In one scene, an evil giant attempts to cook and eat our heroine, garnished with evil giant vegetables. (Do you see the irony here? This is the only scene showing the character at something like her real-life scale.) For a soundtrack, the movie wisely uses pieces of Beethoven's Sixth Symphony, instead of all original music.

The ice-skating celebration at the end seemed tacked-on to me. As if someone at Mattel called the director, and said, "What? She wears one dress throughout the whole film! We can't sell a Barbie with one dress! Add a scene with a different outfit, by Friday!" (Or perhaps the ice-skating scene is integral to the meaning of the film, and I'm just too thick to see it.)

The at 10-to-15 dollars, and it includes four pairs of cardboard 3-D glasses! They're very pretty, and pink, and they say "Barbie" on the front. In fact, if for some reason you just needed some 3-D glasses in a hurry, you could buy this movie in a retail store to get the four pairs, and think of the DVD an added bonus.
