Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I am twelve, so it is rather weird for me to say that I really enjoyed this movie! Last autumn my parents got it from the library for my little brother, who is two. I was sure it would be a normal boring Barney movie, so I didn't watch it. Then I took a peek at the movie in the middle, just after they lost the egg, and wathced until the end. The next day I watched from the beginning until where I left off. It is better than anything Barney has done so far! I especially liked it because I was rather depressed at the time, and the themes of the movie were to use your imagination and never give up.
The movie starts when Abagail, a girl of about eight, her older brother Cody, and Abagail's best friend Marcella, all take a trip to Grandma and Grandpa's farm. Cody is a pessimist and is not looking forward to the trip, so when the two girls try to get him to play pretend with them, he steals their Barney doll and hides it in the shower. Then Barney comes to life! Cody keeps trying to get rid of him or at least show him to their grandparents to prove that he is not real, but nithing works. That night Cody is encouraged by Barney to wish upon a star, so Cody bursts out, "I wish we could have a real adventure this summer! Do things no one else has done before. That would be cool."
Cody's wish came true in an unexpected way when the star he wishes upon falls from the sky and turns into an egg that Cody finds in his barn the next day. The three kids and Barney take the egg to Mrs. Goldfinch, an eccentric lady who loves birds. After a lot of research, she tells them that it is a Dream Maker and that when all five rings change color they must take it back to the place where Cody first found it, the barn. Just then the egg falls out the window, and the adventure that follows includes a parade, a fancy French restaraunt, a circus, and a balloon launching. In the end Cody learns that imagination is a great thing to have.
The movie has some wonderful songs, including "Barney's world of imagination," "Imagine," "What's inside it?," "We're gonna find a way," and "You can do anything (from the credits)." For once, the Barney kids were not goody-goody, and did not seem to be reciting their lines in the boring monotone that is on the TV show, but with real expression. Probably the dumbest scene was when the man was driving and cooking at the same time. It is a great movie that people of all ages will enjoy, and it also teaches the lessons of perseverance and imagination without rubbing in morals. Everyone in my family, my little brother, me, even my parents, thought it was really good.

Barney and his pals take a trip to Grandpa's farm and find that a magical egg--which is due to hatch any moment--is missing. As opposed to the studio-bound television show, this feature film has a lot more visual diversity and is a bright, good-looking production. Barney fans will appreciate the broader production scale--even if they don't realize it. -Tom Keogh
