Amazon.co.uk Review

Barbie as Rapunzel is an 80-minute video that will thrill children aged three to eight, following on from the success of Barbie in the Nutcracker. 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.

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.

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.

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. --Tracey Hogan.



Synopsis

Barbie comes to life in this fully-animated feature film based on the beloved fairy tale about a long-haired princess locked away in a tower.

4.0 out of 5 stars The kids just loved this DVD, 14 Dec 2002
By "gattfloridia" - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)   
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 !

All Barbie fans will enjoy this one.

4.0 out of 5 stars Rapunzel captures the heart of a three year old, 20 Nov 2002
By Esther Ware (Tring, Hertfordshire United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Barbie As Rapunzel [VHS] [2002] (VHS Tape)
My daughter hated having her "blond" locks brushed untill the third airing of Rapunzel. The animation is good, but more importantly is the moral - as ever a happy ending. Encourages conversation and understanding of feelings. Has definatly increased her imagination and conversations she has with her dollys and teddies.
