Barbie in 'A Christmas Carol' (2008)
A Family Classic Filled With Laughs!
On Christmas Eve, Kelly is reluctant to go to a Christmas Eve ball, so Barbie tells her the story of Eden Starling, a glamorous singing diva in the Victorian England and the owner of a theatre house. However, Eden is self-centered and loves only herself. She is frequently accompanied by her snooty cat, Chuzzlewit. She does not believe in Christmas and orders all her employees to work on Christmas.
In Barbie in 'A Christmas Carol', consciousness is carried by toys and objects — a plane of “toy doll theater”. The story fights on E8/E9 of the E0–E14 reality ladder, compressing tradition, labor, exploitation, class, family.
