Barbie: A Fairy Secret

I think I understand the messages they were trying to get across with this film, women can be heroes, forgiveness and that you have to make an effort with friendship, but all they imaged to get across is that the important things in life are shoes, dresses and boyfriends. Barbie doesn't even care when her two friends leave at the end of the film.

The writers just took the storyline and the characters from Mariposa and A Mermaid Tale, added Ken and some inane dialogue to make it sound clever - "ugh, too many apps". I assume the action figures and merchandising are already available in the foyer??

All the things that made the early Barbie thing special - character development, original storyline, catchy songs, emotion, humour etc are missing. All we're left with is an empty, shallow 70 minutes of bright noise.

Avoid. For your children's sake.

This movie is incredible, it changed my life. About 10 years ago or so, i went to prison for tax evasion (yes, like shakira) and just recently i had gotten out and the first thing my newborn daughter (she was a miracle as i was in prison and my wife still got pregnant 😁) wanted to see was this movie. I fell in love with it. Its the only thing i watch now. I watch every it night before bed and at every meal and every single morning. This movie has influenced my life in a way jail never will. Im a changed 43 year old man now.

Barbie: A Fairy Secret is great! The story it tells builds well and is a fun adventure from start to finish. The voice acting is terrific along with the music. The animation is gorgeous and the rivalry to friendship relationship between Raquelle and Barbie is honestly my favorite part. Overall, it's an enjoyable film.

"Barbie: A Fairy Secret" is the story of how Barbie discovers that fairies really do exist. When a fairy princess captures her boyfriend Ken, Barbie along with her costar, Raquelle, and two of Barbie's stylists, head out to rescue him from Gloss Angeles, a floating town filled with fairies. I really like the animation in this movie, especially how each of the characters are drawn. Barbie's eyes glisten like jewels and get me into the fairy mood. Each scene bursts with color, like their hangout Wally's.

I also love how every piece of clothing has a modern twist. I wish I could have two fairies as my personal stylists.

The movie also has great music that makes me want to dance.

Barbie is already friends with her two fashion stylists at the beginning of the movie, but is uneasy around her rival Raquelle. Raquelle is jealous of Barbie, so what will happen when they get twisted up in this magical world together?

When Ken is forced to marry fairy princess Graziella he realizes how much he loves Barbie but lots of trouble stands in their way. Don't worry, because Barbie will do anything to get Ken back.

Girls ages two to ten will really enjoy this movie filled with friends, fashion and adventure. Will Raquelle and Barbie ever be friends? How will they get into the magical world? Will they rescue Ken? Find out when you watch "Barbie: a Fairy Secret." Credit: Makai Weber Colvin, Age 9, KIDS FIRST! Film Critic

These movies are getting worse and worse. Bring back the old style and old Barbie. They are also not entirely appropriate for a 3-5 year old. Sad. They have attempted to modernize Barbie and taken away her sweetness and innocence and made her into an annoying teenager with a cell phone. She doesn't even look like Barbie anymore. The fantasy is gone. Barbie is supposed to be hip and modern- it is like the movie producers are ignoring the 3-5 year old genre and targeting 8-10 year olds. But the main audience is 3-5. What 10 year old wants to watch this? That being said my 4 year old enjoyed it, but I am not sure I did and I am not sure I like the new influence. I think we will stick with old Barbie movies on reruns. This pales in comparison to Three Musketeers or Princess and the Pauper. Get those instead.
