Not only is this movie better that Godfather Part 1, This is the ONLY movie you should ever watch. The characters are well written, the jokes land, and Barbie herself is an interesting character. The Barbie saga has been going strong since 2001. All of the movies in the series are incredibly emotional and intersting. The only gripe I have with it is that the CGI looks too real. They look too real to be in a kids show. Don't ever watch a Pixar film, because this is the definitive animated movie experience. Dare I say that it's almost as good as Motu Patlu, Which is also a great classic show.

Barbie: Life in the Dreamhouse is nothing less that a modern entertaining series for those who like "slap stick" humor and hidden hints from a lot of other high profiled Hollywood productions.There are a lot of details in every episode containing hints to either the Barbie franchise, everyday situations, and certainly also the stereotype behavior of the characters.They are all sweet, clumsy, silly, nice, in their own rights. The characters all have their own personality and sometimes they are having trouble doing things because their limited way of movement (as they are dolls in the series and therefore not pretending to be human). So warning against haircuts do have a point; the hair does not grow out again.. ;-)This is combined with the silly oversize of driver license, spray bottles and other stuff that comes with a Barbie doll.And if you watch it closely you can learn a lot of trivia about Barbie, as a lot of Barbie fact are present in some episodes.This series is an absolute must for every Barbie fan.

I was letting my 3 yo cousin be in charge of the Netflix choices one evening and she was pulled, as if by some magnetic force, to "Barbie: LITDH". Believe you me; I tried everything in my power to get her to make another choice, but I eventually gave in and was very happy I did.This show is very clever, they\ characters live their lives as dolls and it is hilarious to see them build their new sports cars fresh from the box and bake treats by jamming random ingredients into their toy oven. Barbie's house is so ridiculously over-the-top, it really is the 'Dream House' I would have created in my childhood. It is silly and playful, the characters are distinct and interesting (especially Ken, hubba hubba...).Some people don't like the portrayal of Barbie on this show. I'll say this much: Barbie is perfection. She has everything you could possibly dream of, and yet she remains humble and generous throughout the series. The Barbie brand was always a form of escapism for me; I wouldn't expect her to be living through some real-world struggle, that's simply ridiculous.Give this show a chance. Even if you're not a fan of Barbie movies, you might be pleasantly surprised!

I have always been a Barbie fan, practically from birth. Now, as a mother of 3 daughters who LOVE Barbie everything, and who has seen every single Barbie movie at least once with those girls, I am disgusted by this Barbie television show.I sat through one episode with my daughters, and was appalled that every character was portrayed as a superficial caricature that perpetuates every reason why feminists hate Barbie. The characters are extremely shallow, and even though some of them are "smart" and can use scientific words in a vaguely applicable context, somehow the writers have made even "intelligent" characters seem like air-heads. Barbie and her multitude of friends and sisters are placed in plots completely focused on superficial things like fashion shows, being in the spotlight, looking pretty--even her male friends.I am so disappointed that after I had a dialogue with my girls (ages 5, 7, and 9, the Mattel demographic) about why this version of Barbie doesn't send the right message or portray the values we hold dear for girls even they agreed that it's a stupid show. The Barbie movies (back when Kelly Sheridan voiced them, before the new, young, shallow Mattel makeover in 2011) used to portray a better image for Barbie--even if the movies themselves were a little cheesy. We enjoyed those movies, and purchased every one of them. But after the ridiculous Fashion Fairytale, we have rented and rejected every movie since. Judging what I have seen of these recent Mattel productions and especially since seeing two episodes of this awful show, I'm *this* close to jumping on the anti-Barbie bandwagon.
