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.

"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

Wow! Some of the reviews on this flick are freakin' HARSH-CITY! Here's a News Flash to some reviewers: THIS MOVIE WAS NOT MADE FOR YOU!!

I've got two daughters, ages 6 and 9. They both enjoyed it, particularly my 6 year old who was jumping up off the couch because she was totally getting into the movie. The thing I noticed the most was how much they were smiling and giggling throughout the entire film. (Isn't that what these films are all about?

I thought the voice acting was fine, and the computer animation was on par with all the other BARBIE movies we have in our collection.

I asked them what their score would be for this, and they both said "It was AWESOME!" So, I give it TEN STARS for its intended audience.

The bottom line is that NOTHING IS WRONG WITH THIS MOVIE CONSIDERING THE TARGET AUDIENCE, AND BOTH OF MY DAUGHTERS GREATLY ENJOYED THIS FILM!

And that's what really matters the most.

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.

It's one of those movies that leave you wanting more. The development between Barbie and Raquel was better than I expected. I liked that it didn't just focus on Barbie. Ken's little segments were always a joy. I do wish we got more world building and logistics but this is a Barbie movie. The fashion fairies were fun. I will say I want more of this and I was left with questions about the villain. I feel like they could've done more with her character too. I think this is a really fun and funny movie to watch with friends. The characters are intriguing. Ken was not all that though. TLDR really good, wanted more but that doesn't matter.
