What happens

Barbie: Mariposa and Her Butterfly Fairy Friends, also known as Barbie: Mariposa, is a 2008 animated fantasy film directed by Conrad Helten and written by Elise Allen. The tagline of the film is "The most beautiful thing you can be is yourself". The film follows Mariposa (voiced by Chiara Zanni), a butterfly fairy on a Hero's Journey to save Queen Marabella, and her kingdom, from the evil fairy Henna and the evil flying creatures – Skeezites. The 12th installment in the Barbie film series, Barbie: Mariposa is a spin-off of the Barbie: Fairytopia trilogy. The film has a Spanish influence, with the titular character's name being Spanish for 'butterfly'. It is the first film in the series to not feature Kelly Sheridan's Barbie as the main role, she instead reprises her role as the character Elina of the Fairytopia trilogy. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
