[instrumental music]
I did it.
I'm a star!
Don't ask me how,
better every time we watch it.
But I swear this movie gets
It 1,000 percent does.
[yawns]
Think we could reach the top
of the charts one day?
Nope.
Kidding!
The real question is,
gonna hit number one first?
Which one of our songs is
[laughs]
how cool our lives would be
I mean, can you imagine
if that happened?
Making music full time.
No more homework.
Or stressing about side gigs.
Or worrying if Otto is even
going to like our demo,
when we finally finish it.
Just us and our music.
That's the dream.
One day.
[cat meows]
Where are we?
[gasps]
Etta?
[yawns]
fell asleep downstairs.
Guess we accidentally
is not my friend.
Couch sleeping
What's with the ginormous centerpiece?
Woah.
You could see it from space.
Oh, there's a card.
"Dear Barbie Roberts and Barbie Roberts.
The entire team at Dream It, Be It Records
recently had the chance
to see a video of your amazing
Time Square performance."
I've heard of them!
Duh, there only the biggest
music label in the city.
Keep reading!
"And our president would love
to meet with you
this morning at 11:00 am.
Hope you can make it."
[cheering]
Woah!
Ha! I got ya.
Thanks.
If I'd fallen in, you wouldn't
have found me for weeks.
We only have an hour.
We gotta go get ready.
To go meet the president
Wait, what do we wear
we'd die to work with?
Of a music label
You heard the card, we're amazing,
whatever we want.
So I'd say,
Eek! It's like, I know we've got
to chill but also, ah, I can't.
Me either.
Could change our lives.
I mean, this meeting
OK, so here's the deal.
We just need to go in there
and be ourselves.
Right, cause we already know
they love our music,
so let's just breathe.
[deep breath]
Girls!
[both] Pandora?
Are we at the wrong address?
Did Otto move buildings?
Otto Phoenix?
[laughs] Please.
That man is so last week.
At Dream It, Be It Records.
I'm working here now,
And when I heard the label
wanted to bring you in,
I was stunned.
You know, partly because
I'd already met you,
and partly because at the time
I found you rather forgettable.
But that was before.
This, is now and I can't wait
to work with you!
Smoothie?
Aw, strawberry.
You actually remembered.
Never mind, right this way.
Remembered what?
Barbies, Janelle Cleaver,
our fearless leader.
The genius behind the label.
A true music visionary
I think they get the idea, Pandora.
Come in, come in.
So thrilled to finally meet you.
The moment I heard you sound
I knew you had to be part of this label.
And my team has put together a plan
you household names in no time.
That's guaranteed to make
The firs thing we need to do
is get you into the studio
to record your debut album.
I've already lined up And don't worry,
and the best musicians in town.
The hottest producer
Cost is no object.
Do you know what that means?
That we'll never have to worry
about earning enough money
for a recording session again?
Exactly.
And that's only the beginning.
Your first single, After we release
we're talking world tour, ladies!
Sold out stadium shows.
Prime time interviews.
You're music videos on every screen.
Sign with us,
into hits and you into stars!
And we'll turn your songs
So, do we have a deal?
[both] Deal!
[camera shutter snaps]
I'll be in touch.
We need to get you into the
studio as soon as possible.
And start booking you for press.
Press?
We've never spoken to anyone
but our friends and family
about our music.
Well, you better get used to it.
Pretty soon anyone who is anyone
is going to want to talk to you.
Even people who aren't getting paid to.
You know, like I am.
Ciao!
She's even harder to read now
that she's being nice to us. Huh.
That was her being nice, right?
Yep.
You know, it's kind of like Rafa
at a fabric store
when he hasn't eaten lunch.
What he's thinking.
Can never tell
[both gasp]
Did a greenhouse throw up in here?
Uh, I think that one's watching me.
Girls, so glad you're back.
We've been waiting forever.
What took you so long?
The flower deliveries have been non-stop.
And, don't forget about..
Where'd it go?
I'll find it.
Why didn't you tell us?
Tell you what?
Here it is.
We're so proud, baby.
You signed with Dream It, Be It Records.
It's all over the news.
with Dream It, Be It Records,
[news reporter] And signing
the Barbies are the next
big thing in music.
But how'd you
We were just
It was only like 30 minutes ago
and that is impressive printing speed.
[phone ringing]
[all] Barbie! We just heard
the news.
And this was delivered to the house.
You did it!
Be yourself, but, you know, better.
Answer their questions
but leave some mystery.
The press loves mystery.
And if you don't know an answer,
make it up!
No one cares.
OK, but when you say no one
Hulgh!
[cameras shutters snapping]
Hi.
Um, we're
[both] The Barbies.
[cameras shutters snapping]
[cameras shutters snapping]
The label thinks you look amazing.
Really?
Even though this has nothing
to do with music?
Ah, of course and the label is sure
of every major magazine.
You'll be on the cover
- They said that?
- Major?
[phone ringing]
Oh, it's my sisters.
I should get this.
Me too.
Barbie!
- Tell us everything.
- What's it like?
It's the best.
The label is taking us to interviews,
records, photo shoots,
I mean, look at this.
We're going to get our music
out to the world.
[upbeat music]
[music continues]
[phone ringing]
[cheering]
[phone ringing]
[cameras shutters snapping]
[sighs]
[phone ringing]
Oh, good, you're free.
Limo's on the way to take you
to the music video shoot
for your new song.
Our what now?
There must be some kind of mix up.
We haven't written a new song,
but if you give us a few days,
we could put one together.
Yeah, in fact, I heard this
really interesting sound
on the train this morning that I
thought would make a great beat.
Tick, tick, vreee, tick, tick, vreee!
It'll sound cooler on your keyboard.
OK, or, you get in the limo
and come to the shoot now.
The label doesn't want you
wasting time writing.
Besides, that was your old sound.
I thought the label loved our sound?
Isn't that why you signed us?
Of course! But that was before.
This is now.
Everyone knows the music biz
changes by the minute
and you have to change with it.
Don't want to be washed up
before our time, do we?
Just give it a listen.
I didn't think so.
[electronic music]
Amazing, right?
Not the word I'd use.
Uh, it doesn't sound anything like us.
Well, the label thinks it's perfect.
And no one argues with the label.
Trust me, it's totally you.
Not the old you.
The new you,
Limo should be there shortly.
Ciao!
So, that just happened.
Something we didn't write.
I can't imagine singing
I know, but, I mean, sure,
it's a different sound
but that doesn't mean it's bad, right?
Right.
And, if the label thinks it's a good idea,
then I guess that's what we should do.
[horn honking]
There's our ride.
Pandora didn't mention where
we're filming, did she?
I hope it's somewhere cool like a rooftop.
Trash dump?
What are we doing here?
I thought the label had tons of money.
We do, how do you think
we were able to reserve
such a prime location?
It's the gold standard of rubbish,
whole vibe of your new sound.
And it totally captures the
Would that be garbage rock?
Techno trash?
Exactly. And you said you didn't
get the new sound.
Alright, places ladies.
We lose this dump in an hour.
To another band?
No, to actually garbage trucks.
How do you think they maintain
the ambience?
Let's move, people, we're on the clock.
[electronic music]
Woah!
It's for atmosphere.
Keep playing!
[phones vibrating]
Come on, let's see it!
No laughing.
No promises.
Huh!
On second thought,
I think it's actually worse
because you aren't laughing.
I can't.
I just pictured myself in those
scales and it's not funny.
What else you got?
Mm-mm.
[laughs]
Ugh.
Nope.
Uh-uh. No way.
I'm drawing the line at flippers.
None of these are right.
Pandora to hire new designers.
Seriously, we've gotta tell
Barbie? You still
with me?
Oh, yeah, I just missed so many calls.
I can't even remember the last
time I talked to my family.
How long has it been since
we've been to California?
Is kale still a thing?
Hopefully not.
But I hear what you're saying.
I don't think Jacks and Jayla
even remember who I am.
Maybe we'll have time after today's shoot
- to at least call everyone?
- [phone ringing]
Oooh!
Answer!
Ladies! Finally.
Don't tell me you've forgotten
all about your old manager
now that you're superstars.
Rafa! We'd never forget
about you.
We miss you.
And you'll always be our manager.
But, it's just that the label
has been handling everything.
Like everything.
A certain type of deodorant
Did you know that there's
that's best for vocal chords?
Of course! I've used it
for years.
It's minty fresh.
And I was kidding about the manager thing.
I'm just glad to see your faces.
So, spill. How's it going?
I need the deets!
[Pandora] Girls! Where are you?
Hold that thought, Rafa.
Behind there.
Sorry, lots going on.
All the time.
Photoshoots, interviews, tours.
Music videos, commercials.
Recording sessions,
Not for nothing, but that
shampoo you endorsed?
My scalp has never felt so alive.
And also minty fresh.
It's just that
Good to know,
[Pandora] Malibu? Brooklyn?
We have things to discuss.
It's me guys, spill.
Just what?
And be honest, you know I can always tell.
Honestly, the whole fame thing
isn't what we thought it would be.
Love performing
I mean, we still
But the label's having us
sing these new songs
Which are so not us.
And neither is all the other
stuff they're having us do.
We really miss our friends
and family and school
and making music our way.
But nobody will listen.
So, make them.
As your manager, bestie
and number one fan,
I think I'm qualified to say
Do I hear a signature Rafa
pep talk coming on?
Oh, I've missed these so much.
Stop hiding behind those hideous costumes.
Seriously, they're hurting my eyes.
And take a stand.
It's not gonna be easy,
but I know you can.
There you are.
If I didn't know better, I'd say
you were trying to avoid me.
Now hang up, I have news.
Sorry, gotta go!
Bye.
I have planned the most epic
publicity stunt ever.
One the label is sure will
skyrocket the Barbies
to even grater fame.
Cool.
What is it?
Nothing short of genius.
You're going to break up!
[both] Break up?
A fake break up.
On your make up story.
I'm already working
But think of the world
wide press it will get.
Great idea, huh?
That's and unbelievable idea.
Like, literally.
Unbelievable.
No one would ever buy it.
And, even if some people would buy it
Which they wouldn't.
Totally.
But even if they did, it doesn't matter.
We don't want to do something
that's not true.
We're best friends.
To do that to each other.
We can't even pretend
Please, the label has already
made its decision,
because this is happening so buckle up,
and it's going to be broadcast
live in public.
That's it, we're over!
Ah! Banana!
You said you were tired of strawberry.
You can do better than that!
Oh, my!
Is that the musical sensation
The Barbies, breaking up?
[crowd murmuring]
I'm-- I'm going to sing with Emmy.
My favorite fruits She knows
and she's always liked
my singing voice more.
Oh, yeah?
Then why did she ask me
to perform with her
in Paris next week?
And she loves banana smoothies.
[crowd murmuring]
Do you call that a breakup?
When my ex and I
Never mind.
Get back out there and convince
us it's real.
We told you we didn't want to do this.
We can't make it look real.
Try harder.
You signed a contract, ladies.
It's in the fine print.
There was fine print?
There's always fine print.
That the label has final say
And it clearly states
about every aspect of your career.
Or the deal will be terminated.
You either do what they say
- Isn't this what you wanted?
- [gasps]
you ever dreamed of?
To get everything
To be stars?
No more banana!
I need a boat!
Oh, I just had the worst dream!
Me too!
Sold plungers at a volcano,
We got a big record deal,
made a trashed up music video,
and broke up!
I was stranded on a desert
island with The Dash.
Yours was worse.
Seems like a tie.
I don't know.
At least it was only
a dream. [sighs]
And by dream I mean total nightmare.
Huh, I guess that movie really got to you.
Hey, if we do get famous one day,
promise we'll never change who we are
of the free smoothies?
Just because
Free?
Deal.
And promise you'll come to my rescue
if I'm lose at sea with The Dash?
I'll put the Navy on speed dial.
Special delivery!
Girls, we're so proud!
Why didn't you tell us?
Wait, was I not dreaming?
Don't worry, you're very awake.
At least, I think you are.
What's up, Dad?
[news reporter] And Handler Arts
Academy has won the award
high school in the country.
For best performing arts
We thought you'd be excited.
Bought you some flowers to celebrate.
And, Dean Morrison sent this over.
She said your Time Square performance
had a lot to do with putting
Handler on the map.
Phew.
[laughter]
[closing theme music playing]
