Barbie & Chelsea: The Lost Birthday

This is a different kind of Barbie movie, but in a good way. With the focus on Chelsea, you get to see a whole range of emotions from her, whether funny, sad, or sweet. The movie is written more for those close to her age group, yet never talks down to them. There's a fun sense of adventure and fantasy, all topped off with great messages about the value of family and how it's great to be a kid.

I could definitely see a child enjoying this movie. As an older viewer, I really liked a few of the smaller animation details. The characters were funny enough and I managed to laugh a few times. It's an average kid film: not too obnoxious. I wish the music were a bit better, but I think the animation makes up for that. The characters were all cute and pleasant to look at. Overall, it was a bit forgettable.

This is most definitely for the little little ones. It was nice, but not up to par with other Barbie movies. Previous movies and even the shows have had more depth, this is also not a musical. No inspiring messages either, but it was wholesome and safe. If you're already a Barbie fan and/or you're older, you'll see where the movie is going within 15 - 20 minutes. Hopefully the next Barbie movie will have a little more depth. The next movie is slated for some time later this year.

This film was top tier. It was packed with comedy also action packed which i loved Overall i loved it, my favourite part was when the characters fell. Animation was 10/10. Such a great film.
