American toy company Mattel Inc. has rolled out the best of the best Barbie movies on their YouTube channel so you can watch it all absolutely for free.

It can be recalled that the company produced its first feature-length film titled Barbie in the Nutcracker in 2001 based on E.T.A. Hoffman's classic tale and featured music from Tchaikovsky's ballet.

After its success, it was then followed by several other Barbie films like Barbie as Rapunzel, Barbie of Swan Lake, and Barbie as the Princess and the Pauper.

The creation of these film series in the early 2000s benefitted the company's strategy as they found out that more girls are spending time online than physical dolls.

This then led to Mattell selling dolls specific to each film separately from the DVDs, merchandise, props, and so much more.
