Summary: 4 Stars
This is the 1st Barbie movie my daughter and I have seen. So I can't compare it to the other ones (which I personally don't care about since I came here to read reviews about THIS movie only). We really enjoyed this. I'm surprised so many children are that scared at the "scary" parts of this movie...the bad goblin guys (forget the names) are pretty funny...yes, their goal is to eat butterfly fairies but they never really get that close and it made my daughter laugh to watch their bumbling. Even at the "scariest" parts, all she did was hold her breath for a second or 2, but at this point, she has come to realize that in any movie like this the ending will be a happy one. If I'm ever worried she hasn't gotten that point, I make sure I tell her and she's fine. Without an antagonist, what would make any of these movies interesting? The storyline is cute and we found it easy to follow (although after only 1 viewing, yeah, it's a bit hard to recall all of the character's names). I liked that they included some Latin characters, although the main charcter, Mariposa, didn't sound Latina at all...I thought that wasn't very accurate, especially with the name "Mariposa". I haven't let my daughter watch any of the Barbie movies because I figured they'd be very superficial about beauty, etc. but this had a nice storyline about believing in yourself and having confidence. The 2 characters who ARE superficial end up seeing the error of their ways, and the lead female character saves the day. Really, what more can you expect from a fairy movie? And I wasn't bothered at all that this wasn't "Barbie" herself but her friend - who thought this wasn't about Mariposa? That's the title of the movie! After seeing this, I feel much better about letting my daughter watch other Barbie movies. And if all of the people who compared this movie to the others are right (that it's very similar) then good...because we LIKED this one!Movie Review: Beautiful animation/far- fetched and boring storyline
Summary: 2 Stars
I have to say I was disappointed with this movie. This "storyline" if you want to call it that was almost identical to that in Fairytopia. There were way too many characters for a young girl to keep track of and the story just goes on and on with some ridiculous "plot" of good fairy vs. evil fairy. The evil fairy who.... guess what?? put the Queen fairy to sleep with a magic flower.. isn't that what happened in Fairytopia???? Anyway in a word I rate this: BORING and really not appropriate for young children as it is scary and confusing to follow. Obviously just trying to sell more dolls.Movie Review: Not that bad.
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie is not as bad as other reviewers have stated. My daughters (8 and 10) and I have enjoyed all the Barbie movies since we first saw Barbie and the Nutcracker when they were 2 and 4. My daughters still enjoy Barbie and the Barbie movies, so the one reviewer who stated that Barbie is only for 3-5 year olds is not correct. Could this movie scare younger girls, yes, but not any worse than Sleeping Beauty, Snow White, or the Little Mermaid. My girls and my boys both enjoyed this movie. We give it a thumbs up.Movie Review: Not Barbie's best work!
Summary: 1 Stars
My daughters love Barbie movies, because they're usually less scary than Disney Princess movies. My husband and I like Barbie movies because they usually depict very brave, very strong female characters (not just someone waiting around to get rescued!) We usually end up buying these movies on the first day they came out and watching them over and over until the next "new" one -- this one, however, is a little too scary, and the story is basically recycled from older Barbie movies. Elina only shows up for a little while, even though she's on the cover. There are no songs that I can remember, and the whole thing just seemed rushed.
