My four year old daughter saw the preview for this movie months ago and couldn't wait to see it. As we awaited the release, we read aloud the Dickens story and talked about the themes. (I love how this kid's movie gives us the opportunity to explore great literature & deep ideas together!) We got the Barbie DVD as soon as it was available, and my daughter has watched it nearly every day since then. It's definitely a delightful, entertaining, and fun movie for kids, but I appreciate most of all how the message is so meaningful. The Barbie version truly captures the essence of the Dickens story and the Beauty of the Holiday. My favorite part is hearing all the carols, especially when the orphan-children sing "Joy to the World." I'm recommending this movie to everyone I know; it's refreshing, uplifting, and an excellent celebration of Christmas.
