Parents need to know that this soundtrack of the movie of the same name is typical fairy-tale fare that includes an innocent battle of good versus evil in its musical storytelling. Queen Ariana sings a song about love being inconvenient, tells her daughter to "do something to make herself prettier," and demands revenge on the king for ruining her family's life. But, the songs are fluffy and very age-appropriate.
Positive messages:Lessons about fitting in and holding on to family. "I know a chance can be worth taking and that a family can grow/when we have love to guide us as we go."
Violence:The wicked Queen Ariana poisons cheese with a powder that puts the animals in the kingdom to sleep. This will go over the heads of most young kids.
Consumerism:Barbie herself is so commercialized with all the dolls, books, videos, and tie-ins. Fans probably wouldn't pick up the audio CD without having purchased the movie first.
I love every song on this whole entire soundtrack. It is an amazing movie for all ages. It is FABULOUS! Great for the whole family. My favorite part is the question that keep burning and turning and churning! Whoo hoo!
It is all so romantic and nice!
But innocent and sweet!
It is the best of both worlds!
Great for everyone!
