Barbie Tells Girls ‘You Can Be Anything’ In New (Refreshing) Ad

I’ve hated on Barbie on this blog and applauded others who are working to break down the boundaries that we surround our little girls with when it comes to toys and playtime. But finally, FINALLY Mattel has done something right in Barbie’s newest commercial that tells girls when you play with Barbie “you can be anything” all it takes is some imagination.

Now, this isn’t far-fetched from what Barbie has been about the whole time — after all she’s been every career we could ever think of, but after a decade or so of slightly condescending ads that often focus on “beauty” and model-like” behaviors, this ad was downright heartfelt, positive and not to mention inspiring. I think I might have cracked a smile or two. Because it’s true, girls can be anything they want, all it takes is some imagination and believing in your dreams!

Watch for yourself:

I want to know your thought? Love it hate it? Indifference? Let me know!

      Right? I was bracing myself for the worst but was pleasantly surprised. I think Mattel finally figured it out to not sell the image of the doll, but where the play with the doll can take girls’ imaginations. WIN!

    Hey there fellow readers. My mates and I delighted to have found the guidance here. Ive been crawling the net for this info since last fall and I will be sure to tell my colleagues to drop by. The other night I was skipping through the net trying to locate a conclusion to my eternal questions. Now I am planning to take more responsibility in whatever way I can. We are getting all pickled out on the signs we are observing. Moreover, I just wanted to thank you tremendously for such stellar work. This has pushed me out of my comfort zone. Many beautiful creations are seeding in my world. Its really a super area to make new friendships. I need to share that I am investigating.
