Sometimes it's difficult finding one's place in the world and, while a young shipwrecked girl named Ro couldn't ask for better friends than the animals that raised her on a South Seas island, she wonders about her parents and where she came from. When avid explorer Prince Antonio discovers the island, he offers Ro a chance to return to civilization and Ro convinces her friends Tika the elephant, Sagi the red panda, and Azul the peacock to accompany her. Once in the Prince's kingdom, Ro and her friends feel hopelessly out of place and fall prey to the tricks of a scheming traitor. Just when it seems that Ro may never find her parents, feel comfortable in the civilized world, nor realize her love for the Prince, Ro gets a hint of her mother's identity and finds an opportunity to prove her goodness to the royal family. This CGI animated musical stars Barbie and features nine very nice original songs. The animation is adequate, if not particularly realistic, and the story, though it's certainly been told before, holds the interest of children ages 3 to 7 years. - -Tami Horiuchi

Perfect for Princesses
I purchased this DVD for my granddaughter because she loves her Island Princess Barbie so much and she loves this movie as much she gets her doll and they watch it together and sing.It is not real actors and it is not a cartoon it is computer generated like Shrek.

Wow, I'm surprisingly impressed
I have to say that I was blown away. I was a little "iffy" about even letting my daughter be introduced to Barbie, since the barbie I thought I knew was vain. The graphics, the music, the story, the Integrity, as another reviewer said, are all incredible. I tried to buy the music right away (haven't figured out if I even can, though). Anyway, the Barbie in this movie is anything but vain; in fact, I am happy with the morals taught in this movie-friendship, loyalty, grace, and perserverance, among others. I also like how the girl who was supposed to marry the prince was pleasant and gorgeous--that was surprising. The prince doesn't just fall for some girl because she was pretty and nice-he fell in love with Rosella because they were compatible. That's another good lesson.

Island Princess - lovely music
Another Barbie Musical that has wonderful music, good lessons, and beautiful friendships. The thing we appreciate most about this one is that the main bad character is not scary looking or scary sounding and doesn't have a "dark side" appearance. They made her look quite normal and it is just her character's behavior and manner of speech that shows her to be the "baddie" - which is more realistic than some other movies.

Great lessons of friendship and doing the right thing, caring for others, learning about making sacrifices, and handling challenges. A very good movie to add to your family dvd collection, that is safe for children to watch on their own and with their family. No downsides for us.
