It is the first film adaptation of the streaming TV series, Barbie: Dreamhouse Adventures, as Dolphin Magic was marketed by Mattel as the pilot to the TV series.[8]
Barbie takes a road trip to the Kingdom of Floravia, having being invited by Floravia's princess Amelia. Barbie discovers that Amelia, whose life is rigidly controlled by her royal advisor Alfonso, wants to switch places with her for a week because the two look almost identical. Barbie agrees, and Amelia goes on to enjoy a week of freedom before her coronation. Amelia is kidnapped by her fiancé Prince Johan, who uncovers the ruse and wants to force Amelia to marry him so he can rule both his country and Floravia. Barbie rescues Amelia, and they foil Johan's plot. Afterwards, Amelia is crowned, and both Barbie and Amelia agree to remain true to themselves.
Other characters include Rose Ross, Snowy and Morning Star as well as Barbie's puppies; Taffy, Honey, DJ and Rookie.
