I really like the animal sidekicks here - Penelope the dragon and Hobie the Hare who are her friends and allies in all things. It is very fairy tale beginning - beautiful girl forced to do chores for a step-mother character - (who is ably voiced by Angelica Houston). It is very very loosely based around the story of Rapunzel although the only real reference to Rapunzel is that she lives in a tower, has long hair and has a Rapunzel style dream sequence. It is one of the first of the Barbie movies and is set in the 'fantasy' world of the sevententh century, a time of magic and dragons. As an adult I find it one of the less entertaining Barbie movies, but it has some really good points to it. They find it spell binding and on rainy days they like this or just about any of the Barbie movies to go on.
