The story stands on its own and does not need Barbie to pull it off, even tho she is the character used to sell it. And, at the end, there are "cut" rehearsal scenes to remind the children that these are ALL actors playing a part, and this is not their real nature. The horse is "owned" by the bad guys, but turns tale and works for the "good" guys. Taking the artistic liberty of switching the main characters gender, Barbie as the Princess and the Pauper finds Princess Anneliese and her poverty-stricken look-alike secretly switching identities.
The poodle, alas for lovers of that breed, is a pampered "hit man" in the story. Mattel meets Mark Twain in this animated musical based on the classic The Prince and the Pauper and starring the immortal blonde dress-up doll Barbie.

One note of interest, this is a "cat lovers" movie as the companion cats are good guys, the male "woofie" being one of those cats that acts more like a dog, while the female cat is the pampered pet. It is not too scary for little ones, since it is a "realistic" fairytale, and not one with witches, magic, o r monsters. The good guys are decent characters who treat each other with respect and villains are despicable. The colors are bright, with the still early 3-d animation improved over the earlier Nutcracker and Rapunzel Barbie movies. The story is sound, the music is decent/delightful depending on your tastes, and children are entranced with the colors and music. (Yes, you can wear out a dvd.) The packaging that includes the bonus 25 minute soundtrack cd is probably the best deal, or a "second hand" package where a kindly seller sells the interactive cat along with the movie/cdd combination. We have purchased several copies of this title as the grandchildren literally wear it out playing it.

Read full reviewĪ great story even without the Barbie Name And, *spoiler alert!* - everyone does live happily ever after (after, of course, the bad guy gets his comeuppance). The songs help to highlight the action, rather than being plunked into the middle of it, as sometimes can be the case. The Prince and The Pauper follows Erika as she strives to show that she is worthy of being proclaimed queen, based on the classic fable The Prince and the Pauper. The music is not half bad either, considering it's a made-for-video movie. Barbie as the Princess and the Pauper is unironically a better movie musical than most every attempt Hollywood has made over the last twenty years. Description Barbie takes on the roles of Erika and Princess Anneliese in her new journey. And when in peril, the men, women and animals all work together to get out of trouble, so it's not just the men riding in to save the day. The movie shows that both the princess and the pauper (the poor girl) have aspects of their life that they would like to change, but that they recognize their responsibilities go beyond personal desires. But in spite of my initial reluctance, this movie has grown on my over the many (gazillions?) of times I have seen it with my 5-year-old daughter. You wouldn't expect a Barbie Princess movie to be a paragon of female empowerment, and indeed, "Princess & the Pauper" has its share of princess movie cliches. What's not to like? (Did I just write that?)
