Having recently watched other Barbie movies, this one was a breath of fresh air. The others that I've watched were all inspired more or less by The Prince and The Pauper. The story itself here isn't original, it's based on Swan Lake or something. From my previous statement, it should be apparent that I'm unfamiliar with the inspiration material, so for me it felt like I was watching something new. If you are familiar with the inspiration material, Swan Lake or whatever it's called, I suppose this movie wouldn't be all that surprising or enjoyable, unless maybe you're a little girl/the target audience. I'm neither a little girl and I'm most certainly not the target audience, but I enjoyed it. It wasn't another The Prince and The Pauper movie. The song/music video "This is who I am" brought me here. The most recent Barbie movie, Barbie Princess Adventure really shows how the animation has improved. The scenery in The Pink Shoes is incredible, IMO. The character animation, faces and movement seemed off here though. Again, you can really see how the animation of the characters has improved through the years, when you watch some of the newer movies.
