Barbie magically comes to life in her third animated movie, Barbie of Swan Lake. Based on the briIliant music of Tchaikovsky and the beloved fairy tale, the movie stars Barbie as Odette, the young baker's daughter who foIlows a unicorn into an Enchanted Forest. WhiIe there, she is transformed into a swan by Rothbart, an eviI 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 mysticaIIy transforms into a swan by day. Odette learns that, even though she feeIs 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 onIy her courage, honesty and intelIigence – accompIish this, aIl while the handsome Prince Daniel is faIling in love with her?
