Barbie - Island Princess [UK Import]

I am not familiar with appliances used around the world. I purchased this DVD to enjoy with my daughter. When received the DVD gave me an error message saying this DVD is not used in this zone. Apparently Europe has other DVD codes etc. Who knew?! I contacted the seller and was told that it was my fault for NOT reading the description when purchasing. So beware when purchasing DVD’s on line. They offered a refund only if I returned the DVD Along with the original delivery envelope and I had to pay for shipping. I only paid $10 for this DVD not worth the time/effort. So now I have a DVD that can’t be viewed unless I have the right DVD player. Not a fun experience!!!

This movie may not yet be out on DVD here in the UK, but I've seen it and it is BRILLIANT!! I've seen all the Barbie movies and this one is offically my favourite.'Barbie as the Island Princess' tells the story of Rosella, a girl shipwrecked on a beautiful tropical paradise island who can talk to animals. Rosella lives with her three animal friends Tika a loyal baby elephant, Azul a prim peacock and Sagi a wise red panda until one day, Prince Antonio discovers their island. Antonio and Rosella fall in love and Rosella decides to return with Antonio to his kingdom to try and find her family. But when arriving, Antonio discovers that his parents have arranged for him to marry Princess Luciana, whose mother Queen Ariana is plotting to overthrow the kingdom. Can Rosella stop Ariana's evil plot before it's too late?I absolutely love the songs in this beautiful Barbie musical, I've been singing them to myself ever since I saw this movie. The animals are so adorable - Azul certainly is very funny as he thinks he's a Prince himself, Tika is so cute and looks up to Rosella as a sister, Sagi is very wise and is always there for Rosella when she needs help and Tallulah is an adorable monkey who helps Rosella prepare for the Ball. I certainly love the characters as well - Rosella is a beautiful young girl with an amazing gift, Antonio is a handsome young man who'll stop at nothing to thwart his father's plans for him to marry Luciana (also in terms of appearance, he's the best image of Ken we've ever had), Luciana is a beautiful young girl with a good heart who knows what to really marry for and Queen Ariana is one mean lady you don't want to get on the wrong side of! And of course, Antonio's three little sisters Rita, Gena and Sophia are very cute.I absolutely love the plot of this movie - there's a lot of lovely scenes as well. The Royal Ball scene is really sweet. When I first saw this scene, I couldn't get over how beautiful Rosella looks in her beautiful ball gown. And I was very touched when watching her and Antonio dancing together - so beautiful! So if you're a Barbie movie fan, you'll like this movie - 'Barbie as the Island Princess' is now my offical favourite Barbie movie!

Barbie: the Island Princess [DVD]Great GiftExcellent Quality of AnimationGood Story and Voice ActorsBought as a gift for my Niece to add to her Collection. She Loved it

This was not a copy made for USA it was a foreign copy so shipping was added for obvious reasons but I didn’t see anything that listed it as a different code not made for USA devices so you won’t be able to view or play it no equipment available here to view it so be aware

I would give it a zero star rating if I could. It looks like a musical version not the movie but, we will never know since The disc won’t read in any of our devices. Very disappointing since this was a Christmas gift. Buyer beware!
