Depressed Barbie Sketch - Evan Kenji Sasaki DEPRESSED BARBIE SKETCH - EVAN KENJI SASAKI INT. CHILDREN’S PLAY ROOM - DAY Two little girls and a little boy sit in the center of a picturesque play room. It’s bright and pink. Sunshine pours in from the window. The kids are playing with Barbie dolls, but they look a little bored. VOICE OVER New, from Mattel! You’ve seen Barbie be a doctor. You’ve seen her be a beauty queen. For Barbie’s next adventure, she really just wants to be alone for a while. (beat) Introducing... Depressed Barbie! The kids seem half excited, and half confused. INT. DOLLHOUSE - CONTINUOUS Barbie is under the covers of her bed. It’s a dark, dreary room in a dollhouse, full of dollhouse-sized pizza boxes, used tissues, and piles of trash. The only source of light is a small TV with a Netflix menu on it. The covers slowly pull back to reveal Depressed Barbie, in old pajama bottoms and an oversized t-shirt. Depressed Barbie looks like a regular Barbie doll, but with a messy bun, no make up, and a blank scowl. VOICE OVER Depressed Barbie comes complete with ratty sweatpants and a t-shirt that her ex-boyfriend left at her apartment. If you want to change her outfit, I mean, why bother? Depressed Barbie goes back to sleep. C.U. DOLLHOUSE TABLE - CONTINUOUS Several little accessories are spread out on a table. 2. VOICE OVER The fun doesn’t stop there! Depressed Barbie also includes a number of fun accessories, like a cheap bottle of chardonnay, a carton of ice cream, and a pack of cigarettes, because they just take the edge off a little, you know? INT. CHILDREN'S PLAY ROOM - CONTINUOUS CURLY-HAIRED GIRL Huh? Isn’t smoking bad? VOICE OVER Give Barbie a break, okay? She has like two hundred jobs. Can’t she just do her own thing for a while? It’s like you always want her to be “on” or something. CURLY-HAIRED GIRL Geez, sorry. BOY I’ll play with you Depressed Barbie. VOICE OVER (testy) Oh, you’ll “play with her”? Why don’t you try respecting her? BOY Sorry, do you want me to go? VOICE OVER No. BOY Maybe it’d help if Barbie talked to a therapist or something. VOICE OVER STOP TRYING TO FIX THIS TYLER! INT. DOLLHOUSE - CONTINUOUS Barbie is in bed. The doorbell rings. 3. VOICE OVER Who’s that? I know, what Barbie set would be complete without Ken? The door opens. VOICE OVER (CONT’D) Introducing Food Delivery Ken! Ken looks depressed too. He’s wearing a drab grey hoodie and a pair of soccer pants. The Ken doll hands the Barbie doll a plastic bag full of takeout boxes. The door closes. INT. CHILDREN'S PLAY ROOM - CONTINUOUS GIRL WITH GLASSES Wait, he just delivers the food and leaves? CURLY-HAIRED GIRL Sounds lonely. VOICE OVER Well there’s no need to worry about that because every Depressed Barbie also comes with Snookums the cat! A plastic tabby appears on Barbie’s bed. GIRL WITH GLASSES Cool! VOICE OVER And Fifi the cat! A plastic siamese appears on Barbie’s bed. VOICE OVER (CONT’D) And Goonie and Bon Bon and Coco! Three more plastic cats appear on the bed. GIRL WITH GLASSES Cool? CURLY-HAIRED GIRL That’s a lot of cats. 4. VOICE OVER (sobbing) Sorry, it’s just like, all the other Barbies have like, Corvettes, and dream houses, and like, what do I have, huh? A Netflix subscription? The kids just sit there, unsure of what to say. INT. DOLLHOUSE - CONTINUOUS Depressed Barbie and Food Delivery Ken, along with all their accessories, are spread out on a small table. VOICE OVER (singing) Depressed Barbie, the one with the frown. Depressed Barbie, just sorta hanging around. Depressed Barbie, she had a breakdown! (beat) Wellbutrin not included. THE END..

  • The Barbie Phenomenon in Japan
    THE BARBIE PHENOMENON IN JAPAN Arisa Shibagaki A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS August 2007 Committee: Marilyn F. Motz, Advisor Esther Clinton © 2007 Arisa Shibagaki All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Marilyn F. Motz, Advisor This research examines the popularity of Barbie among young adult Japanese women as the “Barbie phenomenon” in Japan. By investigating the historical and cultural aspects of Japanese values of beauty, the author found that the phenomenon emerged from the combination of the values of kawaii (Japanese cuteness) and kakkoii (Japanese coolness). Kawaii is the traditional positive feeling for small and delicate things, and in modern society its meaning extends into popular characters and fashion. Kawaii fashion is usually considered to use lace, ribbon, and frilly materials and colors of pink, white, and pastels. On the other hand, the English- language word “cool” is usually translated into kakkoii (かっこいい), which means that people’s appearance is attractive, and its meaning also extends into people’s behavior and fashion in modern society. Kakkoii behavior is masculine and independent; the colors of black, blue, and khaki and plain materials are usually used in kakkoii fashion. In fact, “Kakkoii” is different from American “cool,” which is a word used for not only an attractive appearance but also individuality and a sense of belonging; however, the words “kakkoii” and “cool” are used without regard for such a difference in Japan. In women’s fashion magazines, both “kawaii” and “cool” are the common key words.

  • The Barbie Case
    The Barbie® Case Introduction When on October 11, 2005, Neil B. Friedman was promoted from his position as head of the successful Fisher-Price® division to become the President of the combined operations of the merged Mattel® and Fisher-Price® units, he might have considered this promotion to be a daunting task to take on. At the start of this job as the President of the Mattel® Brands Division, the sales of Barbie®, Mattel®'s signature doll and profit engine, which account for an estimated 251 to 35%2 of Mattel®'s sales had fallen for seven straight quarters on a year-to-year basis.3 Barbie®'s global third-quarter sales in 2005 were down 18% from the previous year, and U.S. sales decreased 30%. This decrease in sales affected Mattel®'s overall performance as shares tumbled to their lowest point in four years. 4 The toy industry overall was struggling, with sales down 5.3% through the first nine months. U.S. retail sales of dolls fell 6% in that period, according to market researcher NPD Group. Analysts believe the slide will continue as more kids choose video games and digital-music players over action figures and board games.5 In addition, Friedman was confronted with an anti-Barbie climate with campaigns challenging Barbie®’s beauty ideal launched by The Body Shop and more recent ones by Dove® and Nike® as well as a tradition of Mattel losing legal battles time and again against artists who parodied Barbie®. 1 The Barbie® Case 1.

  • Inside out Toy Story 3
    Inside Out Toy Story 3 WORKSHEET A Toy Story 3 , the third and final film in the series that began with Toy Story in 1995 and continued in 1999 with Toy Story 2 , recently arrived in cinemas in dozens of countries around the world. It has already been a success. In the United States, for example, it has already taken more money at the box office than any other film in 2010. Worldwide, Alice in Wonderland is the only film that more people have paid to watch at the cinema so far in 2010. Like the first two films, Toy Story 3 is an animation from the Pixar studios, whose other films include Finding Nemo (2003), Wall-E (2008) and Up (2009). It is a typical Pixar animation because it is for adults as well as children, and has a lot of humour. Most of the main characters in the first two films were children’s toys that come to life when humans are not around, and in Toy Story 3 all of them are present again – such as Woody the cowboy, Jessie the cowgirl, Buzz Lightyear the astronaut, Slinky Dog, Hamm the piggy bank, and the dolls Ken and Barbie. The voices of most of the toys are also mostly the same as before: Woody’s, for example, is again provided by the famous American actor Tom Hanks. The main human character in the Toy Story films is Andy, the owner of most of the toys. He was a small boy in the first film, but now he is 17 and about to leave home to go to university.
