It was produced by MGA and [[Splash Entertainment|MoonScoop Entertainment]]. The series first aired on March 29, 2013.&lt;ref&gt;{{cite web|url=http://tvbythenumbers.zap2it.com/2013/02/11/nickelodeon-greenlights-lalaloopsy-will-premiere-in-spring-2013/169081/|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130213070810/http://tvbythenumbers.zap2it.com/2013/02/11/nickelodeon-greenlights-lalaloopsy-will-premiere-in-spring-2013/169081/|url-status=dead|archive-date=February 13, 2013|title=Nickelodeon Greenlights 'Lalaloopsy', Will Premiere in Spring 2013|last=Kondolojy|first=Amanda|date=February 11, 2013|work=TV by the Numbers|publisher=Zap2it|accessdate=January 29, 2015}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> The series' voice production was made and recorded in Calgary, AB, Canada, by Chinook Animation. After the first few episodes were aired on Nickelodeon, it was moved to the [[Nick Jr. Channel]]. The show's last episode aired on September 14, 2015. In December 2015, Viacom filed a lawsuit against MGA, stating that the toy company did not provide proper financing for the advertisement and production of the series. In September 2016, a judge awarded Viacom damages of over $14.9 million relating to the show.&lt;ref name=&quot;lawsuit-results&quot;&gt;https://www.law360.com/articles/837279&lt;/ref&gt; Less than a month later, the show was pulled from the lineup, with all traces of the show also being removed from Nick Jr.'s website.<br /> <br /> ==Plot==<br /> ''Lalaloopsy'' focuses on Lalaloopsy Land. Lalaloopsy Land is inhabited by colorful rag dolls, who came to life the moment their last stitch was sewn. Each episode focuses on one or two groups of them facing a problem of their own and either solving it on their own or with incidental or previously planned help from the other group of dolls seen in the episode.<br /> <br /> ==Episodes==<br /> {{main|List of Lalaloopsy episodes}}<br /> {{:List of Lalaloopsy episodes}}<br /> <br /> ==Characters==<br /> *Bea Spells-A-Lot (voiced by Hayley Stone)<br /> *Crumbs Sugar Cookie (voiced by Calista Schmidt)<br /> *Dot Starlight (voiced by Marissa Tawiah)<br /> *Jewel Sparkles (voiced by Selia Sangra)<br /> *Mittens Fluff ‘N’ Stuff (voiced by Paige Stone)<br /> *Pillow Featherbed (voiced by Zoe Marlett)<br /> *Peanut Big Top (voiced by Malia Ashley Kerr)<br /> *Rosy Bumps ‘N’ Bruises (voiced by Emma Duke)<br /> *Spot Splatter Splash (voiced by [[Tate McRae]])<br /> <br /> ===Supporting===<br /> *Ace Fender Bender (voiced by Griffin Kingston)<br /> *Berry Jars ‘N’ Jam (voiced by Anna Quick)<br /> *Blanket Featherbed (voiced by Jordan Anderson)<br /> *Blossom Flowerpot (voiced by Cascadas Lucia Fuller)<br /> *Bundles Snuggle Stuff (voiced by Taylor Walters)<br /> *Charlotte Charades (N/A)<br /> *Dyna Might (voiced by Jessica Hilbrecht)<br /> *Ember Flicker Flame (voiced by Jessica Young)<br /> *Forest Evergreen (voiced by Keaton Whitbread)<br /> *Holly Sleighbells (voiced by [[Tate McRae]])<br /> *Little Bah Peep (voiced by Greer Hunt)<br /> *Mango Tiki Wiki (voiced by Jaida Shaleena Lewis)<br /> *Mari Golden Petals (voiced by Bella Orman)<br /> *Marina Anchors (voiced by Greer Hunt)<br /> *Misty Mysterious (voiced by Sara Matsubara)<br /> *Patch Treasurechest (voiced by Andrew Hilbrecht)<br /> *Peggy Seven Seas (voiced by Joanna Burchacki)<br /> *Pepper Pots ‘N’ Pans (voiced by Aurora Hunt)<br /> *Peppy Pom Poms (voiced by Sofia Tchernetsky)<br /> *Pickles B.L.T.

The TeenNick channel was based on TEENick's branding and shows, and it stopped repeating The N's series in 2015. According to ''[[Polygon (website)|Polygon]]'', &quot;Nickelodeon began phasing out The N's programming and replacing it with TEENick, an entertainment block with no educational curriculum and zero involvement from Noggin.

One of the channel's goals was to &quot;dispel the conventional wisdom that educational programming is not entertaining enough to attract pre-teens and young adults.&quot;&lt;ref name=&quot;hubbub&quot;/&gt; The channel aired three blocks: a main block of tween shows throughout the day, a block for preschoolers in the early morning, and a block of &quot;adult retro&quot; series at night. The nighttime block received low ratings. Noggin's most notable effort to increase its nighttime viewership was a primetime block called ''The Hubbub'', which allowed viewers to send comments through Noggin's website and see them on TV.&lt;ref name=&quot;hubbub&quot;/&gt; Ratings never improved, and ''[[The New York Times]]'' called Noggin's nighttime promotions &quot;several failed efforts at nocturnal programming.&quot;&lt;ref name=&quot;nytson&quot;&gt;{{cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2006/04/02/arts/television/the-n-channel-finds-a-place-on-teenagers-screens.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180321030705/http://www.nytimes.com/2006/04/02/arts/television/the-n-channel-finds-a-place-on-teenagers-screens.html|archive-date=March 21, 2018|title=The N Finds a Place on Teenagers' Screens|work=[[The New York Times]]|date=April 2, 2006|last=Aurthur|first=Kate}}&lt;/ref&gt; This prompted Noggin's executives to reformat the channel.<br /> <br /> By April 1, 2002, Noggin had discarded its retro block and expanded the preschool and tween blocks to 12 hours each. The preschool block, also called &quot;the daytime block,&quot; aired from 6{{nbsp}}a.m. to 6{{nbsp}}p.m. each day.&lt;ref name=&quot;awn2002&quot;/&gt; The tween block ran from 6{{nbsp}}p.m. to 6{{nbsp}}a.m. daily, and it was retitled &quot;The N&quot;.&lt;ref name=&quot;awn2002&quot;/&gt; It took several months for Noggin to choose the new name for the tween block; as reported by ''[[Kidscreen]]'' in 2002, they wanted a name to &quot;help distance and distinguish the tween programming from the preschool fare,&quot;&lt;ref name=&quot;educon&quot;/&gt; but the legal department also required that the block's name be related to the name of the channel.&lt;ref name=&quot;educon&quot;/&gt;<br /> <br /> The N, like the rest of the Noggin channel, was launched as a joint venture of Viacom and Sesame Workshop.&lt;ref name=&quot;c21media02&quot;/&gt; Noggin unveiled the logo for The N in January 2002.&lt;ref name=&quot;1logo&quot;&gt;{{cite web|url=https://trademarks.justia.com/781/01/the-n-noggin-78101422.html|title=THE N NOGGIN|date=January 26, 2002|work=[[Justia]]}}&lt;/ref&gt; The first logo was a rounded hand symbol with &quot;The N&quot; on the palm and a matching rounded label underneath, reading &quot;NOGGIN&quot;.&lt;ref name=&quot;1logo&quot;/&gt; The logo was often simplified without the Noggin label at the bottom; when the channel name was not a part of the logo, taglines were used to describe Noggin as The N's namesake instead.

In the end, after multiple running attempts between both parties (family dinner and pool party), Polly realizes that family is more important than looking cool, and aborts her high-dive attempt, carefully escorting the pool party attendees out and passing her model off as her dad's after accidentally wrecking the original model.

She even crashes their dance practice, where she eventually reveals she figured out their plan. However, instead of reforming Gwen, the trio learn they've made her confidant enough to try to steal the locket for herself, culminating in a chase across the stage between the shrunken trio and a more evil Gwen, ultimately ending with her getting praise from the audience and Griselle, who all thought she was doing an abstract dance.<br /> <br /> In the B-story, Polly keeps losing opportunities to improve her ballet skills for the trio's audition to join a local dance troupe.

While working with Nicolas Wells on their family tree projects at school, the locket restores Polly to normal size after having adverse affects on her body and Shani's, ultimately ending with the four of them banned from the library by a grumpy teacher. While Polly goes to Grandma Penelope for help, Nicolas and Shani discover a shrunken manuscript belonging to Polly's ancestor Prudence Pocket among the miniatures in Griselle's collection, Nicolas disguises himself as an old man (with Lila Draper's makeup) and trades his bologna sandwich for the book before Gwen Grande inadvertently reveals the deception. As the 4 kids and Penelope read the book, they discover that Prudence was a benevolent pirate captain who discovered an elemental compound named Pockite which she discovered near what would become the town of Littleton. After accepting the locket as a gift from the island's natives, she used her own gadgetry and some of the Pockite crystal to power her locket, getting the power of size alteration.<br /> <br /> However, not only did she have to stay near the caves she found the Pockite in, hence founding Littleton, but she had to protect them from people like her rival Grunwalda (Who bears a resemblance to Griselle Grande) on her own. She also discovered that the more the locket's power was used, the more Pockite energy was transferred into the person or object shrunk. Realizing that's why the locket's powers drained, the team follows a map to a pocket-sized tunnel in the history section of the library after sneaking back in. However, Nicolas' bologna sandwich is discovered to be a perfect substitute for the poloxium Griselle needs to power her new freeze ray, which temporarily freezes whoever or whatever it touches in a translucent blue diamond-like material, and plans to use it on the Pocket Posse when she finds them shrunk down and trying to enter Prudence's secret tunnel.<br /> <br /> NOTES: It is revealed Prudence Pocket was a pirate, and that she created the Pocket Locket before becoming the founder and first mayor of Littleton. She was also the first of Polly's ancestors to make Littleton a better place. When Nicholas claims that the locket malfunctioning is a result of Polly angering the &quot;Patrons of the Paranormal&quot;, Lila, once again being offended by a minor sexist remark, retorts &quot;Why not the Matrons?&quot; This is similar to some peoples' views of whether God is a man or a woman.<br /> |LineColor = #883297<br /> }}<br /> {{Episode list<br /> |EpisodeNumber = 26<br /> |Title = Unlocketing the Past: Part 2<br /> |DirectedBy = Brent Bouchard and Jon Izen<br /> |WrittenBy = Shea Fontana<br /> |Aux2 = Jeff Bittle and Melissa Allen<br /> |OriginalAirDate = {{Start date|2018|11|25}}<br /> |ProdCode = 126<br /> |ShortSummary = {{Long plot|episode|date=November 2019}} With little options, Penelope sacrifices herself and ends up turned into a frozen miniature figure, while Polly, Lila, Shani and Nicolas head into the tunnels leading to both Prudence's lair and the caves where she first found the Pockite ages ago. However, the Grandes send Gwen's new pet rat to go after them, only for it to be defeated by Prudence's series of tests and booby traps which Shani helps the group to solve. However, after finding the Pockite caves, the group not only recharges Polly's locket but also unearth a person frozen in suspended animation by Pockite crystal. The pirate woman they find, revealing herself to be Grunwalda, steals Polly's locket, enlarges herself and reveals her part of the backstory in the last episode.<br /> <br /> After discovering the existence of Prudence's locket, she thought the captain was keeping the power all for herself, especially since she trusted no one else with this knowledge. But when their chase led to both of them being shrunk and trapped in the cave, Prudence tries in vain to stop Grunwalda from causing a chain reaction from breaking apart a Pockite crystal. Following her escape, Prudence went on to be the first mayor of Littleton, and the events of her story arc (mentioned in episode 1 and the 2-part mid-season finale) went on, not knowing that the liquid Pockite froze around Grunwalda and kept her alive for 300 years. After reclaiming her locket and tricking the pirate, the kids escape, only to get caught and frozen into miniature figurines by Griselle after a failed escape attempt by Penelope. By the time they &quot;thaw&quot;, they discover Gwen and Griselle have hooked Polly's locket to an advanced version of their shrink ray from episode 2 and have retreated into their fallout shelter, as they plan to return in three months to conquer the shrunken citizens of Littleton without being shrunken down, too.<br /> <br /> Not wanting to make the same mistake Prudence did, Polly leads her team in the attempt to recreate Prudence's theories of the locket making them super-tiny. This allows them to hop into the inner working of the machine after getting the locket back, and shuts down the ray. However, they all have to pull Polly out when the effect wears of and enlarges her left hand too soon. After being restored to full size, Polly gives her family history report at school, and dedicates it not only to her Grandma, but also to Lila, Shani and Nic, who proved themselves honorary Pockets (a minor issue discussed in the last episode, and this one during their confrontation with Grunwalda) and that they are the best friends she ever picked. The episode, and Season 1, ends as follows: Grandma Penelope adds her own recount of adventures to a continuation of Prudence Pocket's manuscript before giving it over to Polly so that she can chronicle the future adventures of the Pocket Posse for the next locket-bearers to come; Griselle and Gwen, unaware of Polly and her friends victory, remain in their shelter and laugh maniacally; and, in the most cliche of cliffhanger endings, Grunwalda is revealed to have survived the cave in of the Pockite tunnels, now revealed to have been infused with the crystals' energy as she climbs out of the rubble and swears &quot;I'll get ye,Polly Pocket!&quot; and cackles madly.<br /> <br /> NOTES: It is revealed Prudence Pocket's former shipmate and rival, the Gruesome Grunwalda, was frozen in suspended animation for 300 years after a tragic accident in the Pockite cavern. Though her hair, behaviorisms and facial features have a slight resemblance to Griselle Grande, it is not yet confirmed that she is the latter's ancestor. If the ARE related, then she is also the second Grande to don the Pocket Locket before Polly reclaims it. In the end, she becomes affected by the Pockite's magic again, this time gaining glowing pink eyes and enhanced strength as she plots her revenge on Polly and her friends.<br /> <br /> *Guest star: [[Kathleen Barr]] as Gruesome Grunwalda.<br /> |LineColor = #883297<br /> }}<br /> }}<br /> <br /> === Season 2 (2020) ===<br /> From this season onwards, episodes were released on Netflix in the United States, although they aired on linear television via Universal Kids there.

The franchise was rebooted in 2016 with an origin story film called ''Welcome to Monster High'', using revamped face molds, upgraded animation technologies and techniques, which was not well received by critics and fans and led to its initial discontinuation in early 2018.<br /> <br /> ===Development===<br /> On February 23, 2021, [[Mattel]], through [[Mattel Television|its television division]],

The characters' stories were told through the TV series, [[web series]], films, the official website, as well as through diaries (booklets) included with the dolls. Since the franchise's beginnings in the late 2000s and early 2010s, Monster High has valued diversity among its characters and their visual appearance, personalities, abilities, and cultural backgrounds.&lt;ref name=&quot;MHFan&quot;&gt;{{Cite journal |last=Austin |first=Sara Mariel |date=2016 |title=Valuing queer identity in Monster High doll fandom |url=https://journal.transformativeworks.org/index.php/twc/article/view/693/720 |url-status=live |journal=[[Transformative Works and Cultures]] |volume=22 |doi=10.3983/twc.2016.0693 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220221213227/https://journal.transformativeworks.org/index.php/twc/article/view/693/720 |archive-date=February 21, 2022 |access-date=May 18, 2022}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> ===Characters===<br /> {{Main|List of Monster High characters}}<br /> ''Monster High'' features a variety of fictional characters, many of them being students at the titular high school. The female characters are called &quot;ghouls&quot;, and the male characters are called &quot;mansters&quot;. When the franchise was first introduced, the characters were generally the sons and daughters of monsters that have been popularized in fiction; in later years, it expanded to also feature characters inspired by other various types of mythical creatures, such as figures from [[folklore]], [[mythology]], and [[Popular culture|pop culture]].<br /> <br /> The franchise's official website at the time listed characters in four categories: &quot;original&quot; – the main characters who were introduced the earliest, &quot;ghouls&quot; – the female characters, &quot;mansters&quot; – the male characters, and &quot;Frightmares&quot; – characters who are half-[[centaur]] and half-monster.&lt;ref name=&quot;char&quot;&gt;{{cite web|title=Characters|url=http://www.monsterhigh.com/en-us/character/index.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220221221200/https://play.monsterhigh.com/en-us/characters|archive-date=21 February 2022|access-date=21 February 2022|work=Monster High|publisher=[[Mattel]]}}&lt;/ref&gt; The original characters are:<br /> * '''Frankie Stein''' (voiced by [[Kate Higgins]] from 2010 to 2016, [[Cassandra Lee Morris]] between 2016 and 2018 and Iris Menas from 2022 onward)&lt;ref&gt;{{cite web|url=https://www.behindthevoiceactors.com/characters/Monster-High/Frankie-Stein/|title=Frankie Stein Voice - Monster High franchise|website=Behind The Voice Actors}}&lt;/ref&gt; is the daughter of [[Frankenstein's monster]] and [[Bride of Frankenstein (character)|his bride]].

''[[Ever After High]]'' (abbreviated ''EAH'') launched in July 2013 and features the children of characters of well-known [[fairy tale]]s and [[fable]]s. The franchise stars ''Apple White'', daughter of [[Snow White]] and ''Raven Queen'', daughter of the [[Evil Queen]] also from Snow White in lead roles. Both represent the main conflict of its associated web series originally released on YouTube: the Royals, which is composed of students like ''Apple White'' who &quot;want to follow their predetermined fairy tale story&quot;, versus the Rebels, which composed of students like Raven Queen who &quot;wish to “rewrite” their story/tale&quot;. The ''C. A. Cupid'' character from ''Monster High'' began featuring in its corresponding series from the 4th webisode onward where she is an exchange student there.<br /> <br /> The second companion line was launched on 18 July 2017 as [[Enchantimals]], featuring animal-inspired humanoid characters with a corresponding animal companion each as their pets.

Fogel also directed several episodes of ''[[Daria]]''.<br /> <br /> ==Early life==<br /> Fogel graduated from [[New York University]]'s Tisch School of the Arts in 1991 with a BFA in Film/TV. During his time there he created his first animated film, titled ''Mutilator: Hero of the Wasteland'', a film which one professor cited as being &quot;inappropriate due to its violent content.&quot; Mutilator would go on to win NYU's Award of Excellence in Animation and became a cult favorite of [[Spike and Mike's Sick and Twisted Festival of Animation]]. Fogel continued to produce animated shorts, including a sequel to his Mutilator short. He soon had his reel come across the desk of an executive at [[MTV Animation]], which landed him a job at the studio. Where, while working on his first series; [[The Head (1994 TV series)|The Head]], also directed episodes of [[Cartoon Sushi]] (which featured the original [[Celebrity Deathmatch]] pilot), and [[Daria]].<br /> <br /> ==Career==<br /> ===The Head===<br /> {{Main|The Head (1994 TV series)}}<br /> <br /> In 1994, at age of twenty-four, Fogel created his first animated series for [[MTV]]. The Head was a bizarre show about a high-spirited alien named Roy, who survived on Earth by living inside the head of an everyman named Jim. The show, which blended sci-fi action and comedy, ran for two seasons before being cancelled by MTV.<br /> <br /> In 1996, the same year the series had been cancelled; Pocket Books/Simon &amp; Schuster published a graphic novel based on the series titled ''The Head: A Legend Is Born''. The graphic novel was based on a script from the series that was never animated. Fogel and Gordon Barnett wrote the novel.<br /> <br /> ===Celebrity Deathmatch===<br /> {{Main|Celebrity Deathmatch}}<br /> Fogels next series was made in stop-motion animation. Clay-versions of celebrities square off in a ring and proceed to beat the pulp out of one another. Celebrity Deathmatch premiered in 1998 during the Super Bowl Halftime and turned out to be the highest rated special in the history of MTV. Fogel directed every episode from 1998 to 2002, along with voicing some characters, and the show became popular enough for Fogel to be named one of the most creative people in the TV industry by [[Entertainment Weekly]]. Four seasons and nearly a hundred episodes later, Deathmatch was known over the world and remained as one of MTV's highest rated shows. Most of Fogel's projects have been in claymation ever since.<br /> <br /> In 1999, a Celebrity Deathmatch soundtrack was released, the single &quot;Astonishing Panorama of the Endtimes&quot; by Marilyn Manson had a video directed by Fogel in the style of the show. Though no wrestling is involved, the two hosts from Celebrity Deathmatch introduce Manson and his entire band are portrayed in clay performing the song.<br /> <br /> In 2006, Deathmatch was revived by [[MTV2]], but Fogel decided not to get involved with the show so he could work in his new show [[Starveillance]]. Despite being replaced by [[Jack Fletcher]] and [[Dave 'Canadian' Thomas]], Fogel was still credited as the creator and co-executive producer of the show.<br /> <br /> ===Starveillance===<br /> {{Main|Starveillance}}<br /> Fogel created a new claymation series called Starveillance which parodies several celebrity situations through claymation animation and debuted on January 5, 2007, on E! to positive reviews, however E! decided to cancel the series after one season due to low ratings. Fogel's production company Fogelmania Productions and [[Cuppa Coffee Studios]] produced the show.<br /> <br /> ==Filmography==<br /> {| class=&quot;wikitable&quot;<br /> |+<br /> |-<br /> !

The series was produced using [[Hand puppet|rod puppetry]] and 2D animated mouths. The series revolves around two slackers who try various [[Jackass (TV series)|Jackass]]-esque stunts that inevitably end in disaster. Fogel has uploaded most of the shorts to his [[YouTube]] channel.<br /> <br /> Fogel's latest series; ''[[Glenn Martin, DDS]]'', which he co-created with Alex Berger and [[Michael Eisner]] premiered on [[Nick at Nite]] in the United States and [[Citytv]] in Canada in 2009. The show lasted for two seasons, and ended in 2011. The series followed the adventures of Glenn Martin, a road doctor, and his family. The show generated some controversy due to its inappropriate content (sexual references) and time slot, which aired following ''[[SpongeBob SquarePants]]''. The series was produced by Cuppa Coffee Studios and [[The Tornante Company]]'s animation division, [[The Tornante Company|Tornante Animation]] and distributed by [[Rogers Communications]].<br /> <br /> In 2013, Fogel started a [[Kickstarter]] campaign to raise money for his new short film called ''Havoc'', loosely based on his short film, ''Mutilator''. The short is about a lone warrior facing off against mutants in a post-apocalyptic setting. While funding for the short was unsuccessful, Fogel later alluded on his Twitter that he still had plans to produce the short, saying; ''Havoc will live on!''&lt;ref&gt;[https://twitter.com/Deathmatch_Guy/status/309735865154940928.html] Twitter Retrieved on 7-8-15.&lt;/ref&gt; In 2015, Fogel uploaded an animatic of the short to his YouTube channel.&lt;ref&gt;[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XocNaEVCxo0.html] YouTube Retrieved on 7-8-15.&lt;/ref&gt; Fogel was also an executive producer for the ''Team Smithereen'' pilot, which was released in 2013.<br /> <br /> Recently, from 2014 to 2015, Fogel directed 9 episodes of the [[Nickelodeon]] series ''[[Wallykazam!]]''.<br /> <br /> Also in 2015, another revival of Deathmatch was ordered by MTV2. With Fogel, Paul Ricci, and Chris McCarthy behind the project. The revived series would be re-envisioned for ''a social media world and hourly Twitter wars,'' but was later scrapped in December 2016 due to MTV not ordering a pilot to the series. In 2018, MTV announced yet another revival of the show was set to air in 2019 with Ice Cube serving as co-executive producer and host. Despite that, nothing official ever surfaced and is speculated to have been cancelled.&lt;ref&gt;[http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/celebrity-deathmatch-revived-at-mtv2-788551.html] [[The Hollywood Reporter]].

The tale stars Barbie as Eden Starling the glamorous singing diva of a theatre in Victorian London. Along with her snooty cat, Chuzzlewit, Eden selfishly plans to make all the theatre performers stay and rehearse on Christmas Day! Not even Eden's costume designer and childhood friend, Catherine can talk Eden out of her self-centered tantrum. It's up to three very unusual Christmas Spirits to take Eden on a fantastical holiday journey that will open her heart to the spirit of the season and the joy of giving. Barbie in A Christmas Carol is a family favorite to enjoy every holiday season!&quot;&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite web |title=Barbie in A Christmas Carol |url=https://play.google.com/store/movies/details/Barbie_in_A_Christmas_Carol?id=Gnz0U2VY8mk&amp;hl=en_US&amp;gl=US |access-date=2022-07-23 |website=[[Google Play]] |language=en}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Plot==<br /> On Christmas Eve, Kelly is reluctant to go to a [[Christmas Eve]] ball, so Barbie tells her the story of Eden Starling, a [[glamorous]] singing diva in [[Victorian England]] and the owner of a theatre house. However, Eden is self-centered and loves only herself. She is very arrogant and believes that &quot;In a selfish world, selfish succeed&quot;. She is frequently accompanied by her snooty cat, Chuzzlewit. She does not believe in Christmas and orders all her employees to work on Christmas Day, threatening that if anyone talks about Christmas or goes home to celebrate, they will get fired.<br /> <br /> Eden's employees, Freddy, Ann, Nan, Maurice, and costume designer Catherine are disappointed to hear the news. Catherine Beadnell, as Eden's best friend since childhood, tries to persuade Eden otherwise, but is met with no success. That night, Eden receives a visit from the spirit of her late Aunt Marie, who reveals she intends to send three spirits to see Eden. The three spirits will convince Eden to change her life, each by showing Eden her past, her present, and her future.<br /> <br /> In Eden's past, Aunt Marie was very strict. She insisted that Eden practices [[singing]] and playing [[piano]] without giving her a chance to take a rest on Christmas. Secretly, Eden went to her old, dearest friend Catherine's house to celebrate Christmas. There they sang together. But Aunt Marie came and forbade Eden to celebrate Christmas after that.<br /> <br /> Meanwhile, the spirit of Christmas present shows Eden that Catherine is a truly generous person as she gives the orphans clothes. Eden is touched by this view but still doesn't give in.<br /> <br /> Finally the spirit of Christmas future brings Eden to the coldest choice of life. Eden has lost her fame and becomes so poor, even Chuzzlewit's only [[dinner]], a rat, runs away! Eden later meets Catherine who has become a rich designer, but also with an arrogant attitude, just like the previous Eden.<br /> <br /> Eden awakens from her dreams a changed person. She decides to let her employees have a holiday and is good to them too. Through her good deeds, Eden ultimately learns to keep the spirit of Christmas every day of the year.<br /> <br /> Through these journeys, Eden is able to change her life and learns to help and love others.<br /> <br /> Kelly changes her mind about Christmas after listening to Barbie's stories. She decides to go to the donation party just as Nikki comes into Barbie's bedroom.<br /> <br /> ==Voice cast==<br /> {{Cast listing|<br /> *Barbie - [[Kelly Sheridan]]&lt;ref&gt;{{Citation |title=Barbie in 'A Christmas Carol' (Video 2008) -

However, Eden is self-centered and loves only herself. She is very arrogant and believes that &quot;In a selfish world, selfish succeed&quot;. She is frequently accompanied by her snooty cat, Chuzzlewit. She does not believe in Christmas and orders all her employees to work on Christmas Day, threatening that if anyone talks about Christmas or goes home to celebrate, they will get fired.<br /> <br /> Eden's employees, Freddy, Ann, Nan, Maurice, and costume designer Catherine are disappointed to hear the news. Catherine Beadnell, as Eden's best friend since childhood, tries to persuade Eden otherwise, but is met with no success. That night, Eden receives a visit from the spirit of her late Aunt Marie, who reveals she intends to send three spirits to see Eden. The three spirits will convince Eden to change her life, each by showing Eden her past, her present, and her future.<br /> <br /> In Eden's past, Aunt Marie was very strict. She insisted that Eden practices [[singing]] and playing [[piano]] without giving her a chance to take a rest on Christmas. Secretly, Eden went to her old, dearest friend Catherine's house to celebrate Christmas. There they sang together. But Aunt Marie came and forbade Eden to celebrate Christmas after that.<br /> <br /> Meanwhile, the spirit of Christmas present shows Eden that Catherine is a truly generous person as she gives the orphans clothes. Eden is touched by this view but still doesn't give in.<br /> <br /> Finally the spirit of Christmas future brings Eden to the coldest choice of life. Eden has lost her fame and becomes so poor, even Chuzzlewit's only [[dinner]], a rat, runs away! Eden later meets Catherine who has become a rich designer, but also with an arrogant attitude, just like the previous Eden.<br /> <br /> Eden awakens from her dreams a changed person. She decides to let her employees have a holiday and is good to them too. Through her good deeds, Eden ultimately learns to keep the spirit of Christmas every day of the year.<br /> <br /> Through these journeys, Eden is able to change her life and learns to help and love others.<br /> <br /> Kelly changes her mind about Christmas after listening to Barbie's stories. She decides to go to the donation party just as Nikki comes into Barbie's bedroom.<br /> <br /> ==Voice cast==<br /> {{Cast listing|<br /> *Barbie - [[Kelly Sheridan]]&lt;ref&gt;{{Citation |title=Barbie in 'A Christmas Carol' (Video 2008) -

At the whim of a spoiled young girl named Makena, Thumbelina and her two friends have their patch of wildflowers uprooted and are transported to a lavish apartment in the city. Here they learn of construction plans that threaten to destroy the land of the Twillerbees! Harnessing the magic of nature, Thumbelina sets out to prove that even the smallest person can make a big difference.&quot;&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite web |title=Barbie Presents Thumbelina - Movies on Google Play |url=https://play.google.com/store/movies/details/Barbie_Presents_Thumbelina?id=S3JHLCQplyc&amp;hl=en_US&amp;gl=US |access-date=2022-07-23 |website=play.google.com |language=en}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Plot==<br /> The story opens with Barbie and kindergarten students walking in a big meadow, ready to plant trees. Emma, one of the children, finds a small tree and decides to plant it, but her friends laugh at her because of it, making her sad. However, Barbie cheers her up by telling her that a small tree can grow into a very big tree, then tells her the story of Thumbelina.<br /> <br /> Thumbelina is one of the Twillerbees, wingless fairies who spawn from flowers and whose magic affects plant growth. Learning that some Twillerbuds are growing and will soon open to reveal new Twillerbabies, Thumbelina constructs false wing [[Hangglider|glider]]s for herself and her friends Janessa and Chrysella, so they can monitor the Twillerbud flowers until the babies are &quot;born&quot;.<br /> <br /> Tractors arrive in the field and remove part of the flowerbed, with the three friends hiding inside. The plants, now potted, are placed in an apartment belonging to the parents of a spoiled, wealthy girl named Makena; she keeps the flowers in her bedroom. As Thumbelina, Chrysella, and Janessa search for a way to go back to their field, Makena's dog Poofles runs after them. Makena comes into the bedroom while the trio hides. Makena talks to her friend Violet on a cell phone about her parents, who intend to build a factory on the Twillerbees' field. An upset Thumbelina reveals herself and scolds Makena; Makena, surprised, sees the ownership of a Twillerbee as a way to one-up Violet, whom she always competes with.<br /> <br /> The three Twillerbees try, unsuccessfully, to escape from Makena and Poofles. Finally, Thumbelina is able to send Chrysella and Janessa home, to disturb the work in the field while Thumbelina talks to Makena. Thumbelina makes Makena promise not to tell anyone about her, and to persuade her parents to stop building the factory. In return, Thumbelina agrees to create special plants for Makena.<br /> <br /> Makena, determined to show off in front of her friends, agrees to the deal but only perfunctorily talks to her parents about the factory project. She also breaks her promise and brings Violet and another girl named Ashlyn to show off Thumbelina and her powers. Thumbelina angrily leaves, and Makena realizes that the other two badly-behaved girls are not her true friends. Missing Thumbelina's companionship, Makena goes to the field and begs forgiveness. Thumbelina reveals the rest of the Twillerbees, and the Twillerbuds, to Makena, who becomes determined to save them.<br /> <br /> That night, Makena, Thumbelina, Janessa, Chrysella, Poofles, and Lola the bird all work hard in a greenhouse to grow the plants. The next day, Makena shows her parents the result and asks them to stop the building. Thumbelina appears, and explains to the adults about the Twillerbuds that will bloom soon. Evan and Vanessa, Makena's parents, are convinced, and agree to stop Myron, the contractor, from destroying the field.<br /> <br /> Thanks to some birds and the other Twillerbees, Myron's workers are tricked into believing the field is haunted, and flee. However, Myron is angry and determined to finish his work, as he is allergic to flowers and wants them gone. Ultimately, Makena and Thumbelina arrive and halt Myron long enough for Evan and Vanessa to arrive at the field and have the factory project shut down. A team of birds chases Myron away, and Makena and her family watch the Twillerbuds bloom. To prevent others from destroying the field, they turn the field into a Reserved Park.<br /> <br /> As Barbie finishes the story, an adult Makena arrives and reveals they are in the Reserved Park, which now belongs to her. Barbie says that even the smallest person can make a big difference; Makena is small, compared to the other adults, just like the children.<br /> <br /> ==Voice cast==<br /> {{Cast listing|<br /> *Barbie - [[Kelly Sheridan]]&lt;ref&gt;{{Citation |title=Barbie Presents: Thumbelina (Video 2009) - IMDb |url=http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1398940/characters/nm0792198 |access-date=2022-07-23}}&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite web |title=Barbie Thumbelina |url=https://www.behindthevoiceactors.com/movies/Barbie-Thumbelina/ |access-date=2022-07-23 |website=Behind The Voice Actors |language=en-US}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> *Thumbelina - [[Anna Cummer]]<br /> *Makena - [[Kelly Metzger]]<br /> *Chrysella - [[Tabitha St. Germain]]<br /> *Janessa - [[Cathy Weseluck]]<br /> *Vanessa - [[Kathleen Barr]]<br /> *Evan - [[Peter New]]<br /> *Poofles - [[Brian Drummond]]<br /> *Myron - [[Louis Chirillo]]<br /> *Louie - [[Garry Chalk]]<br /> *Rick - [[Mackenzie Gray]]<br /> *Carla - [[France Perras]]<br /> *Violet - [[Ashleigh Ball (voice actress)|Ashleigh Ball]]<br /> *Emma - [[Natasha Calis]]<br /> }}<br /> <br /> == See also ==<br /> <br /> * [[Barbie (media franchise)]]<br /> * [[Barbie: Fairytopia]]<br /> * [[Barbie: A Fairy Secret]]<br /> <br /> ==References==<br /> {{Reflist}}<br /> <br /> ==External links==<br /> *{{IMDb title|1398940}}<br /> *{{rotten tomatoes|barbie-presents-thumbelina}}<br /> *{{Amg movie|477450|barbie-presents-thumbelina}}<br /> {{Barbie movies}}<br /> {{Thumbelina}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:2009 direct-to-video films]]<br /> [[Category:2009 computer-animated films]]<br /> [[Category:Films set in the 21st century]]<br /> [[Category:American direct-to-video films]]<br /> [[Category:Canadian direct-to-video films]]<br /> [[Category:Canadian independent films]]<br /> [[Category:2000s American animated films]]<br /> [[Category:Canadian animated feature films]]<br /> [[Category:2000s English-language films]]<br /> [[Category:Universal Pictures direct-to-video animated films]]<br /> [[Category:Universal Pictures direct-to-video films]]<br /> [[Category:Barbie films|Thumbelina]]<br /> [[Category:2009 fantasy films]]<br /> [[Category:Films based on Thumbelina]]<br /> [[Category:Canadian fantasy films]]<br /> [[Category:American children's animated fantasy films]]<br /> [[Category:Films set in the United States]]<br /> [[Category:Environmental films]]<br /> [[Category:2009 films]]</div> Lockejava https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Barbie_in_a_Christmas_Carol&diff=1100071702 Barbie in a Christmas Carol 2022-07-24T02:42:19Z <p>Lockejava: </p> <hr /> <div>{{Infobox Film<br /> | name = {{PAGENAME}}<br /> | image = <br /> | caption = DVD cover art<br /> | director = William Lau<br /> | producer = Anita Lee<br /> | writer = [[Elise Allen]]<br /> | starring = [[Kelly Sheridan]] &lt;br&gt; [[Morwenna Banks]] &lt;br&gt; [[Kathleen Barr]]<br /> | music = <br /> | editing = Ryan Brassington<br /> | distributor = [[Kidtoon Films]] (theatrical)&lt;br&gt;[[Universal Studios Home Entertainment]] (DVD)<br /> | released = November 4, 2008<br /> | runtime = 78 minutes<br /> | country = United States&lt;br&gt;Canada<br /> | language = [[English Language|English]]<br /> | budget = <br /> | gross = $4,453,567 (U.S) DVD sales &lt;ref&gt;http://www.the-numbers.com/movies/2008/0BRCC.php&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> }}<br /> '''''Barbie in A Christmas Carol''''' is a 2008 [[Computer animation|computer-animated]] [[List of Christmas films|Christmas film]] directed by William Lau and produced by [[Mattel Entertainment]] with [[Rainmaker Entertainment]].

Barbie in A Christmas Carol is a family favorite to enjoy every holiday season!&quot;&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite web |title=Barbie in A Christmas Carol |url=https://play.google.com/store/movies/details/Barbie_in_A_Christmas_Carol?id=Gnz0U2VY8mk&amp;hl=en_US&amp;gl=US |access-date=2022-07-23 |website=[[Google Play]] |language=en}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Plot==<br /> On Christmas Eve, Kelly is reluctant to go to a [[Christmas Eve]] ball, so Barbie tells her the story of Eden Starling, a [[glamorous]] singing diva in [[Victorian England]] and the owner of a theatre house. However, Eden is self-centred and loves only herself. She is very arrogent and believes that &quot;In a selfish world, selfish suceed&quot;. She is frequently accompanied by her snooty cat, Chuzzlewit. She does not believe in Christmas and orders all her employees to work on Christmas Day, threatning that if anyone talks about Christmas or goes home to celebrate, they will get fired.<br /> <br /> Eden's employees, Freddy, Ann, Nan, Maurice, and costume designer Catherine are disappointed to hear the news. Catherine Beadnell, as Eden's best friend since childhood, tries to persuade Eden otherwise, but is met with no success. That night, Eden receives a visit from the spirit of her late Aunt Marie, who reveals she intends to send three spirits to see Eden. The three spirits will convince Eden to change her life, each by showing Eden her past, her present, and her future.<br /> <br /> In Eden's past, Aunt Marie was very strict. She insisted that Eden practices [[singing]] and playing [[piano]] without giving her a chance to take a rest on Christmas. Secretly, Eden went to her old, dearest friend Catherine's house to celebrate Christmas. There they sang together. But Aunt Marie came and forbade Eden to celebrate Christmas after that.<br /> <br /> Meanwhile, the spirit of Christmas present shows Eden that Catherine is a truly generous person as she gives the orphans clothes. Eden is touched by this view but still doesn't give in.<br /> <br /> Finally the spirit of Christmas future brings Eden to the coldest choice of life. Eden has lost her fame and becomes so poor, even Chuzzlewit's only [[dinner]], a rat, runs away! Eden later meets Catherine who has become a rich designer, but also with an arrogant attitude, just like the previous Eden.<br /> <br /> Eden awakens from her dreams a changed person. She decides to let her employees have a holiday and is good to them too. Through her good deeds, Eden ultimately learns to keep the spirit of Christmas every day of the year.<br /> <br /> Through these journeys, Eden is able to change her life and learns to help and love others.<br /> <br /> Kelly changes her mind about Christmas after listening to Barbie's stories. She decides to go to the donation party just as Nikki comes into Barbie's bedroom.<br /> <br /> ==Voice cast==<br /> {{Cast listing|<br /> *Barbie - [[Kelly Sheridan]]&lt;ref&gt;{{Citation |title=Barbie in 'A Christmas Carol' (Video 2008) - IMDb |url=http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1314715/characters/nm0792198 |access-date=2022-07-23}}&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite web |title=Barbie in A Christmas Carol |url=https://www.behindthevoiceactors.com/movies/Barbie-in-A-Christmas-Carol/ |access-date=2022-07-23 |website=Behind The Voice Actors |language=en-US}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> *Eden Starling - [[Morwenna Banks]]<br /> **Eden Starling (singing) - Melissa Lyons<br /> **young Eden - Prudence Edwards<br /> **young Eden (singing) - Leanne Araya<br /> *Nikki/Catherine/Young Catherine - Kandyse McLure<br /> **Catherine (singing) - Shauntia Fleming<br /> *Aunt Marie - [[Pam Hyatt]]<br /> *Freddy - Luke Smith<br /> **Freddy (Singing) - Anthony Fett<br /> *Spirit Of Christmas Past/Seamstress/Baby - [[Tabitha St. Germain]]<br /> **Spirit Of Christmas Past (singing) - Leanne Araya<br /> *Spirit Of Christmas Present/Mrs Dorrit/Chuzzlewitt - [[Kathleen Barr]]<br /> **Spirit Of Christmas Present (Singing) - Lisa Roth<br /> *Spirit Of Christmas Future - [[Gwynyth Walsh]]<br /> **Spirit Of Christmas Future (Singing) - Kelly Bixby<br /> *Kelly/Tammy - Amelia Henderson<br /> *Tammy (Singing) - Michael Ann Angone<br /> *Maurice/Orphanage Head - Fabrice Grower<br /> **Maurice (Singing) - Tim Fett<br /> *Ann/Nan - [[Shannon Chan-Kent]]<br /> **Ann/Nan (Singing) - Leanne Araya<br /> *Mrs. Beadnell - Melissa Llyod<br /> *Jacob - Morgan Roff<br /> *Hypnotist/Boz - [[Terry Klassen]]<br /> *Singing Voices - Go Children's Leanne Araya<br /> }}<br /> <br /> == Promotion ==<br /> To promote the film, an exclusive interview for Amazon.com featuring Barbie (voiced by Kelly Sheridan) was released, called &quot;Barbie Talks About Her Holiday Movie&quot;.&lt;ref&gt;{{Citation |title=Barbie Talks About Her Holiday Movie Interview With Barbie |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NHg5HjZ9LR4 |language=en |access-date=2022-07-23}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> ==DVD Sales==<br /> The film was released on November 4, 2008 and grossed $6,626,008 in the U.S. DVD market.&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite web |title=Barbie in a Christmas Carol (2008) - Financial Information |url=https://www.the-numbers.com/movie/Barbie-in-a-Christmas-Carol |access-date=2022-07-23 |website=The Numbers}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Adaptation==<br /> Based on the book ''[[A Christmas Carol]]'' by [[Charles Dickens]], the film was adapted into a story book written by Mary Man-Kong and published by [[Golden Books]] (a division of [[Random House]]).&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite book |last=Man-Kong |first=Mary |url=https://books.google.com/books/about/Barbie_in_a_Christmas_Carol.html?id=1wveGN106XoC |title=Barbie in a Christmas Carol |date=2008 |publisher=GOLDEN BOOKS Publishing Company Incorporated |isbn=978-0-375-84619-9 |language=en}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> == See also ==<br /> <br /> * [[Barbie (media franchise)]]<br /> * [[Barbie in the Nutcracker]]<br /> * [[Mickey's Christmas Carol]]<br /> * [[A Christmas Carol (2009 film)]]<br /> <br /> ==References==<br /> &lt;references /&gt;<br /> <br /> ==External links==<br /> * {{official|http://www.barbie.com/christmas|Barbie in a Christmas Carol}}<br /> * {{imdb title|id=1314715|title=Barbie in a Christmas Carol}}<br /> * {{Amg movie|455387|Barbie in a Christmas Carol}}<br /> * [http://www.randomhouse.com/catalog/display.pperl/9780375846199.html Random House page]<br /> * [http://www.randomhouse.com/golden/catalog/display.pperl?isbn=9780375846199 Golden Book page]<br /> <br /> {{A Christmas Carol}}<br /> {{Barbie movies}}<br /> <br /> {{DEFAULTSORT:Barbie In A Christmas Carol}}<br /> [[Category:2008 films]]<br /> [[Category:Animated films]]<br /> [[Category:Barbie films]]<br /> [[Category:Computer animation]]</div> Lockejava https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Barbie_and_the_Magic_of_Pegasus&diff=1100007023 Barbie and the Magic of Pegasus 2022-07-23T19:14:27Z <p>Lockejava: </p> <hr /> <div>{{Infobox film<br /> | name = Barbie and the Magic of Pegasus<br /> | image = Barbie and the Magic of Pegasus cover.jpg<br /> | image_size = <br /> | caption = DVD cover art<br /> | director = Greg Richardson<br /> | producer = Luke Carroll&lt;br /&gt;Jesyca C.

Princess Annika discovers adventure when she is befriended by Brietta - a magnificent winged horse - that flies her to the beautiful Cloud Kingdom. Annika has only three days to break the spell of Wenlock, an evil wizard who has turned her family to stone.<br /> <br /> On her quest to defeat Wenlock, Annika meets new friends and together they travel to forbidden forests, skate through icy caverns and fly above the clouds as they attempt to build a magical wand of light.&quot;&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite web |title=Barbie and The Magic of Pegasus |url=https://play.google.com/store/movies/details/Barbie_and_The_Magic_of_Pegasus?id=bq4MZXgJTQ4.P&amp;hl=en_US&amp;gl=US |access-date=2022-07-23 |website=[[Google Play]] |language=en}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Plot==<br /> On her birthday, Princess Annika worries her parents by going outside to ice skate without permission, and bringing home a &quot;possibly dangerous&quot; [[polar bear]] cub named Shiver. As a result, the overprotective King and Queen forbid her from going skating ever again.<br /> <br /> Annoyed, Annika sneaks out to join a skating festival in the village that night. A powerful sorcerer named Wenlock appears, and orders the princess to marry him. The King and Queen arrive and confront Wenlock, but he laughs and cryptically reminds the king and queen of the fate of their &quot;other daughter&quot;. When Annika refuses his proposal, Wenlock [[petrification|petrifies]] the entire village population, including Annika's parents. Annika is rescued by a winged horse named Brietta, but Wenlock warns her she has three days to marry him; otherwise, the spell will become permanent.<br /> <br /> Brietta takes Annika to the Cloud Kingdom, ruled by Queen Rayla. Annika discovers that her parents’ &quot;other daughter&quot; is, in fact, Brietta, who was transformed into a [[pegasus]] by Wenlock when she refused to marry him. This explains why their parents were so protective of Annika once she was born. The Cloud Queen tells Annika that the only thing that can defeat Wenlock is a &quot;Wand of Light&quot;; built from a measure of courage, a ring of love, and a gem of ice lit by hope's eternal flame. Despite Brietta’s reluctance due to past failed attempts, Annika assures her that they can build the wand together.<br /> <br /> Annika, Brietta, and Shiver travel to the Forbidden Forest, where they meet Aidan, a blacksmith. When Shiver falls into a giant's stew pot, Annika uses her hair ribbon to help them escape. The ribbon, Annika's exact height, is the &quot;measure of courage&quot;, and turns into a staff for the Wand of Light. After getting a map from the gem dealer Ferris, the group finds a large cavern filled with ice gems, where Annika and Aidan take one each. Aidan reveals that he ran away from his parents after he lost all of their money gambling. He took an extra gem to bring to his parents, so they would forgive him. Brietta offers her tiara for the ring of love. With all three objects, Aidan smiths the &quot;Wand of Light&quot; and Annika uses it to transform Brietta back into a human.<br /> <br /> On their way back to the Cloud Kingdom, Annika and Brietta are pursued by Wenlock, and Brietta is knocked unconscious in the chase. Enraged, Annika orders the wand to destroy Wenlock, but it doesn't work. With no other options, she gives in and finally agrees to marry him. Wenlock refuses, calling her annoying, just like his former wives, all now cursed to become [[troll]]s. He takes the wand, and buries Annika in an avalanche.<br /> <br /> Aidan helps dig Annika out. After she recuperates, the group sneaks into Wenlock's palace. Annika finds the wand, but it has been damaged and the gem breaks off and falls into the sea. Aidan offers his gem as a replacement; realizing that the wand cannot be used for vengeance, Annika breaks all of Wenlock's spells for the love of her family and her people. Wenlock is stripped of his powers, his ex-wives are restored to their true forms, and the spell on Annika's kingdom is broken. Annika and Brietta are reunited with their parents, while Aidan reconciles with his father. In the Cloud Kingdom, Annika and Aidan skate together, while the Cloud Queen lifts the wand into the sky to become a star.<br /> <br /> ==Characters==<br /> * '''[[Barbie]] as Princess Annika''' - A strong-headed princess who loves ice skating.

This is to teach Stacie the power of friendship.<br /> <br /> Liana and Alexa are two friends who live in a cottage, where they grow and sell flowers for a living. They both share the same love for music. One day, they find two heart-shaped stones and make them into necklaces to symbolize their friendship. That evening, a storm rolls in, destroying their garden. The next day, Liana offers her food to a poor, old woman who gives them a mirror in exchange. Later, the two hear a voice from the mirror and find a girl inside it named Melody. The trio bond over music and Melody teaches them a song of her own, but are soon attacked by a dragon named Slyder. They manage to escape him, but their cottage catches fire and burns down.<br /> <br /> Melody explains that she was once the apprentice of the three [[Muses]] who lived in the Diamond Castle. One of the Muses, Lydia, turned evil and planned to take the Diamond castle for herself. After hiding the castle and entrusting Melody with its key, the other Muses were turned into stone by Lydia, and Melody sealed herself in the mirror to hide. Melody tells Liana and Alexa that Lydia can be defeated if they play the Muses' instruments. Liana insists on helping Melody and Alexa reluctantly agrees. On their journey, Liana and Alexa adopt two puppies, naming them Sparkles and Lily. At the village, Liana and Alexa meet twins, Ian and Jeremy. The girls are confronted by Lydia who orders them to hand over Melody. When they refuse, Lydia attempts to hypnotize them with her [[Aulos|flute]] but they are shielded by the stones on their necklaces (revealed to be from the Diamond Castle). The girls escape with the help of Ian and Jeremy who join them on their journey but are separated when Liana and Alexa are carried off by a magic bridge.<br /> <br /> After running out of provisions, Alexa begins to lose heart. They arrive at a nearby mansion and are greeted by its gracious hosts who, hypnotized by Lydia, tell them that they are the mansion's prophesied owners. Taken in by its luxuries, Alexa suggests abandoning their quest and living in the mansion, but Liana insists on helping Melody, driving them apart. Liana and Melody leave and Alexa angrily takes off her necklace, whereupon she is abducted and hypnotized by Lydia. Liana is captured by Slyder and her hands are tied up by ropes. Alexa is ordered to leap off a ledge if Melody does not give her the castle's location. Melody agrees, to save Liana and Alexa, but Slyder unties Liana and knocks them off the ledge anyway. Liana manages to hang on to the ledge and Alexa. Liana returns Alexa's necklace and breaks Lydia's spell.<br /> <br /> After making amends, Liana and Alexa arrive at the Diamond Castle's location. While Slyder is distracted by the twins, Lydia creates a whirlpool and orders them to walk in and drown, but Liana manages to grab her flute. Lydia demands its return, threatening to break the mirror, but Melody shatters the mirror from inside to stop her. The mirror is thrown into the whirlpool but is saved by Sparkles and Lily. When Lydia’s flute drops in the water, she wades in to get it, but the flute, waterlogged, backfires and Lydia seemingly disappears.<br /> <br /> Thinking the Diamond Castle can bring Melody back, the girls realize that Melody’s song is the key. They sing together and the Diamond Castle reappears. Stepping inside, Liana and Alexa are magically given new dresses and Melody is freed from the mirror. The girls enter the music room but Lydia returns with Slyder. The three of them play the Muses’ instruments and sing together, overpowering Lydia and turning her and Slyder to stone. The other Muses are freed and Lydia's spells are finally undone.<br /> <br /> Liana and Alexa are then crowned princesses of music and Melody finally becomes a Muse.

Princess Annika discovers adventure when she is befriended by Brietta - a magnificent winged horse - that flies her to the beautiful Cloud Kingdom. Annika has only three days to break the spell of Wenlock, an evil wizard who has turned her family to stone.<br /> <br /> On her quest to defeat Wenlock, Annika meets new friends and together they travel to forbidden forests, skate through icy caverns and fly above the clouds as they attempt to build a magical wand of light.&quot;&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite web |title=Barbie and The Magic of Pegasus |url=https://play.google.com/store/movies/details/Barbie_and_The_Magic_of_Pegasus?id=bq4MZXgJTQ4.P&amp;hl=en_US&amp;gl=US |access-date=2022-07-23 |website=[[Google Play]] |language=en}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Plot==<br /> On her birthday, Princess Annika worries her parents by going outside to ice skate without permission, and bringing home a &quot;possibly dangerous&quot; [[polar bear]] cub named Shiver. As a result, the overprotective King and Queen forbid her from going skating ever again.<br /> <br /> Annoyed, Annika sneaks out to join a skating festival in the village that night. A powerful sorcerer named Wenlock appears, and orders the princess to marry him. The King and Queen arrive and confront Wenlock, but he laughs and cryptically reminds the king and queen of the fate of their &quot;other daughter&quot;. When Annika refuses his proposal, Wenlock [[petrification|petrifies]] the entire village population, including Annika's parents. Annika is rescued by a winged horse named Brietta, but Wenlock warns her she has three days to marry him; otherwise, the spell will become permanent.<br /> <br /> Brietta takes Annika to the Cloud Kingdom, ruled by Queen Rayla. Annika discovers that her parents’ &quot;other daughter&quot; is, in fact, Brietta, who was transformed into a [[pegasus]] by Wenlock when she refused to marry him. This explains why their parents were so protective of Annika once she was born. The Cloud Queen tells Annika that the only thing that can defeat Wenlock is a &quot;Wand of Light&quot;; built from a measure of courage, a ring of love, and a gem of ice lit by hope's eternal flame. Despite Brietta’s reluctance due to past failed attempts, Annika assures her that they can build the wand together.<br /> <br /> Annika, Brietta, and Shiver travel to the Forbidden Forest, where they meet Aidan, a blacksmith. When Shiver falls into a giant's stew pot, Annika uses her hair ribbon to help them escape. The ribbon, Annika's exact height, is the &quot;measure of courage&quot;, and turns into a staff for the Wand of Light. After getting a map from the gem dealer Ferris, the group finds a large cavern filled with ice gems, where Annika and Aidan take one each. Aidan reveals that he ran away from his parents after he lost all of their money gambling. He took an extra gem to bring to his parents, so they would forgive him. Brietta offers her tiara for the ring of love. With all three objects, Aidan smiths the &quot;Wand of Light&quot; and Annika uses it to transform Brietta back into a human.<br /> <br /> On their way back to the Cloud Kingdom, Annika and Brietta are pursued by Wenlock, and Brietta is knocked unconscious in the chase. Enraged, Annika orders the wand to destroy Wenlock, but it doesn't work. With no other options, she gives in and finally agrees to marry him. Wenlock refuses, calling her annoying, just like his former wives, all now cursed to become [[troll]]s. He takes the wand, and buries Annika in an avalanche.<br /> <br /> Aidan helps dig Annika out. After she recuperates, the group sneaks into Wenlock's palace. Annika finds the wand, but it has been damaged and the gem breaks off and falls into the sea. Aidan offers his gem as a replacement; realizing that the wand cannot be used for vengeance, Annika breaks all of Wenlock's spells for the love of her family and her people. Wenlock is stripped of his powers, his ex-wives are restored to their true forms, and the spell on Annika's kingdom is broken. Annika and Brietta are reunited with their parents, while Aidan reconciles with his father. In the Cloud Kingdom, Annika and Aidan skate together, while the Cloud Queen lifts the wand into the sky to become a star.<br /> <br /> ==Characters==<br /> * '''[[Barbie]] as Princess Annika''' - A strong-headed princess who loves ice skating.

Unlike all other fairies, Elina does not have wings, which she is often ridiculed for. Elina and her friend Dandelion learn that one of Fairytopia’s guardians, Topaz, has supposedly been kidnapped. Elina returns to her flower home, Peony, in disbelief.<br /> <br /> In truth, Topaz really has been kidnapped by Laverna, evil twin sister of Fairytopia's benevolent ruler, the Enchantress. Laverna reveals that she incapacitated her sister with poison and plans to capture all seven of Fairytopia’s guardians. Meanwhile, Laverna’s minions will spread her mist-like formula all over Fairytopia, which will weaken all winged creatures. With no other options, the denizens of Fairytopia will turn to Laverna for a cure and crown her queen as a result.<br /> <br /> In the morning, Elina and Bibble awaken to see that Peony as well as all the other fairy homes in the meadow are sick from Laverna's formula. Elina, Dandelion, and Bibble decide to seek help from closest guardian, Azura. Upon entering a forest, Dandelion breathes some of Laverna's formula and is forced to return home when she becomes unable to fly.<br /> <br /> After being turned away when they ask to see Azura, Elina and Bibble sneak to Azura's house, where she is discovered by Azura herself. Seeing a rainbow in Elina's eye, Azura invites them inside. She explains that the rainbow in Elina's eyes means she's destined for great things, which Elina, who does not believe in herself, disagrees with. Azura tells her that all of Fairytopia is in trouble because of Laverna and in the morning she will leave to speak to a [[dryad]] named Dahlia, a former follower of Laverna; she then asks Elina to take care of her magic necklace.<br /> <br /> In the morning, as Azura is about to leave, she is kidnapped by a Fungus, one of Laverna's henchmen. Elina wakes up and is accused of being responsible for Azura's disappearance, but is rescued by Hue, a giant butterfly. In Laverna's lair, the Fungi arrive with Azura, but Laverna is angered when she finds her necklace missing. The Fungi tell Laverna that a wingless fairy had it. Realizing a wingless fairy would be unaffected by her formula, Laverna orders the Fungi to find Elina.<br /> <br /> Hue and Elina are pursued by Laverna's firebirds. They manage to evade them when [[merman]] Prince Nalu gives them seaweed that allows them to breathe underwater. When the group finally reach Dahlia’s home, she is reluctant to help as the other guardians were mistrustful of her but Elina convinces her to do the right thing. Dahlia tells Elina that Laverna found a way to suck the powers from the fairy guardians' necklaces and transfer them to herself, stating that the &quot;union point&quot; would be its weakness.<br /> <br /> The group arrives at Laverna's lair, planning to go in and find the union point, but Elina insists on going by herself as she has Azura's necklace. While her friends cause a distraction, Elina makes it inside. Elina finds the guardians and her friends, captured by the Fungi. Laverna agrees to let them go if Elina returns Azura's necklace, which she refuses, whereupon Laverna notices the rainbow in her eye. Laverna promises that she can give Elina wings in exchange for returning Azura's necklace. Hypnotized, Elina walks toward Azura with the necklace. The union point—a crystal embedded in Laverna's throne—begins to absorb the power from the guardians' necklaces. Just as the Elina is about to return the necklace, Azura's words reach her and she snaps out of her trance. Rejecting Laverna's offer, Elina hurls the necklace at the union point, shattering it. The guardians' powers overwhelm Laverna and she vanishes.<br /> <br /> Back in the Magic Meadow, the fairies and the flowers are cured. Elina and her friends are visited by the recovered Enchantress. She thanks Elina and her friends for saving everyone and rewards her with her own magic necklace. The necklace magically bestows Elina with her own pair of wings. Overjoyed, Elina and her friends go flying together.<br /> <br /> ==Voice cast==<br /> {{Cast listing|<br /> * [[Kelly Sheridan]] as Elina &amp; Mermaid #2&lt;ref&gt;{{Citation |title=Barbie: Fairytopia (Video 2005) - IMDb |url=http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0450982/characters/nm0792198 |access-date=2022-07-22}}&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite web |title=Barbie: Fairytopia |url=https://www.behindthevoiceactors.com/movies/Barbie-Fairytopia/ |access-date=2022-07-22 |website=Behind The Voice Actors |language=en-US}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> * [[Lee Tockar]] as Bibble<br /> * [[Tabitha St. Germain]] as Dandelion, Topaz &amp; Mermaid #1<br /> * [[Kathleen Barr]] as Laverna, Pixie #2 &amp; Pixie #4<br /> * [[Venus Terzo]] as Azura<br /> * [[Chiara Zanni]] as Dahlia &amp; Pixie #3<br /> * Mark Oliver as Hue<br /> * [[Alessandro Juliani]] as Prince Kai (Nalu)<br /> * [[Michael Dobson (actor)|Michael Dobson]] as Quill &amp; Amethyst<br /> * [[Scott McNeil]] as Ruby<br /> * [[Brian Drummond]] as Larkspur<br /> * [[Britt McKillip]] as Pixie #1<br /> * [[Nancy Sorel]] as Pixie #5 &amp; Enchantress<br /> }}<br /> <br /> ==Sequels and spin-offs==<br /> <br /> === ''Barbie Fairytopia: Mermaidia'' (2006) ===<br /> ''Barbie Fairytopia: Mermaidia,'' or simply ''Barbie: Mermaidia'', is the first sequel to ''Barbie: Fairytopia'' and the 7th Barbie film.&lt;ref&gt;{{Citation |last=Lau |first=William |title=Barbie Fairytopia: Mermaidia |date=2006-03-14 |url=https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0775425/ |type=Animation, Adventure, Family |publisher=Mainframe Entertainment, Mattel |access-date=2022-07-22 |last2=Martishius |first2=Walter P.}}&lt;/ref&gt; It premiered on Nickelodeon on March 5, 2006 and was later released to VHS and DVD on March 14, 2006.&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite web |title=List of movies and specials aired on Nickelodeon |url=https://www.nickandmore.com/kids-tv-history/list-of-movies-and-specials-aired-on-nickelodeon/ |access-date=26 March 2022 |website=Nickandmore! |language=en-US}}&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite web |date=2015-03-08 |title=Barbie Fairytopia: Mermaidia |url=https://www.uphe.com/movies/barbie-fairytopia-mermaidia |access-date=2022-05-24 |website=[[Universal Pictures Home Entertainment]] |language=en-us}}&lt;/ref&gt; Lau and Martishius reprised their roles as directors.

Barbie has been an important part of the toy [[fashion]] doll market for over six decades, and has been the subject of numerous controversies and lawsuits, often involving parodies of the doll and her lifestyle. Mattel has sold over a billion Barbie dolls, making it the company's largest and most profitable line.&lt;ref name=&quot;wsj.com&quot;/&gt;<br /> <br /> The brand has expanded into a [[media franchise]] since the late 1980s, including [[Barbie (media franchise)|a long-running media/multimedia franchise]] of [[computer animation|computer-animated films]] that began in 2001.

At the time, most children's toy dolls were representations of infants. Realizing that there could be a gap in the market, Handler suggested the idea of an adult-bodied doll to her husband [[Elliot Handler|Elliot]], a co-founder of the [[Mattel]] toy company. He was unenthusiastic about the idea, as were Mattel's directors.&lt;ref&gt;Mary G. Lord, ''Forever Barbie: The unauthorized biography of a real doll'' ([[Bloomsbury Publishing]] [[USA]], 2004).&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> During a trip to Europe in 1956 with her children Barbara and Kenneth, Ruth Handler came across a German toy doll called [[Bild Lilli doll|Bild Lilli]].&lt;ref&gt;In an interview with Mary G. Lord, the author of ''Forever Barbie'', Ruth Handler said that she saw the doll in [[Lucerne, Switzerland]]. However, the book points out that on other occasions Handler said that she saw the doll in [[Zurich]] or [[Vienna]].&lt;/ref&gt; The adult-figured doll was exactly what Handler had in mind, so she purchased three of them. She gave one to her daughter and took the others back to Mattel. The Lilli doll was based on a popular character appearing in a [[comic strip]] drawn by Reinhard Beuthin for the newspaper ''[[Bild]]''. Lilli was a blonde bombshell, a working girl who knew what she wanted and was not above using men to get it. The Lilli doll was first sold in Germany in 1955, and although it was initially sold to adults, it became popular with children who enjoyed dressing her up in outfits that were available separately.&lt;ref&gt;{{cite web|title=Meet Lilli, the High-end German Call Girl Who Became America's Iconic Barbie Doll|url=http://www.messynessychic.com/2016/01/29/meet-lilli-the-high-end-german-call-girl-who-became-americas-iconic-barbie-doll/|website=Messy Nessy|access-date=10 February 2018|date=January 29, 2016}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> Upon her return to the United States, Handler redesigned the doll (with help from local inventor-designer [[Jack Ryan (designer)|Jack Ryan]]) and the doll was given a new name, ''Barbie'', after Handler's daughter Barbara. The doll made its debut at the [[American International Toy Fair]] in [[New York City]] on March 9, 1959.&lt;ref&gt;{{cite web | url=http://jwa.org/thisweek/mar/09/1959/ruth-mosko-handler | title=Ruth Mosko Handler unveils Barbie Doll | publisher=[[Jewish Women's Archive]] | access-date=8 March 2014}}&lt;/ref&gt; This date is also used as Barbie's official birthday.<br /> <br /> The first Barbie doll wore a black-and-white zebra striped swimsuit and signature topknot [[ponytail]], and was available as either a blonde or brunette. The doll was marketed as a &quot;Teen-age Fashion Model&quot;, with her clothes created by Mattel fashion designer Charlotte Johnson. The first Barbie dolls were manufactured in Japan, with their clothes hand-stitched by Japanese homeworkers. Around 350,000 Barbie dolls were sold during the first year of production.&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite web|title=Barbie|url=https://www.firstversions.com/2014/12/barbie.html|access-date=2021-06-02|website=FirstVersions.com}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> [[Louis Marx and Company]] sued Mattel in March 1961. After licensing Lilli, they claimed that Mattel had &quot;infringed on Greiner &amp; Hausser's patent for Bild-Lilli's hip joint&quot;, and also claimed that Barbie was &quot;a direct take-off and copy&quot; of Bild-Lilli. The company additionally claimed that Mattel &quot;falsely and misleadingly represented itself as having originated the design&quot;. Mattel counter-claimed and the case was settled out of court in 1963. In 1964, Mattel bought Greiner &amp; Hausser's copyright and patent rights for the Bild-Lilli doll for $21,600.&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite book|title = Toy monster: the big, bad world of Mattel|last = Oppenheimer|first = Jerry|publisher = Wiley|year = 2009|isbn = 978-0071402118|location = Hoboken, N.J.|pages = 33–34}}&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;ref&gt;{{cite news | url=https://articles.latimes.com/2003/dec/23/business/fi-barbie23| title=Mattel Wins Ruling in Barbie Dispute | work=[[Los Angeles Times]] | access-date=29 April 2015}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> Ruth Handler believed that it was important for Barbie to have an adult appearance, and early [[market research]] showed that some parents were unhappy about the doll's chest, which had distinct breasts. Barbie's appearance has been changed many times, most notably in 1971 when the doll's eyes were adjusted to look forwards rather than having the demure sideways glance of the original model. This would be the last adjustment Ruth would make to her own creation as, three years later, she and her husband Elliot were removed from their posts at Mattel after an investigation found them guilty of issuing false and misleading financial reports.&lt;ref name=&quot;oust&quot;&gt;{{cite web|title=Mattel, Inc.

''[[Hispanic (magazine)|Hispanic]]'' magazine reports that:<br /> {{blockquote|[O]ne of the most dramatic developments in Barbie's history came when she embraced multi-culturalism and was released in a wide variety of native costumes, hair colors and skin tones to more closely resemble the girls who idolized her.

She also has had close Hispanic friends, such as Teresa.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;A Barbie for Everyone&quot; ''[[Hispanic (magazine)|Hispanic]]'' (February–March 2009), Vol. 22, Issue 1&lt;/ref&gt;}} More recently, Professor Emilie Rose Aguilo-Perez has argued that over time, Mattel shifted from ambiguous Hispanic presentations in their dolls to one that is more assertive in its &quot;Latinx&quot; marketing and product labeling.&lt;ref&gt;{{cite journal |last1=Perez |first1=Emilie Rose Aguilo |title=Commodifying Culture: Mattel's and Disney's Marketing Approaches to &quot;Latinx&quot; Toys and Media |journal=The Marketing of Children's Toys |date=2021 |pages=143–163 |doi=10.1007/978-3-030-62881-9_8 |isbn=978-3-030-62880-2 |s2cid=234253829 |url=https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-030-62881-9_8}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> &quot;Colored [[Francie (Barbie)|Francie]]&quot; made her debut in 1967, and she is sometimes described as the first [[African Americans|African-American]] Barbie doll.

In 1990, Mattel created a focus group with African-American children and parents, early childhood specialists, and clinical psychologist, Darlene Powell Hudson. Instead of using the same molds for the Caucasian Barbies, new ones were created. In addition, facial features, skin tones, hair texture, and names were all altered. The body shapes looked different, but the proportions were the same to ensure clothing and accessories were interchangeable.&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite journal|last=Ducille|first=Ann|date=1994|title=Dyes and Dolls: Multicultural Barbie and the merchandising of difference|journal= Differences: A Journal of Feminist Cultural Studies |volume=6|pages=46}}&lt;/ref&gt; In September 2009, Mattel introduced the [[List of Barbie's friends and family#S.I.S./So In Style characters|So In Style]] range, which was intended to create a more realistic depiction of African-American people than previous dolls.&lt;ref&gt;{{cite news |url=http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,562706,00.html |title=Mattel introduces black Barbies, to mixed reviews |publisher=[[Fox News]] |date=October 9, 2009 |access-date=October 18, 2009 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20091011234536/http://www.foxnews.com/story/0%2C2933%2C562706%2C00.html |archive-date=October 11, 2009 |url-status=dead |df=mdy-all }}&lt;/ref&gt; In 2016, Mattel expanded this line to include seven skin tones, twenty-two eye colors, and twenty-four hairstyles.

''Oreo Fun Barbie'' was marketed as someone with whom young girls could play after class and share &quot;America's favorite cookie&quot;. As had become the custom, Mattel manufactured both a [[White people|white]] and a [[Black people|black]] version. Critics argued that in the African American community, ''Oreo'' is a derogatory term meaning that the person is &quot;black on the outside and white on the inside&quot;, like the chocolate sandwich cookie itself. The doll was unsuccessful and Mattel recalled the unsold stock, making it sought after by collectors.&lt;ref&gt;[http://www.authentichistory.com/diversity/african/images/2001_Oreo_Barbie.html] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071012041355/http://www.authentichistory.com/diversity/african/images/2001_Oreo_Barbie.html|date=October 12, 2007}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> In May 1997, Mattel introduced ''Share a Smile Becky'', a doll in a pink [[wheelchair]].

One of these 270 phrases was &quot;Math class is tough!&quot;, which led to criticism from the [[American Association of University Women]]; about 1.5% of all the dolls sold said the phrase. In October 1992, Mattel announced that ''Teen Talk Barbie'' would no longer say &quot;Math class is tough!&quot;, and offered a swap to anyone who owned a doll that did.&lt;ref&gt;{{cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/1992/10/21/business/company-news-mattel-says-it-erred-teen-talk-barbie-turns-silent-on-math.html?scp=1|title=Company News: Mattel Says It Erred; Teen Talk Barbie Turns Silent on Math|date=October 21, 1992|work=[[The New York Times]]|access-date=June 15, 2010}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> In 2002, Mattel introduced a line of pregnant [[Midge (Barbie)|Midge]] (and baby) dolls, but this ''Happy Family'' line was quickly pulled from the market due to complaints that she promoted teen pregnancy, though by that time, Barbie's friend [[Midge (Barbie)|Midge]] was supposed to be a married adult.&lt;ref&gt;{{cite web | title=Pregnant doll pulled from Wal-Mart after customers complain |date=24 Dec 2002 |website=[[USA Today]] |url=https://usatoday30.usatoday.com/money/industries/retail/2002-12-24-pregnant-doll_x.htm}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> In September 2003, the Middle Eastern country of [[Saudi Arabia]] outlawed the sale of Barbie dolls and franchises, stating that they did not conform to the ideals of [[Islam]].

In the films, [[Barbie]] is featured as a [[virtual actor|virtual actress]] playing the main character, and often frame her as a modern girl telling the story to one of her sisters or a younger friend – often as a parable to present affairs. Scholars examining how the Barbie films differ from other princess narratives have concluded that Mattel intentionally attempted to remediate its brand based on [[Feminist theory|feminist]] criticisms through storytelling in the films.&lt;ref name=&quot;:0&quot; /&gt;&lt;ref&gt;Still, Julie, &quot;Feminist Barbie: Mattel's Remakes of Classic Tales&quot;, MP: A Feminist Journal Online.

A primary benefit of this strategy revolved around marketing, as Mattel could sell dolls specific to each film separately from the optical disc sales and merchandise related to props, costumes, and sets from the films.&lt;ref name=&quot;:2&quot; /&gt; Tim Kilpin, the senior vice-president for girls marketing at Mattel, stated that &quot;What you see now are several different Barbie worlds anchored by content and storytelling.

However, articles covering audiovisual media and their associated soundtracks also having that name included in their titles are an adequate reason for this move, also citing the progress of the ''[[High School Musical (franchise)|High School Musical]]'', ''[[The Cheetah Girls (franchise)|The Cheetah Girls]]'', ''[[Toy Story (franchise)|Toy Story]]'' and ''[[Spy Kids]]'' articles as examples. [[User:Intrisit|Intrisit]] ([[User talk:Intrisit|talk]]) 15:23, 15 July 2022 (UTC)<br /> <br /> When I saw the new article's name, I thought that it talked about the Barbie toy franchise, since that's what comes to mind when people hear the Barbie franchise. I was wondering if the page should be named differently, like Barbie (film franchise) or reverted back to Barbie (film series). Even though this article covers the related media that aren't technically part of the film series, it's still the main focus, and makes the topic clearer upfront. Either way, I think &quot;film&quot; should be in the title to avoid confusion with the toy franchise. [[User:Lockejava|Lockejava]] ([[User talk:Lockejava|talk]]) 21:48, 12 July 2022 (UTC)<br /> <br /> :{{ping|Lockejava}} First of all, I've corrected some incorrect grammar in your opinion question. (&lt;small&gt;No need to thank me — that's why I'm on Wikipedia in the first place!&lt;/small&gt;) And now, as I already stated to you [[user talk:Lockejava|on your talk page]] and the move request box above this text, this current page move was rushed, and that it should be reverted back to ''Barbie (franchise)''. Consider that should there be an article on just the films, where would unrelated articles like ''[[Barbie: Life in the Dreamhouse]]'', ''[[Barbie Dreamtopia]]'', ''[[Barbie Dreamhouse Adventures]]'' and ''[[Barbie: It Takes Two]]'' fit into/go to? Have a look at ''[[High School Musical (franchise)]]'', ''[[The Cheetah Girls (franchise)]]'' and ''[[Toy Story (franchise)]]'', all of which started out as film series articles like this one, but got expanded into web series, TV shows, theatricals and soundtrack albums. Even [[Monster High]], made from the same company as Barbie, is noted for its toys, but also there is a media franchise consisting of [[Monster High (web series)|a web series]], [[list of Monster High films|about 17 films]], about 15 soundtrack albums and an upcoming TV series.<br /> <br /> :Secondly, if you're talking about/looking for the &quot;Barbie toy franchise&quot; here on Wikipedia, see ''[[List of Barbie's friends and family]]'', which shows you the list of the related components — toys, dolls and accessories — and the perceived real-life friends of Barbie with a few trivia about each of them, which I simply term it as the ''Barbie fictional and non-fictional universes''. That article, I must admit though, lacks sufficient inclusion and adequate sourcing and needs a major overhaul/revamp anyway. The main article, ''[[Barbie]]'', already talks about the history and expansion of that one doll/toy into the toy franchise it is now. If that alone isn't enough for you, have a look at [[template:barbie|its corresponding template]].<br /> <br /> :Last but not the least, to avoid confusion, I've included clear and precise introductory notes about this confusion on this article and at ''Barbie''. Reply if still unsatisfied!! Thanks for your attention!!

As mentioned by Paine Ellsworth &quot;it seems better to continue from this point with more discussion in a new thread about the highest and best title for this article.&quot; In my opinion, the title of Barbie (franchise) is a little too confusing/vague, mainly because the main Barbie franchise is the toy line, while the film/media franchise came later and isn't the primary franchise. I'm OK with &quot;Barbie (film franchise)&quot; and &quot;Barbie (film series)&quot; because the related media (like the TV series) can be listed under a &quot;Related media&quot; section. (They are connected after all, especially with Dreamhouse Adventures being connected to the recent movies.) Either way, I just think &quot;film&quot; or media or something should stay in the name to clear up confusion.

Barbie has been an important part of the toy [[fashion]] doll market for over six decades, and has been the subject of numerous controversies and lawsuits, often involving parodies of the doll and her lifestyle. Mattel has sold over a billion Barbie dolls, making it the company's largest and most profitable line.&lt;ref name=&quot;wsj.com&quot;/&gt;<br /> <br /> The brand has expanded into a [[media franchise]] since the late 1980s, including [[barbie (franchise)|a long-running media/multimedia franchise]] of [[computer animation|computer-animated films]] that began in 2001.

At the time, most children's toy dolls were representations of infants. Realizing that there could be a gap in the market, Handler suggested the idea of an adult-bodied doll to her husband [[Elliot Handler|Elliot]], a co-founder of the [[Mattel]] toy company. He was unenthusiastic about the idea, as were Mattel's directors.&lt;ref&gt;Mary G. Lord, ''Forever Barbie: The unauthorized biography of a real doll'' ([[Bloomsbury Publishing]] [[USA]], 2004).&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> During a trip to Europe in 1956 with her children Barbara and Kenneth, Ruth Handler came across a German toy doll called [[Bild Lilli doll|Bild Lilli]].&lt;ref&gt;In an interview with Mary G. Lord, the author of ''Forever Barbie'', Ruth Handler said that she saw the doll in [[Lucerne, Switzerland]]. However, the book points out that on other occasions Handler said that she saw the doll in [[Zurich]] or [[Vienna]].&lt;/ref&gt; The adult-figured doll was exactly what Handler had in mind, so she purchased three of them. She gave one to her daughter and took the others back to Mattel. The Lilli doll was based on a popular character appearing in a [[comic strip]] drawn by Reinhard Beuthin for the newspaper ''[[Bild]]''. Lilli was a blonde bombshell, a working girl who knew what she wanted and was not above using men to get it. The Lilli doll was first sold in Germany in 1955, and although it was initially sold to adults, it became popular with children who enjoyed dressing her up in outfits that were available separately.&lt;ref&gt;{{cite web|title=Meet Lilli, the High-end German Call Girl Who Became America's Iconic Barbie Doll|url=http://www.messynessychic.com/2016/01/29/meet-lilli-the-high-end-german-call-girl-who-became-americas-iconic-barbie-doll/|website=Messy Nessy|access-date=10 February 2018|date=January 29, 2016}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> Upon her return to the United States, Handler redesigned the doll (with help from local inventor-designer [[Jack Ryan (designer)|Jack Ryan]]) and the doll was given a new name, ''Barbie'', after Handler's daughter Barbara.

Around 350,000 Barbie dolls were sold during the first year of production.&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite web|title=Barbie|url=https://www.firstversions.com/2014/12/barbie.html|access-date=2021-06-02|website=FirstVersions.com}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> [[Louis Marx and Company]] sued Mattel in March 1961. After licensing Lilli, they claimed that Mattel had &quot;infringed on Greiner &amp; Hausser's patent for Bild-Lilli's hip joint&quot;, and also claimed that Barbie was &quot;a direct take-off and copy&quot; of Bild-Lilli. The company additionally claimed that Mattel &quot;falsely and misleadingly represented itself as having originated the design&quot;. Mattel counter-claimed and the case was settled out of court in 1963. In 1964, Mattel bought Greiner &amp; Hausser's copyright and patent rights for the Bild-Lilli doll for $21,600.&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite book|title = Toy monster: the big, bad world of Mattel|last = Oppenheimer|first = Jerry|publisher = Wiley|year = 2009|isbn = 978-0071402118|location = Hoboken, N.J.|pages = 33–34}}&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;ref&gt;{{cite news | url=https://articles.latimes.com/2003/dec/23/business/fi-barbie23| title=Mattel Wins Ruling in Barbie Dispute | work=[[Los Angeles Times]] | access-date=29 April 2015}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> Ruth Handler believed that it was important for Barbie to have an adult appearance, and early [[market research]] showed that some parents were unhappy about the doll's chest, which had distinct breasts.

This would be the last adjustment Ruth would make to her own creation as, three years later, she and her husband Elliot were removed from their posts at Mattel after an investigation found them guilty of issuing false and misleading financial reports.&lt;ref name=&quot;oust&quot;&gt;{{cite web|title=Mattel, Inc.

One of these 270 phrases was &quot;Math class is tough!&quot;, which led to criticism from the [[American Association of University Women]]; about 1.5% of all the dolls sold said the phrase.

I was wondering if the page should be named something different, like Barbie (film franchise) or named back to Barbie (film series). Even though this page covers the related media that aren't technically part of the film series, it's still the main focus, and makes the topic clearer upfront. Either way, I think &quot;film&quot; should be in the title to avoid confusion with the toy franchise.
