Quick note: I made the executive choice not to include Gerwig’s movie in the ranking. So which movies hold up? Which ones truly embody the Barbie energy that has been in the zeitgeist over the past few months? Which are worthy of checking out when you exit the theater in a post- Barbie high?Īs is my nature and my calling, I sat down and watched every single Barbie movie, from Barbie in the Nutcracker to 2023’s Barbie: Skipper and the Big Babysitting Adventure, and ranked every single one of them. But one thing is constant across all Barbie movies: She’s the hero of her own story, saving the day (and often the world!) with her best friends, all while looking super cute. There have been a lot of Barbie mermaids. And also fantasy movies featuring mermaids. But there’s more to Movie Barbie than our specific childhood favorites - her film career has gone through many different phases, from straight-up fairy-tale adaptations to hard science fiction. People who grew up as Barbie fans after 2001 probably have their Barbie movie, the one they watched over and over again as kids and have practically memorized.
