‘Barbie & The Diamond Castle’ DVD Movie, Soundtrack And Toy Line Extend Barbie’s Appeal

Barbie™ stars in her first-ever “best friends” movie, “Barbie™ & The Diamond Castle,” an original musical fairytale that will touch the hearts and minds of girls worldwide while casting Barbie™ alongside her best friend co-star Teresa™. The CGI animated, full-length, made-for-DVD movie was released today by Universal Studios Home Entertainment on the heels of the September 2nd CD release of the “Barbie™ & The Diamond Castle” CD soundtrack, featuring “Connected,” performed by Katharine McPhee.

Rounding out this fall’s new Barbie™ experience are dazzling princess dolls, twinkling accessories and elaborate playsets that encourage creative play and imagination and allow girls to play out the magic of the movie over and over again.

“Barbie was such an iconic figure during my childhood,” said McPhee. “I am so excited and honored to be a part of this video.”

“The power and success of Barbie movies – now approaching 60 million units sold worldwide – is due to the unparalleled connection Barbie has with girls and their families,” said Richard Dickson, General Manager and Senior Vice President, Barbie. “Families embrace Barbie entertainment for the rich lessons and values our movies inspire, while girls love Barbie entertainment for the magical storylines, memorable music and imaginative play they can experience through the toys.”
