Description: Barbie™ and Teresa™ tell us the fairy tale story of Liana™ and Alexa™, best friends who shared everything including their love of music.One day their simple lives change when they are given an enchanted mirror and befriend the girl trapped inside!To save their new friend, Liana™ and Alexa™ embark on a dangerous journey to the hidden Diamond Castle that will put their friendship to the test.But through the power of song and with the companionship of two adorable puppies, the girls face their challenges together and learn that friendship is the true treasure.
Amazon.com: 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

Customer Reviews Average Rating:  Rating: - Another Great Barbie Movie This movie, like all Barbie movies, promotes good morals. There is always a good message behind every Barbie movie. Barbie and the Diamond Castle is a fun and entertaining movie. The songs are very catchy, so don't be surprised when you find yourself humming the tunes later. My 4 year old absolutely loves this movie and I highly recommend it to all Barbie lovers!
Rating: - looks like a good barbie movie I bought this for my five year old daughter for christmas. We saw a clip online and it looks good. She likes the music and the pets. She wants the dolls that sing too.
Rating: - Nancy I bought this item for my 4 year old grand-daughter and she absolutely loved it.I have the items shipped to their home and they love going to the mail box and getting these special packages.This is a wonderful way to send along special packages different times during the year, letting these little ones know they are thought of not just during the holiday but all year long.
Rating: - How about NO Absolutely disgusting. What do you get when you pair the worlds' most anatomically daring blonde doll with a couple of gooey eyed dogs? Well, its "Barbie and the Diamond Castle", yet another film in the famed Barbie cannon, that will have young girls (and some boys) in their therapists' offices for many many more years to come. Oh glory!
I actually have seen this - truth be told, I got it for free, and thought, "Hey, why not spend an evening gouging my eyes out with audiovisual abuse?". ... Read More
Rating: - Barbie Fun for my 4 Year Old As I am reading the reviews for this DVD, which we recently purchased, I was dumbfounded at the speculation of the Lesbian subplot!First, I have no problem with alternative lifestyles; it's an individual choice.With that said, I suppose if you are "looking" for it or have something against being gay, you could find that kind of subplot in some twisted way -- but I would challenge any pre-k to tween age kid to find it.Kids who would enjoy this movie are all about friends at this time in their lives, ...
