I expect you’re probably thinking you’d no way in a million years watch Barbie’s The Island Princess. I too was like you once but here I am reviewing it so it just goes to show that the only thing in this world we can be sure of is that Barbie is a blonde with an impeccably tiny waist

The first thing you should know is this. If a child asks you to watch it you need to have your wits about you. Try, ‘Hark! I think I can hear the ice cream truck’ or ‘I think your goldfish is dead’

There will come a point though where you can’t avoid the inevitable…

The lowlights:

* the poison the evil queen uses on the animals is called ’sunset herb’. If the American way of saying ‘erb’ drives you nuts, you’re going to have some problems

* it’s a musical and most of the songs seem to have the same tune. You will end up with an ear bug and for days afterwards you will go about singing ‘the sun goes down and we are here together, fireflies glow like a thousand charms, stay with me and you can dream forever’. This may cause people to projectile vomit on you

* the evil queen doesn’t poison Rosella (aka Barbie), which is a great shame in my opinion

The highlights:

* it features an elephant and who doesn’t like elephants?

* the cheezels

Is she a princess or a cabaret dancer?
