Synopsis
The famous ballet SWAN LAKE was nothing without the creative magic of Barbie! Now, finally, the universally loved doll, who boasts a bodacious bod, stars in this timeless tale. Set to the music of Tchaikovsky, an animated Barbie plays Odette, the pretty young daughter of a baker, who follows a unicorn into the woods (let this be a lesson to all those who have considered this dangerous behavior) and is then is promptly turned into a swan by an evil wizard. Though Odette eventually negotiates her sentence to being a swan only part-time, she learns important lessons about not being overly ambitious, accepting one's station in life and the dangers of walking in the woods alone.

From the Back Cover
Barbie magically comes to life in her third animated movie, Barbie of Swan Lake. Based on the brilliant music of Tchaikovsky and the beloved fairy tale, the movie stars Barbie as Odette, the young baker’s daughter who follows a unicorn into the Enchanted Forest. The evil wizard, Rothbart – intent on defeating his cousin, the Fairy Queen and taking over the Forest, transforms Odette into a swan. The Fairy Queen counters the spell, leaving Odette human by night but a swan by day. Odette learns that even though she fells she is the wrong person for the task, it is her destiny to save the Enchanted Forest from Rothbart. But how can a young girl – armed with only her courage, honesty and intelligence – accomplish this, all while the handsome Prince Daniel is falling in love with her?

Barbie of Swan Lake combines fantasy, ballet and Tchaikovsky’s unforgettable music as performed by the London Symphony Orchestra. Peter Martins, Ballet Master in Chief of the New York City Ballet, choreographs the wondrous dance scenes of this spectacular ballet in a way never experienced before.
