Barbie Dreamtopia is a super fun world created by Mattel Creations! It's an animated series and films made by Snowball Studios, an Israeli animation company. The whole idea for Dreamtopia came from Julia Pistor, one of Mattel's main producers.
The story follows a young girl named Chelsea Roberts. She goes on amazing adventures in her very own make-believe land called Dreamtopia. Her older sister, Barbie, often joins her. In this magical world, they discover yummy lands, swim in rainbow rivers with mermaids, and even fly through fluffy cotton candy clouds with fairies!
Dreamtopia first came out on YouTube Kids, which is a special app for younger viewers. Later, it was available on regular YouTube. A special movie, Barbie Dreamtopia, was shown on TV in many countries on June 26, 2016. Because the movie was so popular, a longer TV show called Barbie Dreamtopia: The Series was created! The first few episodes of the series were released on YouTube Kids in May 2017. More episodes came out every week on YouTube starting November 5, 2017. The series also started airing on Cartoon Network Australia on March 2, 2018.
