The good guys are decent characters who treat each other with respect and villains are despicable. The colors are bright, with the still early 3-d animation improved over the earlier Nutcracker and Rapunzel Barbie movies. The story is sound, the music is decent/delightful depending on your tastes, and children are entranced with the colors and music. (Yes, you can wear out a dvd.) The packaging that includes the bonus 25 minute soundtrack cd is probably the best deal, or a 'second hand' package where a kindly seller sells the interactive cat along with the movie/cdd combination. We have purchased several copies of this title as the grandchildren literally wear it out playing it.

The songs help to highlight the action, rather than being plunked into the middle of it, as sometimes can be the case. The music is not half bad either, considering it's a made-for-video movie. And when in peril, the men, women and animals all work together to get out of trouble, so it's not just the men riding in to save the day.

The movie shows that both the princess and the pauper (the poor girl) have aspects of their life that they would like to change, but that they recognize their responsibilities go beyond personal desires. But in spite of my initial reluctance, this movie has grown on my over the many (gazillions?) of times I have seen it with my 5-year-old daughter. You wouldn't expect a Barbie Princess movie to be a paragon of female empowerment, and indeed, 'Princess & the Pauper' has its share of princess movie cliches. What's not to like? (Did I just write that?)
