My 3.5 year old and I both loved this movie. It was great to see Isla and Brooklyn meet each other, though you don't see as much of Isla. As an adult, if you look at the overarching movie plot it's a bit reminiscent of a YA fantasy novel (fantasy world with important competition, outsiders must compete but shunned, eventually accepted and save the day somehow). My daughter loved all the music and we have the playlist on repeat. The trash and littering has created a great talking point for us. Same with the three 'bully' characters and Marlo, they have good character arcs that you can use to start conversations about. SPOILER: I personally thought it was refreshing that Barbie wasn't the Power Keeper since that's how every single one of these movies ends, however it is a bit of a plot hole since Aquaryah wasn't selected as a competitor to begin with.
