SHE may be famous, but she has never appeared in a movie before.

Now Barbie doll can lay claim to being a real film star -- thanks to a new video based on the classical ballet, "Barbie the Nutcracker".

It makes a change from the agressive antics of Pokemon and it is back to the basics of fairytale land for makers Right Entertainment.

Girls will love the dancing scenes caught by clever animation of the New York Ballet. Boys will love the evil monsters and sinister Mouse King.

In fact, writes Gayle Evans, my kids loved it so much they watched it non-stop THREE times! It even went to school to bewitch classroom pals.

It is out on October 29 and costs £15.99.
