This is great movie for your children, a good addition to the series. I, myself, found it to be quite predictable, like all Barbie movies, but my children loved it. The movie teaches friendship, leadership, trust and self worth in an easy to follow storyline. I did like the movie over all. It was a nice story with lovable characters and some mildly scary creatures. It had some funny spots, too. Sometimes things aren't what they seem to be, and sometimes you just need to follow your heart, the typical Barbie story.
I have to say that I've been surprisingly happy with the Barbie videos (not a huge Barbie fan overall). I'm speaking of the Nutcracker, Princess and the Pauper, Rapunzel & Swan Lake. I'm not as impressed with these fantasy videos. The magic is a bit strange and there doesn't seem to be the same underlying strength that Barbie has in the previous films. This film also has characters that tend to be a bit more sassy than I've seen in the other movies and we can definately do without that.
The Barbie series of movies is harmless fun for the little ones - girls mainly. The computer graphics are crude but colorful and the characters are clearly and simply defined as either good or evil. Unlike some of the Disney movies, nobody dies... ever! I'm thankful to not have to try to approach this subject to my 4 year old every time she watches a movie! If you have a young daughter(s), give these movies a rental tryout - then I believe you'll be buying them on e-bay too!
My six year old little girl loves this movie. We had renewed it at the library a few times and I decided to just buy it. It was a great value and it came quickly.

I really like all the Barbie movies we own (which isn't all of them, but a good sampling of 6 I think), and I just do not like this one. I mean the story is fine, but the main character isn't "Barbie's" voice like the other movies. The friends she takes on her journey are kind of annoying, and the prince is annoying too. Not my favorite at all and when my daughter wants a Barbie movie I push this one to the bottom of the pile so I don't have to listen to it. I much prefer 12 Dancing Princesses for the pretty singing, Swan Lake for the pretty orchestral music, or Island Princess for the singing, and those all are great stories too.
I have seen a lot of Barbie movies lately because my girls watch them. This movie kind of breaks off from the Fairytopia Collection. The Fairytopia collection is good but I enjoy the Barbie movies with songs. Kelly Sheridan has an awesome voice and I perfer to be able to sing a long with the fantastic songs. The movie was good but I really hope they don't add another movie to the Fairytopia collection.
My daughter, 2, is very particular about what will hold her interest. So far Barbie and Tinkerbell dvd's are the only thing she asks for and will actually sit and watch and love. These Barbie dvd's always come with bonus features for when she's older like interactive games and such so its a game and dvd in one. I highly recommend this series, and this Mariposa is more active than some other Barbie ones.
Still in good quality haven’t tested the disc yet
