Barbie Dreamhouse Adventures

Love the direction Mattel Productions has taken. Just waiting for new episodes. Can't find anything about another season of Barbie. When will Go Team Roberts come back for season 3?

As a father of a 4 year old girl I really appreciate this version of Barbie. They focus on family and the episodes center around an adventure as the name suggests. The interactions between Barbie and her sisters, parents and friends are always positive and if they argue it's because that's a plot point. I can sit through episodes with my daughter and actually enjoy it, with no concern about the content. It doesn't focus on materialistic aspects that Barbie is known for. I was actually happy to see the second season added to Netflix, because we had watched every episode of season 1 multiple times (yes, it's that re-watchable). When you compare this Barbie "Dreamhouse adventures", it far more positive content for younger viewers than the other Barbie "life in the dreamhouse" version (it's funny in its own way, but focuses on the materialistic side of Barbie. That show also does not reflect positive/Healthy conversations between friends or include any parent interactions - kids model what they see!!)

My kids love this show. They've listed their favorite episodes thus:

1.Room swap 2.Clubhouse (remix) 3.The Great Pioneer Adventure 4.My babysister the babysitter 5. A dreamhouse puppytale 6. Pied pupper 7. A delicate situation 8. Balancing Act 9.Time will tell 10. A day at the beach

Honorable mentions: -picture perfect cake -ballad of windy willows

Some of the other episodes had yoga which my kids think is boring, or (in the case of the mermaid episodes) were too suspenseful. But its a great series and they always look forward to new episodes.

I have been a Barbie fan my entire life. The new series is absolutely fantastic. Barbie is so relatable and modern! The stories teach wonderful life lessons about friendship, love and family. Tons of humor and fun!! Love!!!

This version is more positive for kids and has more relatable content than the original Barbie Dreamhouse series.

However, the reason the original was good was because it was nonsensical and hilarious, not because anything was positive or relatable. The original is about immortal plastic dolls living in plastic houses in Malibu, it was escapist silly fun for the whole family. It doesn't feel like other kid shows because it's so absurd and imaginative.

My daughter(11), husband, and I loved watching the previous series when she was younger and it's still good, but when we watched this new version today we were surprised that they went in the complete opposite direction of the original. It's not a bad kids show but there's none of the irreverent humor or really anything clever or interesting here in my opinion. My daughter also didn't like that Barbie lacked her endless optimism and willingness to be an open book with her friends in the new version. And where's Midge? She's the best character.

I realize this is a silly review but we got pretty riled up watching the new Barbie Dreamhouse series today, and that's also a bit silly. So it seemed fitting.
