The parents' guide to what's in this movie.
What parents need to know
Parents need to know that Bratz: Fashion Pixiez is a very dark entry in the Bratz DVD franchise with a threatening villain who uses black magic and sexuality to lure the young Bratz girls and their friends into a sinister world where danger awaits. People appear, disappear, and are transported against their will. Mysterious events and mild-altering eyeglasses turn some of the Bratz kids into mean, self-centered, and self-destructive pixies. In one scene, two little girls watch in terror as their mother guides them to safety and then is taken from them, maybe forever, by a frightening storm.

Bratz are fashion dolls. Don't expect anything more from the movies.
Bratz: Fashion Pixiez is great!
Love it!
What's the story?
On the eve of the Magnolia Ball, there's a new girl in school: Lina is beautiful (with typical Bratz girl makeup, fashion, and curves), strange, and secretive. And at the very same time, maybe not by accident, Cloe, Sasha, Jade, and Yasmin are worried about their good friend Cymbeline, who has changed suddenly into a spoiled, pouty mean girl. Cymbeline's little sister Breanna is upset; Yasmin and Cloe want to help. Two by two, the Bratz are transported into a magical world inhabited by pixies from "the dark side," unsettling garden gnomes which come to life, evil spells, and black magic. It's an eerie mystery during which Lina's strange origins and her quest for power spell danger for all of them. The Bratz friends must work together to save Cymbeline, Breanna, and finally themselves.
Is it any good?
The confusing story, grating electronic music, and dialogue which tries way too hard for hip and cool are offensive in this movie even by Bratz standards. Too many characters, plot elements, and disturbing action scenes make an almost incoherent plot even worse than it might have been.
Bratz movies are popular; some girls and tweens love them, but it appears that the producers take advantage of this fact and make films as cheaply and with as little thought as possible. In the case of Bratz: Fashion Pixiez mean girls rule, logic is in small supply, and no one worries about how scary or upsetting it may be to kids.

Cymbeline, Cloe, and Yasmin all become mean girls when they're under Lina's spell. How do you handle mean girls?
Why do you think this movie is called Fashion Pixiez? What does the story have to do with fashion? Do you think the title is designed to appeal to girls without revealing what the movie is really about?
