Barbie Mariposa (2008)
Soar to New Heights of Adventure!
Elina, heroine of the Fairytopia films tells her friend Bibble the story of Flutterfield, a faraway kingdom populated by fairies with butterfly wings. Henna, the evil butterfly fairy has poisoned the queen of Flutterfield in an attempt to take over the kingdom.
In Barbie Mariposa, consciousness is carried by monsters and creatures — a plane of “butterfly‑fairy island”. The story fights on E8/E9 of the E0–E14 reality ladder, compressing identity, belonging, courage, magic, quest.
