Barbie and her Animal Companions
There's been a variety of Barbie releases that have animal companions over the years so I wanted to show off a few! There have been so many over the years that this isn't anywhere near close to a master list, just a selection.
For example Barbie has had many pet dogs over the years - not to mention the pet dogs that have been associated with Skipper, Stacie, Kelly, or Chelsea, or the dogs they have worked with in their pet spa, doggy daycare or other releases. Here's Beauty, from 1979!
Also from the 1970s, Barbie had a variety of pet horses.
Because the horse girl is simply too big a market to overlook. Now, many years removed from the 1970s, and Barbie has a Dreamhouse just for her pets. It's not quite as elaborate as the Barbie Dreamhouse itself, but it's plenty good enough that her pets are living in the lap of luxury.
And of course, there have been other animals released under the Barbie brand. For example the Barbie Wilderness Guide playset.
The little creatures in this one are really cute, I find them really charming.
And this tie-in for The Island Princess, Tika Swing and Twirl.
When looking up the details of this playset, I saw a lot of people complaining. Apparently Tika the elephant is a very unpopular character? Either way, she is swinging her trunk around for these very small human children.

2000s Barbie movies
So I may, or may not have spent my day yesterday listening to every barbie song, and then proceeded to rank them based on five criteria.
(1) Memorability?
(2) Aesthetic?
(3) Serotonin Boost?
(4) How Likely Am I To Play It Casually?
(5) Nostalgic?
Linked below is the playlist I created based on my ranking...
However, if you are apart of my niche, below there is a complete list + my rationale (will be controversial)
Top Ten
These are the songs that score high in all categories...

Keep On Dancing -- The Pink Shoes
Unbelievable -- 3 Musketeers

These are the songs that are good, but after you listen to them a couple times, I started scoring them lower than the first run through.

You can listen to these every once and while, but in the wrong mood, it just irritates. Not terrible though.
