Official Description
"Barbie takes flight in her first original princess fairy tale movie, Barbie and the Magic of Pegasus. Princess Annika discovers adventure when she is befriended by Brietta - a magnificent winged horse - that flies her to the beautiful Cloud Kingdom. Annika has only three days to break the spell of Wenlock, an evil wizard who has turned her family to stone.
On her quest to defeat Wenlock, Annika meets new friends and together they travel to forbidden forests, skate through icy caverns and fly above the clouds as they attempt to build a magical wand of light."
Story
In a magical northern kingdom, the Queen wants to surprise her daughter, Princess Annika, played by Barbie, with a birthday gift. When she opens the door to Annika's room, she discovers that Annika is missing, having gone to an ice rink without asking for permission. Out skating, Annika meets a small polar bear whom she names Shiver. When Annika returns to the palace, her parents are so worried and overprotective they forbid her from skating ever again.
That night, Annika sneaks out of the palace to join a festival. A powerful wizard named Wenlock appears and asks the princess to marry him. When Annika refuses, Wenlock furiously tells the king and queen the fate of their "other daughter," which surprises Annika. Wenlock magically turns everyone into stone, but Annika is saved by Brietta, a flying horse, but Wenlock tells her that she has three days to marry him; otherwise, the spell will become permanent.
Brietta, played by Summer, takes Annika to a castle in the clouds called the Cloud Kingdom. There, Annika discovers that "the other daughter" of the king and queen is Brietta, who was transformed into a Pegasus by Wenlock when she refused to marry him (explaining why Annika's parents are so overprotective). Annika decides to build the "Wand of Light" to break Wenlock's spell. To accomplish this, they must have a measure of courage, a ring of love, and a gem of ice lit by hope's eternal flame. The Cloud Queen gives Brietta a crystal bell to ring if she needs help.
The group travels to the Forbidden Forest, where they meet a young man named Aidan, played by Ken, who helps them after they get caught in a net. When Shiver and Annika fall into a giant's stew pot, Annika tricks him into chaining himself to a post and uses her hair ribbon to climb out. The ribbon is the same size as her, and as a measure of courage, it turns into a staff for the Wand of Light.
After trading Annika's skates for a fake map, the group finds themselves in a large cavern filled with gems, where a sign tells them to take only what they need. Although they get 2 gems, Shiver causes a cave-in thanks to her amazement of the gems' sparkles, which they narrowly manage to escape. As Aidan starts to forge the Wand, he reveals that he ran away from his parents and lost all of his money gambling. He wishes to return to them and ask for forgiveness.
Brietta offers her tiara to make the ring of love. With all three objects, the "Wand of Light" is assembled, and Brietta transforms back into her human form.
Annika and Brietta return to the Cloud Kingdom on two pegasi summoned by the Cloud Queen's bell, but Wenlock pursues them, hurting Brietta. Angrily Annika asks the wand to destroy Wenlock. But it does not work. Annika gives up. Finally, she agrees to marry Wenlock if he changes her parents and the people back to normal persons. Wenlock refuses her, for she is hateful, just like his other wives. He sneers at her, taking the wand from Annika's hand. He causes a snowslide, trapping Annika.
Immediately Aidan comes and helps to dig Annika out. Aidan and Brietta bring an unconscious Annika to the Cloud Kingdom. After Annika wakes up, the trio goes to Wenlock's place. Blush decides not to give the clouds a dusk color to give Annika more time after some persuasion by Rose. While Brietta guards the pegasus, Annika, Aidan, and Shiver slide to the green castle. Aidan fights against Griffin as Annika searches for the wand. When she finds the wand, suddenly the gem falls. Fortunately, Aidan gives Annika his own.
Realizing how to work the Wand, Annika asks it to defeat Wenlock, for the love of her family and friends. Wenlock turns to be an ordinary person, and the spell on Annika's parents is broken. Annika shows them Brietta, and the entire family celebrates together, while Aidan's father forgives him. Aidan makes Annika meet his father too. The end scene shows Aidan and Annika skating in the cloud palace. Both Aidan and Annika are wearing crowns, signifying that they have gotten married. Brietta remarks that they look happy and gifts the Cloud Queen with the Wand, who replies that it will be the first star at night.

Videos
Bloopers
- The first scene shows Ollie with an English accent, negotiating with the director to have a more proper line in his script besides "Ollie like lunch". The director disagrees and disappoints Ollie.
- Next is the scene where Shiver is sliding down the slide. She first lands with many jewels or what she calls "sparkle sparkles". The director demands; "Who gave Shiver the gems?" Next, Shiver goes down the slide and crashes into the camera. The director asks "Carleen, are you alright?" Carleen replies "Yeah, I'm okay. Just get the bear off the camera." Shiver gives a weird look.
- After is Annika and Aidan exchanging email addresses. They don't hear the director saying action, which causes Aidan to suddenly be tackled by the Griffin. "Are you alright?" Annika asks as she helps him up. The griffin foolishly walks off with a smile.
- Then, during the end of the movie skating scene with Annika and Aidan, Ollie the giant suddenly starts to skate, not knowing they are still shooting. Ollie leaves for lunch.
- Next, is the part when Aidan begs Annika to waken. Annika accidentally starts laughing. The scene is repeated, with Annika then bursting with laughter. It is repeated again but with Annika laughing because of the clown nose Aidan put on to purposely make her laugh. She then hits him with a pillow.
Trivia
- On Trademarkia, the film was originally named Barbie 3D The Treasures of Pegasus.
- As seen in the storybook, Annika was originally named Brianna, Brietta was originally named Peg, and Cloud Kingdom was originally named Cloud City.

Goofs
- When Annika and Shiver are trapped at Ollie's pan, we can see Annika's purple ribbon was missing for a few times.
- When Ollie is chopping up an onion to throw into the pan, a clip is reused of a turnip falling into the pan, instead of a chopped up onion.
- Annika's dress from Queen Rayla is long. However, it suddenly becomes 3/4 length when she and Aidan are skating to Wenlock's place, and it become long again when she arrived at Wenlock's place.
