I think the bigger picture here. Is the fact that…. If climate activists will lie and forge and manipulate the media about something as inconsequential as a child’s toy to get their misguided and unrealistic way. What will they do on serious matters that affect and put us all at a disadvantage . As citizens and as a country??
Anybody???
I’ll wait……
To the other comments, Mattel isn’t evil, the Barbie movie is for everyone and was great, and yes we’ve been trying to get rid of all single use plastics like water bottles. I think its great that Mattel is trying to be more environmentally friendly.
The ban has only been proposed, there’s a long way to go before it gets passed. Besides, we lived before plastic water bottles, we can live without them again.
Yes. There is to much marketing on Barbie. Yeah She is a good doll. But the movie that is made for adults instead of for children is wrong. The movie seems to be over kill and leave well enough along. Let Barbie be a doll and not a marketing tool. 😠
While I do totally agree that the Barbie movie is geared more towards the adults that grew up with her (seeming to want to pull 90’s and younger gen born adults), I will say that Barbie has been a “marketing” tool since I was a kid. She’d had cartoons and animated movies. She’s been used for commercials for other Mattel products.
Children grow up, and there are things that, as adults, we will always like. Respectfully, the movie isn’t “wrong”, it’s just not for everyone.
Speaking of plastic… Mattel’s quality has gone down the toilet. They’ve switched plastics, so all the snap-together tabs in their Barbie houses and Hot Wheels tracks don’t stay together. Fewer and simpler fabric clothes are included in the Barbie doll sets. Hot Wheels cars have less cast metal and are now mostly plastic. It used to be that Mattel and Hasbro were equal brands, now Mattel feels like a Dollar Store brand next to Hasbro (not that Hasbro is perfect).

Its a Smart move to make Barbie compostable which means it will quickly destroy itself and need to be replaced with another, then another, then another…! Genius!
Well no more handing down toys and toy collections. Toys will decompose and need to be bought more often for the same child. Leave a toy out side for a few hours could be the destruction of it depending on the weather conditions.
Seems like more of a ploy to make more sales then to actually be eco friendly.
same lmao… genuinely surprised this site gets any advertisers at all considering they don’t do anything about the rampant hate speech in their comment sections
Whenever a company turns away from it’s values in order to pander to social pressure it’s the beginning of the end. Look for Mattel to join the ranks of Budweiser at some point.
Why not just use vinyl, it’s a better material anyway. You can’t get rid of Barbie, she’s an icon that’s been around for years. I haven’t seen the Barbie movie, and don’t really want to…no offense. However, I’ve always loved Barbie since childhood. I do love the varieties of dolls their coming out with now. Come out with more! That would be awesome! We have down syndrome Barbie, wheelchair Barbie. How about others like: a bald cancer Barbie; autistic, elderly, teen boys, handicapped, ect. There are so many things you could do…all in good taste though. Why not go for it! More variety of clothes for the male dolls ( add some color for the love of God!).
OK so barbie I something I love my dad bought us the movies as a kid
I will not wach the live action one it’s silly because he’s plastic and can only be in animated movie for kids
As for the not having a barbie for every one she’s supposed to be for every one my I’m not blond and skinny but I’m not wanting to change kin of barbie because my size or belief in God she’s a pretty toy to make believe with and do fashion shows I even made my own clothes
Plus I have Have learning disabilities I have the voice talk but I don’t want a Barbie the voice talks and can’t see right or a movie about one
Re : No More Plastic Barbie Girls just wanna have fun! Leave Barbie alone! No one wants a doll made out of creepy kelp or whatever. How many chemicals will it take to kill the smell and stop decomposition?
So this was actually a hoax press release done by climate-change activists the Yes Men. Mattel has come back and said that all of this was false information. Very convincing and elaborate, but still false.
So in other words, these dolls will be made out of crap materials that won’t last ten years so more will be in the landfill and cost two to three times the price to boot because it’s made of “recycled materials”….got it!!!!
Well there goes Barbie all together if they do this they’ll lose everything and I hope not as a hot wheels collector and my wife a Barbie collector they will sink with this move
OMGosh I have heard it all now. Has everyone turned into idiots in this country?! Glad I kept all my Barbie’s. One made from mushrooms and who knows what insane. When will they ban certain kinds of people. Just wait for it.
It’s a hoax dummies! This has been widely reported – environmental activists posing as Mattel by way of creating websites and videos using Mattel’s branding were behind this. They’re not stopping production on Barbies or any other plastic toys. Maybe do a little research before publishing “news” next time! 🙄
Of all the asinine things I’ve ever read..Barbies are the issue? I don’t recall ever seeing a Barbie in a coral reef, or wrapped around a sea turtle..get serious 🙄
Mattel in not so many words just said they are going out of business.
Then again they stopped making toys for kids.
The movie was made for adults. They are as out of touch as the Government.
It’s a low blow to those with Down Syndrome to include them in your satire, as if they’re a joke. You could have said they’re making DogBarbie or AlienBarbie for fun.
Can we start throwing all the plastic into the oceans? After the fake story given they kind of earn us doing that for the lies they gave. We need more items made of plastic to throw away 🥳
So disappointed in the movie Mattel. I thought this was really going to be a Barbie movie instead it had a message behind it which was upsetting. Everyone can be a Barbie no matter what! Everyone should know that. The world today is way too sensitive. How dare you make Barbie cry!

Water bottles are already made of 100% recycled material.

Down Syndrome Barbie was an EPIC FAIL. It looks nothing like Down Syndrome-very sad. Mattel could have done so much better with it

That’s what I said. They can write satire but don’t ruin the joke by dragging down innocent people.

From what I heard there not stopping productions their just changing what they use to make barbie. They aren’t ending production of Barbie!

If they are using compostable products then Barbie can’t go in the tub with you for a swim! She will melt like the wicked witch!

FYI. This was a hoax. Mattel did not announce this. People are so gullible.

Barbie will continue. She may not be made of current plastics we know, but she ain’t going nowhere.

The part about phasing out plastic has been debunked as a hoax.
