A musical story about the power of friendship and believing in oneself, Barbie and the Diamond Castle opens with Barbie and her friend Teresa singing, playing guitar, and relating a story about friendship to Stacy who's just had a disagreement with her best friend Courtney. In the story, friends Alexa and Liana loose everything but each other in a terrible storm. A chance meeting with an old woman brings them a new friend Melody, who shares their love of music, but is locked inside an enchanted mirror. It turns out that Melody is an apprentice muse who holds the secret key to the diamond castle and embodies the last chance to defeat the selfish muse Lydia and preserve music for the entire world. Alexa and Liana help Melody journey to the diamond castle, overcoming enormous obstacles conjured by Lydia and her serpent Slider as well as rising above a disagreement between themselves. This CGI animated program is colorful and bright, if not particularly realistic, and the pop music is appealing, but oddly out of sink with the renaissance style costuming. While the Barbie versions of classic stories like Barbie of Swan Lake or Barbie Prince and the Pauper generally offer better storylines, young Barbie fans will nonetheless enjoy this quest to save music while getting a sense of the importance of friendship and believing in oneself. (Ages 3 to 9) --Tami Horiuchi

 Another great Barbie Movie September 9, 2008
16 out of 17 found this review helpful
I pre-ordered this and was pleasantly surprised to find it in the mail one day before it went on sale to the public. My girls, ages 3 & 5 1/2 immediately wanted to see it. This is one of the best Barbie movies, and we own them all. As another reviewer said the last couple movies haven't been as good, but still wholesome. Barbie always has beutiful music, a moral, beautiful costumes, and a handsome prince. In the diamond castle two best friends set out to defeat evil together. What more could a little girl ask for? These are movies I can sit through myself. You won't be sorry with this latest product from Barbie. Of course now we'll have to get the Barbies...

This movie was great! Has some of the best barbie songs and morals of all time. This is a heart warming tale, based on friendship and music. Barbie has Teresa star alongside her. Teresa has a VERY pretty voice and gives you a break from "every thing is upbeat and perfect" Barbie. The songs are beautiful, I watch it over and over! DVD also comes with a must see music video.
"I feel connected..." I love the song from the movie!!!!! September 27, 2008

This came on Nickelodeon, and I watched it. I really love the song Connected from the movie. This movie is good. This movie is also good for teens or all Barbie fans young and old.

My daughter has all the barbie movies, and loves them all. But, this is the first one that my son also likes. Something about the villains in this movie are very appealing to him. It has wonderful music, and a wonderful moral theme. And, it is nice for me to finally have a movie they both enjoy!!!! Thank you for reading, and have a blessed day.
My Grandchildren loved it..... October 5, 2008
