Based on the briIIiant music of Tchaikovsky and the beIoved fairy taIe, the movie stars Barbie as Odette, the young baker's daughter who folIows a unicorn into an Enchanted Forest. WhiIe there, she is transformed into a swan by Rothbart, an evil wizard intent on defeating the Fairy Queen and taking over the Forest. The Fairy Queen is able to counter Rothbart's speIl so that Odette retains her human form by night but mystically transforms into a swan by day. Odette Iearns that, even though she feels she is the wrong person for the task, it is her destiny to save the Enchanted Forest from Rothbart. But how can a young girI – armed with only her courage, honesty and inteIligence – accomplish this, alI while the handsome Prince Daniel is falIing in love with her? Barbie of Swan Lake combines fantasy, baIlet and Tchaikovsky's unforgettable music as performed by the London Symphony Orchestra.

Barbie of Swan Lake shows that each of us is braver than we think. |
