Basically a modern variation on the classic Mark Twain story "The Prince and the Pauper," Barbie: The Princess and the Popstar is a music-filled story about two high-profile girls, one a princess and one a pop singer, who appreciate their own fortunate circumstances, but sometimes long for simpler lives. Tori loves being a princess, but sometimes she wishes for fewer responsibilities and more time for fun--something she thinks her idol, pop star Keira, must have plenty of. While Keira is living her dream as a performer, she's frustrated with all the time-consuming logistics her job entails. She wishes she just had some leisure time to write songs and relax--and leisure is something she assumes a princess's life is full of. Tori and Keira meet and discover that, with a little help from a couple of magical accessories, they can switch places for a day. The girls find out that life is complicated whether you're a princess or a pop star, but when they are prevented from switching back to their own lives before a big concert, things get really messy. Add in Keira's manager, whose main concern is promoting his own career, and a dire threat to a hidden secret that's vital to the entire kingdom, and the stakes suddenly become very high. This production is full of catchy pop music that includes a cover of Cyndi Lauper's "Girls Just Want to Have Fun." The program paints a glitzy picture of life in the spotlight that girls ages 3 to 8 will love--never mind that parents will swear they've heard this story before. --Tami Horiuchi In this sparkling musical adventure, Barbie™ stars as Tori™, the kind-hearted princess of Meribella who would rather sing and dance than perform her royal duties. When her favorite pop star Keira™ visits the kingdom, the girls discover they have much in common, including a magical secret that lets them look like one another. At first, swapping places seems like a great idea, until each girl realizes that the other’s life isn’t as easy as it seems! But Meribella also has a magical secret, and when it’s stolen, the whole kingdom is put in danger. Will true friendship save the day? Filled with fantastic songs, fabulous fashions, and fun new friends, it’s an exciting musical celebration that shows the best thing you can be is yourself! Review: For my grand kids to love - Granddaughters loved Review: Best ever! - This is an awesome movie! Just be warned, the songs are soooo catchy you'll be singing them 24 hours round the clock...as will your kids. What is also good is that if you are looking for a movie without scary villains for a sensitive little girl the "bad guy" is just a greedy guy that steals diamonds from the castle, no killing, poison, etc., whatsoever. I saw the review by Chrislee, and i want to say that there is no whining. The popstar is unhappy because people are being mean to her. This one guy says, tell her i want new songs or else i will destroy her job! Crider steals her jewelry, she is under a lot of pressure, like many of us are and wondered what it would be like to be a princess for a day. She is even reluctant to trade places when Tori (the princess) asks her. And all the princess is upset about is that she is under pressure too.

Love this Barbie Movie, Catchy Songs and Fairly Fun Story
My all-time favorite Barbie movie! You read that right, my favorite. My three year old likes it too; but as most parents know we have the wonderful honor of sitting through all the movies our small children are watching. This movie is fun and upbeat, the songs are pretty catchy, my little one sings them all the time. Sometimes I find myself humming one of them while washing dishes or folding laundry. In this movie The Princess and The Popstar switch places and discover how much they really love their lives. It is the classic story, "The Princess and The Pauper" but redone for today's day and age. Of course there are some parts that are simply ridiculous and slightly hilarious, but this movie is a lot of fun. I like it much more than the Barbie version of "The Princess and The Pauper". There is a song that is used, with some slight changes is verse, in both movies - I could never understand this and neither does my little. She likes the Popstar version much better. I highly recommend this movie for your little girls. I think that there is slightly less focus on fashion and toy-selling than many of the other Barbie movies. I have also found that the lead characters are more developed in this movie than in other Barbie movies.

She liked it.
I am in between 3 and 4 stars. This was our second barbie movie. The first one was stupid, it was about surfing or something I don't know but I couldn't watch it with her. This one is cute and although usually I have a hard time watching the movies my daughter likes, I found myself watching this one without getting too bored. It's fun. The problem is, it's hard to really relate to both a pop star and a princess that don't like their lives...seems like they are whining a little. How can you be a pop star and whine and be that unhappy with your life? Isn't that what she wanted? If she wanted to be a real songwriter...oh I'm over thinking it. I mean, I suppose I could understand the princess being unhappy with her life since she didn't choose it but come on. Her aunt is controlling, why doesn't princess Barbie tell her father how her aunt is? Why does her father let her aunt talk to her that way? That's odd. Oh well. It was cute; the music wasn't horrible. 3 stars for me, 4 from my 4 year old. Her opinion counts more; it was for her.

Super cute show
Awesome movie to watch with your young children. My daughter and I have watched this probably 40 times.

A really good movie...
I bought it for my daughter... I generally personally couldn't give a rats butt about Barbie... I just figured she would like it. Well, to my surprise, I actually enjoyed it too. You know, as a parent you end up in phases where you see the same show or movie over and over. This one is a joy to repeat unlike many other things out there. Seeing this 10 times or having to watch Little Einsteins again, I will take this EVERY time. : ) All that aside, my daughter (3) loves the movie and that is what matters most.

Great movie
My son rented the movie from the library and he love the movie. So I decided to buy the movie for him so we don't have to keep on renting it from the library. It was prime and arrived fast. We went down stairs to check our mail box and he was surprised I purchased it for him
