BALLET BARBIES
The Tale of Swan Lake Barbie is One Many of Us are Familiar With
In this story a beautiful princess is transformed into a swan by day and princess by night. There is of course an evil magician and a handsome prince. These are the basic ingredients which are found in every re-telling of Swan Lake. Now in the Swan Lake Barbie version things are a little different but you get a happy ending, since this story is aimed at little girls.
The Swan Lake Barbie comes both as a doll and also as a video. In the doll you will find that Barbie is dressed in a costume that is similar to her movie costume. This very attractive outfit is pink, the traditional Barbie color that has a shimmery skirt. To mimic her wings the sleeves of the dress are split into sections that resemble wings.
Now as with all of the Barbie dolls the Swan Lake Barbie can be given as a birthday gift for a little girl that you know. Since this doll is also a character of a movie and a fairy tale it is possible to consider this Swan Lake Barbie as a collector’s item.
This would of course mean that adults would have no problems with collecting this doll to add to their collection. The doll’s box can be left intact as the scenes that are depicted on the box are a suitable background.
While the gift a Swan Lake Barbie doll is something that any little girl would love to have, seeing the movie version may make fairytales and ballet a more achievable dream. In the Swan Lake Barbie story the heroine must find the courage to defeat an evil wizard.
This wizard uses Swan Lake Barbie to bring a feud alive between two kingdoms. While this movie is not considered as being as magical as the previous Barbie movies there are many fantastic elements to look at.
The first one is the talented cast of real life actors and actresses. These individuals have given their best for the story to come alive. The element that brings the story to life is that of the music score. The London Symphony plays Tchaikovsky’s original musical score brilliantly. And finally the choreography of the ballet sequences has the New York City Ballet providing a sense of realism to the movie’s dance sequences.
While there may be people who are not too happy with this movie the Swan Lake Barbie is one that young girls will not mind watching. And while many fairytales need to be told over and over again to come alive in the minds of children, the movie version of Swan Lake Barbie will bring this magic straight into the lives of your family.
