Having weathered multiple attacks from wokesters and their predecessors, Mattel’s ever-evolving fashion doll returns for another animated adventure in which Ken is left behind and the accent is, inevitably, on ’empowerment’.

In this one, Barbie follows her dreams by leaving Malibu for New York, where she enrols in a school for performing arts and becomes firm friends with . . . another Barbie. This one’s Brooklyn Barbie: a “New York native with an exuberant and infectious personality”.
