I’ve always had a soft spot for these movies. You’d think the overabundance of pink, lacy gowns and talking animals would send me over the edge, but I keep coming back for more. It’s a guilty pleasure that doesn’t come up in normal conversation, and one that I can’t shake even after finding out that this is her 27th CGI-animated talkie.
Barbie: The Pearl Princess is the latest movie/merchandise fusion to come from Mattel. The plan is to release it on March 11, 2014 as a Combo Pack that includes Blu Ray, DVD, and digital HD. Digital HD allows you to download a digital version of the movie and watch it on a tablet or other device.
Barbie stars as Lumina, a mermaid who dreams of being a princess. As long as she can remember, she’s had a magical power that makes pearls dance and glow! Lumina, and her best friend Kuda, a pink seahorse, embark on an adventure to a majestic mer-kingdom.

Barbie in the Pink Shoes will be the first Barbie Blu-Ray release from Mattel.

Maybe you thought it was over. Maybe you thought it was safe to go back into the water. But, apparently, the battle between MGA Entertainment and Mattel for the rights to the Bratz is never-ending! The most recent ruling int he case by a federal judge gave MGA the right to a new trial on every issue between the two companies. Prior to that, Mattel won a huge battle, reclaiming ownership of the Bratz dolls, animated series, and more, in addition to $100 million in damages. But now? Everything is out the window, and the trial begins anew! A huge (temporary?) win for MGA over the Barbie creator, Mattel. Court is expected to start January 11th, 2011, and will no doubt be just as crazy as the original trials. So get ready to get your glam on, cuz the Bratz could be back in business!
Despite each of us in the ToonBarn office seeing the film at least twice in theaters, there’s not a single one of us that can’t wait to see it again. That’s why we’re so incredibly excited to get our hands on the Toy Story 3 home video this November 2nd. Disney and Pixar will be releasing their instant classic in the myriad of format options we’ve all come to know and love; DVD, Blu-Ray, and a Combo Pack with them both. Just in time for the holiday season, you can get your hands on Buzz, Woody, Slinky Dog, Bullseye, Jessie, Rex, and the whole rest of the gang. Check out the full press release to see what’s going to be featured (and special featured) on each!
