Story
In Barbie in Princess Power, Barbie stars as Kara (voiced by Kelly Sheridan), a princess who would rather fly aeroplanes than go to fancy balls. One day Kara is kissed by a magic butterfly and she gains super powers. With the help of her two friends, Kara transforms into superhero Super Sparkle, who flies around town saving the day.
Kara’s jealous cousin Corinne (Britt Irvin) learns about Kara’s secret, captures the magic butterfly and transforms herself into Dark Sparkle. The two superheroes compete to be the best in town, but then the King’s advisor, Baron von Ravendale (Michael Kopsa), threatens to destroy the royal family and the town. This means that Dark Sparkle and Super Sparkle must learn to work together to save their friends and family.
