I have to agree with Grace261998. I too feel that Kelly Sheridan is the best voice as the Barbie character, (whoever she may be portraying. But we should not just choose a movie by a particular voice, but by the WHOLE movie. We see that Merliah has to come to grips with the fact that she is NOT just a surfing champion, but also a princess as well, with certain responsibilities as such. And we see that she does make some tough choices about herself & her future in this movie, which is why I so enjoyed it. I am a major animation lover. I am also a male, & 58 y/o, & I will never loose my love of animation. Virtually all the Barbie movies have been created with intriguing storylines, believable characters, wonderful music, (in many of them), & for the style of animation used in these movies, high-quality artwork as well. I would certainly recommend this movie.
