The classic Dickens' taleA Christmas Carolgets a Barbie makeover in  this animated holiday program about the evils of selfishness. As Barbie and  Kelly are preparing for a Christmas Eve charity fundraiser, Kelly complains that  the new event is interfering with the family's Christmas Eve traditions. Barbie  takes the opportunity to tell her sister an important Christmas story set in  Victorian England. The story is in essence the classic story of Ebenezer  Scrooge, but with Eden Starling (Barbie) standing in for Scrooge, Catherine for  Bob Cratchit, and young orphan Tammy for Tiny Tim. Eden is a self-centered star  whose new stage show is about to open and who lives her life by the decree that  "In a selfish world, the selfish succeed." Completely lacking in Christmas  spirit, Eden insists that her best friend and costume designer Catherine, as  well as her other co-stars, cancel their holiday plans to work on Christmas day.  Eden's peaceful Christmas Eve slumber is interrupted by visits from the spirits  of Christmas past, Christmas present, and Christmas future and each brings  visions of misery and despair. Finally realizing that her own actions have a  direct impact on the future happiness of herself and others, Eden reconsiders  her selfish ways and commits to a more caring and generous way of life. While  some traditionalists may cringe at the liberties taken with Dickens' well-known  story,Barbie in A Christmas Carolis a powerful program that encourages  the virtues of caring and compassion in children ages three and older.--Tami  HoriuchiBeyondBarbie in a Christmas Carolon DVDMore Barbie on DVDBarbie in a Christmas Carolin SpanishThe Barbie StoreStills fromBarbie in a Christmas Carol(click for larger image)
