Barbie: Life in the Dreamhouse is a web series of computer-animated shorts produced by Arc Productions and Mattel[1] which originally aired on YouTube and the official Barbie website from 10 January 2012 to 27 November 2015.[2]

The series is currently available on Netflix, but only as specialized bundles of episodes instead of the series' original chronological episode order.[3] Two TV specials aired on Nickelodeon on September 1, 2013.[4] A follow-up long-form CGI-animated series, titled Barbie: Dreamhouse Adventures, was released between May 3, 2018 and April 12, 2020 on Netflix.[5]

Setting[edit]

The series is set in a fictional version of Malibu, California, where all of its inhabitants are dolls. The dolls behave like humans, though a number of the show's gags rely on their doll-like nature. The series centers on the life of Barbie, her friends, her siblings, her boyfriend, Ken and a number of pets. The series is stylized as a mock reality show featuring confessionals of the characters in between scenes. The show heavily relies on slapstick humor, and makes a lot of satirical and self-parody references to the Barbie doll line.

Characters[edit]

  • Barbara Millicent "Barbie" Roberts (voiced by Kate Higgins): Barbie is the lead character of the show. She lives in a large pink mansion called the "Dreamhouse" along with her younger sisters Skipper, Stacie, Chelsea and their pets. Barbie is a fashion icon and has had over 135 careers, and counting. Despite being a celebrity in Malibu, she is friendly, humble and good-natured.
  • Kenneth "Ken" Carson (voiced by Sean Hankinson): Ken is Barbie's long-time boyfriend. Ken strives to be the perfect boyfriend for Barbie and is always there when Barbie needs him. He is an inventor who makes high-end machines and gadgets for Barbie to use, though they usually end up malfunctioning.
  • Skipper Roberts (voiced by Paula Rhodes): Barbie's teenage sister who enjoys technology and DJing.
  • Stacie Roberts (voiced by Paula Bodin; née Rhodes): Barbie's tomboy tween sister who loves sports and organization.
  • Chelsea Roberts (voiced by Laura Gerow): Barbie's youngest sister who is mostly interested in collecting and playing with stuffed animals (including her eye-catching favorite Unicorn Plushie of the Month or simply Plushie).
  • Teresa (voiced by Katie Crown): Barbie's extremely chatty but ditzy best friend who lives near the Dreamhouse and often makes silly, half-witted remarks.
  • Nikki (voiced by Nakia Burrise): Barbie's principal Black American best friend who is also close friends with Teresa. She manages a fashion blog and loves taking pictures as a hobby.[6] She is creative, smart, sassy, outspoken, and very protective of her friends.
  • Raquelle (voiced by Haviland Stillwell): Barbie's frenemy and rival for Ken's affections. She lives a very posh lifestyle in an attempt to outshine Barbie. She is portrayed as vain and arrogant and is not above deceit to attain what she wants. She is also clumsy, and her plans to sabotage Barbie often backfire.
  • Ryan (voiced by Charlie Bodin): Raquelle's twin brother and struggling musician.[7] He is in love with Barbie and often writes songs about her to impress her. He is a frenemy of Ken and will often brawl with him to win Barbie's affections. Like his sister, Ryan is also very vain and is often seen carrying around large cardboard standups of himself.
  • Midge Hadley (voiced by Ashlyn Selich): Barbie's childhood best friend from Barbie's hometown of Willows, Wisconsin.[8] She and Barbie lost touch when Barbie's family moved to Malibu. Prior to her makeover, she appears in black-and-white, dressed in vintage fashion, and speaks in early through late 1960s slang.[9] She is also quirky, smart, and is fond of arts and crafts (particularly macramé). She moves to Malibu and develops a crush on Ryan, who does likewise after her makeover.
  • Summer (voiced by Tara Sands): Barbie's fun and energetic best friend who loves sports and games. She is competitive, and her hyperactive nature is sometimes too much to handle.[10]
  • Grace (voiced by Lillian Sofia): Barbie's new best friend and a new resident in Malibu. She is very smart and interested in science.
  • The Mall Cop: A strict and sometimes angry security guard who goes by the Malibu Mall codes of conduct.
  • Closet (voiced by Todd Resnick): A robot who lives in and manages Barbie's closet. The robot speaks in monotone and has an evil side.
