I think this movie was well made. It's got a fun adventure aspect and some nice characters. It tells a great story with a great lesson. It is very silly as most Barbie movie are. Is it as good as other Barbie movies? No. But it's definitely worth it.

Fun
Okay. Thought the second movie was better.
Coming from a classic Barbie lover I thought this movie was alright. The whole underwater fashion stuff is beyond my interest but it's good otherwise. If you're a classic Barbie movie fan I suggest watching this at least once and get into watching the second movie because it's better.
Lovely Vivid Barbie Story as we know them
So we meet Barbie here in a new design or at least..her looks changed a bit..In some ways an improvement, in others (like the part she looks a bit like she's crossed-eyed or something) there are some parts to become better..Though... we were prepared, already in Barbie thumbelina you can see a change of graphics, and in Barbie and the three musketeers they're nicely preparing you for Barbie's changes. The graphics and animations overall were outstanding. The colors are really vivid and underwater are used all different kinds of blue.
*There is a tiny possibility that one may find the following information a spoiler, though personally I see it more as objective nothing revealing about the storyline review*
Of Course Kelly Sheridan has provided her voice to Barbie, here Merliah. The story is a bit cliché, but hey, its Barbie, it would be interesting when the story is Not a cliché. Barbie movies always are in some ways inspired by other already existing stories, here you could find some Disneys Second Movie about The Little Mermaid parts. Nevertheless I really enjoyed watching the movie, the music is nice with the catchy 'Queen of the Waves'song. Of course also this time Barbie is accompanied with some cute talking friends, a pink dolphin and a little seal.
I loved how the mermaid world is worked out with the malls, the mermaids and the high level of fashion you may not expect under water with something so in-practical as a long tail.
I thought the movie was really nice, also for older people...I'm 17..the story contains nice parts, I watched with my little girl-next-door of 6 years old and she totally loved it.
At last I have to say that I liked the little pun in the title choosing for Barbie in Mermaid tale instead of Story because one pronounces tale in the same way as tail ..and let the whole thing be that Barbie goes Mermaid here :)....
