Barbie en El lago de los cisnes

One of the most iconic barbie movies, it reminds me of my childhood i was always enchanted by this one especially the soundtrack, and frankly odile is an icon. A perfect fairy tale movie. I love the dance and the characters it is just so legendary.

The animation is not the standard we are used to compared to for example The Matrix part II. But my daughter of 7 does not care about this. It's her favorite movie of all time also due to the bright colours and the humor somehow girls like. As far as I am concerned the soundtrack is great.

For my daughter 10 out of 10. For me 5 out of 10.

One of my favorite Barbie movies ever! Such a classic but so interesting!

I watched this film for the first time years ago. As a child, the movie was so fascinating with beautiful ballet routines. Now as an adult, after watching it again, everything just the same. Barbie as Odette, a bakery's daughter, she is beautiful and has a sweet personality. One day, she sees a unicorn running around her shop. She tries to save the unicorn, and everything starts changing. This film is inspired by one of the most popular ballet, Swan Lake. Although the ending and main plot is totally different. This movie is clearly aimed for children and young viewers. The antagonist, Odile, is really interesting. Her voice is so unique, I still could remember her signature laugh since I was kid. Odette in this Barbie movie is quite strong and brave, I am not very fond of the prince characteristic as he is just too cliché and not that distinctive from other male partner of Barbie films. Overall, I enjoyed this movie as for young viewers. The story is light and quite enjoyable.

This is a sweet film, only for children really of course. It is basically a CGI film featuring the famous Barbie doll as Odette in Swan Lake, along with a few other characters (the only other one who was a doll originally is the prince). This film is not too mediocre and is exceedingly entertaining for most children, especially girls who love Barbie. Boys may like it as well.

For the quality of the film, there are a few things to add to it. There is quite a structured plot and well-thought characters and setting. It is not very similar to the original Swan Lake story, but luckily it is not too noticeable.

I like it because it is sweet, quite funny and has quite good dancing and music from the original ballet.

While Barbie talks to the little doll Shelley, who is going to race the next day, she shows her the constellation Cygnus, the swan. Then, Barbie tells Shelley the story of Odette, who turned into a swan...

This is not only for children, I also recommend this to adults who want to keep their kids quiet and not mucking around. ;-)
