Fairytale Era

The Fairytale Era is the unofficial name given to the generation of Barbie Movies that are centered around Fairytale type stories involving variables such as mermaids and magic, hence the name. The generation started in 2001 with Barbie in the Nutcracker, but ended in 2009 with the last movie being Barbie Presents Thumbelina. This generation ended in favor of Mattel's all new strategy of moving away from fairytale based movies. In recent years, the covers of these movies were updated to fit the new drawing style of Barbie Movie covers.
