All the previous
Barbie movies prior to this one were actual movies she made and starred in.
Moreover,
Barbie and the Three Musketeers, and
Barbie in a Mermaid Tale were all mentioned directly (the latter was seen as a poster). For this reason, all the other movies (including this one, mentioned below) likely exist in-universe as well. For this reason...
- Confirmed. Even the trailers for the movies start off with "Barbie stars as…"
This movie is Barbie's directorial debut
This is the first Barbie movie to be credited under "Barbie Entertainment"
note Which is just Mattel Entertainment using a different name. Assuming that the above is in fact accurate
note Which it likely is, and considering the plot, this very movie we're seeing is in fact the first movie that she herself directed. It kind of makes sense
