I think that there was a golden age for Barbie movies from 12 Dancing Princesses to The Three Musketeers, at least in terms of animation. Things were spot on in these movies. I certainly LOVE the classics, especially The Nutcracker and Princess and the Pauper, but I find the newer movies to be more entertaining, though less magical. I think the songs have been consistently great and like them all no matter what era they're from.

For a while I was annoyed by the fact that Mattel no longer does classic movie stories (I miss the ballet) but I was really happy when The Pink Shoes came out, even if it was set in modern times.

Long story short, I miss the Golden Era which is where I think Barbie movies peaked in quality. I was pretty iffy about Rock'n'Royals, but after hearing the songs and watching a few video peeks OMG I'm SO excited, it looks amazing, besides the animation of Barbie's face!
