      Yeah gosh I remember these movies being on all the time as a child because my sister loved them. I still find myself quoting “lefting, leftaroo” on a pretty regular basis.

      I think it’s like Avatar the Last Airbender, they don’t want the movie being made without the original creators. The live action on Netflix did a great job with the mood of the locations and hiring the actors, everything else is pretty bad. They don’t want to see all their work bastardized. I get it.

        So… Mattel?

          Did you see the movie? It wasn’t really showing Mattel in the best light. I was surprised they let it go through.

              Avatar the Last Airbender was owned by Nickelodeon at the time of the movie, what’s your point? The creators of the movie Barbie rebranded it to what made tons of money.

                What’s your point? Mattel owns Barbie, they get to decide what to do with it or not. Greta Gerwig and Margo Robbie do not own Barbie, they have no say in what happens with it.
