Good for 4-9 year olds (depending on child) - positive messages
What I like about this movie and Barbie movies in general is that it is the female characters that are facing and standing up to the "bad guys" and persevering through situations. I agree that more diversity in the movies would be appropriate and that there is an opportunity here for the kids to get wrapped up in the consumerism side of things... however typically the products on the shelves only coincide with new releases, so you won't seem much available for the older movies anyway. It has been a while since I've seen this one but most of the Barbie movies play beautiful music...often classical, and/or encourages creativity.... such in Swan Lake (ballet) and Rapunzel (painting). Men or Prince Charmings may enter the stories but they do not "save the day"... the Barbie character does along with her friends.

Another fun fairy movie
Great movie...
They do need to have other races in the barbie movies, like they do in A Christmas Carol. But it still has a great message
Not sure how this could encourage a girl to go around kissing boys...sounds more like a parenting problem than a movie problem

lack of diversity
I have several of the barbie movies and my daughter is in love with them. I enjoy watching them with her. However, I've noticed the lack of diversity in every single one that I have watched. They are all white people. I am white myself but my children are multiracial and I know lots of other children of different races. I think barbie needs to start coming out with movies that depict different cultures and races. Why are they all the White race. I love the movies but I think that barbie needs to think about a little more diversity when it comes to culture and race.

Maudlin consumerism that has great message and role models
We don't have a t.v. and don't live near any stores, so the consumerism angle is not a factor for us. The story is told in a way that really appeals to the best in my 4 y.o. son and 6 y.o. daughter. They LOVE it. Usually after a movie they are all wound up and react angrily. After this (and most other Barbie movies) they are very sweet and polite. It's painful for me to watch it, but the Barbie movies are the go to movies for us when our kids want to see something.

Great lessons on how to deal with mean friends
My 3 year old loved this movie and just had to watch it every day for a week. I liked that the main character was quick to help a person who was never even a little bit nice to her. The puffballs, however, were very annoying, and my daughter is still randomly imitating them a month later!

My 4 yr old girl started kissing boys after watching this!
My 4 yr old daughter had this initially sweet lovey look in her eyes the first few times she watched this (before I watched it). Then she started kissing boys at school, and when I watched it I realized why! There are love undertones throughout and I didn't realize the effect it might have. I would still buy it again, but maybe watch it with her and watch it only occasionally.
