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

Top CriticAlthough technically superior to the low-rent Barney videos, pic, which was shot in the country near Montreal, still has a bargain-budget look.

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

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

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.
01/01/00
Top CriticThe 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.

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