Sing Along With Barbie Review

Average Reviews:

Con:
Given this DVD costs as much as any Barbie Movie I was really disappointed.
I expected Karaoke style music videos. Instead the first 2/3rds of the DVD is simply clips from the movie with words.
By clips I don't mean that the DVD strings together clips of the movies to make a music video. That's what I expected and there are some videos like that on the last part of the DVD.
Instead Barbie exerted as little effort as possible and just copied the section of the movie with the song. The problem with this is that the non-song parts of the movie are also included. For example if anyone was speaking during the singing in the movie, they are speaking during the video (complete with text on-screen). This is very disconcerting to be singing the song with barbie and then all of a sudden the DVD is telling you to say whatever the evil Witch or two altertate life style guys are speaking (not singing).
The lost couple of songs are what I expected the entire DVD to be like. However as these videos are included on their respective DVDs (diamond castle and 12 dancing princes) you are paying for content you most likely have already purchased. Again, barbie gives us nothing new.
Finally some of the song selections/omissions are odd. For example, none of us could even remember 2 of the 3 songs from "Barbie and the Three Musketeers", but one song that would have been a great "sing along" song (She's unbelievable) is not included on the DVD. The song "connected" is on the DVD twice how ever the Kelly Clarkson version of Connected is omitted.
Finally for us the sound volume is all messed up. It's almost as if Barbied copied the sound directly from the movies and without any adjustments. So when listening keep the remote handy as we had to very our sound from 30 to 82 to maintain a good volume.
