Title: Sweet movie with good message
Review: Our three and a half year old daughter wanted to see this movie after seeing a preview on the Nick Jr website. The only other Barbie movie we have watched was the Nutcracker, and while it was a cute movie with beautiful ballet sequences, it had too many scary parts for her. We watched A Mermaid’s Tale tonight as a special treat after a particularly traumatic day involving blood testing for allergies. I was pleasantly surprised in this movie. The animation is fantastic, beautiful and lifelike. The characters are sweet. And the story line (you must realize we are talking it’s for small children who love Barbie and fantasy) is easy to follow and fun. My daughter loved it. The “scary” parts weren’t too scary, some sharks, a few jelly fish, and the mean Queen. And while she is mean, it’s nothing like the Queen in Sleeping Beauty that can give very young children nightmares for weeks. The movie’s message is that it is okay to be different. We are very particular about what we let our daughter watch. She watches Max and Ruby, the Wonder Pets, The Berenstain Bears, Little Bear, Olivia and occasionally Maggie and the Ferocious Beast. She has seen the Tinkerbell movies, but didn’t enjoy the other Disney movies, as the bad guys are always too scary. She doesn’t see any network TV or commercials in general. She saw the commercial for this on the Nick Jr website, and only after we had watched it first. My husband and I especially appreciated the fact that there weren’t references to things she wouldn’t understand, there weren’t jokes thrown in for the adults only, and that is was sweet and simple with no violence, no name calling and nothing offensive. I would gladly watch it again with her, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to a parent who was looking for a sweet, fun movie for little girls who love pretend and make-believe and believe it’s possible Mermaids are really out there in the ocean somewhere.

Title: Cute, inexpensive.
Review: The Barbie movies are surprisingly good for what you’d expect. The graphics are simple, but there are actual stories that make it worth buying. The songs tend to be excellent. My daughters insisted I buy the sequel.This story is about a girl (Merliah) raised by her grandfather who discovers she’s half-mermaid on her sixteenth birthday. It turns out that her mermaid aunt has been keeping her mother prisoner, and Merliah has to rescue her and come to terms with her mermaid heritage. It’s kitsch, but it’s decent kitsch and my daughters adore it.I have way more of these Barbie movies than I ever wanted, but it’s worth the inexpensive price.

Review: We bought this approximately the same time it came out and it’s been a non-stop favourite with my kids (girl 3 AND boy 7) ever since. They watch DVD’s in the car most weekends when we travel out and it pretty much has to be a Barbie movie every time, with this one being the current “must watch” for them 🙂 (I got severely told off last weekend for only bringing Barbie as the Island Princess with us by accident, oops).I’ve never actually *seen* the film myself, but i’ve listened to it countless times now (literally…). It’s very entertaining, the kids enjoy it and appreciate the humour in it, as well as the story itself.Not rich with songs, but there are some great musical tracks and the songs that are there are definitely up to the standard I expect from a Barbie movie – the general tone is more up beat, fast songs with a surfer feel.One aspect of the story I particularly liked (without revealing too much!) is that Merliah must find three objects to do what she needs to do – but in fact it’s often the finding of the object or the implications of an object for Merliah that actually are what is important, a nice use of the plot style.Highly recommended!

Review: I love underwater stuff and found this movie to be good for the whole family. The film appeared to be done entirely with computer graphics and looks great. The plot was good and the message a positive one. With all that’ happening in the world right now I wanted the family to be exposed to something good. We’ll watch it again.My 3 favorite Amazon purchases:- Rubic’s Cube- Tahitian Treat (24 pack)- Great Fighter Jets of the Galaxy 1 by Tim Gibson
