Just in case there was any doubt....

...that Barbie is, in fact, a Time Lady.

No, really. It's the only explanation.

Most of them are really short, but there's quite a few of them. I'm less-than-thrilled at the doll design - it's kind of scary when the actual Barbie dolls and the virtual "dolls" in the not-parody movies are some of the most reasonably proportioned dolls out there, and the LITD dolls are more, well, skinny - but LITD is kind of impressive in its writing. It manages to do parody without becoming overly cynical, and still keeps a certain joy. I think the music video (official, not fan) captures it really well. It's fun, a little silly, and there's this great moment at the end when Barbie looks up at the viewer as she sings "together, forever, you and me." The animators actually manage to make what's obviously an animated doll have a real moment of connection with her fans, whether they're the girls who love her now or the women who loved her decades ago.

Ahem. Possibly I have watched that video a lot.

I also loved the Festivids vid. It was very cute.

I didn't get the Whovian reference till about the third time they looked or stepped into the camper.

Heee. You should see Barbie's closet. The Dreamhouse is waaaaaay bigger on the inside than the outside. The Doctor would be simultaneously jealous and worried that he's lose a Pond in there.
