Title: So much was expected, but so little was delivered
Review: Imagine the excitement of my three year old daughter and myself when we found Barbie as Rapunzel. Imagine the anticipation as we put the DVD into the player. It then would be hard to imagine MY disappointment as I tried to sit through the movie. The animation was, as Nutcracker was last year, reminiscent of a computer game. But Rapunzel failed where the Nutcracker sparkled. The story lacked charm and in some cases, rambled. Many of the characters were at best redundant-- the Kelly incarnations which in the Nutcracker were endearing, appeared to be nothing more than marketing tools for the doll in Rapunzel and came across as annoying.If the movie's producers want to see the difference between a cartoon classic and a forgettable piece of animation; they need only look at their entrancing debut film, and their disappointing follow up.
