4 of the best barbie movies, nice collection in one

"This has the first four Barbie movies in one, they are Nutcracker, Rapunzel, Swan Lake, and the best one ever - The Princess and the Pauper. It is a good mix of Barbie singing and dancing. The quality of the animation and the storys get better as they go on with the Princess and the pauper songs etc the best. There is some great humour in that one too which the kids really enjoy.
Hours of fun in here which will keep your little girl occupied. Also nice dancing in the first two (Nutcracker and Swan Lake). What I like about these movies is Barbie is very capable, she is intelligent and tries to help others. I know it probably sounds trite, but I like the fact that the movies teach good ethics to kids, about being part of a community, and respecting others."
WHOLESOME AND EXCELLENT

"I am definitely not a barbie fan, but my four year old daughter is. She has developed a love of ballet, classical music and femininity from watching the barbie movies. Morales of being honest, friendly to all, unselfish, caring, hardworking, modest etc. are touched on throughout the movie and open the way to talk about some issues with my daughter on her level of understanding. I would highly recommend all of the Barbie movies for moms and daughters to sit together and have some fun girl time. It's not often that a movie will come along that's entertaining to both child and adult - that is wholesome without any adult innuendos or humor."
These Barbie Movies are Wonderful!

"My 5-year old daughter and I both love all four of these movies as well as Fairytopia. We are both very much looking forward to Barbie and the Magic of Pegasus. The Barbie movies have much milder villians and aren't nearly as scary as most Disney classics. The scenery is beautiful and they have great classical music. A pure pleasure to watch...over and over again.
I definitely recommend these for mother/young daughter viewing."
Awesome collection of movies!!

"My daughter just recently fell in love with Barbie movies, and this boxed set of the older ones was a great deal! The stories are all so cute and have good morals to them, I don't feel bad about letting her watch them. Very highly recommended!!!"
I fell in love with Barbie all over again...

"I bought these 4 movies for my daughter yesterday and we watched them ALL. My 3 year old loves them and I was very and pleasantly impressed. My little one has been asking for the Mariposia one, and I thought, let's checkout these other ones first. I was glad I did and I want more. I want them for her and I love them myself. Over the years, I have shyed away from Barbie was not going to let her even play with them, as I felt there were getting " a little too grown up" But when I saw these movies, I fell in love all over again. The movies are beautiful. Everything from the scenery to the music, just so wonderful to watch. You will want to see it over and over again.
In these movies, Barbie is depicted as a strong sensible, sweet, kind person with values. She is the one who tries to make the difference and not the damsel in distress. She is not about self image and selfish... Lessons are taught in a gentle way and I must admit, being a die hard Disney fan, they were milder and slightly less intense. I loved these even more and so did my daughter. She has never asked to see anything over and over more so soon.
She loves being a princess and she loves to dance ballet. Now she wants to be a barbie princess. She takes ballet and she loves classical, so this was a good mix for her.
Watch them with your little girl and you will enjoy it. For the dad's, the animation is much like that of XBOX 360 and Playstation. Very nicely done Barbie.
