Mariposa is a wondreful addition to the Barbie movie series,
We see a whole different world from what we have seen in Fairytopia-a world that is much more dangerous.
Mariposa is a fairy that doesn't feel like she fits in with the other butterfly faeries.
She is treated like a servant, rather than an equal among the other faeries, & this does nothing to improve her opinion of herself.
Yet, she is the one who takes charge of the quest to fund a cure for the dying queen, & in the end, SHOWS herself worthy of respect,
I couldn't give this movie a full 5 stars though, for 2 reasons.
One is maybe my own personal preferences, but I have gotten so used to the voice of Kelly Sheridan as the lead character, that it was just hard for myself to accept anyone else.
The other was-I felt the need to use foreign accents for the queen & her son was unnecessary. The storyline would have been just as good without them.
Nevertheless: It IS a very enjoyable movie about overcoming self doubt, & IS well worth seeing!
