Truth is, I don't recall Bratz and Barbie ever affecting my self-image and self-esteem. But the perfectly-styled pop stars on TV and airbrushed models in magazines? They sure did. The problem isn't with the dolls, it's with our society.
Erika Photoshop in magazines seems like it would be way more confusing to children than the proportions of plastic toys.
Idk where they get the idea that we are insecure of barbie like all I remember was I was just having fun playing
GAE FOR IRENE BAE Fr I don’t get it , never ever thought about having the same body like a doll😂
Erika Honest to god tho, it was the people on TV. I knew the toys were toys and payed no mind to them and just used them for playing. The magazines and internet were what got me insecure.
A big chunk of kids are aware that toys aren't real life. They know it's all make believe. It rarely influences them in the way parents think they get influenced. It's true, if anything will influence kids, it's the REAL life celebrities. Because they know those are real people so it must be ok to be like them more.
As a black girl, I really appreciated that they had a dark skin doll. Bratz dolls were appealing because of the diversity, every girl would feel included.
same, i loved bratz because i’m mexican and yasmin was always my fav because she looked like me
Literally, the only dolls I liked
@@C00chalina Omg I am also Mexican and same, Yasmin really spoke to me!
they were way ahead of their time. everybody just haters!
Yasmin for me because I’m Arab and it was so cool to have that representation growing up...
They had Asian, Hispanic, black and white dolls. It was kind of revolutionary in my country to see toys and people of colour, since the borders were practically closed until 1990s.
Also for tomboy me, a doll that wore classic jeans won for me instead of pink skirts.
yes but too much cosmetic they are like: uh huh! no no! **CHEWS GUM AGGRESSIVELY** no way!! thats unfair uh mah god!
i-i mean u can tell already-
@@that_one_brunette6536 they never did that in the show LOL that sounds more like the behavior of the evil twin antagonists in the cartoons.
@@triplehearts914 right 💀
Barbies minorities character are like her puppies following her around and they hella whitewashed
The last part 👏👏
Things I love about Bratz:
-Their 2002 aesthetic
-Their big lips and big feet
-Their great songs
Not all their songs.
I dont like that they're all underweight
@@zippy3253 okay but I can't deny that So Good slaps
I hate there lips they scare me

I related to bratz more, they were so diverse and weren’t just white girls wearing pink
Marcelle barely. The black barbies still had pink preppy clothing.
Marcelle I had like one black Barbie because they barely had any
Marcelle Not until years later, bratz debut with a black doll.
The Oreo Barbie was very controversial for some obvious reasons.
@@uhnye they do in my stores there are many
People seem to not notice that the Bratz were suppose to be the Anti-Barbie, showing girls that you don't have to be pink and preppy to be pretty. Beauty come in different styles and every clothing trend is fashionable in its own way. Whether it was being glamorous, tomboyish, goth, or just casual the Bratz showed that anything can make you look pretty. It's all about expressing yourself for who you are. That's what I love about the Bratz is that they thought me to be my own stylish self.
Yeah the barbie dolls were too.... wannabe white christian housewife? Brazil actually catered to its audience rather than their parents
@@GeeseAreJustBastardizedSwans Lmao I know it's a typo but "Brazil" 😂
@@frostbitegaming3289 so we arent talking about the Brazil and Barbados football match?
period!
YESSSSSSSSS, it was about confidence and self expression!!
I am a Hispanic girl. I was born and raised in the literal projects of Brooklyn New York where everything was dirty and mucky, but if there was one thing it had, was diversity. There were so many Hispanics, African Americans, and Asians that lived in my neighborhood and growing up I never liked Barbie because of the fact that she didn’t seem like a doll I could relate to. But when I was able to obtain a bratz doll I fell in love. The Yasmin doll looked just like my sister and myself, so it really felt like a doll line that represented Me. I loved those dolls and still do love them. They were some of the only toy lines that catered to something that wasn’t basic white girl who wears pink and gets everything she wants.
Well there is Teresa but it took a while for her to come
Exactly
Bratz never affected me negatively, whereas Barbies had me wondering why I didn't have straight, long blond hair sometimes, honestly. Like, I liked barbie as a kid, but I was one of those kids who noticed things sometimes, and I noticed I wasn't like white, blond, blue-eyed barbie a bit later. Bratz made me happy about being black and in my struggle with conforming to certain styles, Bratz was always switching it up.
Yes and playing with barbies was so boring
@@sheskawaii myscene seemed cool and made barbie a human gasp
As a black girl, I loved bratz dolls cause I had more in common with them than Barbie dolls. I can even name most of the girls, Yasmin, Jade, Chloe and Sasha! Yee
Rodrigo Gonzalez As another black girl, I had plenty of white dolls and I loved them too but at some point when you don’t see your own skin color in stores you start to think that maybe you don’t see it because it’s somehow unappealing, kids aren’t stupid they make connections eventually.
@@Rodrigo13Solario representation is important. what's wrong with a little girl wanting a doll that looks like her.
As someone who lives in Balkans, where everyone is white, Sasha was the first POC I ever saw
@@Rodrigo13Solario it's not that don't like it, it's that they want a doll that looks like them once in a while. no one wants to see the same old white, blue eyed blonde doll 24/7 it makes kids think that because they don't have that skin color that they aren't pretty enough. that's why representation is important. there's nothing wrong with wanting a doll that looks like you.
Cloe** My favorite are HANDS DOWN Sasha and Jade!!
Whoever said those Bratz Dolls look "too sexy" are Karens.
Yup white women pressed because they could never
Aday G, fr they were just mad because the dolls look better than them 😹
white moms
@@Shiningstarbrightaf Just looked that Lol Dolls up, they look like Betty Boop thrown into some buckets of paint, wtf
EXACTLY, they don't get the word fashion
Whoever said that the Bratz dolls are "too sexy" are just jealous that an inanimate object looks prettier than them.
whoever says that are insecure about their self image, social media ruin many things for ppl self esteems...
@Sinner saved by Grace exactly. We are more than just our bodies. Like, a person could just get crippled out of nowhere
I remember those toddler/kids bratz movies like the sleepover one that gave me nightmares and the super bratz baby one.
You know the end of the sleepover movie and at the end they all ended up being monsters or something 😭😭
As a kid that was one of my fav
the god damn clown one omfg, i had nightmares.
SAMEEEE
@@sommungchisblinkifyoureate6307 same
The reason Bratz dolls were so popular was purely because of their fashion, it was ahead of it’s time and more detailed than any other doll line
Stef Dems it’s funny because they predicted the fashion trend. Everyone is wearing crop tops and mini shorts
4mecrazy who would’ve guess bratz would be fashion prophets 😅
lisa frank Yes!
the best!!!
and diversity
I think the major appeal of Bratz was that they reflected fashion and trends of the day. I think people tend to forget that kids aren’t stupid of course they want to play with dolls who wear things that they see in the world. People also forget that Barbie was controversial when she first came out because she had a figure and wore fashions a young adult would. It’s all just pretend play ya know?
Also forget that lol do look like literal children and wear more skimpy clothes than a stripper on a friday
@ran ran And no parent says "hey wtf?". Honestly double standards. Can't handle goths but yes little girls with marked genitalia?
Dcs Cruz I had tons, both girls and boys and they were always smooth. May I ask for a link? Also I feel like ‘stripper’ is a bit of an exaggeration. If you look at teen magazines from the time the outfits are pretty similar.
I personally never saw the appeal. Then again, I was never into dolls when I was a kid. I was always weirded out by their freakishly huge lips- they looked like Kylie Jenner had gotten her mouth caught in a vacuum cleaner.
ran ran Oh my bad also that’s certainly...interesting. Is this what getting old feels like? Lol
Its kinda weird that the only doll line that had a lot of non-white/ethnically ambiguous characters were sexualised. As if POC are only acceptable if they are sexually attractive.
I grew up in India where ads for skin bleaching creams were totally fine btw and even though I appreciated the Bratz dolls had skin colour similar to mine I still felt like they weren't they weren't fleshed out like Barbie dolls were. I muchh preferred the Alexa doll from the Barbie and the diamond castle movie. Still have it on my dresser lol.
Were Bratz dolls sold in India?
oh my
she pretty and white so why alexa?;(
As a little black girl, I related to them a lot, to be honest, they kinda looked like me in every other movie or show I watch animated they where white and wearing "pretty colors" the movies where pretty interesting I still watch them till this day i feel most people didn't like it because they where "Different"
Children aren’t that deep.
We want pretty dolls to play with. They’re just dolls.
Yup!
Literally 😐 I had these when I was a child and had no idea about the controversy and nothimg about them "influenced" me negatively. They were just so much more interesting than barbie (although I still loved Barbie)
Yes, everyone would fight for the prettiest dolls
Exactly 😂 we weren't so worried about all that body image stuff when we were younger as we are now
Ikr lmao
You have to have a messed up mind to sexualize dolls for having “big lips” or “big eyes”. Unlike Barbie and other generic brands, bratz celebrated racially ambiguous dolls and made kids feel like it was cool to be themselves. Stop being childish and get over it. BRING BRATZ BACK!!
@@salmahfigueira7754 He's just saying he didn't grow up with them so he cannot understand everything about the brand. And Polly Pocket was not sexualized lol.
@@MiniLinlin neither were bratz sexualized hunny
He never said they were sexualized
They did come back for like a collectors doll in like 2018
Was it really about those features? I thought is was more about the makeup and clothing choices.
OFISFJDF DID HE JUST BURN A 50 DOLLAR COLLECTIBLE DOLL-
I grew up with bratz and they honestly didn’t harm me psychologically in the slightest. I’m glad I grew up with bratz :)
Same! I'm Hispanic and I loved Yasmin so mucj because we have almost the same skin tone :)
Same, I just liked them bc they are toys lol
Bratz will forever be my favorite doll line. They don’t get enough credit for being so diverse. They may be too “sexy” but that’s what I love about them. They’re aren’t basic like Barbie and they were always wearing trendy clothes which I think made them popular. Also Sasha deserves more love
@Al X. Andra a lot of girls of color have big full lips
i think the dolls are absolutely gorgeous
@Al X. Andra bratz dolls do have noses actually. they're just very small lol.
@Al X. Andra the 2D style didn't have noses. but the dolls, and all the CGI movies and episodes they all have noses. as i said they're just very tiny
Al X. Andra they do have noses it’s only in the first movie they don’t have noses
@Al X. Andra that is subjective, bratz is stylistic so it can be very appealing or turn people off and find them weird. I am the former however, I like just how unique and non standard these dolls look
Hey, doll expert here. The thing about Bratz that drew in doll collectors was their amazing quality. They used things like real denim and zippers and things and included so much high quality stuff that you just can't get in dolls anymore. Not to mention each doll came with a bucket load of extra clothes and accessories that no other line has consistently done. MGA's new line of dolls "LOL Surprise OMG" (not the babies the fashion dolls) has been the only other line of dolls I know of to match that, unless you're looking at expensive collector dolls. Kids liked Bratz because they're not *boring* like Barbie was. They were cool and the whole message of expressing yourself really stuck to a lot of people I know. Bratzillaz was their attempt at buying in on the Monster High craze, but completely flopped unfortunately. MGA keeps hinting at more Bratz products but never saying anything else. It's really uncertain if Bratz is truly over or not and we're in a really weird limbo atm
Honestly, I kind of absolutely hate LOL. It's not comparable in any way to Bratz. Bratz are full size dolls that came with all of the extra accessories shown, so you can see which doll and what clothes you're getting.
The thing about LOL surprises is that, well, they are surprises. You will not know which doll you'll be getting until you have already bought the product. That would've been okay if they weren't overpriced as all hell and weren't basically a scheme to get as much money from the poor parents as possible. It's actually very likely for you to get duplicates if you buy two or more of the same line , and what does the parents get? An (justifiably) angry child, with no ability to return the product.
That, and also the fact that they are just babies. The bratz dolls, as you mentioned, are very high quality, articulation, full outfits and stylish, relevant clothing. Those babies look arguably even creepier, with their puckered up lips with a tiny hole. Speaking of the hole, most of the lines feature an ability where you can fill the doll with water, and the doll will either cry, drool, or... Pee. Not that surprising coming from a company that has a toy line named "Poopsie slime", but still kind of gross.
These toys also use an unjustifiable amount of plastic, and some of the things they count as "surprises" are literally just the containers the toys come in, or the handle for that container. I'm sure no child in the history of ever went "aww man, a plastic handle for my plastic container? Cool!" That is false advertisement. Just specify the actual amount of surprises, don't count every single useless bit of plastic as a "surprise".
The only thing that I like about there dolls is that they continue the legacy of Bratz with their ethic diversity, but aside from that fact, they are overpriced, falsely marketed, borderline creepy products.
@@edef1244 Am I the only ones who find it weird that Bratz dolls (who all of the charters from there are like 18) got backlash for being to sexy mean while LOL surprise dolls (who are like kindergartners) wear stuff that looks like it's for older teens but as far as I know there is no backlash.
same thing with the poopsies slimes.
@@edef1244 wasnt talking about the baby dolls at all. I specifically mentioned "LOL Surprise OMG", which are full sized fully articulated fashion dolls. They are not surprise dolls nor are they babies and are meant to be older teens/young adults.
Wait? They had like real materials?! Damn. Someone in my house I have some old ones so I deffo need to have a look at that.
@@kiks4757 yes! Real metal was a little rarer but definitely denim! I have so many Bratz clothes that are such high quality in my doll clothes stash. They also run dye when they're washed sometimes, which is also an indication on quality in doll clothes (weird, I know).
As a Latina I relate more to a bratz doll than a Barbie doll. The bratz dolls were all so unique and diverse. Disappointed ppl really had to recall bratz & monster high dolls bc they were too “sexy.” Smh
Bratz never affected me negatively actually it made me love fashion
The Bratz and MyScene where so iconic in my childhood I nearly cry.
Omg MyScene!!!
Ali LordOfTheSkies yess no one talk about them :( they were queens
@@renaee_qt I use to play the dress up games with my cousin religiously.
Omg yes I used to love MyScene too! Sasha and Madison were my favorite dolls bc they looked like me 🥺💕
Oml I’m crying 😭
Bratz were made for teenagers not children and moms didn’t like them and they were fashion dolls
I’m a bratz Losver I was a child playing bratz dolls, and that was in 2006 I know the bratz show is for teenagers
I’m a bratz Losver peroidttttttt those who owned them are now fashionistas , I don’t make the rules 🥰❤️
Well when i was more little i watched it and my mother was with me she bought me doll and she actually have nothing against them....
Elena Nikolova Same. I think only Susans had a problem with them because all my friends’ moms bought them for them too.
@Ocean Blue oh hell's yeah. Watch "Cheaper by the Dozen". One of the teen daughters has a bratz doll on display. Seriously, I remember this because I watched that movie religiously.
As a brown girl, I related to Bratz doll so much and they were one of the few dolls I saw that looked like me ❤️
As an Indian girl I rlly liked Bratz because the dolls were so diverse! Yasmin was one of my favorite because she looked like me (even tho she's latina) and was kinda disappointed how much u talked shit abt them.
Not everyone has to like what you like. Get over it.
@@zippy3253 never said he had to like Bratz, and I can express my opinion if I want to. That's what the comment section is for.
don't mean to be rude but bratz was monumental to my childhood and i feel like you didn't really go in depth with what made them so appealing. racial diversity was a HUGE thing for me as a little asian kid that immigrated to a predominantly white country. they placed an emphasis on self-expression and defying societal rules and expectations, while placing a big importance on friendship and fun which is just real wholesome. idk i just really love bratz and i wish this vid had a lil more heart
Yes!! It sucked he trashed literally everything that was important about them, it really breaks my heart
Yeah Bratz deserved more tbh!
@Marcelle In the early 2000's? Of course not, MyScene dolls were super diverse too. Barbie and Polly Pocket had like one black character that my friends would fight over lmao
@Marcelle the key thing about bratz is that the diversity was the face of their brand rather than poc being added in as a friend or a side character. on the other hand, the two most well known names for the barbie brand as far as it was in my country were barbie and ken. this made it harder for me to identify with and enjoy barbie as a kid, because i was made to feel as though asian people will always be a side character of sorts.
Sodium Ghost I felt that so much as a black girl too.
“How can anybody find this cute?”
Me, who exclusively collected Bratz Babyz and Bratz Lil Angels as a kid because I found them cuter than the normal dolls: * sweats nervously *
Soul The Wolf I love them too ❤️
Yassdd sis♥️👑✨
I loved the bratz babyz movie when I was younger I don’t know why but I just did
Omg I had the huge ones that talked and were the size of a 1 year old
Same
Burning the dolls triggered me...
I loved Bratz dolls. as a black girl it is hard to find dolls like me in stores , especially at a reasonable price. so bratz were great
unpopular opinion: The show was poppin' ever since i was a kid lol
It was one of my favourites!
"Ouch, my nose!"
Tamar Weiss Hi kAyCeE
I loved it when all four of them said “Not Cool!” all at once lol
@@partIycIoudy Or "Eww" XDD
Not only did bratz have the best fashion for a doll line at that time:
-there was diversity
-the commercials were EXCELLENT. I still watch them from time to time lol
- their CD's were also GREAT. They had some really good producers, songwriters, and singers for their albums.
-the quality of the dolls and accessories were amazing, from the clothes using real jean fabric, real fabric handbags, REAL WORKING SEATBELTS IN THE CARS, etc, especially the earlier lines. Once you get to 2010 and above, it's not as consistent in quality.
-They always came with an insane amount of accessories and extra outfits.
-They also put a lot of thought into their "Boyz" line.
And yes! The Bratz community is still active and were flipping shit that you opened all 3 of those dolls. ESPECIALLY THE BRATZ BABY.😭
Marcelle well that was just the bratz style of them Acc and they were diverses acc black white asain Hispanic 🙂
@Marcelle the Barbie line started out with only caucasian blonde dolls. Bratz started with 4 racially ambiguous dolls. And that number kept growing as time progressed. For their time, they were the most diverse collection of dolls.
@Marcelle why are you up in every comment thread spouting crap that isn't what anyone is actually saying? The diverse barbies? Yeah those came AFTER the bratz dolls which from the VERY START had racial diversity.
Yasss
@Marcelle *Yasmin *Cloe
Bratz were still diverse regardless of them using the same mold for every doll (for budget purposes).
Barbie only created a black doll because people were complaining. That's usually what happens everytime barbie attempts to diversify their brand. They wait for someone to complain before they do it. And only then, it was still just black and white dolls, nothing else. AND the black dolls all had straight hair. I dont ever remember seeing or having a textured hair black barbie until after Bratz hit the scene.
Bratz used different hair textures for different dolls and different lines. Different dolls had different birth marks (Yasmin dolls always have a mole below her left eye) Sasha wasn't the only "black" doll, they had different shades spanning from Felicia (from the Bratz Sweet Dreamz collection) who is the darkest doll out of the entire franchise to one's like Destiny (from the Bratz 2008 Passion 4 fashion line, I believe) who was a honey brown and favored Beyonce or Ciara. It doesn't only stop at "black" dolls. Jade wasn't the only "Asian" doll. You can literally tell a Kumi doll apart from a Jade doll. They don't look the same at all if you pay attention.
Bratz also had backstories and personalities to the main four dolls (and a few others, including some boys) to separate them from each other. They all had their own interests and quirks about them that could let a little girl chose a favorite between characters. Barbie was just barbie, who could be anything. There wasn't much of a backstory or depth to barbie (besides her original story from the 50s) until Bratz came out.
Either way, Bratz pushed the norm for the doll scene in the 00s and influenced many other doll lines such as MyScene.
one of the main things my grandmother and dad would tell me a lot whenever i would be playing with a bratz doll as a kid, would be that they looked unnatural, their lips were too big, they were too curvy and they would effect my self esteem as i grew up. however, my mom, who comes from a diverse family, having a half hawaiian, half white mother, and a mexican father, would never say anything about it and would be happy to buy the dolls for me. as my dad's family are completely white, i don't think they were exposed to people of colour as much, whereas my mom was, and knew that there really were a lot of people with curvy bodies and big lips, and didn't see a problem with bratz dolls.
also, growing up, i never felt inclined to look like bratz or barbie dolls. personally, i dont think that it is the influences we have as kids that makes us insecure as we grow up, it's society around us.
I completely agree with you. I think Bratz dolls model a different art/makeup style as well as cultural styles of various different kinds of people. As a kid I didn't pay attention the diversity much (I'm Indian btw), I thought it just felt right. It felt natural to me so that's why I didn't think twice about it because being surrounded by different kinds of people is how it is at school growing up and how it's supposed to be (at least in America and other western nations which are less culturally/ethnically homogenous).
And I most certainly agree that perhaps your father and his family weren't exposed to poc communities and culture where those features are completely normal and common, so it was strange to them. Moreso cultural differences than anything else because a white girl having those kinds of features might come off as overly sexualized, but those same features are just naturally found in communities of poc so it's a cultural bridge that needs to be closed.
fun fact: one of the Bratz characters were deaf
Which one?

I liked that the brats dolls looked like me. I was a black kid with big lips and brown skin. Barbie didnt have that.
@Marcelle I dont have a barbie nose either
Yes! Many people in my family (not me I'll admit) have big eyes, big lips, various skin shades etc. It felting comforting in a way that Barbie couldn't. Not to mention that the multi-racial dolls from Barbie came WAY later. Bratz established that AND respected the cultures of those dolls (even if only mentioning it briefly).
Yasss
They are still carrying on with their crap , re packaged in to new box!!. Wallaah...
Marcelle stop protecting Barbie there dolls are ass there basic asf brats and monster high get cancelled but basic Barbie stays?
The end was really necesary? You could have just given the dolls to someone who really valuates them.
Yup. He could. Even if he disliked these dolls (and I understand his feelings) that action was silly

it’s his dolls, he could give, or throw them in the trash if he wants to. idk why that bothers people so much.
The only impact Bratz had on me was turning me into a bad b*tch as I got older with a passion 4 fashion and making me way more aware of different ethnic groups and races as a child. ;) They were truly living in the future with their sense of style, also parents shouldn't look for a DOLL to be a role model for their children smh. Also, there was not a lot of mentioning of the DIVERSITY of the dolls like Ummm, hello, that's literally one of two of the main reasons they were popularized, other reason being the fashion sens that wasn't bland, would always switch upon any occasion, and could match any theme, besides having Barbie's pink and purple bland fashion choices. They were representation for ALL of us POC.

fun fact : in the bratz tv show, the tweevils and burdine are basically the embodiment of barbie in the bratz universe. the love of pink and how classic burdine liked things to be (when burdine was on screen, classical music had played) this also could be why those three never got dolls

Honestly I'm disappointed you burned the dolls instead of giving them to a thrift store. A kid from a low-income family could have lucked out and got a brand new $50 collector doll for cheap. That's a nice quality doll that would last a long time with a kid.
Amy Hudson FR tho 😩
I know. That really annoyed me he did that.
also the amount of people who collect these, especially because they were all brand new with box, they could have easily been given away
I don't think he actually burned them. Besides the troll did. 😂
(Also he knows how expensive they are so he probably didn't burn them due to the fact that he knows they are rare.)
That bothered me too. I'm hoping he didn't actually burn them but made it look like he did.
Fairly recently (as in 4 years ago or so) I was able to get an old Sasha doll for 2 bucks at a farmer's market thing near me.
I mean- her left foot got popped off and replaced by Chloe's foot, which was definitely apart of the reason it was so cheap, but still- That was a great deal for such an old doll.
The woman who sold it to me and my mother was just trying to get rid of a bunch of her daughter's old things (with the daughter's permission) so I really don't think either of them saw the value in keeping the doll around. (Which my mother totally saw)
So now I have best girl Sasha in my room, just chillin, with Chloe's attached foot. I mean- like they said in the series theme song: "They'll always be there for each other"
Guess that includes lending a literal foot
Guess so xD
bratz weren’t meant for little kids just like monster high. they were meant for pre teens to teens.
Bratz were different from Barbie. They had different ethnicities and they had a bold style for fashion. The Bratz had a message: Be who you want to be and no one can stop you. The Bratz were a huge influence in my life and I saw them as my bestfriends, as I went through a very dark period at the age of like 8 to 10 (this lasted when I was 16). Until this day, they remain a huge impact on my life.
What you did to Cloe is dirty, you did her dirty. I felt disgusted and so are many
Barbies are different ethnicities and have positive messages too.
Barbie has also different ethnicities, Barbies AA friend Christie was introtuced in 1968, her hispanic friend Teresa in 1988 and her Asian friend Kira also in the 80's.
No one knew about any of other barbies ethnic friends because Mattel didn’t advertise them to the extent the white classic Barbie was. Bratz was diverse straight off the bat and didn’t used it as a selling point. Just recently when all the “Barbie isn’t diverse enough” controversy happened is when Mattel decided to release the diverse line and put the light on that. Barbie does have positive messages just like Bratz in the sense that young girls can group up and be whoever they want to be.
Alyssa In This Gig Dot Com 🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️ when your examples are from 1968 and 1988. That’s not diversity. They never marketed barbies to be more than a blonde white girl. Stop being delusional. Bratz were no ones princess. We know why ppl didn’t like them....
Alyssa In This Gig Dot Com Girl, as a hispanic you has lived in a majority hispanic area my whole life, I promise you none of us have ever seen Teresa marketed in stores as kids. Never heard of her until now, plus The Bratz didn’t have to pretend to care about diversity by throwing out one doll with no promotion what so ever once in the decade and call it day. They gave us a hispanic character with a personality and fashion style from the start. Yasmin was a main character too- not Chloe’s best friend- but an important character as well as is the same case with Sasha and Jade.
I speak for everyone when I say Rock Angelz was the *best* Bratz movie
The video games were good too! It was on PlayStation.
The dolls too.
Nah, the one with the genie is obviously the best.
I love forever Diamondz but the dolls for Rock Angelz was the best.
oh my gosh i LOVED rock angelz
i just imagine people walking on a crosswalk, and just seeing negative filming a grill with burning dolls inside and just being super confused
I was just thinking- why was nobody in the comments talking about that
I loved bratz dolls growing up. Being black, I always had “massive” lips so seeing a doll that looked like me made me feel normal for once 😂
Did Sasha’s white girl brown hair and green eyes make you feel normal too?
Did her skin color constantly changing cause the artist obviously had a bias against her make you feel normal?
🤔🤔🤔
As I recall black people rarely have green eyes and hair like white people.
Idk I always liked how black Barbies had realistic hair textures...same with Disney’s Tiana doll.
@@keeferkifflom360 i seen some tan girls with green olvie or emerald eyes
Not gonna lie but bratz forever diamonds and rock angels are the bomb tho
Ikr! That's my bop!
i still watch them to this day!😌
Omg yes
Listen ‘So good’ was and still is my shit!!!!
@@TheKyraBeasley RIGHT ?! i love that song!
The Bratzillaz are like a spin-off series of the Bratz. The original Bratz was an answer to Barbie and the Bratzillaz were an answer to Monster High.
The Bratz's charm were in the clothes. Barbie had a basic classic style but the Bratz were super contemporary. (That's how they got away with the basic articulation)
But in the end, Monster High snatched Bratz' weave and used it for Frankie Stein's new hairdo.
El-Karasu
Yeah didn’t work out that second time. Thou personally i still think the Bratzillaz are super cool dolls. Especially the original Meygana
Also dolls with articulations wasn’t mainstream thing back in the day
Loved these dolls, Asian, Latina and African American dolls also red headed roxi and meygan!
I always asked my mom for barbies as a kid and my mom only got me bratz because she said “They’re diffrent like people. Not all people look like Barbie some have different skin and look like you and me.” They never made me feel self conscious they made me feel included for having dark hair and dark skin.
Man just wasted his money on dolls he just ended up burning
But he got to make a cool video out of it
Notice how he didnt burn his favorite one, the bratzilla
oriana ahsan he loves that one
Why burn the dolls though? They could've been given to somebody who really wanted, but never got one. Really sucks to see good quality dolls wasted but I understand it's your money.
👏😭
I would want it so bad
That troll doll gave me nightmares , how could anyone make such a horrendous character and then sell it to public , its the version of that pink toy brick piggy bank which , when inserted a coin it moves it's lips and gulps the coin in , I guess you people might have seen it , that was an old one , well you can google it , if you find my discription is kind of messy as to whom trying to highlight.
@Unojhiir0 Oh! That makes more sense also yeah didn't think about eBay at the time.
I never got one but my sister did she never let me see it then soon she threw it out I’d always ask my parents for one but they said no. I want one bc they are unique. Their not Barbie wearing pink. Their not like when Mattel made a Barbie doll that said “I like shopping” “math is hard”.
I’m actually really sad that they discontinued Bratz. They were my whole childhood.
Am I the only one that had a white (foreign) mom who didn’t mind I had different color dolls? Me and my mom were OBSESSED with these dolls
The stress I feel from seeing a $50 piece of plastic melt
The stress I feel of opening a doll not in circulation
I JUST ABOUT DIED
i was disgusted
To be fair the collector bratz dolls on amazon are sometimes on sale for as low as like $14 lol
You’re a kpop fan you should be used to seeing plastic
“Passion for fashion” is the motto that I live for ever since I fell in love with Bratz, been drawing my whole life and Bratz along with barbie movies inspired me so much to be a fashion designer. Knowing barbie as “you can be anything you want” motivate me more to achieve my dream when growing up. I just turned 18, going to apply for an animation school in Japan. I felt as if theres tons of people having problem with the dolls because of their clothing, their heavy makeup, too sexy or their personality is just just abt “fashion” which come off as vain to people, but you see, as children we don’t see the doll as hot figure with nice waist we just play with them like any other toys. You wouldn’t know how many of these barbie/bratz movies inspire young children when growing up, and it feels heartwarming to look back. I love them and am grateful for them being inspirational to me since young. They gave me a pleasant childhood :))))
Yesss bratz was a huge inspiration for so many of us! Good luck with your application!
Okay but am I the only one who loved the “bad animated” series??
As an 11 year old I always thought dark skin was beautiful
Is anybody remember the movie where baby bratz were fighting with potato aliens??It was one of my favorite movies when i was a child lmao
Yeooo I thought that shit was a fever dream. The one where they turned into monsters fucked me up tho
LMFAOOOOO ONG THAT WAS MY SHITTTT
Raven Vampire YESSSSSS😂😂
I did
YESS 😂 I rmr I used to watch that when o was younger and I always thought those potato things were so ugly 💀
The last doll’s jointing is called “bend and snap”. A lot of barbies have them. Most dolls with rubber legs have bend and snap articulation. ☺️
dolls with rubber legs always pissed me off as a child.
@@lilliths-httyd-channel really? I liked them better for some reason lol
@@umutnergisesiyok355 it made it almost impossible to put their clothes on. instead of sliding on like normal plastic, they'd just stick to it or something (hard to explain). god forbid you tried to put pants on them. it made them near impossible to play with.
@@lilliths-httyd-channel ooh you're right i forgot about putting on pants part but still I liked the rubbery texture and snapping sound? Lol
@@umutnergisesiyok355 I don't like the rubber tbh. and the snapping sound... i like it but it can't even bend all the way. I'd rather use ball joint bc they're easier to pose and dress and that's literally all i care for in dolls
He basically just trashed the whole Bratz franchise instead of telling us what actually happened to them..
Um...I absolutely loved Bratz as a kid, my favorite dolls and they never effected my body image.
Forgive me for I have sinned and I was absolutely obsessed with Bratz as a child. The two movies you mentioned were my favorites as a kid and I kind of watch them to this day for nostalgic reasons. My parents didn't care if I liked them, if anything they thought it was harmless that I liked the way they dressed. Didn't actually want to, but the young me thought they were really cool. I liked them better than Barbie and MyScene. Also, I am grateful to know I'm not the only who played with these dolls. I was the only one in my class who appreciated them. Thanks again, Negative Legend for bringing my childhood back to the light a little, even if they do look alien. I think I chose to look over that fact.
Same. Back in the days my sister and me were the only one playing and knowing bratz
I only had a few..... Genie Magic is my favorite Bratz movie.
Literally same, when I was younger I was obsessed with bratzs, I always that they were way more fashionable and cooler than barbie.
I just remembered Rock Angel's. Okay, third movie I watched the most. The dolls from that movie and Fashion Fairies were what I begged my parents to by me for Christmas. The more I think about it, these dolls influenced my tastes more than I realized.
@@ABewitchedTeaParty Bratz babies was my first.
I NEVER looked at a Bratz doll’s flat ass and detachable feet as a negative impact on my psychology. They were just dolls to me. I loved them because I loved playing with hair and clothing and also because each one represented a different ethnicity/race. I found them better than Barbies because I was able to be a lot more creative with them. Looking at them now as an adult, I gotta say they still look more fun to play with than the other dolls lol
Exactly same
Exactly! I'm willing to bet a very low percentage of girls actually developed body image problems as a result of playing with Bratz. The worst thing Bratz ever did for my self image is make me want longer hair.
@@ButterflyScarlet and straight. im half white and have curly hair
The burning of the bratz at the end made my eye twitch because I love them. Annnd they cost so much now. I hope you at least saved the bratzillas one since you liked its eyes so much 😅
i straight up cannot believe you destroyed a limited edition collector doll 😱
this and winx were the og "girl" cartoons that most boys watched in my class including me
Nero Piroman awww so cute
I never knew boys watched those:0
@@Nyxthebat04 in the age of allmost no internet in my country, the tv was the primary source of entertainment and not a lot of cartoons were around, so we watched what was, same goes for some girls watching WWE
I dunno why but i really liked winx... probably cuz i ended up gay af
Respect
In the Bratz cartoon I remember there being two twins who both had broken NOSES
I remember “ouch my new nose!” so vividly 😂
I remember her sis broke her nose every weekend
not broken they had nose jobs
kirstee, the meaner one of the tweevils, was voiced by kaley cuoco (penny from big bang) for the first season. ALL voice actors were recast for the second season.
Did I mention that there was Bratz cartoon by Seth Green? I'm not joking, there really is a Bratz cartoon by the same studio that did Robot Chicken!
lol the bratz babies were basically literally designer babies, i loved them, especially the giant variations
We NEEEEEEEEED to make a petition for MGA to bring them back!!!! Too iconic!!!!!
Cloe's outfit actually slaps tremendously. I'd wear that
All the outfits did but jade had the best style
Yes. Especially the shoes.
Bro i love hers too, I loved all of them 😍
They all snapped 👏💯
Sugerflaps • omg jades hat ♥️
You know, one thing I remember when having these dolls was the representation that they portrayed. You had an asian, latina, black, and white doll all packaged together in the same universe. At the time, I recall seeing Nikki and how it seemed as though the Barbie company treated her as a second rate doll. I can’t even remember her backstory or anything important about her at the time. But with Bratz, Sasha, Yasmine, Jade, and Chloe all seemed to be treated equally. They generally were like best friends and Sasha most definitely had beautiful designs and clothing unlike Nikki who seemed pale in comparison. That was my opinion when I was kid🤔
Idek who nikki is lol smh
I've never heard of Nikki either, but from context she's a Barbie character. The fact that this character is so obscure despite being from arguably the most recognizable doll franchise out there simply strengthens akemi's point.
Yasmine’s actually Arab, not Latina ☺️ But I agree, Bratz was really progressive and amazing for their main doll line having almost all the girls POC and was awesome to feel represented as a kid !!
Candy Sweet Yasmine is actually Hispanic search it up... sorry to burst your bubble.
@@chikachieme5026 If you search it up, Yasmin is of Iranian descent. However, the live action butchered her character and made her Latina.
He looks like Cameron though 😂
That lip shaped Bratz phone, jeeezus you took me back
No way Bratz rock angels was the best. Periodt.
Facts. 👌🏾
This one and Fashion pixies were my favorites!
Tae Tae both movies are on TH-cam I watched one today cause I was bored 💞😭
Exactly, loved that movie!
Instead of melting the 50$ doll you could of sent it to someone like me that collects them that cant afford 50 bucks on her like you thanks
For real
I honestly loved the Bratz dolls when I was younger. Especialy since my name is Jade and one of them had the same name as me.
Ok so now I wanna see a whatever happened to MyScene
since when is fashion pixies the most popular tf? would've thought forever diamondz or the actual best movie rock angelz???????
Harry And The Chicks exactly! I love Bratz Rock Angelz
The Forever Diamondz and Rock Angelz were definitely the most popular. They even had video games on them since they were so popular.
valerybazooka i still have them :p
Forever diamonds was my favourite!!
He didn't research shit, just Google a bunch of crap and there you go...
When talking about how it was cool that Bratz dolls weren’t just white you said “okay I may get that it possibly can play in their favour...”
as if that weren’t a HUGE reason for their success.
The fashion that Bratz wear, their features (hips and big lips) and their huge diversity, were absolutely not popular in the white community when they came out. While Barbie Dolls were stick thin (nothing wrong with that, I myself loved Barbie), blonde, white and blue-eyed, Always wearing pink dresses and high heels, Bratz *explored* and actually gave a chance to many little girls to see themselves represented. This is something that many white people fail to understand, unfortunately (“why care about skin color? It doesn’t matter”), you have no idea how important it is for little girls to see themselves represented as beautiful. Because if they don’t, they’ll subconsciously think it’s for a reason: their race and features aren’t considered beautiful by society thus they don’t appear in dolls, tv shows, magazines... and it’s how we get issues such as skin bleaching being so huge in sub Saharan Africa and India.
I know my mom would always buy me Bratz dolls, even though she could’ve paid for 1/3 of the price for a blonde white doll; because bratz dolls were literally the ONLY doll line that had black (and dark skinned) dolls. Let alone all the other ethnicities they introduced later on!
It just bothers me a lot how you brushed it off like some small detail that may quickly be a positive thing and not as if it was extremely important and crucial in the healthy growth of children of minorities in predominantly white countries.
I agree. POC NEED representation and they served it and served it WELL. This was a disappointment.
I agree
PREACH!! Couldnt agree more
Melody Headburn Beautifully and well explained. Couldn’t have been put better.
I agree i mean ugh when i was little before bratz were even popular i would always cry about why my skin was so dark and would tell my mom that i hated my skin color cause i wanted to be White cause everyone loved white skin color and cause barbie dolls.. i would Always tell her that i wanted to be prettier by making my skin pale my mom always told me i had better skin color she got that tru my head and even more i felt more happier and comfortable when i got a sasha and yazmin doll when bratz was finally popular i loved it so much because i saw sasha and yazmin look like me so much and i felt better that i loved my skin color more than ever its crazy how this actually affects non white little girls i mean crap i never thought it would affect me.
I swear to God I remember watching a bratz series I saw this one episode that stood out to me I completely forgot what's it called but the only thing I could remember is that the episode began zooming into a cafe and them sitting there talking.. and now I wanna see it and I cant find it
When your mom always refers to them as "scary and ugly" dolls and questions why u like them everytime
Me : 👁👄👁
The fact that Hayden Williams designs and illustrates the bratz dolls is simply mind blowing to me as a fan of both as the designs are really, really gorgeous and fashion forward!
That's also probably why the price point is high, the collaboration raises the value too
Thank you for your kind words. Social media can be a really nasty place sometimes, but when i see comments like this, it reminds me that there are some nice people out there.
@@HaydenWilliams oh my, I was not expecting a reply from... I'm shook
I would like to thank you directly, you're truly and inspiration and i really love and admire you and your designs! As a fashion designer myself who loves to draw fashion illustrations I really look up to you; you're one reason why I'm getting motivated to get back to my passion of getting back to drawing design illustrations after being stuck, so I'd like to thank you for that:) please remember that you've given significant impact to many people including myself! Please take care :D
@@sylvette.astoria Wow that is really incredible and humbling that you see me as an inspiration. I appreciate the love so much and wish you all the best with your endeavours and aspirations to design/illustrate. Much love and stay safe!
Don’t lie
@Asia Gandy Aw thank you so much! Much love to you
I’m too old to be this stressed about some of the things he said like “How could anyone find this cute”.
Tbh baby bratz were never cute to me either. I prefer regular Bratz but to each their own.
Growing up dolls like bratz, barbie, monster high, etc. never had an impact on my self-esteem or made me self-conscious about the way I looked, I just liked playing with them and just thought they were pretty. seeing poc dolls in bratz tho really made me feel happy to see a doll that looked like me! I also loved the movies and still do to this day.
I don’t like how you tried to fake degrade them in the mix of trying to tell us “what happened” to them . You shouldn’t speak on something you know nothing about . A lot of girls already explained how different the bratz were and what they meant to us black girls with most of their features . Comparing these dolls to that picture of that thing with no nose was really rude .
its not that deep i-
@@glamourable idk why everyone made this about race either, I think some people just hold them so close to their heart that the only reason someone doesn't enjoy them MUST be because of a character flaw or multiple
@@ravenanne1734 EXACTLYYYY i was a bratz baby me and my mom loved watching that show together and we still watch the movies and stuff nut i was hurt when they ended it and stopped with the dolls but everyone is getting so pressed in these cmnts for what?
@@ravenanne1734 Because it was all race and color not just white...That's why. and it's a good point too.
He was comparing the animation style of that first movie to Lord Voldemort, not the actual dolls. Even if he did, they're just dolls. You act like he's insulting real people. You can like Bratz, but not everyone is going to have the same opinion as you about them, and there's nothing wrong with that. Every kind of doll has weird features that some of us appreciate, some of us will ignore, and some of us will dislike.
I didn't agree with his opinion on how the dolls looked, since dolls always have exaggerated facial features (and don't say I'm following the beauty standards of white women, because no non-white woman has those facial proportions, even if they have huge lips, because they are DOLLS), but he was just expressing his opinion on the way the dolls looked and I doubt he meant any harm. He was just being funny. I liked Bratz as a kid, but I still laughed and I liked his video overall.
now everybody making bratz an aesthetic while they never watched the movies or even know their names
so we're gatekeeping bratz dolls now lol
feral catgirl exactly like what.
well its thanks to that or i never would have got into bratz so 🤷♂️🤷♂️
kieran charles don’t let shitty ppl in fandoms change your view into watching something. They’ll always be that one person in each community/fandom ect
SugarSweet I kinda sorta see where you’re coming from but a lot of times it’s how people get interested in the first place
Aww, this was a bit disappointing, since I've been waiting for someone to talk about Bratz on youtube. I actually thought this was gonna talk about how underrated Bratz is. As a kid you wouldn't instantly "see" that Barbie didn't look like you but you'd definitely realized you looked like one of the Bratz girls fast, and you instantly find a connection. Not only are their designs timeless (just check their clothes from the beginning, they are so ahead of their time) but also did such a good job at sending the message of being who you are, and being passionate about what you wanna do, can get you far and give confidence. I'm glad they're back but they aren't getting the recognition that they deserve. Mattel tried to copy too when they made My Scene btw, so it just sucks that they "financially drained" MGA, I'm assuming. Also, their movies were actually pretty good for the budget and the animation wasn't that bad, it was in the early 2000s. They had amazing voice actors even, like Lacey Chabert, Kaley Cuoco, Tia Mowry and the iconic Wendie Malick. Glad you noticed the improvements tho. I just wish you really didn't ruin your dolls. Been saving up for one and just, it was hard to watch.
Tia Mowry?!! Oh wow I didnt no that, that is cool to know.
Yea this video is a disappointment
@@PinkRedBrisk Yes! She was the original Sasha. She was everything.
Yes! I instantly related to Yasmin because she looked just like me and also loved animals!
YES! I'm watching the series here on youtube and so far its great👌
Dont expect men on youtube to dig that deep into females relating to ethnic dolls in a time of Barbie. I agree with you so much
Yeah, I remember Bratz. My favorite movie of theirs was the one with the genie. That was a classic.
Also, while I'm now aware of how much their TV show is just mediocre, I do have a spot for it in my heart. I absolutely adored its villains though (Ms. Pink-what's-her-face and the two pink sisters or something, I'm bad at names). "Ouch, my nose." Was our favorite line to mimick.
Also, there is a Bratz babies movie. Don't ask me how I know it. Watch it in your own accord.
YES OMLI REMEMBER THE NOSTALGIAAa
While American parents hated Bratz, my African ass got an African Bratz doll from my aunt and I still have it, my mom rlly likes Bratz and is a big fan of them
Bratz dolls were honestly my life when I was a kid, along with Monster and Ever After High. I loved the clothes, the hair, the movies, all of it!
They show diverse ethnicities, yet they just have different hair and skin colors, they have all the same facial features
i see what you mean but growing up? finding any other doll that wasnt white and blond was nearly impossible or more expensive because it was an added extra to the main doll in the plastic pack, it aint the best but if its the only alter? 👌🏼
Their features were part of their appeal and aesthetic and all the dolls having the same physical characteristics set them apart from other dolls that we're out.
Legit every doll line has same face designs🤦🏾♀️
@Jeremy Jones sasha is not lightskin shes dark skin
@Jeremy Jones Sasha is not light skin and I swore Yaz was arabs. Plus most black have full lips so the representation was accurate
I'm still in shock over that last segment lol
