Dear Mattel: Stop announcing movies that aren't happening. You're an embarrassment to both the toy and the film industries. How many of these announced films are actually in production? How many actually have green lights? How many even have scripts? Any at all? We all get that you want to be an entertainment company but, for that to be true, you actually have to make some entertainment, not just announcements.

um… Real Steel? wasn’t that essentially what the movie would have been?
Isn't Margo Robby going to star in the Barbie movie? Was that fake news? I thought that was happening, but maybe she's too old now. I would still watch it.
Barbie had her sixtieth birthday last year. The movie development had its tenth anniversary. Barbie will be 70 before any movie gets made, and you can bet your life that it won’t be made by the geniuses who are currently running (or at least calling themselves) the Mattel Movies department.
They should make a movie about a toy company that pretends to make movies.
Fisher Price just announced a new mu–––r mystery movie! It's called "Rock ’n Play Sleeper: the Movie".
Is it really true that none of the movies are in production, or is this being exaggerated? I thought there were something like 10 movies being made? What about Barbie and Hotwheels? I heard about them long before COVID and thought they’d be out by now.
There’s a department at Mattel that not too many know about. It’s called Mattel Movie Announcements. They are the ones responsible for creating these illusions and non–movie magic. They get paid big bucks too!!
Dear OP, the press releases drive the stock price. Quit complaining. Who cares if no movies are being made? The stock went up a few pennies so we should all be happy. Just wondering what will happen when the publicity team runs out of titles. BARBIE VS. HEMAN! THE MOVIE!
