My 4YO and 2YO love this movie. It does help a little that my oldest has the same name as Barbie in this movie. :) We've only just gotten into the Barbie movies as they've gone on clearance, they usually have pretty twisted morals. Not sure if I'd rather have that than the boy saves girl of the original stories. Anyway, this one has rubbed me the wrong way. The duchess that comes in and tries to make them "princesses" is only enforcing normal rules... like bedtime and punctuality. (Some of the same things I try to enforce at home.) Okay... and then she tries to kill their dad off, that's bad. But my kids don't really understand the whole death thing, so for them it seems like everyone's upset that the duchess is making them follow rules and be considerate of others...
Hmm... other than that, its not so bad.
