A musical story about the power of friendship and believing in oneself, Barbie and the Diamond Castle opens with Barbie and her friend Teresa singing, playing guitar, and relating a story about friendship to Stacy who's just had a disagreement with her best friend Courtney. In the story, friends Alexa and Liana loose everything but each other in a terrible storm. A chance meeting with an old woman brings them a new friend Melody, who shares their love of music, but is locked inside an enchanted mirror. It turns out that Melody is an apprentice muse who holds the secret key to the diamond castle and embodies the last chance to defeat the selfish muse Lydia and preserve music for the entire world. Alexa and Liana help Melody journey to the diamond castle, overcoming enormous obstacles conjured by Lydia and her serpent Slider as well as rising above a disagreement between themselves. This CGI animated program is colorful and bright, if not particularly realistic, and the pop music is appealing, but oddly out of sink with the renaissance style costuming. While the Barbie versions of classic stories like Barbie of Swan Lake or Barbie Prince and the Pauper generally offer better storylines, young Barbie fans will nonetheless enjoy this quest to save music while getting a sense of the importance of friendship and believing in oneself. (Ages 3 to 9) --Tami Horiuchi

 Daughter love this! January 7, 2009
My daughter loves this movie and the Barbies she has gotten to go with it.
One of the best Barbie movies December 27, 2008
We have 6 Barbie movies and out of all of them, this one is the most tolerable. Sure the boys are kinda cocky, but still a cute message in the movie about friendship is great. My daughter and I watched it Thanksgiving morning and she got the movie for Christmas. She loves to dress up as Alexa and sing along with them while she watches the movie
another hit for Barbie December 25, 2008
like all the Barbie movies this is another great one My 3 year old granddaughter just loves princesses and Barbie movies
Good story line- we liked it! December 14, 2008
My 5 year old daughter liked the movie. We watched it once so far. I enjoyed it as well since it had a nice story line-- very good and fun to watch!
 An OK Barbie Movie December 12, 2008
Honestly, as an adult, Barbie movies are nothing special. Diamond Castle follows the same formula as most Barbie movies. You could change the clothes, and it would be a Mermaidia movie or a Fairytopia movie. The plots are largely interchangable.
However, my kid eats these movies up. In a child's mind, the movies are very different, because the characters have different names, different clothes, and different castles. And since I bought this movie for my kid and not myself, I have to give it good marks for keeping my child's interest.
