Movie Reviews of Barbie Mariposa and Her Butterfly Friends
Movie Review: A white, blonde "Mariposa?"
Summary: 1 Stars
I haven't seen this movie, but I have seen the title. The audacity of Mattel to give their title character a Spanish name (mariposa means butterfly), and still make her yet again a blonde Caucasian is unbelievable. What kind of message is Mattel giving to the thousands upon thousands of Hispanic girls who buy their products? That their language is good enough to supply a name, but God forbid the title character actually be a Latina?Movie Review: compelled to disagree
Summary: 5 Stars
This is my first review. I'm compelled to because of my 4 year old daughter's fantasy inspired play thanks to this movie. It's about an academically inclined butterfly fairy who finds her confidence through her acquired knowledge. This knowledge becomes recognized by others, old friends, new friends, and employers who promote Mariposa to a position of leadership and trust through which she finds her own voice eliminating self doubt.
This is a great movie.
enjoy!
Movie Review: Fun Movie
Summary: 5 Stars
We have all of Barbie's movies, and this one is just as much a favorite as all of the others have been. Some of Barbie's movies have fewer scarey parts, but i have found that all of them have some sort of villian. And through the years my daughter has sometimes asked me to skip them, just as she does with some Disney movies. She's 5 now, and though she was a little uneasy with the skeezites at first, with my reassurance and me helping her make fun of them, she is fine. We are very partial to Barbie movies, because, as another reviewer put it, Barbie is always depicted as a strong character who stands up for herself and has an unwavering goodness. The stories all have good messages and are beautiful to watch, and many have lovely songs. If you haven't seen the other Barbie movies, I would highly recommend all of them. They are delightful. I would also recommend the soundtrack to The Princess and the Pauper. Oh yes, if you can find a copy of the CD-Rom for Rapunzel. It is amazingly fun! I am happy to sit for long periods playing with her, though it is quite simple enough for her to do it herself. If you're at all unsure about buying, go ahead and rent to see if your daughter likes it first. Happy viewing!Movie Review: Not as good as hoped

OK so what if i am almost 30, I am a girly girl and i'm a kid at heart. I have also grown up w/ Barbie but what girl hasn't? I have seen all the Barbie movies except the Pegasus one. I was so excited that Mariposa was finally out, but thankfully I rented it instead of bought it. I think they are getting better w/ the animation. I don't know why Mariposa had to receive glittered wings in the end, don't get me wrong I love glitter anything, but she has the prettiest wings, in my opinion they were better then everyone elses, they looked like beautiful stained glass. Anyway, the fish that tried to eat them was kinda freaky and ugly and I don't like that the fish or those other things tried to eat the fairies, why did they have to make villains like that? Nobody needs to be eaten! The story is not bad and the lesson that u learn from the movie is the best part. The lesson alone makes this great for little girls to see. But it still doesn't even come close to being as good as Princess & The Pauper, 12 Dancing Princess, Fairytopia & The Island Princess. Can't wait to see what they do for the next one! :-)Movie Review: Just AWFUL!!!!!!!! If you let your little girls see this one....

You know...I am so sick of these "childrens" stories that have sinister stuff in them! Haunting characters wanting to eat other characters!!??!! Gross! There's enough garbage out there! Can't we have a "Barbie" movie without all the "non-Barbie" crap! Oh wait, that's right...it's got to be gross to be appealing! So, let's pretend for a moment...I'm a Mattel person sitting at a round table discussing the next great little girls movie and I have this fabulous idea of injecting stupid characters that eat other characters! Brilliant!! Where do these great minds come from with these great ideas?!? If you haven't bought it, don't. If you have, demand your money back if you are remotely disgusted at your young daughters watching this. Plain and simple...they shouldn't be watching. Play a game with your child or something instead. I'm sure you will get raver reviews than this movie from your kid. FYI - this movie is NOT RATED! Wonder why????? And for those of you who ~value the music and colors in the movie~ here's an idea for you. Buy some good ole classic orchestra/symphony CDs and play them at the same time your coloring pictures in brilliant color schemes with your child. MUCH BETTER! Get with it people. These movies are NOT for young children. If they were, they'd be RATED G!!!!
