The thirteenth entry in the Barbie film series, the film features the voice of Kelly Sheridan as Barbie and the cover of the song "Connected" recorded by Katharine McPhee. It follows the story of Liana and Alexa (the in-universe roles of the dolls, Barbie and Teresa)[4] on their journey to find the mysterious diamond castle.[5][1]
Liana and Alexa are two friends who share a love for music, and live in a cottage where they grow and sell flowers for a living. One day, they find two heart-shaped stones and make them into necklaces to symbolize their friendship. That evening, a storm occurs, destroying their garden. The next day, Liana offers her food to a poor, old woman who gives them a mirror in exchange. Later, the two hear a voice from the mirror and find a girl inside it named Melody. The trio bond over music and Melody teaches them a song; but they are soon attacked by a dragon named Slyder. They manage to escape him, but their cottage catches fire and burns down.
Melody explains that she was once the apprentice of the three Muses, Dori, Phaedra, and Lydia, who lived in the Diamond Castle. Lydia turned evil and planned to take the Diamond castle for herself. After hiding the castle and entrusting Melody with its key, Lydia turned the other Muses into stone; Melody, fleeing Slyder, hid and inadvertently trapped herself inside the mirror. Melody tells Liana and Alexa that Lydia can be defeated if they play the Muses' instruments. Liana insists on helping Melody and Alexa reluctantly agrees. On their journey, Liana and Alexa adopt two puppies, naming them Sparkles and Lily. The girls are confronted by Lydia who orders them to hand over Melody. When they refuse, Lydia attempts to hypnotize them with her flute but they are shielded by the stones on their necklaces (revealed to be from the Diamond Castle). The girls escape with the help of twins Ian and Jeremy who join them on their journey; but are separated when Liana and Alexa are carried off by a magic bridge.
Liana and Alexa arrive at a mansion and are greeted by its hosts who, hypnotized by Lydia, tell them that they are the mansion's prophesied owners. Alexa suggests abandoning their quest and remaining in the mansion, causing her and Liana to argue. Liana and Melody leave and Alexa angrily takes off her necklace, whereupon she is captured and hypnotized by Lydia. Liana and Melody are abducted by Slyder. Alexa is ordered to leap off a ledge if Melody does not surrender the castle's key. Melody agrees, to save her and Liana; but as she and Lydia leave, Slyder knocks them off the ledge anyway. Liana manages to hang on to the ledge and Alexa, before returning Alexa's necklace and breaking Lydia's spell.
Thinking the Diamond Castle can bring Melody back, the girls realize that the song Melody taught them is the key. They sing together and the Diamond Castle reappears. Stepping inside, Liana and Alexa are magically given new dresses and Melody is freed from the mirror. The girls enter the music room, but Lydia returns with Slyder. The three of them play the Muses' instruments and sing together, overpowering Lydia and turning her and Slyder to stone. The other Muses are freed and Lydia's spells are all undone.
Liana and Alexa are crowned princesses of music and Melody becomes a Muse. Melody invites them to live in the castle, but they choose instead to return to their old life with their new pets; the Muses give the two magic seeds which blossom instantly into golden flowers. Back to the present, Stacie realizes nothing can break true friendship and goes to apologize to Courtney; Barbie and Teresa happily resume playing music.

Barbie & The Diamond Castle is the 13th Barbie movie. It premiered on Nickelodeon on September 7, 2008,[1] and it was released to DVD on September 9, 2008. It is a musical fairy tale about two girls named Princess Liana, played by Barbie and Princess Alexa, played by Teresa. It is a story about friendship and music.
"One day their simple lives change when they are given an enchanted mirror and befriend the girl trapped inside! To save their new friend, Liana and Alexa embark on a dangerous journey to the hidden Diamond Castle, that will put their friendship to the test. But through the power of song and with the companionship of two adorable puppies, the girls face their challenges together and learn that friendship is the true treasure."
The movie begins with Barbie and Teresa writing a song together on their guitars when Barbie's sister Stacie storms in, angry with her friend Courtney. Barbie decides to tell Stacie the story of two friends named Liana and Alexa, who also get angry at each other.
Although the two girls don't have much food and clothes, they have each other, love music, and depend on planting flowers to upkeep their living. They live in a cottage with a beautiful garden in the front yard. One day, they find a pair of heart-shaped stones in the river near their house, not realizing they are the mythical Diamond Castle trinkets. Suddenly, a windy rainstorm occurs that destroys their garden.
When they go inside to stay out of the rain, they turn the heart-shaped stones into necklaces to symbolize their friendship. The next day, after sharing their bread and jam with an old homeless woman, she allows them to take one of her treasures in exchange, and they pick a heart-shaped mirror, but neither of them knows that it's the hiding place of Melody, an apprentice muse on the run from Lydia, who turned evil and turned the other two muses, Dori and Phaedra, into stone after they hid their home the Diamond Castle and left Melody the key. Since the Diamond Castle is the birthplace of all music, Lydia's finding it would mean the end of music and with it, eventually the world. Liana and Alexa coax a song out of Melody by singing and a flying serpent serving Lydia named Slyder is able to locate the young muse by her voice.
With their home burnt down by Slyder, Alexa and Liana head off with Melody to find the Diamond Castle and keep it safe from Lydia, finding two small puppies on their way. Liana names one Sparkles and Alexa names the other Lily. But with no food or money, they eagerly take the place of two wayward musicians at an inn that evening. The always-late musicians, twin boys named Ian and Jeremy hear the girls play and sing and instantly fall for them, but the girls leave them behind at the inn. No sooner are they out of the town than Lydia confronts them, using her magic flute to mesmerize them, but the stones on their necklaces, which are originally from the Diamond Castle itself, protect them.
Unable to mesmerize them, Lydia sends Slyder to get them, but just before he can, the twins from the inn arrive on their horses, and the four of them give Slyder the slip. The women travel with the twins, who wind up running into a troll they had managed to trick the last time they met. The troll vows to eat the boys this time unless the girls answer his riddle. They do, which not only frees the boys but reveals a rainbow bridge that carries the girls off, leaving the boys behind. Liana and Alexa continue to travel but soon run out of food and water.
Liana then spots a mansion in the middle of a wood, and when they go in there for shelter, the servants of it, who are under Lydia's power, tell them that they're the house's prophesied owners and that a legend about two best friends has been foretold. Delighted to finally have more food to eat and more clothes to wear, Alexa decides to abandon the plan to help Melody, but Liana wants to honor the promise they made to Melody, and to this, the two get into an argument. After that, Liana leaves while Alexa stays, ripping off her necklace for Liana's apparent betrayal.
Almost as soon as Liana's gone, Slyder arrives and takes Alexa to Lydia. Alexa tells Lydia that Melody is not with her, and Lydia jesters Slyder over, who sniffs Alexa's basket for the mirror when suddenly, Lily attaches herself to his teeth with her tongue. He swings the puppy around, sending her flying across the ground. After hearing from Slyder that there's no mirror, Lydia asks Alexa, "Where is your friend? Or should I say, ex-friend?" Alexa acts as if she doesn't know where Liana is, and Lydia pulls out her flute to mesmerize her, but Alexa insists that it doesn't work on her.
Lydia then says, "Bold words for a girl who no longer wears her necklace. As long as you and your friend wore your guardian stones, you were protected. But now..." And she plays her flute on Alexa to get Liana's location, and because Alexa is no longer wearing the heart-shaped stone which would've protected her, she is easily put under Lydia's power. Alexa tells Lydia that Liana and Melody are heading to the seven stones (where the Diamond Castle is hidden), and Lydia sends Slyder to capture Liana.
After Slyder captures Liana, Lydia uses a mesmerized Alexa to threaten Melody into telling her where to find the Diamond Castle. Although Lydia promises to release Liana and Alexa once the Diamond Castle is hers, Slyder knocks the two girls over a cliff, and they very narrowly escape falling into some kind of glowing, green lava-like acid. Lily tosses Alexa's necklace down to Liana, and she uses it on Alexa to undo Lydia's spell. After that, they manage to climb up the cliff when Sparkles leads the twins to where they are, and together, they all head to the Diamond Castle's hiding place.
