Some friends of mine watch movies every Monday night. For the first half of 2026, they watched Barbie movies every week. They watched through 44 Barbie films in all.

And I was there, Gandalf.

I was there.

A cursory online search reveals that ever animated reviewer so-and-so and their dog seems to have done this marathon already. I hope you will enjoy my version regardless.

Timestamps are below. So many of these movies are exactly the same as each other that I've decided to group them into four "categories". The first time a new category comes up, I describe its general format, which ends up saving about an hour per category in the long run. I never want to look at another fairy as long as I live.

The worst movie I've seen in years was in this marathon.
