Recently, I have been overwhelmed by a feeling of nostalgia and have revisited a lot of movies I loved when I was little. The Barbie Movie series was a huge part of my childhood, and while looking back, I can see why.
Many of these films are based on classic literature. Others are newly written tales for Barbie herself. Most importantly, these movies are empowering and give great messages for the young target audience.
As I was thinking back, I thought it would be fun to connect these movies to where I find myself now as a college student. I have aligned some of these Barbie movies to areas of study. So, without further ado, here is your Barbie movie based on your college major.
Biology/Biomedical/Animal Sciences – Barbie as the Island Princess (2007)
