For some reason, I like dolls which are portrayed as going to high school (such as Generation Girl, which is my all-time favorite line of Barbie dolls) or in a band (such as Barbie and the Rockers). In 2006, The Barbie Diaries, an animated Barbie film was released and this combined both of my likes! Barbie was in high school with her two friends, Tia and Courtney. Also joining them was Barbie's former best friend and now enemy, Raquelle. Barbie and her friends were in a band, with Barbie playing guitar, Courtney on drums and Tia on keyboard. Barbie found a magic diary, which made her wishes come true, but it didn't work out as she had planned.
A line of dolls was put out to coincide with this movie, which included Barbie, Tia, Courtney and Raquelle. Additional outfits for Barbie, Tia and Courtney were released, but, sadly, not for Raquelle. Also two playsets, the school dance and Barbie's bedroom, were released. The playsets were disguised as pillows.
Barbie was the only doll to come with her instrument. She also came with an amplifier, which played snippets of three songs from the movie and the magic diary, sheets of music and pretend CDs.
