Editorial Reviews

For Barbie, the third time's the charm. This enchanting computer-animated romantic fantasy recasts the American icon as Odette, "just a girl from the village," whose empowering adventures begin when she follows a unicorn into an enchanted forest. When she unwittingly uses a magic crystal to help free the entangled creature, she is stunned to learn from the Fairy Queen that she has been chosen to save the forest from the evil Rothbart. Barbie proclaims that she is "the wrong girl," but her kindness, laughter, and bravery embolden her to face enormous dangers and fulfill her destiny. The producers of this class act were really on their toes. The London Philharmonic performs the Tchaikovsky-inspired score; Peter Martins of the New York City Ballet choreographed the dancing sequences; and Kelsey Grammer is at his sinister, Sideshow Bob best as the voice of Rothbart, who transforms our heroine into a swan.
