Mattel, Inc (NASDAQ: MAT) announced Barbie Mysteries: The Great Horse Chase, Mattel Television Studios’ all-new animated children’s series, will debut globally on Netflix this fall. Featuring an all-new animation style and storyline, Barbie Mysteries: The Great Horse Chase will consist of eight 25-minute episodes.
Barbie Mysteries: The Great Horse Chase follows Barbie “Brooklyn” Roberts and Barbie “Malibu” Roberts as they embark on a new adventure vacation of a lifetime: a trip to the English countryside to visit Lady Carson, Ken’s aunt and owner of cherished horses Tornado and Pepper. Before Barbie and Barbie can take in the sights, their plans are immediately derailed by the brazen theft of the prized jumping horses and a diamond-encrusted saddle worth millions of dollars. Suddenly, everyone is a suspect. To clear their names and rescue the beloved horses, Barbie and Barbie embark on a journey across Europe, chasing clues and suspects to reclaim what was stolen and save the day. Jam packed with mystery, intrigue, and horses, kids and parents alike are sure to love Barbie’s newest adventure.
In anticipation of the animated series launch, Mattel will stir up some fun this summer with an offering of new toys inspired by the series. The line includes the Dance & Show Horse, the Barbie “Malibu” Riding Doll, and the Barbie “Brooklyn” Riding Doll. All items are sold separately.
