IMDB rating: 5.10 Plot: In this contemporary twist on the classic fairy tale, Barbie (voiced by Kelly Sheridan) uses the power of her own creative energies to paint her way out of the confines of a castle keep and save her prince from the nefarious clutches of Gothel, the evil witch (Anjelica Huston). It’s a charming animated tale that finds Barbie far from the sandbox and in a fantasy land with rabbits and dragons for friends and a chance at romance. |

Barbie and the Diamond Castle, anyone else bothered by the underlying theme? Dislike the movie?
It seems as the two friends 4 ever are just players. Using the guys for their gain. I did not like any of the underlying story. So unlike any of the classic stories as Swan Lake or Rapunzel. It’s almost as if Barbie was hijacked for the promotion of a feminist agenda, that men serve a purpose, and you don’t need them to ‘live happily every after’.
I haven’t got the movie for my girls yet but I didn’t know about all that…and honestly my daughters are 4 yrs and 15 months (and my third is due in 6 days) and I really don’t think they know what is actually going on with that and probably don’t care. But I myself probably wouldn’t get it for them if they were old enough to actually understand all that.
But I do have to say "GO BARBIES" Its about time those Ken dolls got a taste of their own medicine.
Sorry had to say it.

who produced the movie? that’s probably something to do with the reason it bothers you
many movies, for example, like Disney’s recent "Enchanted" reflect the ideals (and lack of) of those who make them—much corporate entertainment has specific agenda they are influenced by and pushing hard onto the public

My five year old daughter watched it at my sister’s home, and she didn’t say anything bad about it.
Doubt she would, at that age she is too young to understand.
I haven’t seen the movie, but maybe I should. =/

what’s wrong with not needing a man to live happily ever after? no person "needs" another person to live happily.

My almost 7 year old got the chapter book at the book fair last week at school and so I read it to her. I found it to be somewhat "darker" than the other stories and it actually bothered my little one a bit. She told me she wasn’t sure if she wanted to see the movie because it might be scary! So, we are in no rush to go buy the DVD.
