Barbie vs Ken: Dreamland Showdown
The sun-drenched shores of Malibu are split in two. On one side, Barbie's fabulous Dreamhouse gleams in pink perfection. On the other, Ken's Beach House thumps with surf rock and BBQ. A glamorous rivalry has erupted — fashion versus vibes, strategy versus swagger — and the whole town has picked sides.
