That he has become a lightning rod for adult anger is, however, something of a curiosity. Until you spend some time in his world, that is.

Reviews for Barney - Barney's Great Adventure: The Movie
It's all rather clumsy and routine.

With very little modification, this archly innocuous children's musical could have been marketed as a sequel to Invasion of the Body Snatchers.

Top CriticIf you like him on TV, you'll like him here, too.

To those of us on the greying side of five years old, Barney looks like an eggplant and has a rigor-mortis smile, no shoulders, a huge rear end and the sort of nervous giggle that makes you think he has something to hide.

Top CriticPre-schoolers, however, will find enough to keep them occupied, and won't mind the cheesy effects.

Top CriticThose hoping for more than just a long, outdoor version of Barney's TV show, they will likely be disappointed.

Barney looks both more real and more magical on video; on film, he's clearly a doofus in a felt outfit.

Top CriticAlthough the film is longer than the television and video segments children this age are accustomed to, the pacing is brisk enough to hold them.

The movie has a flimsy plot, but who cares? Barney, one of the most popular television characters in history, is what viewers want to see, and there's plenty of him.
01/01/00
Top CriticAlthough its entertainment value to adults is negligible, it is a safe, harmless bet for families, one parents will neither regret nor fondly remember after it's over.

This spin-off from the TV series featuring the large purple felt dinosaur of awesome good nature is emetically wholesome.

What is it about that big purple dinosaur?
