Western Animation: Barbie: A Fairy Secret

Can you keep a secret?

Barbie's latest movie (as of 2011), and the second movie in a second subseries (This one has to do with Fairies, not Flairies)

It's the premiere of Barbie's latest movie, and she's attending with boyfriend Ken. While there, Ken's picture is taken by a scheming fairy named Crystal, who wants nothing more than to steal away Fairy Princess Graciela's boyfriend Zane. To this end, she uses a love potion to make Graciela smitten with Ken.

The plan works, and Ken is suddenly carted away in broad daylight. Fortunately for Barbie, however, her two stylist friends (for when she's away from Teresa and Grace) are also fairies, who take her and Raquelle to the fairy city of Gloss Angeles to rescue Ken before he winds up trapped in the fairy world.

Needs a Better Description

This movie contains examples of:

Art Evolution: Everybody from Fashion Fairytale got new, much prettier and HD-er models.
A Worldwide Punomenon: Carrie when she takes things from her purse.
Bag of Holding: Carrie’s (hand) bag carries everything from a baseball bat to false teeth to chef uniforms.
British Accents: Taylor.
Butt Monkey: Ken continues the tradition...somewhat.
Camp Straight: Zane.
Continuity Nod: Remember Lilliana Roxelle from A Fashion Fairytale? She's a fashion fairy.
Darker and Edgier: This time around, a kidnapping forms the basis of the plot. Also: Nary a Talking Animal in sight.
Deadpan Snarker: Raqelle.
Defrosting Ice Queen: Raquelle.
Expy: Physically, at least. Crystal looks a lot like Selena Gomez.
The Fair Folk: Played with nicely.
Fangirl: Evil fangirl, Crystal for Zane.
Five-Man Band:
- The Hero: Barbie.
- The Lancer: Raquelle.
- The Chick: Carrie and Taylor.
- Distressed Dude: Ken.
Floating Continent: Gloss Angeles
Happily Married: Rina and Granelin, owners of Wings & Things. Eventually Graciela and Zane.
My Name Is Not Durwood: Ken and Graciela.
Our Fairies Are Different
Pride: Raquelle’s biggest issue.
Punny Name: Gloss Angeles. They'd be laughing too if they hadn't seen Ken get kidnapped.
Purple Eyes: The love potion adds red, the color of love, to the eyes and it turns Graciela' eyes purple.
The Power of Friendship Gives You Wings: Barbie and Raquelle.
Shout Out: To The Matrix, during the duel.
- To Barbie Fairytopia Magic Of The Rainbow, Barbie's wings in both movies are almost identical.
Tsundere: Raquelle. Crystal also has shades of it.
