Barbie: Mermaidia or Barbie Fairytopia: Mermaidia is a 2006
direct-to-video computer-animated film directed by Walter P.
Martishius and William Lau, and produced by Mainframe Entertainment.
It is the 7th entry in the Barbie film series, a direct sequel to
Barbie: Fairytopia and the 2nd film in the Barbie: Fairytopia series.
The film stars Kelly Sheridan as the voice of Elina and Chiara Zanni
as the voice of Nori. The plot follows shortly after the events of the
previous movie, focusing on a now-full-fledged fairy named Elina and a
mermaid named Nori who attempt to rescue Nalu, a merman prince, from
the clutches of the evil Laverna. Like all the CGI Barbie films, dolls
and toys were produced and released with the film. This was also the
last Barbie film to be released on VHS.After the events of the first
film, Elina is having fun flying with her new wings, along with her
friend, Dandelion, and puffball, Bibble, who notices that they are
being followed. The person following them is the Sea-Butterfly, who
tells Elina that the prince of the merpeople, Nalu, has been captured
by Laverna's Fungi henchmen and begs her to help save him, to which
Elina agrees.The Fungi, led by Fungus Maximus ("Max" for short),
interrogate Nalu for the location of the immunity berry, which will
allow Laverna to escape her banishment and make her invulnerable to
all magic. When Nalu refuses to help the Fungi, Max threatens to
contaminate the water with a vial of powerful poison which will spread
throughout Nalu's kingdom of Mermaidia; Nalu then agrees to guide them
to the berry's location.When Elina later arrives, she meets Nori, a
friend of Nalu's. When informed of his kidnapping, Nori rudely rebuffs
Elina and goes off to rescue Nalu on her own. Eating seaweed that
enables them to breathe underwater, Elina and Bibble follow Nori to
Mermaidia. Nori tells Elina that she is looking for the oracle,
Delphine; the merfairies, who know where she is, tell Elina to meet
the ferry guide to find Delphine. Elina and Nori race to the fairy
ferry, run by a giant sea-snail named Shellie. Elina eventually
figures out that Shellie is really Delphine. Delphine tells them that
to find Nalu, they must brave the Depths of Despair and seek out the
Mirror of the Mist. Elina is also told that in order to face the
extremely strong currents of the Depths, she must give up her wings in
exchange for a tail; despite her reluctance, Elina is given a pearl
necklace that will turn blue when she chooses to become a mermaid, the
pearls will slowly turn back white whereupon Elina will need to go
back on land to regain her wings, if not, she will be a mermaid
permanently.
