Ahead of the July 21 theatrical debut of the Barbie movie, Variety approached director Greta Gerwig and asked "Is the Barbie movie the start of a franchise?" Gerwig's response was to deflect, probably because there's no official answer to that, despite talks going on in creative circles. The thing is, however, there's already a franchise of Barbie movies.
Though the Margot Robbie-starring, Ryan Gosling-memefying flick will be Barbie's first live action cinematic offering with a full theatrical run, Mattel has been producing animated Barbie films for over two decades. If that sounds like a lot to watch, well, that's because it is. Fortunately for ineterested parties, Popverse has a handy watch guide for diving into the movies. Just be aware: the dive is deep

As of this writing, Mattel has produced 42 animated Barbie films (Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy fans are welcome to speculate on this). That's a long trip to take, dreamcar or no, and you're going to want a roadmap. Let's start off with the most obvious one...How to watch the Barbie movies in release order Since the first film, Barbie in the Nutcracker, went straight-to-video in 2001, Mattel has produced an aveage of about two films per year. If what you're looking for in a Barbie-watchathon is to simply take in absolutely all of that, the simplest way to do it would like likely be to start at the start and end at the end. In that case, you'd be watching in this order:
Well you better think that, because it's my job to figure that out. And that marathon would take, according to the combined runtimes found on IMDb for each animated film, a total of 53 hours and 28 minutes. That's two days and change of anatomically absurd animated anecdotes, with no breaks to eat, use the bathroom, or sleep.
Before going into this, I've got to admit something: our use of the word 'chronology' here is loose. The point of Mattel's animated Barbie films was not, in this writer's opinion, to fit into cohesive canons. However, that didn't stop a couple of them from springing up. Still, there are plenty of them that don't link to the others so let's get them out of the way first.
Out of the 42 Barbie films on this list, 26 of them are total one-shots, not related to the others by plot or setting. There are overlapping themes, sure, and certain characters (like, you know, Barbie), but the movies below can pretty much be enjoyed entirely by themselves.
Set in a world governed by magic, Barbie's Fairytopia stories revolve around her characters, either Elina or Maripose, putting the land to rights after a power-hungry villain befouls it. It's basically Masters of the Universe, but with more glamour and singing. The movies, in order, are:
With three movies and two spinoffs in its ranks, Fairytopia is a decent place to start if you want connectivity in your marathon. And yet, there's something missing in Fairytopia (and most of the standalones) that might leave you a little bummed if you're here because of the upcoming movie: that is, Barbie as herself.
It was the mid-aughts and Mattel wanted a new spin on Barbara Roberts, so they decided to put her in the darkest reality yet: high school. In The Barbie Diaries, the epononymous character has to navigate being a teen, square off against a frenemy, and deal with crushes, all while keeping her head up and pointed toward the woman she wants to be.
As you can probably see by reading the list, this crop of movies didn't stick too close to reality for long. By the second film, Ken has been kidnapped by fairies and taken to a town called Gloss Angeles (I'd like to see Sex and the City pull that off). Around the same time, the Barbie animated films returned to outright fantasy storytelling, with magical mischief set in the sea. Hold your breath for...
The shortest canon on this list also comes right before a major studio change, which we'll get to in a sec. For now though, the Mermaid Tales saga is just two movies, despite mermaids showing up in other Barbie flicks, as with any good media - Supernatural, Once Upon a Time, Shape of Water, etc.
From 2012 to 2017, there's no chronology to speak of in Mattel's cartoon capers. After that, though, the toy company changed their tune altogether, partnering with Netflix, ceasing home video releases, and establishing a canon that, to this day, has not been broken. Prepare yourself, loved ones, for the era of...
If you've ever been scrolling through Netflix on shrooms, you've probably stopped and stared for an hour or two at the art for the Barbie: Dreamhouse Adventures series. If that's the case, you've got something in common with Mattel (it's not the drugs) in that they, too, have chosen to take up residence in the Dreamhouse. From 2017 on, all of their animated movies have streamed (strum?) directly to Netflix and fit firmly in the Dreamhouse canon. Here they are:
Presumably, future missives from the Dreamhouse will also fit into this canon, but with streaming wars going the way they are, who knows what the next animated Barbie movie, if there is one, will look like.
Ok, so we've covered what is in the Barbie animated catalogue, and we've discussed the possible hows of watching them all. It's about time we start talking about where.Where can I stream the Barbie animated movies?As I just mentioned, anything animated in Barbie's world is on Netflix after 2017. Before that, though, the films are not beholden to one streaming service and, unfortunately, you're going to have to pay to view them.
The good news is that Barbie rents for pretty cheap, and on a number of sites. Most of the cartoons are on Amazon, YouTube, or Apple for about $4, with a couple notable exceptions. Barbie: The Princess & the Popstar will run you about $15, but to offset that, Barbie's official YouTube channel plays The Barbie Diaries, Barbie & the Diamond Castle, and Barbie in A Mermaid Tale 2 free for anyone to watch.
With that, we have reached the end of our Barbie movie marathon, having been through dozens of continuities, five uses of the Prince and the Pauper plot (eat your heart out, Mark Twain), and one song by Captain Marvel.
And it's at this point, as the pink oozes out of your eyeballs and drips glitteringly onto the floor, that you may be wondering: just how similar to the animated movies will Barbie's forthcoming feature film be? Specificaly...
It's a great question. While Mattel's animated Barbie movies are, like the dolls, clearly targeted to the 3 to 12-year-old range, the movie this year might be a little bit more adult-oriented. You can read more about Barbie's viewership ratings here. 152ee80cbc
