As a father, I must say, I enjoyed this movie with our little daughter back in 2000! And my Wife and I still love it! There's just something about Mom & Dad sitting down to enjoy a good, morally-clean, fun family movie with kids! Barney beats most of the sub-culture trash movies out there that our little ones are forced to watch.Research has shown that movies and cartoons have a great impact on little minds. Indiscriminate TV watching has resulted in kids throwing tantrums, being disrespectful to authority, and lazy lay-a bouts that couldn't care less about helping around in the home. It all comes back to parenting! The kids become what the parents are. So if parents watch trash...the kids will think that's good for them too. Monkey see, monkey do. Barney helps keep trash out of the living room!If children see parents spending a few moments to pray together each day...their peace and contentment in life will be great. The film industry leaves much to be desired when looked at from this angle.-Lance Marchetti-South Africa

This movie is getting such terrible reviews, and I don't understand why! Is it cheesy? YES. Does it make complete and logical sense? OF COURSE NOT. Why? BECAUSE IT IS A BARNEY MOVIE. Like all episodes of Barney, they are extremely cheesy and predictable. This movie is like a really long episode of barney. What I liked most about it compared to regular barney shows, was that there was much less loud and kid-sung songs. My son is 2 1/2 years old and absolutely loves this movie. I would chose this movie any day over a regular episode of Barney. He follows the simple story-line very easily and finds it highly entertaining.All of these reviews are adults complaining that this movie is annoying and cheesy. But to a child, it's silly and joyful. This movie was not meant to capture an adult's sense of humor or attention. It's for kids! Kids enjoy this movie, and that's all that matters. Why is everyone so upset that THEY didn't like it? It's Barney, for pete's sake!!

Utter Crap. First of all, when I was a kid, I used to enjoy Barney when it aired on PBS. Nowadays, I can't believe how moronic this movie is. The plot is nothing more than a lot of bore. The characters are all babyish. Cody is the least favorite 'cause I think he's a jerk. In the beginning, his sister and her best friend act like a couple of mini-teenagers. And Barney, YES Barney, is, pardon my language, the crappiest crap in the history of crap if it were dumped on by a pile of horse crap, the crap will be too heavy if you try to pick up the crap with a crap scooper. If you want something that defines the meaning of the word "adventure", Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom would be an excellent choice. I'm sure it's got more action(and I mean it!) than "Barney's Greatest Adventure". -100 stars out of 100.

At 18 I cannot stand the show, I mean I loved it as a kid, but now re-visiting like I like to do with some of my childhood favourites, I was surprised at how childish, simplistic and annoying it was. I was told that the movie Barney's Great Adventure was worse, so I gave it the benefit of the doubt and went ahead and watched it. After watching it, it is marginally better than the show, but that isn't saying much. As I have said, if you are expecting for more than just an extended episode of the TV show, you may find yourself disappointed. This leads to my first criticism, and it is that the story structure is very simplistic and episodic, it really did feel that it was an extended episode of the TV show.The script is awful, made up of truly banal and childish writing, no improvement whatsoever on the show's writing, and the multicoloured sets look flat and dull. To make things worse the choreography in the song and dance routines is very basic, and the songs themselves are forgettable at best, complete with cringe worthy lyrics and out of tune singing. The characters I couldn't relate to at all and as the film progressed I cared about them less and less, Barney is even more annoying than he is in the show, which is a hard feat considering how he is one of the most annoying characters ever. The children have dull-as-dishwater personalities, the grandparents are underused and BJ is just as annoying as Barney. It is pretty much the same with Baby Bop, who I admittedly found cute once upon a time, but other than one or two cute parts where she is trying to find "her yellow blankee" she is annoying and she is sickly sweet in alternative to naturally sweet.The acting is really not great, and the voice acting of Barney and BJ especially is really uninspired. The child actors are dull, like their characters and can't do anything with the script. Not even the underrated George Hearn, who was so brilliant in Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, can save this film, with his character being so underused it is not hard to see why. In fact, for me the only redeeming quality is the magical scene in the hot-air balloons. Overall, a bad movie, it isn't the worst movie I have ever seen, and while kids will love it, adults won't most likely. It doesn't help that the show isn't the best inspiration to work from and that is an understatement in itself. 2/10 Bethany Cox
