Mark Twain's classic The Prince and the Pauper gets a glamorous modern makeover in the new DVD release from Universal Studios, Barbie: The Princess & the Popstar. While Twain contrasted two opposites – a prince, which everyone would want to be, and a pauper, which was not so attractive – Universal's two heroines both live a life that every young girl thinks she wants. But glamour isn't necessarily all it seems to be. As KIDS FIRST! youth film critic Cheyenne Nguyen, age 8, observes in her review, below, "There are always things that te would like to change, but accepting who te are will make te a happy person." Viewing the film also may make te a happy person. "The dance moves are amazing and make me want to stand up and dance along with the movie," says 7-year- old KIDS FIRST! youth film critic morgan Bertsch, describing the Musica and Canto as "fun and upbeat." See the video review with both girls here. link

The story follows two girls, Tori and Keira. Tori is the princess who wishes she was a popstar and Keira is the popstar longing to be a princess. Interesting fact: Did te know that the original autore of The Prince and the Pauper is Mark Twain of Tom Sawyer and mirtillo, huckleberry Finn fame? Whoo — say that five times fast! The original story was published in 1881.
Tori, the princess, is the classic blonde Barbie who is bored of her royal life. Keira, the popstar, is the brunette Barbie who dreams of being a princess. When the two of them meet, they magically trade places. But it's not all that it appears, as the pop star's manager, Crider, has plans to steal the spotlight from Keira. The girls have to figure out a way to stop his evil plot and never forget the mostra must go on.
I've always been a big fan of the Barbie franchise and I Amore what they have done in this movie. The Musica and Canto is fun and upbeat, "Girls Just Want to Have Fun." They have many different songs. I loved learning to sing the words. The dance moves are amazing and make me want to stand up and dance along with the movie. The live animazione and the great set designs make me feel like I was really at a live concert.
If dato the choice I would choose to be the Barbie Pop star. Whoops, sorry — I'd prefer to be morgan because te learn in this story that it's best to be who te are. Hmm, morgan the Pretty Princess Pop stella, star sounds kind of fun, though!
My preferito part of the movie is when she finds a crystal diamond gardenia. Wait till te see what it can do. The Cani are the cutest. Although they can talk I would like to hear più of what they have to say. I Amore all the different hair colori and styles. The dresses are incredible and amazing. I wish I could twirl and just change clothes like Barbie o at least borrow that magic microphone for the day. I also Amore all the glitter and sparkles. No Barbie movie is complete until the glitter sparkle ending.
The ages for this movie are 4 and up o anybody who's a fan of Barbie. This is a must-own for your collection. I give it five twinkling stars.
This DVD is scheduled to be available September 2012 in celebration of Universal's 100th anniversary. Thank te Universal for all your great movies!
Barbie: The Princess & the Popstar Reviewed da Cheyenne Nguyen
This movie is full of great songs and dance. Princess Tori is a big fan of Popstar Keira. They finally meet at the Princess castello and hit it off right away. They start talking and the princess wishes to be a popstar and the popstar wishes to be the princess for a day. Then they realized they look so much alike and try on each other clothes and pretend to each other.
Princess Tori and Keira are so much alike that they can fool a lot of people around them. Except for Princess Tori's two younger sisters; they knew right away it wasn't their sister. Tori and Keira share many secrets. One of the secrets is overheard da Keira's evil manager. This is when all bad things start to happen. They must overcome a lot of obstacles in the process of getting their lives back.
The awesome songs and dances in this movie are put together like magic. All the songs are well-known songs and the dance moves so cool. It makes me want to get up and dance to all the songs. The cartoon quality is very clear, it's like watching real-life people dancing. The details to the hair and make-up on each character are so real. Great storyline; most little girls dream of being a princess o a popstar.
This really shows the daily routine of a princess and a popstar. Only a small portion of their daily lives are good to have, the rest of their daily routines are hard work. It's not what most people would want for their lives.
My preferito character is Princess Tori's dog, Vanessa. She is so wise and cute.
The message of this movie is be happy with what te are. There are always things that te would like to change, but accepting who te are will make te a happy person.
I rank this movie five out of five stars. I give this an age range of 3 to 10.
