General Goods

Barbie™ and Teresa™ star in their first best-friends movie! In Barbie and the Diamond Castle they play best friends Liana™ and Alexa™, two girls who share everything, including a love of singing. After losing everything during a storm, their friendship and love of music holds them together. And through a chance meeting with an old woman, they meet Melody, a girl locked inside an enchanted mirror. Melody holds the secret key to the Diamond Castle and embodies the last chance to defeat the selfish Lydia from ruling. Alexa and Liana journey to the Diamond Castle to rescue Melody, defeat Lydia, and release the Diamond Castle from its hiding place. Along the way they face challenges and learn about true friendship.

I was torn when I received a copy of the Barbie and the Diamond Castle DVD through Mom Central. It’s close enough to my daughter’s birthday that I really wanted to save it for that. But I also needed (and wanted) to watch the movie in order to review it – and my daughters had been asking to watch it for a while as well. So, we rented the movie and I’m saving ‘our’ copy as a birthday present in a few weeks.

A musical story about the power of friendship and believing in oneself, Barbie and the Diamond Castle opens with Barbie and her friend Teresa singing, playing guitar, and relating a story about friendship to Stacy who's just had a disagreement with her best friend Courtney. In the story, friends Alexa and Liana loose everything but each other in a terrible storm. A chance meeting with an old woman brings them a new friend Melody, who shares their love of music, but is locked inside an enchanted mirror. It turns out that Melody is an apprentice muse who holds the secret key to the diamond castle and embodies the last chance to defeat the selfish muse Lydia and preserve music for the entire world. Alexa and Liana help Melody journey to the diamond castle, overcoming enormous obstacles conjured by Lydia and her serpent Slider as well as rising above a disagreement between themselves.

Barbie doll is featured here as Princess Liana from S"Barbie and The Diamond Castleo" who sings two songs from the movie and wears a mesmerizing glittery gown that magically transforms with the flip of a switch. Her necklace lights up when she sings. Pair her with the Princess Alexa doll, sold separately, to hear beautiful duets.
