Product Description

A girl can be anything she wants to be if she works hard, but in the days of the musketeers, certain professions were simply off-limits. Corinne (Barbie) is the daughter of a Musketeer and grew up wanting to become a musketeer and training hard to become an excellent swordsperson. When she sets off for Paris to join the musketeers, even her letter of introduction earns nothing but laughs from Captain Treville and the all-male musketeers. Forced to take a job as a castle housekeeper, Corinne soon discovers that her three fellow housekeepers have also dreamed and trained to become musketeers. Even more amazing is that the senior housekeeper had similar dreams as a child. This elder housekeeper provides further training for the three girls, encouraging them to strive to achieve what was an absolute impossibility for her generation. Just as the prince is about to become king, strange accidents begin to occur around the castle--accidents that the men musketeers seem unable to prevent. Could these unfortunate events provide an opportunity for Corinne and her friends to showcase their extraordinary swordsmanship? While the concept of Barbie as a sword-wielding musketeer may initially seem rather odd, the film is just as believable as other Barbie productions and it is refreshing to see Barbie in a somewhat less overtly-feminine role. Barbie's final quotation sums it all up nicely: "True courage is pursuing your dream, even when everyone else says it's impossible." (Ages 3 to 7) --Tami Horiuchi

Charlie's Angels for Little Girls

Review Date: September 16, 2009

Reviewer: J. Rice, New Mexico

This is definitely one of the better Barbie Movies, and the messages, while not subtle, are great for sparking conversations such as...Barbie was so brave, so strong (she does a lot of gymnastics/Charlie's Angels moves), and of course saves the prince after kicking some serious a**. And yes, she shows that the "boys" were wrong because they said girls couldn't be musketeers. I winced a couple of times because it is a little cheesy with slo-mo moves as Barbie and her friends take down the (many) bad guys (you know the scene, she's got two swords and is taking out a small army of bad guys). And now my little, shy princesses (ages 4 and 5) are running around the house doing sword fights, ribbon and fan fights, and saving their dad. And they're also declaring they want to be a musketeer when they grow up. Worth the money, and a great message(s)....Barbie is definitely working against stereotypes in this movie!

A blast

This is amazingly enough a great movie to teach girls about being whatever they want to be. It's surprising how many movies are now addressing this theme, but here's the same theme again done in a cute way. It follows the action adventure romance line, but with twists that are a bit unexpected. There are unexpected heroines. No, I don't mean Barbie as the sole heroine either. My daughter loved it especially the extra bonus features. My daughter is seven. My son who is 11 won't admit it but he enjoyed it too. He'll watch these movies but won't admit to it to his friends. The fact that my entire family was able to watch and enjoy the movie makes it a success.

Best Barbie movie yet

Barbie and the Three Musketeers

Review Date: September 15, 2009

Reviewer: Paul Jutras, Florida, USA

what I thought was a re-write of a the classic tale is more of a sequal as Barbie plays Corinne the daughter of famous Musketeer Dartanion. After 17 years of practice her dreams of going to Paris and becoming a musketeer like her dad isn't all it crack up to be as girls aren't musketeers. Getting a job as a servant girl she and the other girls that she had anything but a good first impression upon come across a plot against the prince. She and her soon to be friends who also dreams of being a musketeers themselves becomes the secret mask heroines of the kingdom. Treating Barbie like a real actress in a movie and not some cartoon character the DVD includes behind the scenes bloopers and a great New York Barbie fashion show where women of different ages get to be Barbie from different era's of her existence.

Barbie and The Three Musketeers - DVD - One of the best barbie movie's yet!

This is my review on Barbie and The Three Musketeer's - DVD.

I rented this from my local library as soon as they had this DVD neatless to say there was 50 holds on it before I rented it me 51st person to rent it so far. Anyway's I love this movie. It has everything in it. Sword fighting, action, castles, & a Reinassance time era & theme. One of the best storylines ever too for the movie. I love barbie & I love anything to do with the Reinassance era (Mideval Times). It has to be one of the best Barbie Movies I've seen so far yet. I love the music video "Unbelievable" with the cats dancing & singing awesome! Girls can do anything! & This movie proves it! If you believe in your dreams then you will succeed. I'm so getting Barbie & the three musketeers nintendo ds game. I wanted to see this movie first before I get the game but now I'm positive of getting the ds game. Oh & after you watch this movie watch the blooper's too I was laughing my butt off at the bloopers. If you like this Barbie movie then watch:
