Barbie is a fashion doll made by the American toy company Mattel, Inc., which was a computer animated virtual actress appearing in animated films directly on DVD. Although Barbie has appeared in the miniseries and short film since 1987, the series officially began in 2001 with Barbie in The Nutcracker, which is labeled as "(Barbie) in the lead role in her first (full-length) film." This is followed by a total of thirty-five movies, and the series is suspended from 2017. Other Barbie appearances in other films, including my line from My Scene and the Toy Story series, are not considered part of the franchise. Created by Mattel Creations (formerly Mattel Entertainment), over 27 million films have been sold worldwide since 2006.
