Agreed. Princess Charm School was the last truly good Barbie movie in my opinion

[@MissMarioMadness]

I have a theory that might actually tie everything together. If we are taking Ted's timeline and applying it to the live action movie, consider that Barbie first makes contact with the real world in that movie. She seems to be one of, if not, the very first Barbie to walk among the humans. Now, at the very end of the movie, she decides to stay in the real world permanently. Putting this at the beginning of Ted's timeline, this implies that the Barbie hivemind may have begun with her when it was introduced to the real world.

[@ClaireLundgren09]

WAIT that's so smart Y'all Harvard is calling

[@sunnflare]

Also considering that in “Barbie” every Barbie is a doll (can’t eat/drink, don’t shower with water, etc) then that means that Life In The Dreamhouse (every character IS a doll) is “Barbieland”. Or, at least, a past version of it. OR a future version of it in which there’s a new “Barbie” (stereotypical) and everyone else develops into gaining their own names and growing settlements/civilizations. Or something. Anyway, Life In the Dreamhouse is pre-Ted’s timeline. BBCU: Before Barbie Cinematic Universe.

I once owned a Kelly. One day I was playing with her on the headboard of my parent’s bed when suddenly she fell. I searched for hours, nay days, for Kelly. I convinced my parents to move their furniture around in search of Kelly that night and went to bed in utter disappointment at the loss. We moved out of that house in 2004 and I asked to look once more as we packed up their room and removed their furniture. Kelly was no where to be found. As an adult I theorize that she fell into a blackhole. Now I wonder, could this blackhole have been a result of Mattel wanting to reclaim their failed creation in an attempt to wipe their mistake from the face of the planet… but they mistakenly forgot to erase her from their first phase of films.

Because drama was more life threatening. I mean, not too medieval, but Alexander Hamilton did die in a duel bc of a literal dispute. If you go farther back than that, I’m sure throwing your life away for the sake of loyalty and legacy was very common back then. Add emotion and adventure to the pot and you got a beefy soup of drama. …I’ve also been very bias to the concept for as long as I can remember, but that’s just me. :)

besides all the other points mentioned by other people- i feel like it's a great way to introduce life-threatening situations to kids and making a drama of it without scaring them. as a kid i'd much rather deal with the idea of a witch poisoning a fairy than my favourite human character being threatened with something realistic ?? idk tbh

The live action Barbie movie actually does fit with the decentralized hivemind theory. "Barbieland" is a Barbie hive. It's a place designed specifically for Barbies to live in. The Kens are a second class hivemind meant to serve the Barbie hivemind. The plot of the movie is about a singular drone escaping from the hivemind and returning to liberate her sisters from the oppressive rule of the hive. Meanwhile the lesser Ken hivemind tries to break free of the Barbies' control and establish themselves as the dominant hive.

Technically- the live action movie just proves the clone theory. It even shows mermaid barbie and astronaut barbie ( which could tie into the star adventure ), and it shows that Barbie Land, is the hive mind. That’s where it all happens.

And the way barbie’s get control in the real world are these movies ( the very ones we are watching ).

The purpose of Barbie was to show girls that they can achieve anything they aspire to in a world where men may be self-centered. Women can become doctors, actors, gymnasts, spies, or princesses. Barbie aimed to inspire young girls to expand their minds and believe in themselves. Additionally, Kelly was discontinued in 2010 and took on the name in 2011, along with other family members. Krissy, Barbie's youngest infant sister, was discontinued in 2003. The twins Tutti (1965 - 1971) and Todd (1965 - 1990) were also part of the family. Ken had a younger brother named Tommy Carson. To summarize, the Roberts' children are, in order: Barbie, Skipper, Tutti, Todd, Stacie, Kelly/Chelsea, and the infant Krissy.
