The Barbie Council celebrates Christmas in September as they take a look at Barbie: A Perfect Christmas. The introduction of Barbie's sisters and a killer soundtrack are certainly great, but one things for sure. Christie Clauson, the owner of the Tannenbaum Inn, cannot be trusted. Something strange is going on here...

The Barbie Council goes back to school as they cover Barbie: Princess Charm School, the 19th film in the ever expanding Barbie cinematic universe. To lift her family up from her country's rampant poverty, Blair wins a once in a lifetime chance to move up the hierarchical ladder. At the end of the day though, the only thing that matters is the bizarre musings of side character Portia (possible best Barbie character).

Join The Barbie Council as they take a look at Barbie and the Three Musketeers. Barbie stars as Corrine, a girl who dreams of being a musketeer. To save the prince she must team up with her friends to defeat Phillipe in what is the second and final appearance of Tim Curry in a Barbie movie.
With fun songs, a benign animal sidekick and questionable weapons, it's a surprisingly enjoyable retelling of the classic story. But where does it rank in the pantheon of Barbie movies?

The Barbie Council is taking a look at Barbie Presents: Thumbelina the 15th animated Barbie movie...or is this Bee Movie? We can't remember. But that's not important. Let's talk about the psychopathic construction superintendent attempting to murder a child instead.

About:Barbie Presents: Thumbelina is the fifteenth Barbie animated movie and another classic story retelling. Instead of retelling the original Thumbelina story, it feels more like they are retelling the 2007 classic Bee Movie. The Barbie Council digs in to find out if it holds up 15 years later.
The Barbie Council dives into Barbie's second foray into Christmas movies with Barbie in a Christmas Carol. Does it live up to the original story, how annoying is Chuzzlewit the cat and what is going on with this bizarre Amazon interview?

About:
Barbie in a Christmas Carol is the second Barbie Christmas movie (or first depending on who you believe). Taking inspiration from the classic Charles Dickens story, this movie is unique for a Barbie movie in that the main character is actually the villain. Does it hold up all of these years later? The Barbie Council dives in to find out.
It's time for The Barbie Council to ring in 2025 by taking a look at the absolute classic, Barbie & the Diamond Castle. Can incredible songs like "Connected" and a homey cottage core setting save this movie from the two horrifying dogs dancing for ten minutes? Let's dive in and find out!

The Barbie Council is back and taking a look at Barbie Mariposa, the first spinoff in the Fairytopia series. With similar themes to the gold standard of Mermadia and an unoffensive animal sidekick, can Mariposa stand on its own as one of the best movies in the Fairytopia series? Bibble is unfortunately back, but he only tries to seduce a rock statue once before disappearing for most of the movie, so Mariposa has a good shot at rocketing up the Fairytopia rankings.

But how far does it get dragged down by the absolutely insufferable, needy and makeup caked baby elephant Tika? Find out as the Council dives into Barbie as the Island Princess!

We round out our exploration of My Scene with it's 2000's era web series. Running from 2002-2008, it provides a surprising amount of lore in short episode runtimes while also providing absolutely horrible video and audio quality. The Barbie Council is here to sift through all these episodes and try to make sense of Barbie being booted from My Scene.

Buckle up for My Scene's first (and only) feature length film. The gang sneak onto a movie set and become the most insufferable group of extras that Hollywood has ever seen. But they all have to watch out on set because we have a cameo from a certain disgraced movie executive.
