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

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 movie believe it or not was actually pretty good for a kids Barbie movie. My little sisters got it for Christmas and the movie was pretty good. It's not regularly I would watch Barbie movies but i don't mind watching this one occasionally. Me personally am not very in to Barbie but when i have to watch my little sisters i play with them. I'm not normally one for writing comments on movies but i guessed because i just watched it it would be okay to comment on it. Fairytopia is a movie that i guess i would take on a car trip considering we have normally one or two days to watch movies. I'm not one for watching little kids movies but i guess if you're stuck in the car for two days with two little toddlers it's okay to watch Barbie movies or little kid movies. When you think about it maybe you should appreciate that not all movies are filled with violence and swearing. Well i guess they still make good movies now a days, not that there are that many. It's not even safe for young children to be flicking through the channels at night. Well i guess that's when it's good to have appropriate movies to watch.

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.

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
