Bratz Kidz: Fairy Tales
The second Bratz Kidz film contains excerpts from fairy tales. As Cloe, Jade, Sasha and Yasmin put on a show about fairy tales for the kindergartners at their school, they think the characters they are supposed to be playing—as Rapunzel, Snow White, Red Riding Hood and Cinderella are all wimps—they could deal with the situations way better. Suddenly, a Chadwick Grimm appears and tells them off for dissing the fairy tale heroines. The girls are sent to Fairy Tale World to prove they could handle the situations better themselves. After Cloe as Rapunzel tries to escape the tower, Jade as Snow White tried to live with The 7-D's, Sasha as Red Riding Hood tries outsmarting the cunning wolf and Yasmin as Cinderella tries to escape her ugly, evil sisters and get to the ball, they realize they shouldn't misjudge someone before they have spent a day in their shoes.
Characters
