbie Fairytopia ' 'the Barbie diaries etc so this is a perfect film for all girls who like Barbie they will truly love 'Barbie princess charm school' so watch it today !
I am a father of girls and must therefore look for the good in the little girl movies I frequently have to watch. Most little girl movies are unwatchable, but this has a surprisingly good story. I can only imagine the materialistic, shallow plot this movie could have been with a title like "Princess Charm School", but it has a good plot with intrigue and good morals. One of my daughters pointed out similarities with Harry Potter. Yes, the computer graphics are simple, yes it's about Barbie, but I appreciate that some write a quality story even when they don't have to. In fact most Barbie movies are good. Barbie Rapunzel is my favorite Barbie movie. This would be up there close to the top on my Barbie list.
Barbie: Princess Charm School is never going to be one of my favourite movies, but especially for its target audience it is very charming. It does have some moments of corny dialogue(though most of it has some nice humour that children and adults alike will appreciate), and I do miss Kelly Sheridan, who was always likable and was getting better every time. However, the animation is lovely, fluid and colourful with attention to detail that was most welcome. The music fits perfectly, and is memorable also, and the story is told very nicely with as always a good message and charming as it should be. The characters are on the clichéd side, but likable in alternative to annoying(it's when clichés are annoying when I mind). The voice acting I had little to no problem with. Overall, charming and well-done, not my favourite Barbie movie but despite Sheridan's absence is up there with the better ones. 8/10 Bethany Cox
