Review: We really enjoyed this as a family, was suitable for small children to pre-teen as Barbie discovers her heritage with reluctance when she comes of age (16). By embarking on a self discovery she finds that life is limited to choice and that sometimes it's good to be different. An empowering, original, fun movie!
