41.The Barbie Diaries(2006)
41.
Its simply jarring and boring to see Barbie veer into Bratz territory.
Leave that to them, girl.
40.Barbie: A Perfect Christmas(2011)
40.
Mattel Entertainments first attempt at an original Christmas story is a hard pass.
While trying to visit their Aunt Millie(innocent!
The biggest crime is that the songs are incredibly forgettable.
39.Barbie Video Game Hero(2017)
39.
Its uncanny valley to the max as Barbie is sucked into a dizzying video game.
I accept that this is not for me, but absolutely for the iPad kids of today.
38.Barbie: Mariposa(2008)
38.
My bias is showing because first of all, butterflies make me extremely uncomfortable.
Plus, Im sorry, but Mariposas friends Rayna and Rayla are grating.
37.Barbie: The Pearl Princess(2014)
37.
Theres nothing extremely wrong with this pearl magic-wielding mermaid.
36.Barbie in Rock N Royals(2015)

Barbie and her best friends go from gymnasts to spy girlies with fashion tech and robot pets.
Theyve got nothing onKim Possible and her grappling-hookblow dryerthough.

33.
The Barbies and her sisters just go along with this?
They dont even know how long theyll be underwater for??
32.Barbie Presents: Thumbelina(2009)
32.
Some points for trying.
31.Barbie: The Princess & the Popstar(2012)
31.
Now, they sure are brave for remixingThe Princess and the Pauperbecause its so far superior to this.
The differences between the girls are not drastic enough inThe Princess & the Popstar.
Oh, the struggle.

25.Barbie: Princess Adventure(2020)

She wants them to trade places!
(I guffawed when Barbie didnt notice their resemblance until Amelia told her to put her hair down.)
Its yet anotherPrince and the Pauperadaptation from Mattel that, yes, plays better than the previous two films.
But as Taylor Swift once said, I think Ive seen this film before.
24.Barbie in a Christmas Carol(2008)
24.
23.Barbie and the Secret Door(2014)
23.
Theres nothing that gets me more emotional than a grandma helping out her shy granddaughter.
22.Barbie & Chelsea: The Lost Birthday(2021)
22.
Are Chelsea dolls not selling as well as Mattel would like?
Now thats a real drama-queen move I respect.
21.Barbie: Big City, Big Dreams(2021)
21.
Its the one where Barbie tries her best to become a New Yorker.
Im adding this movie to theBest New York City Movies listimmediately.
20.Barbie: A Fairy Secret(2011)
20.
19.Barbie: Skipper and the Big Babysitting Adventure(2023)
19.
Instead, Skipper spends a summer by herself after taking a job at a water park.
Its an easy, breezy little film employing some adorable 2-D animation for Skippers dream sequences throughout.
18.Barbie: Fairytopia(2005)
18.
Every girl goes through a horse-girl phase or a fairy-girl phase, andFairytopiais for the latter.
and Elinas outfit and boring bun are not cute.

17.
16.Barbie in the Pink Shoes(2013)
16.
What do Barbie and the famously beloved filmThe Red Shoeshave in common?
They both loosely adapt the same fairytale by Hans Christian Andersen.
Who says Barbie isnt cinema?
15.Barbie in a Mermaid Tale(2010)
15.
14.Barbie: Star Light Adventure(2016)

Zenonand Barbie would be BFFs.

The titular gemstone dolphins are basically cousins of the tulkuns.

11.

10.
These girls just want to dance!
And that is basically the whole premise!
9.Barbie As the Island Princess(2007)
9.
It turns into a really sweet ending.
8.Barbie and the Three Musketeers(2009)
8.
Three girl bosses want to break down the gendered expectations of what it means to be a Musketeer.
Plus, Tim Curry returns to the Barbie Animated Cinematic Universe as another deliciously obvious villain.
Whats not to love?
7.Barbie Fairytopia: Mermaidia(2006)
7.
This movie shouldve been gayer.
6.Barbie As Rapunzel(2002)
6.
Theresa whole outfit-changing sequencewhere Barbie is magically painting each outfit.
This is what Barbie is made for!
Theres also a part where her bunny sidekick calls Anjelica Hustons Gothel an old hag.
My only ding on this film is that Barbies braid is too thin.
We all know she has thick blonde tresses andthisis the movie you decide to skimp on the hair?
5.Barbie and the Diamond Castle(2008)
5.
Diamond Castleis for the theater kids.
And the original songs are pretty good, which is a feat.
4.Barbie of Swan Lake(2003)
4.
It doesnt reinvent the wheel, butSwan Lakedoesnt really need to.
3.Barbie and the Magic of Pegasus(2005)
3.
My gut feeling is thatMagic of Pegasusis underrated.
Along withFairytopia, it was one of the first original-story Barbie movies Mattel Entertainment released.
2.Barbie As the Princess and the Pauper(2004)
2.
(Sorry,Barbie the Album.)
Its just physically and emotionally impossible to not rank this at number one.
