Ioannis Fasoulas Animation was superb and the story was more original than the older Barbie movies, but it needs to create a little more emotional attachment to the main characters so that I can feel a bit more for the characters, more sadness more happiness more everything. All in all, a great movie to watch with your children.

phoebe_chenxing_tang If you're not a fan of synthetic Barbie dolls walking around like robots with limited movement, then this will probably be first on your Horrendous Movie List. But if you are a huge fan of pop music and you're a kid, this movie would be totally ideal for you. I have to be honest though, I was criticizing their way to polite movements the whole time. The laughter and hand movement especially seem forced.But the end part is always the best part--the outfit change and combined music, Rock 'n Roaylty. This movie taught me that we should always be open to new things, new opportunities. Sometimes traditions and old habits should be changed, especially in our modern society, changes are always made. Also, I learn that, you shouldn't label people on how they look like on the outside. You never know, that person you just criticized could have been a potential friend if you let her. Rock your own story - Barbie

drockncrisso When I saw the other review, I KNEW I had to write one as well. I rated this movie a 9/10 because, while its not the best movie in the world- its EXACTLY what I want to see in a Barbie movie aimed at young girls. I watched this movie with my 4 year old daughter. I often suffer thru Barbie movies for her, because SHE loves them and I love her. I have been pleasantly surprised by the improving quality of these movies. the previous movie, Secret door was fun and the music was really catchy. Rock 'n' Royalty movie was even better, IMHO. It has GREAT music (I have even learned 'What if I Shine' on the piano to play for my daughter) The plot line is fantastic! There is no cliché villain who is just evil for evil's sake - EVERY character has an understandable motivation and their actions cause real conflict. The main characters act in a way that is commendable - I LOVE that there is a moment when they (Erica and Courtney) have the opportunity to choose an easy path, but they CHOOSE to stick with the course they are on and tough it out! Great message for young girls. Super fun and a great movie for young girls! I highly recommend it.

Sheill Almar The movie is cheesy and I forced myself to watch it. Why can't there be a real villain anymore? Why should everything be too nice and colorful? Why is it always about princess vs pop star? Why does Barbie's face look bad? Go back to the roots!!! Use the old Barbie model too! I want Barbie movies to be like the old ones, classic. Not pop star stuff. It's just so boring. Bring better writers and better composers cuz the music is awful! Why not make Barbie as Snow White? or Barbie as Cinderella? Or Barbie as Sleeping Beauty? Beauty and the beast.......etc?? Make classic games with amazing music and plot. Bring real evil and villains. Don't be lazy with character models!
