What's unexpected is the massive helping of Affectionate Self-Parody, Lampshade Hanging, Medium Awareness, and Parental Bonus on display, adding up to a lovingly parodic version of the Barbie universe not completely out of line with her Toy Story 3 depiction.Ī major difference between this series and other Barbie stories is that this version stars Barbie the doll. Barbie attends parties, goes to the beach, dates Ken, hangs out with her sisters, and does all of the sort of things you would expect Barbie to do. The series follows a Slice of Life look into Barbie's, well, life in her Malibu dream house, with brief Reality Television-esque asides into Barbie and her friends' thoughts.

An animated series that ties in with the popular Barbie toyline, Barbie: Life in the Dreamhouse is a 2012-2015 web series produced by Mattel.
