1. Barbie, in full Barbara Millicent Roberts, an 11-inch- (29-cm-) tall fashion doll with the figure of an adult woman, was introduced on March 9, 1959, by Mattel, Inc., a southern California toy company. Barbie has been an essential part of the toy fashion doll market for over six decades. Also, Mattel has sold over a billion Barbie dolls, making it its largest and most profitable line.
2. Barbie and her best male friend, Ken, are the two most popular dolls in the world. Since its launch, Barbie has transformed the toy business in affluent communities globally by becoming a vehicle for the sale of related merchandise (accessories, clothes, friends and relatives of Barbie, etc.)

Based on the Barbie fashion dolls by Mattel, it is the first live-action Barbie film after numerous computer-animated direct-to-video and streaming television films.

It sends the message that you, too, can be anything, just like Barbie.
