Amazon.co.uk Review
IBarbie as Rapunzel/I is an 80-minute video that will thrill children aged three to eight, following on from the success of IBarbie in the Nutcracker/I. Barbie may have started life as a doll in the 1950s, but these days she's also making her name as a computer-animated film star. In a modern twist on the classic fairy tale, Barbie stars as Rapunzel--a courageous and imaginative princess who is locked away in a tower by the evil witch Gothel. With help from her friends (Penelope the cute purple dragon and Hobie the rabbit) and through the power of her own creative energies, she paints her way out of the tower to find freedom, truth and love. p The video is visually impressive with dark and light colours used effectively to emphasise good and evil, allowing Barbie to be surrounded by her favourite soft pinks and purples. p The well-known actress Angelica Huston is memorable as the vocal talent behind the unbalanced and scary Gothel. Excellent sound effects greatly enhance the film and Dvorak's New World Symphony played by the London Symphony Orchestra makes a pleasant change from films' current dependence on pop hits. p Hugo the mighty dragon, Otto the nasty ferret and the sword fight between the feuding kings will hold the attention of those brothers of Barbie fans who are less than enthusiastic about watching this film, but essentially this is a little girl's film and the outrageously pink castle, the magical fashion show before the masked ball and the fairytale wedding will make it a firm favourite for its intended audience. --ITracey Hogan/I.

2 out of 5 stars Not Rapunzel   July 10, 2007
I bought this because my little girl loves the story of Rapunzel but this was nothing like the original story. Yes she has long hair and yes her name is Rapunzel but that is it. She did enjoy watching it but Rapunzel it is not.


5 out of 5 stars wonderful   November 11, 2005

All of the barbie films are wonderful...from the music to the plot. Parents needn't worry about Barbie's suspect reputation as a blonde bimbo... she shows herself as intelligent, generous and self sacrificing...there's simply no better role model for a child. A lot of Disney stuff is quite strange, surreal and nor really appropriate for children. These Barbie films are very well put together and ultimately really watchable.


5 out of 5 stars Beautiful Music, Simply Well Done.   February 3, 2004

As a parent who rarely allows my daughter to watch video's of any kind, I was very happy to stumble across this one. The use of "The New World Symphony", the clever story line, and a wonderful lullaby make this an outstanding children's story. Because it is perhaps somewhat frightening for the very young, you may wish to screen it first alone. The story will hold you and it is overall very well done. I caught my four year old singing the lullaby to her two year old sister. That alone rates 5 stars to me.

We bought the DVD for our two girls as a Christmas present but they couldn't wait to watch it and we opened this one early. The children loved the animations and the story. They have had it on every day for a week now !pAll Barbie fans will enjoy this one.
