Skip it unless you've got young kids who need a Barbie fix—this is a perfectly serviceable direct-to-DVD fairy tale retelling with zero surprises and the animation quality of early 2000s straight-to-streaming fare. There are better animated fairy tales out there, and better Barbie movies if you're committed to the brand.
