A line of [[{{Animesque}} anime-styled]] fashion dolls created by ex-Creator/{{Mattel}} employee Carter Bryant and produced by MGA Entertainment. Released in 2001, the line did the unthinkable and dethroned Franchise/{{Barbie}} from her spot as the #1 doll line among girls. The ''Bratz'' line features an ethnic rainbow of different characters to choose from.

The dolls' faces and bodies were obviously unnaturally proportioned so that they couldn't promote an unhealthy body image as Barbie is so often accused of, but unfortunately their personalities brought up another controversy as they revolved entirely around make-up and high fashion. They also had much narrower career paths than Barbie, focusing on glamorous occupations like models, pop divas, actresses, make-up artists, hairdressers, fashion designers... well, you get the idea.

The line eventually became popular enough to warrant a bunch of spin-off lines, several animated [[DirectToVideo Direct-To-DVD]] movies, [[WesternAnimation/{{Bratz}} a short-lived cartoon series]], and [[Film/{{Bratz}} a live-action movie]]. They tend to focus on the four main girls; Cloe, Sasha, Yasmin, and Jade, and consistently their 'passion for fashion'.

To elaborate, the Bratz Direct-To-DVD line consists of:

* Mainline
** ''Bratz: Starrin & Stylin''
** ''Bratz Rock Angelz''
** ''Bratz Genie Magic''
** ''Bratz Passion 4 Fashion Diamondz''
** ''Bratz Fashion Pixiez''
** ''Bratz Girlz Really Rock''

** ''Bratz Kidz: Sleepover Adventure''
** ''Bratz Kidz: Fairy Tales''
** ''Bratz Babyz: The Movie''
** ''Bratz Super Babyz''
** ''Bratz Babyz Save Christmas''
* And of course, the infamous live-action movie ''Film/{{Bratz}}'', which some people claim to be the most sexist, racist, elitist movie ever made. [[note]]And yes, this means that the ''Bratz'' line somehow released more [=DVDs=] than ''Barbie'' even though her Direct-To-DVD ventures started earlier.[[/note]]

The line also had a licenced video game line that was surprisingly intriguing (using travel and magazine gameplay as its main focus) and some crappier [[TheProblemWithLicensedGames rushed to coincide with a movie release]] games. Not to forget the two Bratz Ponyz games (the conception of which is complicated, since it was a spin-off of the spin-off Bratz Babyz line, and no, we have no idea what Babyz are ''doing'' with said ponies.)

[[caption-width-right:350:Sadly, some fashionistas ''do'' look a bit like this...]]

->''"The ONLY girls with a passion for fashion."''

A line of [[{{Animesque}} anime-styled]] fashion dolls created by ex-Creator/{{Mattel}} employee Carter Bryant and produced by MGA Entertainment. Released in 2001, the line did the unthinkable and dethroned Franchise/{{Barbie}} from her spot as the #1 doll line among girls. The ''Bratz'' line features an ethnic rainbow of different characters to choose from.

The dolls' faces and bodies were obviously unnaturally proportioned so that they couldn't promote an unhealthy body image as Barbie is so often accused of, but unfortunately their personalities brought up another controversy as they revolved entirely around make-up and high fashion. They also had much narrower career paths than Barbie, focusing on glamorous occupations like models, pop divas, actresses, make-up artists, hairdressers, fashion designers... well, you get the idea.

The line eventually became popular enough to warrant a bunch of spin-off lines, several animated [[DirectToVideo Direct-To-DVD]] movies, [[WesternAnimation/{{Bratz}} a short-lived cartoon series]], and [[Film/{{Bratz}} a live-action movie]]. They tend to focus on the four main girls; Cloe, Sasha, Yasmin, and Jade, and consistently their 'passion for fashion'.

To elaborate, the Bratz Direct-To-DVD line consists of:

* Mainline
** ''Bratz: Starrin & Stylin''
** ''Bratz Rock Angelz''
** ''Bratz Genie Magic''
** ''Bratz Passion 4 Fashion Diamondz''
** ''Bratz Fashion Pixiez''
** ''Bratz Girlz Really Rock''
** ''Bratz Genie Magic 2''
** ''Bratz Pampered Petz''
** ''Toys/Bratzillaz''
** ''Bratz Desert Jewelz''
* Interactive
** ''Livin' It Up!''
** ''Glitz 'N Glamour''
* SpinOffBabies (And Kidz)
** ''Bratz Kidz: Sleepover Adventure''
** ''Bratz Kidz: Fairy Tales''
** ''Bratz Babyz: The Movie''
** ''Bratz Super Babyz''
** ''Bratz Babyz Save Christmas''
* And of course, the infamous live-action movie ''Film/{{Bratz}}'', which some people claim to be the most sexist, racist, elitist movie ever made. [[note]]And yes, this means that the ''Bratz'' line somehow released more [=DVDs=] than ''Barbie'' even though her Direct-To-DVD ventures started earlier.[[/note]]

The line also had a licenced video game line that was surprisingly intriguing (using travel and magazine gameplay as its main focus) and some crappier [[TheProblemWithLicensedGames rushed to coincide with a movie release]] games. Not to forget the two Bratz Ponyz games (the conception of which is complicated, since it was a spin-off of the spin-off Bratz Babyz line, and no, we have no idea what Babyz are ''doing'' with said ponies.)

Due to the somewhat sexual nature of the dolls' designs and clothing, the materialistic nature of the franchise, and the overall poor quality of the cartoon and movies, it is almost universally hated by everyone outside of its target demographic. According to MGA CEO Isaac Larian, only perverts would see anything sexual about the dolls. And then along came the Internet!

In December 2008, Mattel won a copyright lawsuit against MGA that ruled that, since Bryant was still working at Mattel when he created the original dolls, they were Mattel's intellectual property. As a result, [[http://www.thestar.com/business/article/548268 MGA was banned from selling all 40 dolls in the line]]. MGA successfully [[http://www.mgae.com/downloads/pressreleases/MGA%20Statement%20-%20Bratz%20Ruling%207-22-10.pdf appealed the ruling in July 2010 and regained ownership]]. In August, they released updated dolls with wider figures, less make-up, and more modest clothing to celebrate the franchise's 10th anniversary ([[BatmanGambit and so that they can claim they are not the same designs that Mattel claimed ownership of]], but that is neither here nor there.)

In late 2012, the line expanded with ''Toys/{{Bratzillaz}}'', who are not only the cousins of the main cast, but also witches. The line takes obvious cues from ''Harry Potter'', but has mostly been compared to Mattel's ''Monster High'', and with good reason- MGA seems to be doing their best to openly compete with Mattel's juggernaut, with a similar catchphrase ("Glam Gets Wicked", as opposed to "Freaky Just Got Fabulous") and even a Youtube channel that has short "webisodes" and even a live-action music video which has been compared to the Monster High "Fright Song" video. As of 2015, it seems Bratztillaz is a retail failure, as even the original 5 dolls can be purchased for well below original retail cost, the webisodes only received very sporadic updates and new doll releases have been sparse at best since 2013.

----
!!This franchise contains examples of:

%%* AllWomenLoveShoes
* AlternateUniverse:
** After watching the webisodes, one even wonders if Bratzillaz takes place in the same world as the primary Bratz canon... partly because it seems zombies are an accepted part of society here.
** The 2D animated films made prior and during the CGI seem to be like this, as the backstories are different. (eg. Yasmin being a new student and Cloe stating that she and Cameron met at elementary school, despite knowing each other in the first Bratz Babies film)
* AmbiguouslyGay: The only boy in the new official canon (And on the website) at this point is Eitan, and while Cameron, Dylan and various others have been released as dolls under the Bratz Boyz moniker, Eitan is part of the main ensemble-image on the website with the girls.
* ArtisticAge: The characters are only high schoolers but they act and dress a few years older than their official ages.
* AsLongAsItSoundsForeign:
** One of the discontinued characters is a Japanese girl named May Lin. Oops!
** Katia and her father, introduced in ''Bratz: Genie Magic'', is ''obviously'' Russian, according to Cloe's latest blog post, she's now Moroccan (This might be a case of research failure since the fashions in Genie Magic had a slight Moroccan influence).
* BeautyMark: Yasmin, among many of the dolls, has one beneath her left eye.
* BlitheSpirit: No one other than the Bratz in TheMovie had even ''thought'' about ''talking'' to people outside of their cliques, let alone sitting at a different cliques' lunch table, until they came along.
* BlackBestFriend: Sasha to the rest of the Bratz.
* BlondeBrunetteRedhead: Cloe (blonde), Sasha, Jade, and Yasmin (brunettes), and Meygan (redhead).
* {{Bowdlerize}}: The recent comeback has the girls dressing in layers and pastels for no apparent reason. This wouldn't be so bad if they were actually well done, though. All of the make-up is the same now too.
* BrainyBrunette: Jade and Yasmin.
* BrokenAesop:
** The main characters constantly tell the one-shot characters that they should be themselves and follow their own style... right after they give them a makeover or get done gawking at the villains' untrendy LimitedWardrobe.
** In addition, the villains are supposed to reinforce the message that the viewer should be unique and look like nobody else... and yet the main characters and their boyfriends are all recolors of one another. (Yes, that includes their outfits.)
* ColonCancer: Bratz: The Musical: Girlz Really Rock.
* DisproportionateRetribution:
** In ''Bratz Rock Angelz'', after Jade gives [[LeanAndMean Burdine]] a double cheeseburger for lunch, Burdine fires Jade, [[UpToEleven her children and her grandchildren]] from the Your Thing magazine for life and tells her that she'll never work in any magazine from that day onwards.
** Then Jade and the rest of the Bratz fake being employees of ''Your Thing'' and then Byron Powell gets the ''Your Thing'' crew ''kicked out'' of a concert because they're not dressed punk.
* EverythingsBetterWithPrincesses: The [[InNameOnly ''Princess'']] line.
* EverythingsBetterWithSparkles
* EverythingsSparklyWithJewelry
* {{Expy}}:
** Struts, which is ''Bratz'' [[JustForFun/XMeetsY meets]] ''MyLittlePony''.
** Someone also did [[CunningLikeAFox Foxz]], who were even creepier than the Strutz and Bratz put together.
* ExtremelyShortTimespan: ''Bratz Babyz: The Movie'' is set over the course of one day, starting when the babyz wake up in the morning and ending sometime in the afternoon with the karaoke contest. In addition, most of it is set in the mall.
* TheFashionista: Jade, although the slogan implies the whole line is about this.
* FishOutOfWater: Katia the genie from ''Genie Magic''.
* FiveManBand:
** TheLeader: Cloe
** TheLancer: Sasha
** TheSmartGirl: Jade
** TheBigGuy: Meygan
** TheHeart: Yasmin
* FiveTokenBand- There's Cloe the white girl, Sasha the SassyBlackWoman, AsianAndNerdy Jade, and Latina GranolaGirl Yasmin. The fifth person is whatever one-shot character is in that episode/movie/set of dolls.
* FourGirlEnsemble: Cloe is [[NiceGuy sweet]], but dramatic, Sasha is the [[SoulBrotha Soul Sista]] and musician of the group, Jade is the alternative, rebellious [[TheFashionista fashionista]], and Yasmin is the the peacemaking {{Team Mom}}.
* FunWithAcronyms: Let's just hope that this one is unintentional in the case of ''Bratz Rock Angelz''.
%%* GagLips
* GainaxEnding: The last part of ''Bratz Kidz: Sleepover Adventures'' will '''definitely''' leave you pulling your hair. When the Bratz pressure Ginger to make her story scarier, she gets overwhelmed and runs out of the room, prompting the Bratz to try and look for her so they can apologize. Sounds simple enough, right? Well, they can't find her or her parents anywhere, and it turns [[spoiler: out the house is abandoned and heavily implied to be haunted. The Bratz then run out of the house to discover the characters from their stories[[note]]The doppelganger from Sasha's story, the dog from Chloe's, the Ride Operator from Jade's...[[/note]] have become real. ''Then'' when they try to go to their own houses, '''Ginger and her parents are at the door, repeating the words they said before the sleep-over began'''. The Bratz are understandably terrified and flee each time they see this, but when they go to Sasha's house Ginger's family is scared by their presence, and it turns out that the Bratz have inexplicably become the monsters from Jade's story. The Bratz are unaware of this, ''despite literally being able to see each other in their new forms'', while having monstrous quirks in their brain like wanting to eat bugs or sleeping in the sewers, the latter they decide to do.]] And that's it. No explanation to ''how or why the'' '''''heck''''' ''it happened.''
* GirlPosse: Quinn and Avery, Meredith's yes men.
* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: Cloe fits many of the criteria - young, beautiful and generally sweet if dramatic.
%%* HighSchool
* HollywoodNerd: Dexter and the rest of the "Nerd" clique in TheMovie.
* HormoneAddledTeenager: In TheMovie, of the 'obsessed with fashion' flavor first and foremost, with a side-order of boy-crazy.
* InformedFlaw:
** In ''The Movie'', Cloe is supposed to be clumsy. But that doesn't stop her from being the best soccer player on the school's team, capable of pulling off moves that only professional players can do. Her clumsiness even gets the girls into the situation where they make up and become friends again and lets her spend time with her crush.
** In one of the animated movies, Jade is publicly humiliated at school when word got out about her fashion ''disaster''... which was... a pretty cute and unique outfit. despite the fact that there didn't seem to be ''any'' thing wrong with it, all of her friends say that it looks terrible. Instead she happily chooses to wear a generic yellow dress identical to the other ones everyone else wore to the dance, and happily declares that she finally got her individual fashion sense back.
* InsultBackfire: In both ''Rock Angelz'' and the live-action movie, the girls get the idea for their group's name from a mean girl calling them "brats." It's much more subtle in ''Rock Angelz'' than in ''Bratz: The Movie''.
* LiveActionAdaptation: ''Bratz: The Movie'', which was nominated for several Razzies (including "Worst Movie"), and was described by one reviewer as "the reason why terrorists hate [America]."
* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters Forty plus. The comeback outdoes this, adding new characters in almost every line.
* LoveMakesYouCrazy: Cloe in Rock Angelz with the ninth duke of lessex.
* MakeWayForThePrincess: Both Meredith ''and'' the Bratz do this in ''The Movie''.
* MerchandiseDriven
* TheMovie: Cleverly named ''Bratz: [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin The Movie]]''.
* MyBelovedSmother: Cloe has one of these in Rock Angelz, after which we [[PutOnABus never hear from her again]].
* NegativeContinuity: In ''Rock Angelz'' Cloe tells us that she met Cameron in second grade, but we see Cloe and Cameron have a skate contest as Babyz in the Babyz movie. Though as stated in Alternate Universe above, the canon from the 2D films are not connected with the CGI ones.
* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: [[Series/AmericanIdol Byron]] [[Series/TheXFactor Powell]], [[Creator/ParisHilton London Milton]], [[Music/{{Beyonce}} Allonce]]... don't forget [[Music/JenniferLopez Lo-J]].
* TheNoseless: Whether or not the characters have a nose changes from scene to scene in their cartoons.
* OnlyOneFemaleMold: Not only for the dolls, but also in the cartoon. To the point that when one of the male characters disguises himself as a girl, he has ''exactly'' the same body shape as the female characters.
* OnlySixFaces: There are currently only two face molds.
* OnlySaneMan: Yasmin.
* OriginsEpisode: ''Rock Angelz'' to the television series, as it explains how the main characters started their own magazine company and met Byron Powell.
* OverlyLongName: Bratz Passion For Fashion Diamondz
* ThePowerOfFriendship (''and'' fashion!)
* PrettyInMink: Some fur coats, as their outfits are often influence by hip hop culture.
* RapunzelHair: Most of the dolls.
* RichBitch: Meredith Dimly from TheMovie.
* SeriesFranchise
* SpinoffBabies: ''Lil' Bratz'', ''Bratz Babyz'', ''Bratz Boyz'', ''Bratz Kidz'', ''Bratz Petz''...
* {{Stripperiffic}}:
** The dolls have been accused of being this, with some degree of truth. Due to what might or might not be unfortunate tailoring (scale doll clothes have to suffer the same rules of material and tailoring as full size clothes- the scale is 1:6 but not the materials), there have even been Bratz dolls with pronounced camel toe.
** MGA seems to be trying to change this with the new dolls, who are much more covered.
* TakeThat:
** Burdine, the Tweevils, and Meredith all have blonde hair, blue eyes, and are always shown [[PrincessesPreferPink wearing the color pink]]. Burdine also reminds Kaycee of "that fashion doll" Kirstee used to hit her with when they were 3. [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything Hmm...]]
** Subverted with Cloe, she has blonde hair and blue eyes, but she ''doesn't'' wear pink.
** Both Pretty in Punk ads have the line [[{{Franchise/Barbie}} "Not Pink]], [[DarkerAndEdgier Punk!"]]
* TamerAndChaster: The ''Bratz'' dolls were always controversial for being too sexualized and mature for their target audience of 9-12 year olds. In the 2010s, the series attempted to retool itself with a more G rated image. Gone was the emphasis on fashion, the dolls were now about creativity and taking selfies. This turned the title of the series into a bit of TheArtifact as the girls were no longer "bratty". The reboot ended up bombing. They also created the Bratzillaz line of dolls, which were cuter in style but were "creepy" dolls [[FollowTheLeader based on]] ''Toys/MonsterHigh''.
* ThemeTwinNaming:
** Kirstee/Kaycee, Orianna/Valentina/Siernna, Nita/Nora
** Subverted with the Toola Twins as their first names have yet to be revealed.
* [[ThoseTwoBadGuys Those Two Bad Girls]]: The Tweevils.
%%* TotallyRadical
%%* TrueCompanions
* UnlimitedWardrobe:
** Hence the tagline.
** Interesting note about the cartoons: While they do change clothes, they all have a set of different outfits that they rotate in and out of. And they're all essentially recolors of one another. All four girls will usually wear the same style of outfit, ironically...
** This might have been HilariousInHindsight when you realize most of the new dolls are wearing the same type of outfits.
* VisualGag: The first movie was full of this.
* WakeupMakeup: ''The first scene'' of the movie. Their hair is even perfectly straight too.
* XtremeKoolLetterz:
** Pretty much all the names of the dolls. Examples: Meygan, Roxxi, Breeana. Also, the Twiinz line. [[http://www.amazon.com/MGA-Bratz-Twiinz-Collector-Dolls/dp/B0001Y6IIS I'm serious.]]
** Not to mention, ''Brat'''z'''''.
** [[http://bratz.com BRATZ R BAK!]]
* YouCanPanicNow: Every few years or so, someone starts a panic saying that the toyline is teaching girls to dress like hookers or that beauty is everything in life. The franchise doesn't exactly present its supposed Aesops (individuality and self-confidence) in the best light.
* [[YouKilledMyFather You Killed My Parents]]: In ''Dream Jewelz''.
