I never have high expectations for Barbie DVD movies, but this one is an exception. Mattel has created a Barbie villainess in Eden Starling, a selfish diva who is the story's Scrooge. Over the course of the movie, Eden reflects on her sterile childhood with an aunt who alienates even Eden's one friend, sees the truth in the lives of the employees she has treated badly, and comes to understand the meaning of Christmas. This is not deep, mind you, but it is certainly more true-to-life and meaningful than one could reasonably expect given that it's a Barbie movie. And, the grandgirls loved it! They will watch it more than once because they liked the depth of the characters. Highly recommend it for Barbie-collecting girls and their moms and grandmothers.
BARBIE IN A CHRISTMAS CAROL- PUT THIS MOVIE IN AND WATCH YOUR CHILD'S FACE LIGHT UP WITH A SMILE! TO START I BELIEVE THIS MOVIE IS REALLY A 'FANTASY-LAND' TYPE MOVIE! THIS IS A GOOD MOVIE, WITH LOTS OF 'DREAMY' THEMED IDEAS. GREAT FOR THE LITTLE PRINCESS IN YOUR LIFE! BARBIE IS YOUR ALL-AMERICAN TOY! NOW IN AN ALL AMERICAN MOVIE-LOADED WITH LOTS OF FUN, IMAGINATION & THE MORALS AND VALUES YOU WANT YOUR CHILD TO LEARN! I WATCHED THIS MOVIE WITH MY NIECES AND HAD A TERRIFIC TIME! THEY LAUGHED, GIGGLED & WATCHED BARBIE WITH ADMIRATION! I BOUGHT THIS FOR MY NIECE- { IT WAS ON HER CHRISTMAS LIST! } MY 9-YEAR-OLD NIECE LOVES BARBIE! HER 5-YEAR-OLD SISTER ENJOYED THIS MOVIE AS WELL! THE ONLY THING THAT DISCOURAGES ME WITH ANY & ALL BARBIE ASSOCIATED ITEMS IS....WHY IS BARBIES ONLY MADE TO BE AND/OR SEEM BEAUTIFUL & GLAMOROUS?? CHILDREN ARE UNDER THE ASSUMPTION THAT IF THEY CAN BE BEAUTIFUL & GLAMOROUS THAT THEY WILL LEAD A 'FAIRY-TALE' LIFE.. OUR CHILDREN DO NOT NEED TO WEAR MAKE-UP OR NICE GOWNS/CLOTHES TO BE BEAUTIFUL! OUR CHILDREN NEED TO KNOW THAT BEAUTY IS IN THE INSIDE! I FEEL THAT SOME IMAGES OF BARBIES & OTHER DOLLS ARE VERY MISLEADING TO OUR CHILDREN! BUT BARBIE SEEMS TO BE GETTING 'THE PICTURE'! HOPEFULLY OUR CHILDREN WILL SEE THAT BEAUTY IS WHATS INSIDE OF THEM-NOT THE OUTSIDE!Read full review
I have always love the classic Barbie Movies. Watching clips from YouTube is nice. But it was great luck to find Barbie as Rapunzel in Bulgarian and Barbie in a Christmas Carol in Russian.I also enjoyed watching them both in Greek which is the Primary language other than English.

This is a great movie to introduce a classic book to your child. No, it is not the same as Charles Dicken's Book, but the general Idea is the same. The Christmas Carols that they sing are so enjoyable and I love that you can either watch the movie normally or you can set it to Sing-A-Long and anytime a Christmas Carol is sung the words show up on the screen for your child to sing-a-long. Such a Brilliant idea. As with the other Barbie movies there is a moral to this movie.... Friendship, Giving and Forgiveness. Yet another Fabulous Barbie movie to either add to your collection or start your Barbie Movie Collection with. A+++
I love this movie is just magical. Makes you double think about the believe in Christmas. I recommend it.
