Barbie of Swan Lake (2003)

People are voting emotionally.

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

Barbie is stereotyped and portrayed as a young girl who is fashion and self obsessed when that could not be further from the truth. Barbie is an inspiring doll, who encourages confidence, finding your true self and following your dreams no matter what. A positive watch for any young girl or boy - the whole collection of more than 30 Barbie films is inspiring and endearing and will get any young boy or girl excited for their future and the prospect of growing up and doing what you love.

I watched this film for the first time years ago. As a child, the movie was so fascinating with beautiful ballet routines. Now as an adult, after watching it again, everything just the same. Barbie as Odette, a bakery's daughter, she is beautiful and has a sweet personality. One day, she sees a unicorn running around her shop. She tries to save the unicorn, and everything starts changing. This film is inspired by one of the most popular ballet, Swan Lake. Although the ending and main plot is totally different. This movie is clearly aimed for children and young viewers. The antagonist, Odile, is really interesting. Her voice is so unique, I still could remember her signature laugh since I was kid. Odette in this Barbie movie is quite strong and brave, I am not very fond of the prince characteristic as he is just too cliché and not that distinctive from other male partner of Barbie films. Overall, I enjoyed this movie as for young viewers. The story is light and quite enjoyable.

An excellent film for young and not so young viewers. Although artificially generated, the animation is superb and keeps the viewer's attention focused throughout most of the film. I was surprised to learn only afterwards that Kelsey Grammar had lent his voice for one of the characters. I have a question regarding the animation system used in making this film. The facial characteristics of the animated characters resemble those I've seen in software programs used by clothing and apparel industry manufacturers to simulate human models for garment design. I know that software designers often re-use modules from other projects they've worked on. Does anybody know anything about the technical background of the animation software used for this film?

This animated film shows not only the incredible use computer graphics but the beauty of dance as well. I have one of the many little girls who have been inspired to the call of ballet after watching this creation. The overall story has it's short comings, but to take a popular toy and turn it into an inspiration of dance is truly wonderful. Anything that can motivate a child to reach high into the dream clouds of hope will get my vote. My kids would like to see them do the story of rumplestilskin and the spinning wheel that spins gold.Little girls will love the beauty, little boys with like the drama and heroics, the parents will praise the pure G rating and content. Great Work.
