''Barbie: Video Game Hero'' is a movie in the Franchise/{{Barbie}} series. It was released in January 2017.

* ScrewySquirrel: Level 2 has virus-infected squirrels attack Crystal's tree house, changing the objective of the game.

* MultiColoredHair: Barbie's video game form and all of the characters in the game (except for Crystal) have multi-colored hair. Gaia's doll was even named "Multi-Color Hair Doll"

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: All of the humanoid game characters.

* RapunzelHair: As an anime character, Barbie’s hair is so long that it reaches her calves.

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: All of the characters in the game have colorful hair. Although Barbie's video game form and Kris both have blond hair with colored highlights in the front.

* UnwinnableByDesign: The bonus level is designed to be unwinnable, as Gaia and Maia are programmed to go at super speed and always win. Barbie wins by essentially hacking the game, though considering that she did so using nothing but what she obtained in the game the method she used is likely the correct way to win the bonus level.

When Barbie magically gets pulled into her favorite video game, she is excited to see she's transformed into a fun roller-skating character. In the game, she meets Cutie, the lovable cloud-shaped friend, and Bella, the roller-skating princess.

Together, they soon discover that a mischievous virus is trying to take control of the game. As they travel from level to level, Barbie must rely on her amazing gaming skills and out-of-the box thinking to save her team and beat the game.

* CluelessAesop: The moral message of the movie is that you shouldn't let yourself feel confined to one path and think outside the box. This is all well and good in general and for Barbie, who gets the means to basically code a whole new game from the inside by the end of it. In real video games... you kind of do have to stay within the confines of whatever limits the programmers put in. To do otherwise is going outside the rules of the game, and going outside the rules of a game is cheating, which is [[FamilyUnfriendlyAesop not such a good message for a kids' movie to have]]. Basically good message, but bad choice of medium.
** Somewhat negated by how Barbie as a ''player'' plays by the rules of each game to win (except in the final battle, where she's essentially playing a glitched-out game) and the fact that Barbie applies what she learnt to programming ''her own game'' to not have such a linear path. That is, she is the one setting those limits and makes the rules.

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: All of the characters in the game have colored hair. Although Barbie's video game form and Kris both have blond hair with colored highlights in the front.
