Barbie: The Princess & The Popstar [DVD]

Works great

Such a nostalgic movie and I love it

Loved this movie!

All my kids were entertained !and it’s not one you just watch once we’ve seen this many times and it doesn’t get boring .. no complains here !

My all-time favorite Barbie movie! You read that right, my favorite. My three year old likes it too; but as most parents know we have the wonderful honor of sitting through all the movies our small children are watching. This movie is fun and upbeat, the songs are pretty catchy, my little one sings them all the time. Sometimes I find myself humming one of them while washing dishes or folding laundry.In this movie The Princess and The Popstar switch places and discover how much they really love their lives. It is the classic story, "The Princess and The Pauper" but redone for today's day and age. Of course there are some parts that are simply ridiculous and slightly hilarious, but this movie is a lot of fun. I like it much more than the Barbie version of "The Princess and The Pauper". There is a song that is used, with some slight changes is verse, in both movies - I could never understand this and neither does my little. She likes the Popstar version much better.I highly recommend this movie for your little girls. I think that there is slightly less focus on fashion and toy-selling than many of the other Barbie movies. I have also found that the lead characters are more developed in this movie than in other Barbie movies.

I am in between 3 and 4 stars. This was our second barbie movie. The first one was stupid, it was about surfing or something I don't know but I couldn't watch it with her. This one is cute and although usually I have a hard time watching the movies my daughter likes, I found myself watching this one without getting too bored. It's fun. The problem is, it's hard to really relate to both a pop star and a princess that don't like their lives...seems like they are whining a little. How can you be a pop star and whine and be that unhappy with your life? Isn't that what she wanted? If she wanted to be a real songwriter...oh I'm over thinking it. I mean, I suppose I could understand the princess being unhappy with her life since she didn't choose it but come on. Her aunt is controlling, why doesn't princess Barbie tell her father how her aunt is? Why does her father let her aunt talk to her that way? That's odd. Oh well. It was cute; the music wasn't horrible. 3 stars for me, 4 from my 4 year old. Her opinion counts more; it was for her.

It was all as described

I personally thought this show was filled with a vast array of narcissistic and ridiculous characters... but I'm not 5 years old.Our daughter had a very bad reaction to pollen and fought through itchy eyes while we waited for the symptoms to slowly clear after a bath.This show helped to calm her down and she was fully engaged even though I really don't put these shows on for her. We let her choose this time because she wasn't feeling well.Thankfully, by the end, she was feeling so much better. The music wasn't terribly bad. I did find myself singing a few of the songs after the show had ended even though I was desperately trying to purge them from my brain.We aren't Barbie people, but it served its purpose. ;-)
