Hi fellow animation fans welcome to my review of Barbie: Skipper and the Big Babysitting Adventure.
Synopsis: When her babysitting business runs into an unexpected problem Skipper (Kirsten Day) has to find another job to keep herself busy during the summer holidays. After a weird interview she scores a position at the local Waterpark where she finds her Nanny skills to be extremely useful.
The Good:
* The bright colorful animation style coupled with a boppy soundtrack will definitely appeal to younger children and hold their attention throughout the movie.
* I found the themes of friendship, hard work, problem solving, forgiveness and helping others, to be really well implemented, being a lot more subtle than most kids' movies, instead of trying to hit them over the head with it.
* I also watched with a friend's daughter who said that it was really fun to see just Skipper because Barbie gets boring, so I found it to be a positive that the producers are trying to cater to fans of Barbie's other family members.
The Bad:
* There are a couple scenes that may frighten younger or more sensitive children.
* Adult Barbie fans aren't really catered too, there are a few funny scenes but it's a mostly by the book children's movie.
IMDB 5.8/10 Rotten Tomatoes N/A My Score 6.5/10
