DVD Reviews of Barbie Mariposa and Her Butterfly Friends
DVD Review: Totally exceeded expectations
Summary: 4 Stars
Although it drag just a bit in spots, we do love the Barbie movies, always fresh stories about friendship and doing the right thing.DVD Review: Too scary and oddly animated
Summary: 1 Stars
This was the first time that my daughter and I had watched a Barbie movie (of any type) and we were disappointed. My daughter exclaimed it was too scary - the skeezites (sp) eat the butterfly faries and the characters are catty and pretentious. If one was 13 I would expect it would be ideal.
Also - something didnt ring quite right with the accents. And the characters spoke as you would expect them too - that is - they reformed to stereotype. This is something that i feel is wrong = especially as at 4 years old they are establishing opinions that have a long lasting effect. It seems to be narrated by someone who has english as a second language. (no offence to anyone) - but the dialogue is slimplistic and trite.
DVD Review: Better than your average Barbie movie
Summary: 4 Stars
The Barbie computer-animated movies are generally decent entertainment for kids, essentially benign given that they "anchor" merchandising tie-ins, but not especially great. This one is a cut above because its central message, about being comfortable with oneself despite being different from others, is delineated well and is reasonably accessible to adults. All right, it's about butterfly fairies. Even so...
Mariposa is a bookish dreamer and a loner who looks beyond the confines of her world. When the queen of the fairies is poisoned, Mariposa and her companions get in adventures as they seek an antidote. On the way, they try to avoid the Skeezites, creatures that strike a good balance between being somewhat scary (they eat butterfly fairies) and rather clumsy, to mild comedic effect. The best scene takes place in the Cave of Reflections, which reveals multiple facets of each character's personality.
At time of writing, my daughters are 6 and 5 years old. They are consistently engaged by this movie after multiple viewings, and I've sat through it more than once myself. That's a good indicator for any family entertainment.
DVD Review: Very good movie
Summary: 5 Stars

Description of Barbie Mariposa and Her Butterfly Friends
Join Barbie in an all-new world of Butterfly Fairies! Mariposa is a beautiful butterfly fairy who loves to read and dream about the world outside her home in the land of Flutterfield.Flutterfield is protected by the Queen's glimmering magical flower lights, but when the Queen is poisoned by the evil fairy Henna, the special lights begin to go out one by one. It's up to the brave Mariposa and her friends to journey beyond the safe borders of the city in search of a hidden antidote that will save the Queen. Join the butterfly fairy friends on an exciting adventure that will transform them forever!
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
