Character names from Barbie movies that have been changed in other countries. Brazil ver;

In the cinematographic world it is common that in the dubbing of other countries some things end up being changed, including characters' names, in today's post I will mention some of these adaptations, but focus on Brazilian adaptations.

• Sugar Plum Fairy

In Brazil, the Sugar Plum Fairy is called "Princesa Caramelo" means "Princess Caramel", I think they made this change from Sugar Plum to Caramel, because in Brazil children wouldn't find it "ameixa doce" which is the translation of sugar plum, so interesting, and they changed fairy for princess because in the movie she looks more like a princess than a fairy. I think it's cute: Princesa Caramelo, lol.

• Elina

In Brazil, our dear Elina had her name changed to "Fada do Campo" which means "Field Fairy" or "Garden Fairy". It is not known for sure why this sudden name change occurred, but this is how Elina is known in Brazil, and many do not know her real name.

• Catherine Beadnell

In Brazil, it was not his name that was changed, but her surname, Beadnell was replaced by "Brito", for being a more popular surname, and Beadnell would end up not captivating the public. How do you think that sounds? Catherine Brito!

• Enchantress

The sweet Enchantress had her name replaced by "Rainha das fadas" which means "Fairy Queen". The reason for the change is also not known for sure, but there is a theory that by translating her name, which would be "feiticeira" implying that she would be a witch, which would make the children confused, because how would the queen have that name when the villain is Laverna.

• Sunburst

Another character from the fairytopia franchise with a changed name haha. Sunburst had its name changed to "Fada Solar" which means "Sun Fairy". The name change may have been due to the fact that Sunburst is difficult to pronounce, and its translation would be "Reluzente" that wouldn't sound good in portuguese either.

• Mariposa

As we know Mariposa is a name of Spanish origin, which means butterfly, but in Brazil Mariposa was literally replaced by "Butterfly" Because in Brazil Mariposa means Moth, so they preferred to translate it into English which is more beautiful and the children associated her with a butterfly that is more beautiful than a moth. [extra information: when Prince Carlos calling her, he calls "Linda Butterfly" linda means beautiful, nobody knows the reason why, maybe for make it clear that he has a crush on Mariposa.]

• Catania

Catania is not a very common name in Brazil, so it was replaced by a similar and more common name, this name is "Catarina" this is a name of greek origin that means pure.

Barbie in a Mermaid Tale 2 and Barbie Mariposa and Princess Fairy - Similar things in these sequences.

These iconic Barbie movie sequels have more in common than you might think, and it's something that makes me extremely outraged, it's not about the stories of the movies being similar, it's more like a formula that the directors of the films used, I imagine that not only I but several other fans were disappointed with the sequels thanks to these specific points that I will mention.

Where is the iconic duo from the first film?

The besties Xylie and Kayla, the sisters Rayna and Rayla, who accompanied the protagonist during her journey in the first film, simply disappeared in the sequel to their respective films. In the second movie, they didn't have any appearances or quotes (Except Rayna and Rayla who were mentioned only once if I'm not mistaken) Not even to appear in the background or arriving to say "Hii, we miss u *hug hug* bye!"

Wasted sidekick

Zinzie didn't appear in the second movie, she could have gone back to the confused fields, but I think she'd be better off as Mariposa's sidekick. As for Remu, he appeared in the second film but... not as we expected, in the first film he showed his desire to be a musician, but he appeared as a TV presenter ;-;

The nice friend ≠ The stupid friend

In the first movie Hadley and Willa were super cool, Hadley was connected to the internet and knew about myths, but in the second movie she got extremely silly and only served as comic relief, which to me wasn't even that funny, besides not being careful with Merliah's belongings.The same thing happened with Willa, before she was nice and popular not as much as other butterfly fairies but she was pretty party but in the second movie she turned into a carefree fool, like hellooo even to the twins who used to treat her badly, she struggled at work, but now that she works at the F*cking castle, she got lazy.

Holes in the script

Both films end up deconstructing a lot of what was said in the first film, as in Mermaid Tale, about the way Merilia is conceived, as the ceremony is every 20 years, and Merliah is 17, it means that Calissa got pregnant after the ceremony, and she herself said that after that her tail became fixed, and she could no longer transform into a human, so before we knew how Merilia was conceived, we didn't know that Calissa could turn human, not to mention we thought Eris kind of had this disability of not being able to produce Merilia from no way, but the sequence shows that in fact, everything was much easier and less depressing for Eris. In Barbie Mariposa, we are introduced to Queen Marabela, who lit up Flutterfield with her magic when she arrived in town, but In the second movie we find out that before that happened the people of Shimmervale who supplied the Crystallites to Flutterfield, and that alliance was broken a few years ago, so many few years ago, so if it's been a thousand years since this happened, how come the butterfly fairies didn't go extinct? I'm not sure how the age of fairies works but Marabela doesn't look that old, so she must have appeared a few years before the first movie. How the butterfly fairies survived until the arrival of Marabela, it is literally a miracle, an impossible miracle. Considering that Marabela wanted to resume the alliance, we don't know if Carlos will inherit her power, but if one day she passes away, they will have Shimmervale as allies to protect them.

I am again overjoyed to hear that your desire of this restoration project has not waned in the passing time.  I do know that a large amount of time has passed since our last missive so I did have concern on your ambition. I will of course have to remind you again that we are still a noble house, and regardless of being Kin or not I have taken the mantle of Lord of Starreach and will request to be referred to as such even in communications of a written nature.

I have spent the time to review your request and your plans for the restoration of the complex in question.  While I have no doubt that the contractors you have selected are more than sufficient for the task I do appreciate the estimates in question and I will be sure to have these plans filed in case of future need.

you and isla have to team up and reenact the doodle
