The girls’ paths are fated to cross when Princess Anneliese is captured and Erika, her look-alike, must try to save her. Can Erika pretend to be the Princess and foil her captor, the evil Preminger? And what of the handsome King Dominick, who falls in love with Erika, mistaking her for Anneliese? In this magical musical performance, two beautiful, adventurous girls dare to follow their dreams and discover that destiny is written in a very special place: your heart! - ( Original Title - Barbie as The Princess and the Pauper )

Ratings and reviews

I watched this all the time when I was young. I had all the original Barbie movies and this sas my favorite. My second favorite sas Barbie and the Flying Pegasus. Now I'm twelve and I sold all of them, which I REALLY regret. Now I sit here and try to find them on youtube but they're not there because of copyright difficulties. I wish my mom could buy them ALL for me again.

Growing up with this movie was amazing, watching it again gave me so much nostalgia it was insane. And seeing the old Animation of 2004 was hilarious. Honestly, i kinda hope they redo this one in all new 2020 animations- excluding Barbie princess and the Pop-star, that one wasn't as good. This 2004 film was prime in its time, and I know a lot of us consider this a Classic Barbie movie that new ones will NEVER live up to.

I'm 15, hate barbies, and I still love this movie. It gives a good message. But I can't find it anywhere, finally found it here and it says its not available in my country, come on pleaseeeee
