Barbie Dreamtopia

A Very Colorful Animated TV Series.

I am not a direct fan of Barbie especially Barbie dolls however the series has very wonderful animation that is very hard not to like.

My very quick review.

This is a really fun & care-free show! So relaxing and cute!

Everyone except the price, is a blonde blue eyed skinny character. Even animals are white washed with blue eyes etc. So many chances to be inclusive. Girls of all kinds love Barbie and the toys are supposedly trying to be inclusive. What's up with this series? I was told there were "diverse" characters...?? Where? Watched four episodes. FOUR. Nope. Saw a YouTube short piece of video with some different colored princesses who were all basically white people with colored hair. All thin and had the same tiny nosed, straight hair, Caucasian featured face but with colored hair. And that was just a YouTube video.

There's nothing wrong with being blonde and blue eyed (and extra skinny??). But kids need to be exposed to diversity. There could've been episodes where there's a different Barbie or Chelsea who are of other races and face/body features, and who are the main character of the episode, not just an occasional side story unimportant character (if ever) Kids with different face features, body types, even bald girls. Are you aware of all the sick kiddos who don't have hair due to chemo? Or burnt victims? How about some wheelchairs? Or kiddos missing limbs. All these can be included and would be a great way to normalize these children. Not all kids are thin blonde blue eyed kids with "perfect" (or what society and Hollywood dictates as such) bodies.
