Since the Barbie movies were released in 2001 with Barbie in The Nutcracker, to Barbie as Rapunzel, to Barbie of Swan Lake (all priors with a spin on existing stories), Magic of Pegasus, Barbie Fairytopia as the first movie with Mermadia being the sequel, Mermaidia holds a unique storyline while still centering on the famous Fairy, Alina, a true brave heroine. One doesn't have to own or see Fairytopia to enjoy Mermadia, which makes Mermadia a sequel one can own and see on their own to appreciate. Mermadia opens with a very brief introduction of Alina, and ties in directly to the movie. You don't have to see Fairytopia to enjoy Mermaidia. However, if you did see Fairytopia, you might be more engulfed in the trials Alina goes through. My three and a half old daughter owns the entire Barbie DVD collection. I have admired the strong heroine projected through the films, and have watched them with her, and discussed the epitomy of friendship. Especially in their latest, Mermaidia. The lead character, in Mermaidia, is a thinker, decisive, devoted to a friend and doing what's right. I appreciate, as the Barbie movies have moved along since 2001, that a vast array of hair color, skin color, and eye color, and further are incorporated. Any parent concerned with such things would appreciate Mermadia, and it's prior Fairytopia, and unrelated, The Magic of Pegasus, and the brunette heroine in Princess and the Pauper. Mermaidia, puts power and deep understanding into a female lead character. She decides it's right, to assist a friend who called upon her. She goes against the odds to assist that friend. The movie is encompassing of morals, not being prejudice, and following one's calling and heart. The movie also deals with jealously issues, and other emotions that young girls need to talk about. It is educational on an emotional level, in the sense that an adult should be present (even my husband has seen all the Barbie movies), on a growth level, that the Elmo of ABCs and others of science don't address. And, it's a heroine, a female hero, who overcomes obstacles. Mermadia is by far, the best in graphics and socializing that the Barbie movies have contributed to. I hope they do a full screen... in theaters, eventually.Read full review
My entire family loves this entire series of Fairytopia DVDs. The story is unique enough in a world saturated with children's stories and teaches my children great morals such as friendship, loyalty, and sacrifice for others. Both my children, daughter (5) and son (3) enjoy watching this and the other movies frequently as well as acting out the stories in plays, ballets and playing with the fairytopia 4-inch dolls that my daughter bought with her own money. She is also earning the money to purchase all 3 of the Fairytopia movies from me (bought on ebay) and loves them enough to work really hard as they aren't inexpensive for a 5-year-old to earn (even at the almost half-off price I got them at on ebay.)
