Barbie: A Fairy Secret (2011)
Barbie lets you in on a secret...
Barbie realises that fairies secretly surround everybody. She, along with the help of her friends, Taylor and Carrie, sets out to rescue Ken. He is taken to the secret fairy city, Gloss Angeles.
In Barbie: A Fairy Secret, consciousness is carried by monsters and creatures — a plane of “fairy realm”. The story fights on E8/E9 of the E0–E14 reality ladder, compressing friendship, identity, otherness, magic, forgiveness.
