This just in: Mattel is uploading all of the classic Barbie movies to YouTube for free!

Listen, I'm a 27-year-old woman who grew up with a boxy television and a rocky connection to the internet, which means that I absolutely grew up on the classic Barbie movies.

I watched them all, like Barbie and the Nutcracker, Barbie as Rapunzel, Barbie: Fairytopia, and my absolute favorite: Barbie as the Princess and the Pauper. These were my comfort movies; I would watch them every time I stayed home sick, I performed all the songs in my living room, and dreamed about what life would be like to live in Barbie's world. I truly hold so much love in my heart for these classics.

Which is why I got so excited when I saw Mattel's announcement. Now, don't get me wrong, I still have all my DVDs with my favorite Barbie movies, which I kept in the best shape for whenever I want a fun little blast from the past. But knowing that soon all these sweet movies will be available for free on YouTube is so comforting. I will be able to watch them whenever and wherever I want.

So, to celebrate this magical news, I decided to collect some of my favorite Barbie memes, showcasing the best of Barbie, whether it is through her classic movies, the physical dolls, or as the incredible Margot Robbie. If you are as excited as I am, please scroll down to enjoy them!

Full disclosure: I am listening to Barbie: The Princess and the Pauper soundtrack right this moment, which has the best music out of any of the Barbie movies in my opinion, so I am truly engulfed in the Barbie world at the moment, and I am loving every second of it.
Life is worth living!
