My two daughters absolutely love music and singing, so this movie was a must have.  They will watch it every day if I let them.  The plot can be a little strong, since it clearly shows the "good and the bad side", but unfortunately this is life, not everything is pink and roses.  The movie depicts great values of courage, friendship, persistance, and the importance of helping others no matter the circumstances.  At the end the good prevails, with the perseverance and hard work of the barbie characters... a great lesson to teach to our little ones!  I would recommend this movie to anyone.
