We've got a classic on this month's episode of the Barbie Council with Barbie as the Island Princess. Great songs, an insane villain plot and mostly good animal sidekicks. 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. Follow us on ⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠ ⁠⁠! We are also on ⁠⁠...

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.

It's time for Barbie's first musical! But let's be honest, the real reason to watch this movie is for Preminger's completely unhinged faces, screams and one liners.

Just two weeks after Jammin’ in Jamaica released back in 2004, My Scene cranked out another movie (if you can call 28 minutes a movie). This time the gang are working on a fashion show and Chelsea’s not good at math and it’s also her sixteenth birthday and there are rumors floating around that her and Hudson are a thing? Where does the Masquerade fit into all this?  We’ll try to make sense of it f...

In 2004, a little DVD that was packed into a relatively new line of dolls would change the world forever. Ok, not really. But the punk rock songs it featured are pretty solid. On this month's episode, Kevin and Briana take a break from the mainline Barbie movies to dive into Jammin' in Jamaica, the first of several movies from the short lived MyScene doll line from Mattel.

While Kelsey Grammer may be well known for his roles in Frasier, Cheers and the Simpsons, his biggest role came back in 2003 when he starred in the third Barbie animated movie, Barbie of Swan Lake. Does he do enough to carry this movie to the heights set from the previous two? Or is he not enough to save the movie? Also, why a sneezing troll might be the best scene in the whole movie! Listen to Ep...

After taking a detour to cover the live action Barbie movie last month, Kevin and Briana are picking up where they left off with the second Barbie movie, Barbie as Rapunzel. This movie features actually somewhat likeable animal sidekicks, a strong villain and a weasel who moans way too sexually. But does it have enough to top Barbie in the Nutcracker on our rating scale?
