Barbie: A Fairy Secret is a comedy fantasy animated movie and part of the Barbie film series.[1] It was released on March 15, 2011, and was also released in cinemas created by Cinedigm.[2][3]
Plot
Barbie is at the premiere of her latest movie when her rival and co-star, Raquelle, steps on her dress, ripping it. Her stylists, Carrie and Taylor, use magic to mend it. Crystal, a photographer, greets Carrie and Taylor and, taking one last picture of Ken, leaves to go back to Gloss Angeles. Crystal shows Princess Graciella the pictures she took at the premiere. She gives the Princess a love potion, which, due to the effects, turns her eyes from blue to purple. Crystal then shows the Princess the picture of Ken she took, and Graciella falls in love with him on the spot.
The next day at Wally’s restaurant, Barbie confronts Raquelle about the dress-stepping incident. Princess Graciella, Crystal, and two assistant fairies show up and kidnap Ken. Carrie and Taylor sprout their wings and attempt to stop the Princess from taking Ken, but the portal to Gloss Angeles closes before they can enter it. The stylists attempt to dissuade Raquelle and Barbie of the fact that they just saw fairies, but finally admit their existence. Meanwhile in Gloss Angeles, Ken and the Princess arrive in the royal palace, where they meet Zane, Graciella’s boyfriend. Zane is outraged at Graciella's new love interest and challenges Ken to three duels.
Barbie, Raquelle and the fairies go to a clothing store, where they enter the Flyway (a fairy method of transport), which leads them to the top of the Eiffel Tower in Paris. The fairies reveal that Lilianna Roxelle, a fashion critic, is the oldest and wisest fairy living on Earth, meaning that though she may look in her early 30's, she may be 130-years-old. After they arrive at Lilianna’s house, she informs them that Princess Graciella is under a love potion spell. She gives Barbie a potion that will turn the Princess back to normal if she puts it above that it will rain upon her.
Barbie, Raquelle, Taylor and Carrie aboard magical pegasi to Gloss Angeles, where they cross the Palace guard's swirlnadoes (tornadoes). They disguise as cooks to try to reveal princess Graciella about Crystal's love potion; however, Crystal reveals Taylor and Carrie by recognizing Taylor's shoes, and the princess locks the four in furyspheres. Barbie and Raquelle talk and finally figure out their misunderstanding. They apologize to each other and become friends. Their reconciliation and new friendship transforms the cages in real wings, and they now realize that forgiveness lets them fly. The two then go to stop the wedding between Graciella and Ken, holding off the attendants and the princess. Finally, Barbie puts the antidote on Graciella, restoring the princess back to her normal self. Graciella realizes that it was Crystal who gave her the love potion and apologizes for the misunderstanding. At the urging of Barbie and Raquelle, she lifts Taylor's and Carrie's ban, and the three fairies forgive each other. Graciella then punishes Crystal by having her clean up after the ceremony, and goes to marry Zane.
After the wedding, Graciella tells Barbie and Raquelle that their wings will disappear when they and Ken go back to the human world, and then reappear when they return to Gloss Angeles. Raquelle, however, does not promise Graciella that she will keep Gloss Angeles and the fairies' existence a secret. The fairies blow a magic sleeping dust on them. The next morning, Barbie wakes up with no recollection of Gloss Angeles or the fairies; she begins thinking it was a dream. Nonetheless, she and Raquelle are now friends, and their minds are now clean slates. Carrie and Taylor tell the two (while skillfully avoiding any mention of the past events) that they reconnected with an old friend and are going back to their hometown of Gloss Angeles. Everyone says good-bye and things starts anew.
Characters
- Barbie - The main protagonist. Barbie is a 16-year-old fashion-forward movie star who rescues Ken and discovers the fairy secret.
- Ken - Barbie's 17-year-old boyfriend. He gets kidnapped by Princess Graciella, but is later released.
- Taylor - A shoe fairy and one of Barbie's stylists. The more fashionable her shoes, the stronger her magic.
- Carrie - A purse fairy and one of Barbie's stylists. She has a magic purse and a belt that matches it.
- Princess Graciella - The princess of Gloss Angeles and a strong passion fairy. She kidnaps Ken and tries to marry him, under the influence of a love potion given to her by Crystal. However, after being rescued by Barbie, she finally understands the truth.
- Raquelle - Barbie's 16-year-old co-star and eventual friend, she helps Barbie rescue Ken. She is usually determined to get everything that Barbie has. Raquelle admits, later in the movie, that she was cruel to Barbie because the former didn't give her the least bit of attention when they were in tenth grade.
- Lilliana Roxelle - A fashion editor and a wise fairy. She helps Barbie, Raquelle and the fairies by giving them an antidote to a love potion and letting them use her personal portal to Gloss Angeles.
- Crystal - A 16-year-old fairy with a crush on Zane and Princess Graciella's assistant. She gives Graciella the love potion that makes her fall in love with Ken. She is later punished and made to clean up after the ceremony.
