The Barbie franchise has had a strong presence on the direct to DVD market and YouTube. Starting in the second half of 2017, the franchise would start releasing non-Youtube content onto Netflix, which is what this thread is about. It's about all Barbie projects being released onto Netflix, though talks about YouTube content from the official channel are also welcome. Let's go into it.
It all started with the movie Barbie: Dolphin Magic, which came out September 18, 2017, and the movie line up would go on hiatus for 3 years. This would then be followed up by the TV series Barbie: Dreamhouse Adventures, which ran for 52 episodes from May 3, 2018 to April 12, 2020. This series follows regular Barbie Roberts in Malibu, California as she goes on all sorts of adventures with her family and friends in a relatively realistic world. There's high school, big trips, and all the works.
The movie line would resume with Barbie: Princess Adventure on September 1, 2020 in order to have the subsequent movies take place in the world of Barbie: Dreamhouse Adventures, and it seems like 2 movies a year is the norm now. In 2021, we would see the release of Barbie And Chelsea: The Lost Birthday and Barbie: Big City, Big Dreams. The latter movie is about the regular Barbie Roberts meeting a black girl in New York who has the same name when they're both attending the Handler Performing Arts Academy. After becoming friends, they nickname themselves Malibu and Brooklyn respectively, named after their home towns. The latter movie would be followed up by a 26 episode TV show called Barbie: It Takes Two that came out on April 8, 2022. This series follows Malibu and Brooklyn as they live in New York and try to make it big as music stars with their friend/manager Rafa.
There's currently rumors of two more movies coming later this year, Barbie: Mermaid Power and Barbie: Epic Road Trip, but not much else is known. And that's all I have so far. What do you think of the Barbie projects on Netflix?
