Believing in oneself can be difficult, even with the support of friends. The formerly wingless fairy Elina has saved Fairytopia more than once, proving herself against Fungus Maximus and turning the evil Laverna into a frog in Barbie Fairytopia and Barbie Fairytopia--Mermaidia, but she still questions her own abilities when Guardian Azura selects her to become her apprentice and learn the all-important flight of spring--a ritual which ensures another year of vitality in Fairytopia. The taunts and snobby attitudes of her fellow apprentices serve to further undercut Elina's self-esteem, but she vows to do her best to master the flight of spring and soon proves worthy of her appointment. When the trickery of Laverna threatens to stop the flight of spring and destroy Fairytopia forever, it falls to the new apprentices to save Fairytopia. Of course, Elina will play a pivotal role in the group's eventual success or failure. Prepubescent attitudes and shallowness reign among most of the apprentices, but most eventually see the error of their ways and the clear message is the importance of believing in oneself. (Ages 3 to 9) --Tami Horiuchi

Another Great Barbie Movie
My 4 year old has loved the Barbie Movies since she was 2 and this one, the third installment in the Fairytopia series did not dissapoint. I personally prefer the ones based on fairytales (Princess and the Pauper, Nutcracker, and Twevle Dancing Princesses) but I thought that this was the best movie of the Fairytopia series. The anamation is awesome. We saw this movie on Nickelodeon and recorded on our DVR. We have watched it at least once everyday since, great movie!

Incredible!
I saw this movie on Nickelodeon and I must say, this was Barbie's best movie yet. The colors were awesome in the Rainbow Dome scene, and once again, Elina helped save Fairytopia from Laverna. I especially liked the part where Elina's wings changed again. Now she'll be reminded of how together the Apprentices were strong against Laverna.

Needs more magic
What's a Barbie to do? On one side there are the stuff-struttin' Bratz, on the other there's Cinderella, poppin' out product like she's a slave for, gee, some giant entertainment empire. Lost in the middle is Barbie, who has lately been trying to jump-start her career with these computer-animated "Fairytopia" films.

This one's not bad. More than just sugar-sweet marketing muck, it has bright, colorful visuals and a real story filled with good messages. As for the animation, it's much better than most direct-to-video releases. On the downside, the story is dense and the pace is mighty slow: I fell asleep watching it! But if your little girl already likes this series she'll probably go for it.
