Bratz Babyz

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Bratz Babyz is a brand name under which a series of dolls are made.

It is a subset of the main Bratz line in which all of the dolls are babies. The brand is split into two lines, the regular Bratz Babyz and the Bratz Big Babyz (which include a "birth certificate" and other accessories).

[edit] Bratz Babyz

In 2004, the first Bratz Babyz were made. The babyz were Cloe, Sasha, Jade and Yasmin (the first Bratz.) The dolls came with a changing bag, a nap blanket, bottle on a chain and a pet based on the girls nicknames (e.g. Sasha's nickname is Bunny Boo, so she has a bunny.) Later on, in 2005, Meygan, Fianna, Cameron and Dana join the Bratz Babyz group.

In 2005, they released the 'Hair Flair' collection. Instead of having plastic hair, the dolls had real hair like regular Bratz dolls. Of course, this hair could not come off.

Itsy Bitsy Bratz are the smallest version of Bratz Babyz. They can be called Micro Bratz

[edit] Controversy

The Bratz Babyz have been the target of complaints from some parents about the sexualization of children's toys, especially the "Babyz Night Out" fashion pack, the "Brattoo Parlor" playset, and the fact that the Big Babyz wear something under their skirts that looks like a thong (which actually serves the functional purpose of keeping the skirt from riding up and over the doll's hips).

[edit] Alleged Profanity

On Christmas Day 2006, Miami resident Kristina Acre received the Jade Singing Bratz doll as a gift from Santa Claus. According to her father, Luis Acre, Kristina made him aware of that the doll was saying "lots of bad words". According to Luis Acre these include "the f- and b-words". [1] Later MGA Entertainment responded on their website about the report. The actual lyrics, which do not contain profanity, are posted on the Bratz.com website in the Videos & Music section under Bratz Babyz The Movie - Music.

[edit] Bratz Babyz: The Movie (2006)

In September 2006, Bratz Babyz: The Movie was released Direct-to-DVD. The twin bratz babyz, Nita and Nora get ready to join Cloe, Jade, Sasha and Yasmin at the daycare center in the mall. Snappy, Nita's puppy jumps into Nora's bag while she isn't looking, and hurrying to keep up with Nita, she rushes out without knowing Snappy is in her bag. Once at the daycare center Snappy gets out and escapes into the mall. The babyz escape too and find Snappy has been dognapped by Duane, the mall bully. He wants $50 from the bratz babyz if they ever want to see Snappy again. They all have different ideas, and Jade, Cloe and Nora try to get Snappy back one way, and Sasha, Yasmin and Nita try to get her back another. When time starts to run out, they decide the only way to get $50 is for Nora to win it in the kareoke contest. The babyz learn to team up and overcome the bully, and get the puppy back. The collection was made up of a lot of dolls. First of all, in the regular Babyz collection, there were Babyz Lil' Dancers. These dolls danced when you clapped your hands, played music, tapped or snapped, or pressed the button on the stand. They also had a concert stage that played music from the movie. In Big Babyz, they had Dancing and Singing Karaoke Babyz. These dolls came with a Karaoke machine that played all 5 songs from the Babyz Movie. A redhead, green eyed skateboarding boy also was released, named Harvey. It was his first appearance. A video game of the movie was released for PC and GameBoy Advance (not yet released).
