Barbie of Swan Lake

The Fairy Queen is able to counter Rothbart's spell so that Odette retains her human form by night but mystically transforms into a swan by day. But how can a young girl - armed with only her courage, honesty and intelligence - accomplish this, all while the handsome Prince Daniel is falling in love with her? BarbieTM of Swan Lake combines fantasy, ballet and Tchaikovsky's unforgettable music as performed by the London Symphony Orchestra. BarbieTM of Swan Lake shows that each of us is braver than we think. While there, she is transformed into a swan by Rothbart, an evil wizard intent on defeating the Fairy Queen and taking over the Forest. Directed by: Owen Hurley BarbieTM magically comes to life in her third animated movie, BarbieTM of Swan Lake. Peter Martins, Ballet Master in Chief of the New York City Ballet, choreographs the wondrous dance scenes of this spectacular ballet in a way never experienced before. Based on the brilliant music of Tchaikovsky and the beloved fairy tale, the movie stars BarbieTM as Odette, the young baker's daughter who follows a unicorn into an Enchanted Forest. Odette learns that, even though she feels she is the wrong person for the task, it is her destiny to save the Enchanted Forest from Rothbart.

Odette, hampered by an overwhelming sense of insecurity, proclaims herself unfit for the job and sets out to leave the forest when the evil wizard Rothbart (voiced by Kelsey Grammer) turns her into a swan. Barbie shines in her third animated movie, an adaptation of the classic ballet Swan Lake. The computer-generated animation in this 83-minute presentation is vivid and lifelike, the London Symphony gives a wonderful performance of Tchaikovsky's original music, and the choreography and dancing is nicely done thanks to Peter Martins and the New York City Ballet.
