Elina, Kelly Sheridan, is now famous for defeating Laverna twice. She is invited to be Azura's apprentice at the Crystal Palace, Venus Terzo voicing Azura, where she will learn the ritual that brings the first rainbow of spring to life. Elina meets the other apprentices: Linden, Andrew Francis, an oread fairy who can talk to animals; Shimmer, Andrea Libman, a tiny and somewhat arrogant pixie with a lively tuft of hair; Lumina, Saffron Henderson, a moon fairy who foresees the future; Sunburst, Sharon Alexander, a sparkle fairy who dislikes Elina; and Glee, Lalainia Lindbjerg, a wood nymph who becomes Elina's best friend. Dandelion / Topaz, Tabitha St. Germain, joins the group as another spirited apprentice, while Dizzle, a puffball who falls for Bibble, is voiced by Cathy Weseluck. All together, they enter a world where magic dances with duty.
Unknown to Elina, Laverna, Kathleen Barr, the Enchantress's envious sister, plans to prevent the annual spring ritual the Flight of Spring and plunge Fairytopia into a 10-year winter. Elina does well in the first classes, earning the ire of Sunburst. Elina and Sunburst clash, getting them both reprimanded by Azura. Laverna leaves her exile and pretends to be a bewitched frog, deceiving Elina and Linden, who reverse the spell and free her. The two return to the palace to warn everyone, but the guardians don't believe that Laverna is loose because she left a decoy at the bogs, though Azura heeds their warning. Laverna finds Sunburst in the garden, captures her and uses a spell to take on her appearance in order to enter the palace. With Sunburst's appearance, Laverna poisons all the guardians without anyone suspecting her.
With the guardians in comas, the Enchantress gathers the apprentices and informs them they will need to perform the Flight of Spring, even though they are not fully trained. The apprentices practice the steps of the Flight of Spring, a magical dance that, only when correctly executed, can awaken the magical rainbow that marks the end of winter. During the flight, a small slip-up causes Elina to discover that Sunburst is actually Laverna; at this moment she stops, with the help of Bibble and Dizzle, sets out to find the real Sunburst. Since the weakness of sparkle fairies is water, Elina and her friends head to the river where they find Sunburst imprisoned in a magic bubble. Elina heads back to the garden bringing the real Sunburst with her. Laverna is forced to give up her disguise but demands the Enchantress hand over the crown or she will prevent the rite from being completed. The Enchantress hands over the crown and is imprisoned. Laverna does not keep her promise and shoots a magical ray to destroy the rainbow.
Elina steps in front of Laverna's magical ray and is helped by the other six apprentices, forming a spectrum with the seven colors of the rainbow that strike Laverna. Laverna loses her powers and is destroyed. The Enchantress and the Guardians are freed from the spells, and Elina's wings change to gain the beautiful colors of the rainbow. The rainbow finally appears, ushering in spring, and with their mission accomplished, Elina and Bibble can return to their home in the Magic Meadow.

This movie summary FAQ helps explain confusing scenes, plot twists, and narrative decisions in clear, searchable detail.
Elina was invited because she had already defeated Laverna twice in previous adventures, proving herself as a capable guardian. Her experience and heroism made her a candidate to learn the sacred ritual that brings the first rainbow of spring to life.
The earlier victories established Elina as a powerful fairy capable of facing Laverna.
Laverna pretended to be a bewitched frog living in the bogs. When Elina and Linden found her, they reversed the spell thinking they were helping a victim, not realizing it was actually Laverna freed from her exile.
Laverna had previously used deception to evade capture.
The guardians didn't believe them because Laverna had left a decoy at the bogs - something that made it appear she was still imprisoned. This trick convinced the guardians that Elina's warning was mistaken.
Laverna's cunning was already established through her escape.
Laverna captured the real Sunburst in the garden and used a transformation spell to take on her appearance. Posing as Sunburst, she was able to walk into the palace freely and poison all the guardians without raising suspicion.
The rivalry between Elina and Sunburst created an opportunity for Laverna.
Laverna needed Sunburst's appearance to infiltrate the palace, so she captured her in the garden. Sunburst was imprisoned in a magic bubble near the river - a location chosen because water is the weakness of sparkle fairies, making escape impossible.
The weakness of sparkle fairies was revealed during the apprentices' training.
During practice of the Flight of Spring, a small slip-up revealed Sunburst's true identity. Elina noticed something was wrong, stopped the rehearsal, and with Bibble and Dizzle's help, set out to find the real Sunburst.
The tension between Elina and Sunburst earlier foreshadowed this confrontation.
Laverna demanded the crown in exchange for not preventing the ritual, threatening to destroy the rite entirely. The Enchantress surrendered the crown to protect the ritual and was imprisoned as a result of this decision.
The stakes of the ritual were established when the guardians fell into comas.
When Laverna fired a magical ray to destroy the rainbow, Elina stepped in front of it to protect everyone. The other six apprentices joined her, and together they formed a spectrum with the seven colors of the rainbow. This combined magic struck Laverna and drained her powers, destroying her.
The Flight of Spring was designed to awaken rainbow magic.
Elina's wings transformed as a reward for her bravery and for protecting the rainbow. By stepping in front of Laverna's destructive ray and helping unite the apprentices, she proved herself worthy of the magical transformation.
The rainbow was the ultimate goal of the Flight of Spring ritual.
The Flight of Spring is a magical dance that must be correctly executed to awaken the first rainbow of spring. If it fails, winter would continue for ten years, endangering all of Fairytopia. The apprentices had to perform it despite not being fully trained.
The ritual was introduced when Elina first arrived at the Crystal Palace.
