Watch Barbie: A Fairy Secret For Free

Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

Wow! Some of the reviews on this flick are freakin' HARSH-CITY! Here's a News Flash to some reviewers: THIS MOVIE WAS NOT MADE FOR YOU!!I've got two daughters, ages 6 and 9. They both enjoyed it, particularly my 6 year old who was jumping up off the couch because she was totally getting into the movie. The thing I noticed the most was how much they were smiling and giggling throughout the entire film. (Isn't that what these films are all about?I thought the voice acting was fine, and the computer animation was on par with all the other BARBIE movies we have in our collection.I asked them what their score would be for this, and they both said "It was AWESOME!" So, I give it TEN STARS for its intended audience.The bottom line is that NOTHING IS WRONG WITH THIS MOVIE CONSIDERING THE TARGET AUDIENCE, AND BOTH OF MY DAUGHTERS GREATLY ENJOYED THIS FILM!And that's what really matters the most.

"Barbie: A Fairy Secret" is the story of how Barbie discovers that fairies really do exist. When a fairy princess captures her boyfriend Ken, Barbie along with her costar, Raquelle, and two of Barbie's stylists, head out to rescue him from Gloss Angeles, a floating town filled with fairies. I really like the animation in this movie, especially how each of the characters are drawn. Barbie's eyes glisten like jewels and get me into the fairy mood. Each scene bursts with color, like their hangout Wally's. I also love how every piece of clothing has a modern twist. I wish I could have two fairies as my personal stylists. The movie also has great music that makes me want to dance. Barbie is already friends with her two fashion stylists at the beginning of the movie, but is uneasy around her rival Raquelle. Raquelle is jealous of Barbie, so what will happen when they get twisted up in this magical world together? When Ken is forced to marry fairy princess Graziella he realizes how much he loves Barbie but lots of trouble stands in their way. Don't worry, because Barbie will do anything to get Ken back. Girls ages two to ten will really enjoy this movie filled with friends, fashion and adventure. Will Raquelle and Barbie ever be friends? How will they get into the magical world? Will they rescue Ken? Find out when you watch "Barbie: a Fairy Secret." Credit: Makai Weber Colvin, Age 9, KIDS FIRST! Film Critic

Why did I watch this movie? Oh yes I was under the impression that it MIGHT be good. It was really bad! SPOILERS after this point: This movie is about Barbie, duh. Some, wait for it, FAIRY literally STEALS her boyfriend, Ken of course. And Barbie has to rescue him.Throughout this ENTIRE movie was BRAINWASHING PROPAGANDA for girls to be stereotypical girls. NOT ONE FEMALE IN THIS ENTIRE MOVIE WEARS PANTS! Wow these days women wear pants more often than skirts, and dresses. The closest one girl got to wearing pants was the "stuck up" girl naturally! And they were skin tight leggings UNDER A SKIRT! WOW! You may say "These are the girly girls." So jeans are not girly? These days women wear dresses/skirts ONLY for special occasions. When one is seen with one on they are asked why they are all dressed up.Since this movie takes place in the present (one fairy saying "too many apps") they must reflect the present style. The movie was so sexist! All women do is figure out what outfit to wear and steal each other's boyfriends? None of these women have REAL jobs they have all la la land jobs; actor, stylist, fitting room attendant. REALLY? Wow talk about telling women to stay barefoot and pregnant in the kitchen! NONE of these women do jobs that require actual intelligence! Just repeating lines, and the fairy stylists USE THEIR MAGIC to make outfits! They don't even have a bachelor in arts or something! Also the whole "forgiveness sets you free" thing hmm, well the stuck up girl did not really do anything wrong to be forgiven. It was a MISUNDERSTANDING! MORE BRAINWASHING to teach girls at an early age to "forgive" TRANSLATION: LET PEOPLE WALK ALL OVER YOU, BE A GOOD LITTLE SLAVE TO MEN, LET MEN CHEAT ON YOU, ETC." WOW! Should women "forgive" a man who assaulted them. NO of course not. THAT is THEIR responsibility not to pointlessly harm a woman! I am aware I did not put a question mark. That is because that is not even a QUESTION! The answer is CLEARLY NO, NO, NO, NO, NO!!!!!!!! Oh yes and the whole thing that one woman did in a fairy store. She left her WHOLE LIFE behind for her HUSBAND! And now can NEVER leave the fairy world! So she can't ever be a part of her life BEFORE this guy. No, it's all about him! HOW SEXIST!!!! What about a compromise? They live in fairy land for a while and a while in the real world! WOW! HORRIBLE "LESSONS" for little girls! "Give up your life for men and be their slave." NO DON'T DO THAT! Barbie shows her true colors here! And they are sexist! DO NOT SHOW THIS "MOVIE" TO YOUR LITTLE GIRL(S); THEY WILL BE SCARRED FOR LIFE!

Critical analysis of any Barbie movie is like attempting to extract blood from a turnip. There is nothing of merit to critically dissect. It's just pure, less than juvenile garbage. They are, to the letter, stilted, terribly scripted, amateurish CG animated, middling voice acting (though hardly the worst I've ever heard), with incredibly stupid, improbable stories and plots and manufactured dialog that would never come from a human's mouth. You feel certain you've dropped 2 or 3 IQ points after watching one of these monstrosities.With these exceptionally low standards for context, the "Fairy Secret" may be the bottom 2 or 3 of these exceptionally terrible cookie-cutter, quasi-formulaic junk piles geared for little girls who think they want to be Barbie and that we parents are in the unfortunate position of occasionally having to watch with our little ones. The dialog and "plot" (for a story that's mind-numbingly idiotic) are both so awful that one will find oneself groaning constantly throughout the time you've wasted watching it.Whereas some minor merit can occasionally be extracted out of some of the Barbie movies - as in maybe there's a slightly funny joke or at least the plot isn't entirely stupid, little can be said that is positive about this one. It's like the writer isn't even trying to create believable characters, dialog, or plot, even at the level of the fantastical. Perhaps the writer is so underpaid that they barely phone it in. Perhaps they are already angry that they have to have this trash on their resume. Maybe they will legally change their name after being associated with a movie like this. Whatever the case, it doesn't make for a good movie.Save your little girls the trouble and rent something vastly better that nearly all kids enjoy - like pretty much any Pixar movie.
