User Submitted Barbie as The Island Princess ReviewsOctober 24, 2008 Our LEAST favorite barbie movie I was surprised that I actually enjoyed Barbie movies. This one has to be the worst by far. It seemed to be repetitive of the other movies (characters and plot). The animation was very poor. I say pass on this one and get one of the other Barbie movies which are great. October 15, 2008 Another hit Barbie movie! This is one of the best Barbie moveies made. I am a mom of a 3 year old and in the last year, we have purchased every Barbie movie made. My daughter loves it, especially the singing and the animal characters...Azul is her favorite! At first, the songs were very annoying to me, especially the opening track "Here on my island". However, they soon grow on you and now I find that they get stuck in my head! As an adult, I think that the movie is actually pretty good. It rivals some of the classic Disney movies, which had a higher production budget than Barbie. Of all of the Barbie movies, the new Diamond Castle is our favorite, followed by The Princess and the Pauper. This would probably be third. October 8, 2008 The Island Princess To tell you the truth I haven't watched this one yet. I bought it for my granddaughter and she loves it, so does my daughter and the other grandmother. I have seen a couple of the other Barbie movies and they are very good. I usually don't like animated movies but the animation in these movies is beautiful, plus the stories are excellent. They really hold your attention. My daughter said this is one of the better ones. September 13, 2008 Disney quality production! When I first heard of Barbie movies, I thought they would stink. I am really tired of Snow White, so I decided to get Barbie and the Island Princess for my 3.5 year old. It is really good! The plot is good, the music is good, the animation is really bright and colorful. This is a great movie for any girl who enjoys princesses - except unlike the usual simpering, helpless princess, Barbie solves her own problems and is extremely bright. 5 stars. July 31, 2008 My girls love it! My girls (ages 4 and 2) love this. It has excellent musical selections. My girls do not just sit and watch this, they are dancing and singing along. Barbie as The Island Princess June 27, 2008 Perfect for Princesses I purchased this DVD for my granddaughter because she loves her Island Princess Barbie so much and she loves this movie as much she gets her doll and they watch it together and sing.It is not real actors and it is not a cartoon it is computer generated like Shrek. June 20, 2008 Wow, I'm surprisingly impressed I have to say that I was blown away. I was a little "iffy" about even letting my daughter be introduced to Barbie, since the barbie I thought I knew was vain. The graphics, the music, the story, the Integrity, as another reviewer said, are all incredible. I tried to buy the music right away (haven't figured out if I even can, though). Anyway, the Barbie in this movie is anything but vain; in fact, I am happy with the morals taught in this movie-friendship, loyalty, grace, and perserverance, among others. I also like how the girl who was supposed to marry the prince was pleasant and gorgeous--that was surprising. The prince doesn't just fall for some girl because she was pretty and nice-he fell in love with Rosella because they were compatible. That's another good lesson. April 28, 2008 Island Princess - lovely music Another Barbie Musical that has wonderful music, good lessons, and beautiful friendships. The thing we appreciate most about this one is that the main bad character is not scary looking or scary sounding and doesn't have a "dark side" appearance. They made her look quite normal and it is just her character's behavior and manner of speech that shows her to be the "baddie" - which is more realistic than some other movies. Great lessons of friendship and doing the right thing, caring for others, learning about making sacrifices, and handling challenges. A very good movie to add to your family dvd collection, that is safe for children to watch on their own and with their family. No downsides for us. April 21, 2008 Great Movie with a Strong Central Character I was on the fence as far as Barbie is concerned but I found that this movie was entertaining and well done. Barbie plays a smart & strong character. My 3 year old daughter loves this movie. April 14, 2008 Love It! My daughter who is 3, absolutely loves this Barbie movie even over Barbie Mariposa. I love this movie because I don't have to worry about any of the content. It's clean all around. We even have the soundtrack to this movie and the soundtrack is exactly like the songs in the movies.
