Barbie Fairytopia: Mermaidia

This video is the second in a series called "Barbie Fairytopia." My daughter (turning 5) has loved the movies for a year now. I love them because they depict Barbie as a strong, independent girl who solves each crisis she meets independently, without the help of a prince or any other "handsome young man." She makes friends with the boys she meets, and has other wonderful friends in the stories, but she pretty much "saves the day" by herself. A great lesson for young girls everywhere! it's also a beautifully made movie, filled with extremely colorful scenes and characters.

Totally exceeded expectations, love the Barbie series, much more than I thought I would, very nice, always about standing up for what is right and being a friend.

My daughter loves all of the Barbie movies and this one is included on that list so that makes me completely satisfied with the product.

She loves it so much she wants to watch it over and over again. She will be 3 in a month. She wants to have a bed with Mermaidia on it and it's not even a product I can buy. I was introduced to these Barbie movies after getting The Diamond Castle on a free radio giveaway. My daughter loved it, so when I saw this for $2 used I got with the Magic of Pegasus thinking she might like it too. Every night my daughter wants to watch Mermaidia. I personally can watch it with her over and over without getting tired of it. For a few bucks, you certainly get your money's worth. I just ordered the original Fairytopia for her birthday, but I think she'll still like this movie better.

This movie is really good. I like the story, but some of the characters are animated wierd and cheesy. Plus, while I'm a HUGE fan of Barbie and anything pink, I'm not a big fan of fairytopia. 'Magic of the Rainbow' is my least favorite. This one is probably my second favorite, the original Fairytopia being the best. Some of the shots are really good, like the one where Elina and Nori fly and swim together then Nori shoots from the waterfall and they zoom downward together. That was a cool shot. And where they rescue Nalu by jumping from the water and slicing the ropes off, that part's pretty cool. These, along with a few others, make it better. And Barbie crys, and it's pretty good, but it's not acted enough. She just stands there (er, swims) with hands at her side, turns her head and sobs. If she'd put her hands ot her face, sobbed a little harder, moved a little more, curled up a little, sniffed, or anything, it would have been better. So it's a good movie, but I'm going to wait until the price goes down a little. I wouldn't mind it if there wasn't a $3.00 shipping fee. $8.00-$9.00 is too much. But, it's a movie 6-9 year olds will probably love. Any younger, they might be scared or not get it. I watched it babysitting 5 girls that ranged in age from 3-7. The two younger ones got bored, then scared. The three older ones loved it. I liked it. Enjoy! : )
