Barbie and The Three Musketeers is the 16th Barbie movie. It was released on September 15, 2009, and it made its TV premiere on Nickelodeon on November 22, 2009.[1] It is based on the novel The Three Musketeers by Alexander Dumas.

Official Summary[]

Join Barbie as Corinne, a young country girl headed to Paris to pursue her big dream – to become a female musketeer! Never could she imagine she would meet three other girls who secretly share the same dream! Using their special talents, the girls work together as a team to foil a plot and save the prince. Come along on an action-filled adventure that dares you to dream as never before.

Story[]

In 17th-century France, Corinne, a spirited seventeen-year-old girl portrayed by Barbie, resides on a quaint farm with her mother. Inspired by the legendary tales of her father, D'Artagnan, a renowned Musketeer, Corinne harbors a fervent dream of following in his footsteps. Alongside her, Miette, her playful kitten with aspirations of becoming a "mus-cat-eer," adds a touch of whimsy to their shared ambition.

Their journey to Paris, the bustling heart of France, brims with anticipation. However, the grandeur of the capital quickly gives way to the harsh realities of ridicule and skepticism. Philippe, the cunning cousin and advisor to Prince Louis, emerges as a formidable adversary, his disdain mirrored by his mischievous dog, Brutus. A misadventure involving Brutus and a crucial letter destined for Monsieur Treville serves as an initial setback, yet it leads Corinne to Madame de Bossé and her eventual role as a palace maid.

Within the opulent confines of Prince Louis' palace, Corinne's path intertwines with Viveca, Aramina, and Renée, portrayed by Summer, Teresa, and Nikki respectively. Their initial apprehensions and misunderstandings evolve into a profound bond, solidifying their alliance in pursuit of a shared dream. The discovery of a sabotaged chandelier, coupled with a mysterious gem and a clandestine encounter with the enigmatic elderly maid, Helen, unveils a hidden musketeer training room. Under Hélène's expert tutelage, the quartet transforms into formidable musketeers, honing their skills and fortifying their resolve.

Amidst the backdrop of burgeoning romance and political intrigue, as Corinne and Prince Louis' affections blossom, a shadow of treachery looms large. Phillippe's nefarious machinations, including a perilous hot-air balloon incident and a sinister plot to assassinate Prince Louis at the masquerade ball, propel the narrative toward a thrilling crescendo.

The masquerade ball emerges as a pivotal juncture, a dazzling tableau of suspense, romance, and heroism. Disguised beneath masks, Corinne and her friends navigate a treacherous labyrinth of deception and danger, culminating in a dramatic confrontation with Phillippe and his malevolent cohorts.

The narrative reaches its triumphant zenith with the arrest of the conspirators and the proclamation of Corinne, Viveca, Aramina, and Renee as royal musketeers. Their valor and camaraderie echo through the corridors of history, immortalized by the iconic proclamation, "All for one, and One for all!"

As the tale draws to a close, Corinne and her intrepid companions, poised for their next adventure, exemplify the transformative power of dreams, friendship, and courage. Their odyssey from humble beginnings to revered musketeers serves as a timeless testament to the indomitable spirit of adventure that resides within us all, a beacon of hope and inspiration that transcends the boundaries of time.

Amazon.com Interview[]

Transcript[]

Leah Weathersby: This is Leah Weathersby with Amazon.com, and I'm chatting with Barbie. Barbie, thank you so much for talking with us.
Barbie: Oh, it's my pleasure, Leah.
Leah Weathersby: Well, the last time we talked, you had just wrapped up your movie Barbie in A Christmas Carol. What have you been doing since then?
Barbie: I've just wrapped filming on Barbie and The Three Musketeers, and this movie is a Barbie adventure like never before! My best friends, Teresa, Summer, Nikki and I are princesses on an adventure to save the prince. Along the way, we discover that, despite our differences, we have a common dream to become the first girl musketeers! This is a classic tale that we all know and love, but reinterpreted with a fun twist. From a hilarious cast of characters to a fabulous masquerade ball, the DVD is packed with unapologetically all-girl fun!
Leah Weathersby: Well, in your movie Barbie and The Three Musketeers, you play Corinne. Tell us about your character.
Barbie: Oh, I was so excited to play the role of Corinne, a countryside girl with big dreams to become a musketeer. I have a lot in common with her; we both dream big and believe that if you put your mind to it, anything is possible.
Leah Weathersby: This is your first time starring in a movie with your friends Teresa and Nikki and Summer. What's the best thing about working with best friends?
Barbie: Working with my BFFs makes me feel like the luckiest girl in the world! Despite our very unique talents and personalities, we all find a way to balance each other's strengths through a common bond: Girl power! Every girl deserves a great group of friends. Their own real life musketeers!
Leah Weathersby: I've heard you have some action scenes in this movie. Was it fun to learn swordfighting?
Barbie: Oh, it was such a blast! I'm always up for trying new things! I love exploring the world and all of its possibilities, not to mention my glittery sword was the perfect fashion accessory on set.
Leah Weathersby: In this movie, you and your friends save a handsome prince rather than waiting for a prince to save you. Is there a message you'd like your fans to take from this story?
Barbie: Barbie and The Three Musketeers gives girls a story that combines classic princesses with modern girl power. While I know girls love to play the princess, they also want to play the hero and save the prince, not be saved. After watching the movie, girls will be reminded that they can achieve anything they set their minds to.
Leah Weathersby: This movie is set in Paris. What was your favorite thing about filming in the city, and did you have any time for sightseeing?
Barbie: When filming in the fashion capital of the world, sightseeing and shopping are a must! From the Eiffel Tower to the Arc de Triomphe, my friends took in the sights, and of course snapped a few glamor shots along the way.
Leah Weathersby: Well, speaking of fashion, you're not just an actress but you're also a fashion muse, and you were recently honored at fashion week. What was it like seeing designers create clothes inspired by your style?
Barbie: It was an amazing honor. To participate in a runway show in the tents among some of my favorite designers was an experience I'll never forget. Fifty fabulous, iconic American designers from Diane von Furstenberg to Vera Wang all created amazing, one-of-a-kind looks inspired by yours truly! It was a tremendous honor. Christian Louboutin even made fifty custom pink heels for the occasion. It was a fashionista's greatest honor.
Leah Weathersby: Do you have any other new movies coming out soon?
Barbie: I'm excited about a new movie I'm filming called Barbie in A Mermaid Tale, which was filmed in my hometown of Malibu, California. I play a girl named Merliah, who's a surfer with a secret: She's also a mermaid! Make sure to look out for it in Spring 2010!
Leah Weathersby: Well Barbie, thank you again so much for talking with us and congratulations on your new movie.
Barbie: Thank you so much, Leah, it's always a pleasure.

Trivia[]

Allusions to the original story[]

  • While speaking to Trèville, Corinne says her father's name is D'Artagnan. D'Artagnan is one of the protagonists in the original novel.
  • Like the hot-blooded D'Artagnan, Corinne is shown as a brave and feisty young woman who gets angry when people tell her that girls can’t be Musketeers.
  • Alexander, Corinne's horse, is a nod to the author of the Three Musketeers novel, Alexandre Dumas.
  • When the other girls invited Corinne to stay with them, Viveca mentions that their former roommate was Constance. In the novel, Constance Bonacieux is the woman that D'Artagnan falls in love with.
  • One of the guests at the masquerade ball is introduced as the Countess de Winter. She is named after Milady de Winter, one of the antagonists from the original story.
  • Monsieur Trèville, the captain of the Musketeers in the film, is named after the captain in the original story, Monsieur de Trèville.
  • The part when Corinne accidentally falls on each of three girls and makes them angry is similar to the part in the novel when D'Artagnan accidentally ends up falling into each of the Musketeers and making them challenge him to the duel.
  • Corinne’s hometown is Gascony, which is the name of D’Artagnan’s family estate in the novel.
  • Prince Louis is named after King Louis XIII from the novel.
  • The famous fleur-de-lis, which was branded on the villainess Milady de Winter in the story, is on the fronts of the tunics worn by the Musketeers in the film.
  • Aramina and Renée are named after René Aramis, one of the original novel's protagonists.
  • Paris, which is France’s capital city and the center location of the original story, is also the location for the film.
  • In the original novel, D'Artagnan's father gives him a pony. In the film, Corinne's mom gives her 15 crowns and the horse, just like in the novel.

Goofs[]

  • Corinne, Viveca, Aramina and Renée wear pumps for the Masquerade Ball, though when they transform into musketeers, they're wearing boots.
  • When Aramina transforms into musketeer, the gem in the middle of her necklace is missing.
  • When Renée is shown playing the violin at the beginning of the movie (before she falls in the fountain), you can see that the sound holes on the violin are too far down.
  • When Corinne first arrives at the ball, she has her hair down. However, it suddenly becomes a bun when she changes into her musketeer outfit.
