Barbie : Fairytopia

In general, the Barbie movies are not held in high regard on IMDb. However, I admit I do like them. I don't consider either of them the best movies in the world, but they are sweet and charming on the whole. Fairytopia is not my favourite(I have more of a soft spot for Nutcracker, Diamond Castle and Prince and the Pauper), but it shares pretty much the same attributes that make the Barbie movies in the first place. It is not a perfect movie, with some dialogue that doesn't flow as well as it should and character designs that could've had more life and less of a plastic feel. However, the backgrounds and sceneries are very colourful, and I do like the whimsy of the music. The story, a fresh concept rather than a loose adaptation of an existing story, is cute and charming as you'd expect, and the characters while nothing exactly new are still likable. All in all, a very sweet movie. 7/10 Bethany Cox

What a great movie. Elina is one of the most relatable characters I've ever met. She is teased because she is different than the other fairies but has s friend who stand up for her. But she relizes later she has a gift to make a diffference. Overall good movie and love the message

I saw Fairytopia with my mom last night and it is the best in the Barbie series so far. I am in my mid-twenties but this movie brought back all the enchanting memories of my childhood. Elina the flower fairy was so cute and i loved her home in the magic meadow. I can't wait to start planting my own magic meadow this spring. I loved her friends Bibble and Hue and i couldn't help but I couldn't stand evil Laverna what's her deal. She reminds me of this girl Jessica i work with. I don't want to give away to much bu the animation is fantastic and the characters are all so beautiful and sparkle with Barbie magic. I couldn't help but go and buy an Elina doll after seeing the movie. Hope everyone loves as much as I did. Tootles..

The story is ok it's the little details that I love like the "rainbow in her eye" and the sparkles of the wings and the makeup. I also really loved the colorful theming of each fairy. I paid attention through the whole thing and laughed at Bibbles antics. I am rewatching all the barbie movies (all 45!) and this is one of the best ones so far. Weirdly I feel I remember it but I can't remember watching it as a kid when it came out.

My only caveat was barbies arms were FREAKISHLY long in some scenes and it was silly looking/weird. But other than that no complaints.

Anyways it would be enjoyable for kids and adults. My rating is closer to a 6.5/10 but gave it an optimistic 7 since you can't do halves.

I LOVED this film as a kid! I revisited it just a few days ago, and, in some ways, it surprisingly holds up. The characters are fine, the animation is fine, everything is fine. However, I just felt like it was missing something. I feel like it's the most perfect kids movie, But I'm probably not gonna rewatch it for... 30,40 years?

P.S. This is the second of many reviews I'm going to make.
