The Barbie Diaries 2006

With six chart-topping Barbie Princess and Fairytopia films under her hit-making belt, Barbie has become an entertainment powerhouse and a family favorite among home DVD collections. This spring - for the first time ever - Barbie will be featured as a high school student with "real life" fun and adventures with her friends, appealing to the slightly older girl (ages 6-8).

The Barbie Diaries will feature an innovative, distinctive toon-shaded CGI animated look and a hip, contemporary soundtrack featuring the voice of international recording artist Skye Sweetnam. Girls will be able to sing along to a total of eight news songs from the movie.

As the new school year begins, Barbie is hoping her sophomore year will behold some exciting changes. Barbie is elated when her major crush Todd finally shows interest, but all hopes are dashed when Todd shockingly asks Raquelle to the Fall Formal - especially after he has asked Barbie!

At least Barbie has best friends like Courtney and Tia on her side to help get over her heartache. And when Barbie receives a mysterious charm bracelet that opens a special diary, she begins to write about her secret dreams and her luck gradually changes.

With the special diary and charm bracelet, Barbie finds the courage to truly be herself and learns valuable lessons about friendship, self-confidence and even romance. Barbie finally gets the courage to audition her band Charmz (Barbie, Courtney, and Tia) to play at the Fall Formal… and they get the gig, allowing Charmz to take center stage and rock the house.
