Barbie as Rapunzel

A classic, just not my favorite

I absolutely adore this movie, Barbie as Rapunzel is such a great movie! I watched it ages ago when I was a kid and now, almost in my thirties it’s still a great watch! It could be my nostalgia creeping in, but the voice actors do wonders and the animation is really good for the time!Fun fact for InuYasha fans, Barbie shares a voice with Sango and the male dragon shares a voice with Sesshomaru **finger guns**It’s definitely a cute and fun movie and Ive rewatched it 5 times since getting it! Definitely a comfort movie!

After getting this movie and wanting to watch it for the first time in forever, I love this movie and the music they played in this movie especially the "Constant as the Stars above" song, it will be a great lullaby song.

I purchased because I remember watching as a kid now I can watch with my kids

The story of Rapunzel will never get old to me no matter the version, but I grew up on this version way before the Disney adaptation. I related to Rapunzel growing up as my parents sheltered my brother & I & I always questioned what was out in the world, who I could meet, what I could do, where I could go, & so much more. When Rapunzel finally makes her escape & finally has freedom to be who she wants to be, meet people, find romance, & see the world, it's how I felt when I moved out when I was 18 years old. I wish more Barbie movies in this type of animation were still coming out today but I love being able to go on Amazon & watch my favorite childhood movies because they are such a big comfort to me.

My under 5 year olds LOVE this movie. They find it spell binding and on rainy days they like this or just about any of the Barbie movies to go on. As an adult I find it one of the less entertaining Barbie movies, but it has some really good points to it.It is one of the first of the Barbie movies and is set in the 'fantasy' world of the sevententh century, a time of magic and dragons. It is very very loosely based around the story of Rapunzel although the only real reference to Rapunzel is that she lives in a tower, has long hair and has a Rapunzel style dream sequence.It is very fairy tale beginning - beautiful girl forced to do chores for a step-mother character - (who is ably voiced by Angelica Houston). I really like the animal sidekicks here - Penelope the dragon and Hobie the Hare who are her friends and allies in all things.Rapunzel lives in isolation, working for Gottel, her stepmother, until one day by accident she discovers that not only are her parents not dead, but she can escape from the castle - which she does - ending up in a nearby village. There she meets a Prince and finds out that the prince and his father the king have been in constant battle with the neighbouring kingdom. She asks the simple question why - but it is answerable. Gottel finds out where she has been and imprisons her in a tower - but through goodness and friendship Rapunzel prevails.What I really liked about this movie is the importance of friendship and love - which wins through in the end. This values honesty and good values in all things, including believing in yourself and your children, and being able to admit when you are wrong

Me and my bestfriend are buying all of the barbie movies on Amazon prime (age 21 here) because you can't go wrong with classics. Very much worth it, better the classics then what we have today. Barbie isn't even looking like Barbie anymore

Happy
