The Barbie Video Game Hero movie and accompanying doll and accessory collection provides an interesting spin on the traditional Barbie brand's products.
The Barbie Video Game Hero DVD features a Blu-Ray movie that shows Barbie transformed into a roller-skating video game character. From there, she tries to travel from level to level and rely on her "amazing gaming skills and out-of-the-box thinking" in order to beat the game. The movie is offered alongside physical manifestations of the characters in it, including different Barbie dolls, smaller dolls that are both male and female and some of the other figures and characters that can be found in the movie.
Barbie's Video Game Hero movie and collection provides a unique spin on typical Barbie movies.
