To the stars! Barbie leaves her terrestrial comfort zone for an interstellar story in Barbie: Star Light Adventure, a film that puts the world famous figure in the middle of a galactic plan to save the universe's light. Even as the film ventures beyond its more traditional borders -- more familiar lands of magic, excitement, and high technology -- it remains comfortably constructed around the same basic themes of trust, friendship, and faith in one's abilities and place in the world, or here, universe. It's as colorful as one would expect, not all that dramatically imaginative by any measure, but it is a fun little jaunt through the colorful environments, fun-loving adventures, and well-meaning themes fans have come to expect from the series.
Barbie! Ah-ahh! Savior of the universe!
It's Barbie, so that must mean lots and lots of color. Pinks, purples, and blues to be precise. Barbie: Star Light Adventure never fails to splash these colors onto the screen. Clothes, hair, accents, creatures, environments, nothing is spared the Barbie color treatment. Other shades come into play, too, notably rich natural greens on her home planet, but the predominance of pink, purple, and blue defines the movie and, really, the entire video presentation. Detail is fine. The animation isn't the most complex in existence, favoring a somewhat plastic-y texture that stays in line with the toys, but the Blu-ray is certainly adept at bringing out the finest textural nuances the digital artists have placed in the movie, evident largely on attire and various creatures. Light banding and occasional bursts of aliasing interfere, but the little ones shouldn't care. Beyond those bugaboos, this is a very nice and stable presentation from Universal.
Barbie: Star Light Adventure features a high energy and very involved DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 lossless soundtrack. The track is full powered and very aggressive, particularly in its engagement of the surrounds and the subwoofer. Both are used to enjoyable effect, each pushed nearly to extreme but preserving a sense of balance to the presentation. Bass is plentiful and deep, supporting effects and music alike with both depth and weight. Surround activity is high and expertly folded into the mains for a stage saturating presentation. Effects are clear and detailed. Positioning is natural in reference to the happenings on-screen. Movement is smooth around the stage. Dialogue is clear and well prioritized with natural front-center placement. A very good example of reverberation comes around the 20-minute mark when Barbie enters a cavernous hall.
Barbie: Star Light Adventure contains a couple of music videos, "bloopers," and two shorts. A DVD copy of the film and a voucher for a
UV/iTunes digital copy are included with purchase.
Barbie: Star Light Adventure certainly doesn't break any new ground, even with its Sci-Fi stylings and storyline. Beyond the fresh, but familiar, coat of paint is an equally familiar collection of themes that are fine and comfortable within the Barbie universe. The film will appeal to series fans, and some of the Sci-Fi-minded adults might find it a bit more palatable than most franchise films, color assault and all. Universal's Blu-ray release of Barbie: Star Light Adventure features solid video and excellent audio. Supplements are few but should appeal to the younger ones. Recommended.
