Product Description

In this sparkling musical adventure, Barbie™ stars as Tori™, the kind-hearted princess of Meribella who would rather sing and dance than perform her royal duties. When her favorite pop star Keira™ visits the kingdom, the girls discover they have much in common, including a magical secret that lets them look like one another. At first, swapping places seems like a great idea, until each girl realizes that the other’s life isn’t as easy as it seems! But Meribella also has a magical secret, and when it’s stolen, the whole kingdom is put in danger. Will true friendship save the day? Filled with fantastic songs, fabulous fashions, and fun new friends, it’s an exciting musical celebration that shows the best thing you can be is yourself!

Basically a modern variation on the classic Mark Twain story "The Prince and the Pauper," Barbie: The Princess and the Popstar is a music-filled story about two high-profile girls, one a princess and one a pop singer, who appreciate their own fortunate circumstances, but sometimes long for simpler lives. Tori loves being a princess, but sometimes she wishes for fewer responsibilities and more time for fun--something she thinks her idol, pop star Keira, must have plenty of. While Keira is living her dream as a performer, she's frustrated with all the time-consuming logistics her job entails. She wishes she just had some leisure time to write songs and relax--and leisure is something she assumes a princess's life is full of. Tori and Keira meet and discover that, with a little help from a couple of magical accessories, they can switch places for a day. The girls find out that life is complicated whether you're a princess or a pop star, but when they are prevented from switching back to their own lives before a big concert, things get really messy. Add in Keira's manager, whose main concern is promoting his own career, and a dire threat to a hidden secret that's vital to the entire kingdom, and the stakes suddenly become very high. This production is full of catchy pop music that includes a cover of Cyndi Lauper's "Girls Just Want to Have Fun." The program paints a glitzy picture of life in the spotlight that girls ages 3 to 8 will love--never mind that parents will swear they've heard this story before. --Tami Horiuchi

My 4 year old daughter enjoys this movie. The songs are kinda catchy. I don’t think she understands the storyline. But she still likes to watch it.

My all-time favorite Barbie movie! You read that right, my favorite. My three year old likes it too; but as most parents know we have the wonderful honor of sitting through all the movies our small children are watching. This movie is fun and upbeat, the songs are pretty catchy, my little one sings them all the time. Sometimes I find myself humming one of them while washing dishes or folding laundry.

In this movie The Princess and The Popstar switch places and discover how much they really love their lives. It is the classic story, "The Princess and The Pauper" but redone for today's day and age. Of course there are some parts that are simply ridiculous and slightly hilarious, but this movie is a lot of fun. I like it much more than the Barbie version of "The Princess and The Pauper". There is a song that is used, with some slight changes is verse, in both movies - I could never understand this and neither does my little. She likes the Popstar version much better.

I highly recommend this movie for your little girls. I think that there is slightly less focus on fashion and toy-selling than many of the other Barbie movies. I have also found that the lead characters are more developed in this movie than in other Barbie movies.

I love it
Reviewed in the United States on October 7, 2013
I am in between 3 and 4 stars. This was our second barbie movie. The first one was stupid, it was about surfing or something I don't know but I couldn't watch it with her. This one is cute and although usually I have a hard time watching the movies my daughter likes, I found myself watching this one without getting too bored. It's fun. The problem is, it's hard to really relate to both a pop star and a princess that don't like their lives...seems like they are whining a little. How can you be a pop star and whine and be that unhappy with your life? Isn't that what she wanted? If she wanted to be a real songwriter...oh I'm over thinking it. I mean, I suppose I could understand the princess being unhappy with her life since she didn't choose it but come on. Her aunt is controlling, why doesn't princess Barbie tell her father how her aunt is? Why does her father let her aunt talk to her that way? That's odd. Oh well. It was cute; the music wasn't horrible. 3 stars for me, 4 from my 4 year old. Her opinion counts more; it was for her.

A great Barbie movie!
Reviewed in the United States on April 22, 2017
I personally thought this show was filled with a vast array of narcissistic and ridiculous characters... but I'm not 5 years old.

Our daughter had a very bad reaction to pollen and fought through itchy eyes while we waited for the symptoms to slowly clear after a bath.

This show helped to calm her down and she was fully engaged even though I really don't put these shows on for her. We let her choose this time because she wasn't feeling well.

Thankfully, by the end, she was feeling so much better. The music wasn't terribly bad. I did find myself singing a few of the songs after the show had ended even though I was desperately trying to purge them from my brain.

We aren't Barbie people, but it served its purpose. ;-)

My son rented the movie from the library and he love the movie. So I decided to buy the movie for him so we don't have to keep on renting it from the library. It was prime and arrived fast. We went down stairs to check our mail box and he was surprised I purchased it for him

5.0 out of 5 stars Barbie dvds - always more than value for money!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 10, 2013
Loving the songs in this one. It's really funny too.
My daughters (age 7 & 2) love watching Barbie movies & singing along to the songs. They can watch these over and over again & never get bored. They have virtually the entire Barbie dvd collection now; brilliant for a rainy/cold day, or when they need to sit and be calm (so I can get on with housework etc. ... naughty mummy using tv to "watch" the kids :) !!)
The stories always have a respectful tone, & well-mannered underlying moral / teachings so that's an added bonus - I buy dvds to entertain my kids ... not teach them, so when they do I see it as a responsibly made product (it's my job to raise my girls the right way after all). All in all - always an excellent purchase!
