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]
