Elina knows that it's difficult feeling like you don't belong, so when Bibble decides not to visit a friend for fear of not fitting in, Elina relates the story of a butterfly fairy named Mariposa who loves to read and dream about the stars and the worlds beyond her land, but never quite feels like she fits in with her fellow fairies. Flutterfield was once a land of frightened fairies forced to hide in darkness from the monster-like Skeezites who devour butterfly fairies, but is now ruled by kind Queen Marabella who protects her land with glowing flowers. When a power-hungry fairy named Henna poisons the Queen in hopes of stealing the throne, it falls to Mariposa to venture outside Flutterfield to find the antidote to the poison and save the Queen. With some unlikely help from her attitude-laden employers Rayna and Rayla as well as her friend Willa and a little bunny fairy named Zinzie, Mariposa must bravely confront her own self-doubt as well as the Skeezites and other dangers in order to save Flutterfield and its Queen. Along the way, Mariposa learns that the best thing a fairy can be is oneself. This fourth Barbie Fairytopia adventure has all the visual appeal and wonder of the previous Fairytopia DVDs with a nice message about liking oneself. (Ages 3 to 9) --Tami Horiuchi

 Best of the Fairytopia series, but not in the same class as the Barbie Princess movies! October 15, 2008
Angela O'Quinn (KY)
As the mother of a 3 year old, I own all of the Barbie movies. My daughter and I enjoy watching them together, especially the musicals and the Princess series. Of all the Barbie series, the Fairytopia line has been our least favorite. None of them kept my daughter's attention for more than 10-15 minutes, except for Mariposa. It is by far the best movie from the fairytopia line, but does not hold a candle to the other Barbie movies. It has a good lesson for all girls, especially those that do not fit into the norm. It is definately worth watching...once or twice, but not over and over again!
 Clearly the worst of the Barbie Movie franchise September 20, 2008
D. LeGate (San Ramon, CA United States)

Yes, my daughter loves it, but I have to say this is the worst of the movies that they've put out.
What's the story line? Who are these people? Why are Mariposa and her friend indentured servants to the two bratty girls? I'm not expecting Pixar-level story telling here, but come on... this thing is a train wreck.
And yes, being a parent fan of the franchise (meaning, no, I wouldn't watch these normally, but my daughter loves them), I miss Kelly Sheridan's voice in the lead role.
That said, hardly any child is going to notice or care about such adult "gripes", but we DO end up watching these too, so it would be nice if we got to be entertained at least to the level we've come to expect, with movies like Magic of Pegasus, or Princess and the Pauper.
Your kids (if they are age appropriate to the film) will likely love it, but you may be bored to tears, or annoyed to no end as they watch it over, and over, and over...
Another good continuation of this series August 3, 2008
Turtle502 (Pitman, NJ USA)

My 7-year old daughter really enjoys this movie, and had watched it at least 5 times in the first 2 weeks. The first time she watched it, I watched it with her, and at no time was I completely bored with the story. The animation in this series continues to improve with each new release. The voice-acting is good, and the story is enjoyable, with characters that keep the viewer interested.
In this release, Elina relates a story to Bibble -- so it's not actually a "real-time" story about Elina, but rather a story about a new fairy. The perspective changes from the story Elina is relating to scenes of Elina talking to Bibble. This actually helps break the monotony.
If you have a young daughter who enjoys the other animated Barbie series, you will probably want to add this to your collection.
Terrible video for kids July 31, 2008
Mom in Indiana
2 out of 4 found this review helpful
I couldn't believe what I was allowing my 3yo to watch. Thank goodness I watch the movies with her to make sure they are okay. Well this one was not. Very poor representation for the female gender - has valley-girl -speaking fairies whose main purpose is to be google-eyed over the prince. I did not care for the "crying babies" that awaken the sea creature either. I thought it was a poor story and definitely not one that is for my daughter. Too bad I purchased it instead of borrowing from the library. It went into the garbage because I would feel too guilty if someone else picked it up for their kids.
Incorrect Zone - unable to use July 19, 2008
Cl Mairs (Melbourne, Australia)
0 out of 3 found this review helpful
I recently purchased this product but am unable to play it because it is the incorrect zone for my DVD player. There was nothing to indicate the restricted zoning on the page I made my purchase from and am exceedingly disappointed I wasted my time and money. I would have thought Amazon were more customer savvy than to sell items to someone living in Australia who is no able to use them. I only gave the one star rating because it was a mandatory field that could not be left blank. The children are very disappointed, thanks for wasting my time
