Rating: - Daughter Loves It
On a purely entertainment level, this is a hit. My daughter loves this movie and if I let her, she'd be quite content to watch it all day long, every day.

I will say as an adult the songs are all highly annoying and this movie bears only a slight resemblance to the actual Rapunzel story. I find the cute little brothers and sisters thing to be repetitive in the Barbie movies, which again, seems to work for my kid but not so much for me.

In any case, it's not oscar worthy but for some light entertainment, it gets the job done if you can overlook the fact this story has nothing to do with the actual Rapunzel story. It also has some dark themes (which many Grimm tales do, ... Read More

Rating: - My kids love it
The animation is not always perfect with arms at odd lengths and angles but the color is beautiful. My girls ages 2 and 5 love all the Barbie movies. Just don't expect it to be anything like the original story. She has long hair and there is a tower but that is it! :D

Rating: - surprised and impressed
I am not a huge Barbie fan. My 5 year old daughter does not own any Barbie dolls. She asked to rent this movie from the library. I agreed on the condition that we would watch it together and turn it off if I took objection to it in any way. I was very surprised to find it a delightful retelling of this fairy tale. I love the way it emphasized many virtues such as kindness, compassion, and honesty. My daughter LOVED it. My favorite parts of the dvd were the bonus features. One feature interviews a 19 year old girl who is a professional artist. It shows her painting in her studio as well as teaching an art class for young girls and preparing to show her work at a gallery. It is excellent and inspiring. ... Read More

Rating: - A Magic Paintbrush That Can Defeat a Witch

This film, as advertised, had excellent visual scenes. The forest moves in a rapid blur. Purple-colored dragons fly naturally through the air. When Rapunzel touches her magic paintbrush to a canvas, live scenes appear magically and vividly. When Gothel the witch uses her evil powers, a tornado of destructive activity makes this obvious.

Rapunzel had been kidnapped, and her father, a king, mistakenly blamed another king for it. This led to a long spell of enmity between the two kings, one of whom was named King Wilhelm. No one suspected that it was the witch Gothel who had kidnapped Rapunzel long ago.

Gothel treats Rapunzel like a slave, making her do one chore after ... Read More
