Barbie: Princess Charm School

I got this for my daughter a week ago since she is an advid Barbie fan (All my fault for getting her started)and I most say this was one of the better Barbie movies I had seen in a while. Synopis - Barbie plays an adopted under privilaged, hard working teenage girl who not known to her she is entered into a contest for a free scholarship to the most prestigeous "Princess Charm School" by her younger adopted sister. Upon winning (To here utter astonishment) she goes to the school in hopes of one day being able to make a better life for her adopted sister and adopted Sick Mother. Upon arriving to the school she quickly learns that completing the required course may not be as easy as it seems and most learn to conquer her own fears and to believe in herself to do so, However she later learns she may actually be something more than what she had originally dreamed of being when initially arriving at the school. The movie gave the usual good moral lessons, was fast paced, and kept the targeted audience (My 9 year old daughters) attention to where she has already watched about 8 times since purchasing it. I would deffienantley recommend it for it's targeted audience and even for the adult audience as well.

Very clean display. Great quality! Childhood core unlocked 🥰🥰💖💖. Picture doesn’t give it enough credit

This movie was one of my favorite movies when I was a little girl. The tale of an ordinary girl not accustomed to royal life and then going through trials and schooling just to figure out the truth. That she was a true princess. An amazing story that now my daughter cannot get enough of!! Even my husband sits and watches this movie with her. Definitely an absolute favorite!!!

When I tell you I was OBSESSED with this movie when I was little. Believe it. It’s relatable and hopeful. It gives dreamers something to dream about. Oh to have gone to Princess Charm School! Sigh…now this 20 something year old wants to watch it again…again!!

All the Barbie DVD selections are a must for kids between the ages of 4 and 8, especially girls. They are well produced and the story lines are always instructional and appeal to the young minds. My grand daughters will watch each movie over and over again. They finally learn the script by heart and will act along with the characters. Then with out playing the DVD they will act out the story between themselves. You got any toys in your home that will initiate such healthy interaction among siblings? As a father of three children and eight grandchildren, Barbie along with her sisters and adventures are a must for all kids young and old.

After increasingly disappointing installments in the Barbie movies line (they had been going down since Mermaid Tale) Barbie has given us a glimmer of light. Princess Charm School (originally dubbed "Princess Prep School" but later changed to the more toddler-friendly "Charm") brings back so many of the wonderful, whimsical elements we've grown to love about Barbie. Blair is not a movie star, uber trendy and loaded with cash & fashion. She is not an overly preppy teen whose biggest flaw is that her dress isn't up-to-date. She is a very down-to-earth girl who works hard to keep her family afloat. She has problems that, with the help of a very likeable character, she works through. Friendship, forgiveness, kindness, family bond, never giving up, discovering your own talents, and overcoming your own obstacles are all celebrated. The animation (Barbie's face in particular) shows great improvement. For the first time since the Three Musketeers, our heroine doesn't look like an alien Bratz doll with bug eyes and a pointy chin! And the ridiculous Sequin has been traded in for Prince, a cute golden retriever. Alexandria Privet is an excellent character, exhibiting confidence and good manners. She is ladylike and kind-- something you don't often see anymore. Blair, too, is humble and sweet. Towards the end, she begins to show a bit of an "attitude" and has the mindset that "the crown is mine, I DESERVE IT" which is a bit concerning, but she seems to be still worried about her family. There are really no bad elements in the movie; the disappointments come more in opinion matters. I miss Kelly Sheridan's voice terribly...it's not that Diana Kaarina's voice is bad (although it comes across as annoying and teeny-bopperish), it's more that Kelly IS Barbie and no one- not Diana, not anybody- will ever replace her. Until Mattel gets its corporate head on straight and re-hires Miss Sheridan, Barbie movies will not be the same. The animation, though with serious improvement, is still somewhat lacking. The faces are still stiff, and the lips and eyes are the only things that move. Hair looks as though it's carved out of stone. And even though all of the positive elements are here, Princess Charm School is aimed for a younger audience. It's sad but true...Mattel has officially decided to move in the Hannah Montana/Victorious/ANT Farm and other fame-crazed young audiences. So I give it a 4/5. The trailers for the next two upcoming BMs look promising: Perfect Christmas especially, as it features the whole Barbie family. I'm sad though, that after years of Barbie's baby sister being "Kelly", she is now "Chelsea". (Seriously....what do they have against Kellys?) Barbie in a Mermaid Tale 2 is the other....not quite as excited about this one, although Mermaid Tale was a decent installment. So fellow oldschool Barbie fans, we can only hope and pray (and wait) for Mattel to listen up. Until then, PCS is a great movie that little girls will love. Older girls and mothers, reminiscent of the Princess and the Pauper or Nutcracker will be somewhat disappointed, but of course, we aren't the target audience. And the target audience will not be disappointed--not one bit.

I really enjoy this movie it brings back my childhood. This is pg if you are wondering. It’s based on Barbie living a humbled life not knowing she is the long lost princess of a royal tragedy. This helps girls to be kind and humbled based on whatever class or status they are.

A very cute movie for kids. My sister loved this as a kid and now my daughters.

A mi niña le encanta esta película. Lo tiene todo buenos valores, esfuerzo en el cole, princesas, hadas y un poco de magia.

アニメなのに、サスペンスのような ハラハラするシーンがあったり。 このお話に出てくる犬のプリンスが大活躍します。 又、優しいお母さんと、妹が可愛い。 チャスを手に入れたブレアがルームメイト達と お姫様学校の謎を解く鍵を手に入れます。 買って良かったです。♪

Schade, dass die Sprachen bei der DVD nirgendwo aufgelistet waren und die DVD nur in Englisch ist. Wir sprechen zwar alle Englisch aber ich habe schon vor dem Kauf herumgerätselt.

Having watched all the Barbie movies, I have to say, this is definitely one of the best. The animation is great as always and it's just the right length for children (around 60mins) but it's the fairytale story I enjoyed. I wasn't too keen on the fairy and mermaid barbie films but their fairytales are great and this is a modern take on the rags to riches tale that boys and girls will love. If you like Barbie or just great family films then give it a go !

Me ha gustado porque a mi sobrina las películas de Barbie, le encantan, muy buen precio para tener un detalle.
