Barbie’s Live-Action Debut Sparks Excitement with a 4-Movie Special DVD Collection

In anticipation of Barbie’s highly anticipated live-action film directed by Greta Gerwig and starring Margot Robbie, a wave of excitement is sweeping moviegoers. Inspired by the beloved Mattel toy brand, Barbie is making her grand entrance onto the big screen. While the film is set to hit theaters this July, fans craving more Barbie adventures will be delighted to know that a special four-film DVD collection is on its way, guaranteed to make them sing, “Come on Barbie, let’s go party!”

The collection, set to release on July 18, includes four captivating films. First up is “Barbie: Big City, Big Dreams,” where Barbie embarks on a thrilling summer program in New York. Next, in “Barbie: Dreamtopia,” our beloved doll ventures into a magical underwater world alongside mermaids. The collection also features “Barbie and Chelsea: The Lost Birthday,” where Barbie aids Chelsea in her quest to find her missing birthday on a family cruise. Last but not least, “Barbie: Princess Adventure” takes us on a journey as Barbie trades places with Princess Amelia. America Young lends her voice to Barbie “Malibu” Roberts, while Amber May voices Barbie “Brooklyn” Roberts in these films. Since Barbie’s debut in 1959, she has graced many direct-to-video releases, catering to children and providing imaginative play experiences. These colorful and adventurous companion pieces complement the toy line and encourage children to create their own magical stories with their Barbie dolls. It’s delightful to see these four films bundled together in this charming pink-filled collection.

But what’s in store for us in the live-action Barbie film? While the movie introduces us to a vibrant Barbie universe populated by numerous Barbies and Kens, our main character, portrayed by Margot Robbie, is going through a personal crisis. Barbie’s once unwavering positivity begins to waver as she faces challenges like falling off her roof, developing flat feet, and entertaining humorous thoughts about mortality, much to the dismay of her fellow Barbies. This leads Barbie on a journey to the real world, including a visit to the actual Mattel offices, in search of her true purpose in life. Of course, she’s accompanied by her loyal boyfriend Ken, played by Ryan Gosling. From the trailers, it’s evident that this Barbie film is a fun, witty, and self-aware take on the Barbie universe, wrapped in a plastic package. While the film is not strictly intended for adults, its edgier humor has captured significant attention, particularly among those who may have had reservations about Barbie. Additionally, the fact that the talented Greta Gerwig, an Oscar-nominated director, is at the helm of this project has further piqued the curiosity of many.
