In this “Fantasy Tales Collection,” one can see the seeds of the inevitable Barbie-Ken breakup Mattel announced in February 2004: Ken's jealousy over Barbie's burgeoning video career. Barbie, the original American idol, has successfully made the leap to the screen in three bestselling computer-animated fairy tales, further enchanting her millions of admirers. This box set contains the first three productions, each of which puts an empowering contemporary spin on classic tales. In Barbie in the Nutcracker, Barbie as Rapunzel, and Barbie of Swan Lake, the titular doll is a plucky heroine whose kindness, laughter, and bravery embolden her to face enormous dangers and triumph over spell-casting villains. Distinguished actors in fine voice lend an air of class to these video Barbie-fests, including Tim Curry in Nutcracker, Anjelica Huston in Rapunzel, and Kelsey Grammer in Swan Lake). Sweeping, romantic classical music performed by the London Symphony Orchestra and choreography by Peter Martins of the New York City Ballet add to the sheen. Sorry, Ken, but a star is definitely born.

    All Barbie films

    My daughter is 4 yrs.old and she has loved every Barbie movie made, and is anxiosly waiting for the next. My husband and I also have enjoyed the movies ourselves, and we are also anxiously waiting. My daughter has the whole series and has watched each one at least 30 if not more. She has developed an interest in ballet and often mimics the songs. Barbie gets all of our THUMBS UP!

    A wonderful introduction to the classics

    If DVDs could be worn out, my now 6 yr old grand daughter would have these quickly worn! After first buying her Barbie & the Nutcracker when she was 4 & first attended the Nutcracker in the theater, she soon started Ballet, seeing herself as Clair (the role Barbie plays) over and over. She never seems to tire of any of the 3 movies. And each is portrayed close to the classics. Now after seeing the Nutcracker 3 times, she dreams of seeing Swan Lake.
