8
9A DirectToVideo Franchise/{{Barbie}} movie of 2011, and the second movie in a second subseries (This one has to do with Fairies, not [[WesternAnimation/BarbieAFashionFairytale Flairies]]).
10
11Some time after the events of ''A Fashion Fairytale'', 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.
12
13The 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 [[WesternAnimation/BarbieAFashionFairytale 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.

15----
16!!This movie contains examples of:
17* AccidentalMisnaming: Graciela just cannot remember Ken's name despite its shortness, and uses hundreds of other first names instead. [[RuleOfFunny Especially funny considering she wants to marry him.]]
18* ArtEvolution: Everybody from Fashion Fairytale has new, much prettier and HD-er models.
19* BagOfHolding: Carrie’s (hand) bag carries everything from a baseball bat to false teeth to ''chef uniforms''.
20* BrainwashedAndCrazy: Graciela wants to marry Ken after she succumbs to Crystal's love potion, and won't stop no matter what.
21* BroughtDownToNormal: Graciela tells Barbie and Raquelle their wings will vanish when they go back to their home world, but will magically reappear when they come to Gloss Angeles again.
22%%* BulletTime: Ken does this to dodge magic bursts.
23* ButtMonkey: Ken gets kidnapped, his protests go ignored, he ends up on the receiving end of a ''lot'' of slapstick, and Graciela seems incapable of getting his name right.
24* ButNowIMustGo: Carrie and Taylor meet up with Barbie, Ken and Raquelle at the end of the movie, saying they reconnected with an old friend and are going back to their hometown. They’re referring to Graciela and Gloss Angeles, but due to the trio’s LaserGuidedAmnesia and the fairy secret is kept a secret once more, they don’t mention either by name before departing.
25%%* CampStraight: Ken and Zane.
26* CannotKeepASecret: Raquelle proves to not be a good secret keeper, as shown before she, Barbie and Ken leave that she cannot keep the fairy secret. This prompts Graciela to send them home with their memories of their adventure erased and they think it was a dream.
27* ContinuityNod: Remember Lilliana Roxelle from ''A Fashion Fairytale''? [[spoiler:She's a fashion fairy.]]
28* CoughSnarkCough: Raquelle calls Barbie a name dropper this way.
29* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: Ken. He's outfitted in too-tight armor and is given small, pink clip-on wings...and dodges Zane's magic in bullet time.
30* DarkerAndEdgier: This time around, a kidnapping forms the basis of the plot. Also: Nary a TalkingAnimal in sight.
31%%* DeadpanSnarker: Raquelle.
32%%* DefrostingIceQueen: Raquelle.
33* DistressedDude: Ken gets kidnapped by Graciella and needs to be rescued.
34* EverybodyLaughsEnding: Barbie, Ken and Raquelle share a laugh as the film ends and they miss Carrie and Taylor flying back to Gloss Angeles.
35* ExtremelyShortTimespan: The movie takes place over the course of three days, with a lot of the second day happening throughout the main story.
36* EyeColorChange: The love potion causes Graciela's eyes to turn violet (they were originally blue), because the potion is red, the color of love.
37* TheFaceless: How Graciela is introduced. She is fully shown for the first time just before she kidnaps Ken.
38* TheFairFolk: Played with. Graciela was brainwashed into kidnapping Ken, and Crystal brainwashed her because she wanted Zane to love her.
39* FairytaleWeddingDress: Graciela wears one for the attempted marriage to Ken, and [[spoiler:the real marriage to Zane.]]
40%%* FanGirl: ''Evil'' fangirl, Crystal for Zane.
41%%* FloatingContinent: Gloss Angeles.
42* HappilyMarried: Rina and Granelin, owners of Wings & Things. Eventually Graciela and Zane.
43* IdiosyncraticWipes: Several transitions throughout the movie consist of a fairy silhouette on a rainbow backdrop, which irises in to the next scene.
44%%* IAmVeryBritish: Taylor.
45* IKnowYoureInThereSomewhereFight: Barbie gives one to Graciela, reminding her she's under a love potion and is forced to marry Ken from it.
46* ItaliansTalkWithHands: Zane emphasises everything he says with hand gestures.
47* LaserGuidedAmnesia: Graciela sends Barbie, Raquelle and Ken back home with no memories of the entire adventure, making them think it was all a dream so the fairy secret can be kept a secret once more.
48* LohengrinAndMendelssohn: The former plays during both weddings, with a pipe organ rendition in Ken and Graciela's and a brass ensemble for when Graciela marries Zane.
49* LovePotion: Graciela is tricked into drinking one, which makes her fall for Ken.
50* MadeOfIndestructium: [=FurySpheres=] are cages made out of pure anger and are impervious to any physical force.
51* MindControlEyes: The love potion adds red to the eyes of the victim drinking it; it turned Graciella's blue eyes violet.
52* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: Physically, at least. Crystal looks a lot like Selena Gomez.
53* OrWasItADream: Because Raquelle is too excited to keep the fairy secret a secret, Graciela tells Barbie, Raquelle and Ken that when she sends them home, they will wake up thinking it was all a dream. They awaken with just that, but Barbie and Raquelle are still friends. The final scene confirms this is indeed real as Carrie and Taylor sprout their wings out of their sight and fly home.
54* OurFairiesAreDifferent: They're human-sized with sparkly wings and live in another realm. Humans can enter the realm and fly with the help of specially-crafted wings, but if they choose to marry a fairy, they must stay in the fairy realm forever.
55* PaperThinDisguise: Carrie's initial plan to get past the guards is a pair of sunglasses.
56* {{Pegasus}}: Well, pega''ponies'', to be exact, and they even have fairy wings.
57%%* PluckyComicRelief: Taylor and Carrie.
58* ThePowerOfFriendship: When Barbie and Raquelle make up and form a friendship, their [=FurySphere=] dissolves and they gain actual fairy wings, because forgiveness lets someone fly.
59%%* {{Pride}}: Raquelle’s biggest issue.
60* PrincessesPreferPink: Graciela does not only wear pink and have wings of that color, she also has pink hair.
61* PrincessesRule: Graciela is called the fairy princess, but Carrie and Taylor once bring out she was always busy with royal duties; thus she is queen in any other aspect. [[GodSaveUsFromTheQueen Including her mean and obsessive behavior]] when under the influence of the LovePotion.
62* PunnyName: Gloss Angeles. [[LampshadeHanging They'd be laughing too if they hadn't seen Ken get kidnapped]].
63* RambunctiousItalian: Zane cannot speak without raising his voice, gets triggered easily, and tries to physically harm Ken after thinking he's a cowardly human who stole Graciela from him.
64* ReflectiveEyes: When Crystal shows Graciela the photo of Ken after she falls under the love potion, the picture reflects into her eyes as she falls for him.
65* ResetButton: Used on Barbie, Ken and Raquelle at the end of the movie, when they lose all their memories of the fairy secret and Gloss Angeles and think it was a dream.
66* SecretIdentity: The whole purpose of the fairy secret. The fairies from Gloss Angeles had to keep their identities hidden on Earth by hiding their wings.
67* SecretKeeper: Played straight and eventually subverted with Barbie, Raquelle and Ken. Raquelle obviously doesn't want to keep the fairies a secret, thus prompting Graciela to hit the ResetButton and erase their memories.
68* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: In the final scene after the ResetButton was hit on Barbie, Ken and Raquelle, when Raquelle notes she doesn't even know Carrie and Taylor as they are planning to leave, this worries them, and they make a hasty retreat.
69* ShoutOut: To ''Film/TheMatrix'' during the duel. Ken dodges Zane's magic in bullet time.
70** To ''Barbie Fairytopia: Magic Of The Rainbow''; Barbie's wings in both movies are almost identical.
71* StatusQuoIsGod: The movie ends with Barbie and Raquelle friends, but their memories of the adventure in Gloss Angeles were wiped so they think it was all a dream, thus the fairy secret is secret once more.
72* TechnicolorEyes: The love potion adds red, the color of love, to the eyes and it [[EyeColorChange turns Graciela's blue eyes purple.]]
73%%* {{Tsundere}}: Raquelle. Crystal also has shades of it.
74* TransformationSequence: Barbie and Raquelle get one when their forgiveness causes their fury sphere to make their fake wings real.
75* {{Yandere}}: Graciela and Crystal are both this, to different degrees. Graciela straight-up kidnaps Ken and refuses to let him leave despite his protests, while Crystal prefers to manipulate and sabotage her rival while cozying up to Zane. Additionally, Graciela is acting under the influence of a love potion; all of Crystal's actions are done of her own free will.
76* YouCantGoHomeAgain: In Gloss Angeles, if a mortal marries a fairy, they must stay in Gloss Angeles forever.
