Mattel, Inc has announced that Barbie, Stacie and friends are returning for an all-new journey in Barbie and Stacie to the Rescue. Coming to Netflix March 14, the hour-long special will follow Barbie’s middle sister, Stacie, as she quickly comes to the rescue of Barbie and Skipper. Barbie and Stacie to the Rescue marks the first time Stacie plays a lead role in Barbie content and includes five new original songs, new friends, and more puppies than ever.
In Barbie and Stacie to the Rescue, audiences will soar to new heights with Barbie and Stacie as they embark on the adventure of a lifetime. Confident and adventurous, Stacie finds herself caught in the middle when the Roberts family heads to Wisconsin for a hot air balloon festival where she is too young for adult activities, yet too old to play with the little kids. But, when her older sisters Barbie and Skipper find themselves in trouble, Stacie finds she has the right skills to save the day.
“Our animated Barbie content is developed to both empower and entertain,” said Michelle Mendelovitz, Global Head of Mattel Television Studios. “By placing Stacie at the center of the story, Barbie and Stacie to the Rescue provides audiences with a new heroine in Stacie and an entirely new perspective on the Barbie universe. We cannot wait to share this fun-spirited special with Barbie fans.”
The latest installment of Mattel’s animated Barbie content follows 2023’s fan-favorite series Barbie: A Touch of Magic as well as other successful titles including Barbie: It Takes Two, Barbie: Epic Road Trip, Barbie: Mermaid Power, Barbie DreamHouse Adventures, plus many more. Mattel Television Studios’ family-friendly series and specials allow fans of all ages to feel the imagination and fun of Barbie while instilling messages of friendship, discovery, and kindness.
