Synopsis

Barbie: The Princess & the Popstar

Tori is a blonde princess who is bored of living her royal life, and has dreams of becoming a popstar. Keira, on the other hand, is a brunette popstar who dreams of being a princess. When the two meet, they magically trade places, but after realising it is best to be themselves.

The Magic Laboratory

Eli invents a collection of glowing jars filled with values that, when combined with animated story catalysts, create the perfect formula for success. His 10-year-old apprentice, Pauli, assists him in sorting the jars. When Pauli’s cousin Tino arrives, upset after being scolded for not helping his friend win a contest, he becomes the ideal candidate to test the formula.
