Their skills get the attention of Auntie Zoe's spy agency, and the girls are soon recruited to help catch a wily cat burglar who's eluded every other agent so far. By working together, the girls must stop her before she steals enough gems to power a doomsday machine! Like Franchise/JamesBond, WesternAnimation/TotallySpies and Series/CharliesAngels but with Barbie. |

10 | !!This movie contains examples of: |
11 | * BadassLongcoat: Barbie and her friends sometimes wear them while on the job. They're brighter and more colorful than most examples of the trope. |
12 | * BigBad: Since the cat burglar is a hired thief, whoever hired her is the real main villain. [[spoiler:It turns out to be Agent Dunbar.]] |
13 | * BigBadFriend: [[spoiler:Agent Dunbar, who trained the girls, hired their classmate Patricia to steal the gems.]] |
14 | * CatGirl: The cat burglar wears a cat ear headband. |
15 | * ClassyCatBurglar: One of these is a villain; she appears to be the same age as Barbie and her friends [[spoiler:and turns out to be their classmate Patricia]]. |
16 | * DisproportionateRetribution: [[spoiler:Agent Dunbar becomes a villain all because he didn't get the promotion he wanted.]] |
17 | * DoomsdayDevice: The burglar's hired to steal gems to power one of these. |
18 | * TheDragon: The cat burglar, who's eluded every other agent so far. |
19 | * HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler:Once exposed as Patricia, the cat burglar switches sides and helps Barbie and her friends.]] |
20 | * HighlyVisibleNinja: Both the girls and the cat burglar wear brightly colored clothes while in the dark. |
21 | * IShallReturn: [[spoiler: After he was defeated, Agent Dunbar swore they haven't seen the last of him.]] |
22 | * LandmarkingTheHiddenBase: The spy agency's base is hidden beneath the Hollywood Sign. |
23 | * LeotardOfPower: As you would expect from a team of high school gymnasts. |
24 | * LighterAndSofter: Compared to other SpyFiction stories that tend to be about betrayal, among other things[[note]]Indeed, this one stresses the importance of teamwork, versus other stories that tend to have the main characters trusting no one (or in some cases very few).[[/note]]. Although the agency in this story does have a traitor: [[spoiler:Agent Dunbar]] |
25 | * MultinationalTeam: Barbie is American, Teresa is confirmed to be Latina and Renee is Japanese American. |
26 | * MythologyGag: The disguise selector contains many dresses and outfits from previous ''Barbie'' films, including [[WesternAnimation/BarbieAndTheSecretDoor Alexa's colorful dress, Nori's fairy dress]], [[WesternAnimation/BarbieInPrincessPower Corrinne and Kara's dresses and superhero outfits]], and [[WesternAnimation/BarbieInTheNutcracker Clara's Nutcracker dress]]. |
27 | * PassionateSportsGirl: Barbie and her friends are proud of being gymnasts and ''very'' good at it, which is what catches Zoe's eye. |
28 | * TheReveal: [[spoiler:Auntie Zoe has known all along Agent Dunbar was the one who hired the cat burglar. She was likely waiting for him to expose himself to the trio.]] |
29 | * ShipTease: Teresa & Lazlo |
30 | * ShockingVoiceIdentityReveal: Barbie, Teresa, and Renee are flabbergasted when the apparently American Auntie Zoe reveals herself to be a British secret agent. |
31 | -->'''Renee:''' Wait, back up. So... how long have you been ''British''? |
32 | * SpiritualSuccessor: The movie has many similarities to ''WesternAnimation/TotallySpies''. |
33 | * SpyFiction: This is a more lighthearted take on the genre. |
34 | * TakeOverTheWorld: [[spoiler:At first, Agent Dunbar became a villain to exact revenge but, once he stopped to think about the power of the doomsday device he assembled, he had a change of mind.]] |
35 | * TeamPet: Percy and Violet, a robot dog and cat pair who help out the agents on their missions. |
36 | * ToylessToylineCharacter: Averted for the second time in the series; the cat burglar is the second Barbie villain (the first was [[WesternAnimation/BarbieAndTheSecretDoor Malucia]]) to get [[http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/barbie-movies/images/9/9d/Spy_Squad_Cat_Burglar_Doll_1.png her own doll]]. [[spoiler:Played straight with the ''real'' main villain, Agent Dunbar, who lacks a toy.]] |
