This weekend we saw Barbie: A Fashion Fairytale
at a local theater as part of the KidToons series. Check their website for show times in your area as different cities/theaters may have different showing dates. They also have a Buy One, Get One Free ticket on their website. The showing is a predecessor to the DVD release of this movie on September 14, 2010.My daughter has recently discovered other Barbie movies. We have borrowed Barbie and the Three Musketeers
and Barbie in a Mermaid Tale
from the library and own Barbie as the Princess and the Pauper
. One thing that always confused me was that the main character who looked like Barbie was never called Barbie, yet the Barbie name was in the title.This movie features Barbie as an actress and in her trailer is a poster for Barbie in a Mermaid Tale and she mentions acting in Barbie and the Three Musketeers. Mystery Solved!We own the easy reader of A Fashion Fairytale so my daughter was quite excited to go see the movie. She was very intrigued by the references to the other movies especially Barbie and the Three Musketeers which is her favorite Barbie movie.
She loved the Flairies, not to be confused with fairies who have wings. The Flairies - Glimmer, Shimmer, and Shine - glitterize the fashions so she is now ready to add glitter to her clothes and have a fashion show. She has already asked about making clothes. Sorry, kid, wrong mom, I don't sew.Now, if only she would like playing with Barbies as much as I did. I would gladly do a doll fashion show & buy a few extra outfits. Heck, I might even spring for the glitterizer playset
