I honestly don't know anything made by Mattel outside of Barbie and WWE figures. The Barbie films are gonna be a no-brainer, but what else do they have?

[UntouchedShadow]

I forgot Mattel even existed. Literally the only thing I know about Mattel is Hot Wheels and

M A T T E L E L E C T R O N I C S P R E S E N T S

B 1 7 - B O O O O O M B E R

You know what I'd watch a film about that.

Get ready for a PG-13 Hotwheels franchise to compete with The Fast and Furious. You know its coming.

Digging further, it looks like Mattel also owns Masters of the Universe (ie. He-Man) and the cardgame Uno.

Also, a subsidiary of Mattel is HiT entertainment, which owns Barney & Friends, Bob the Builder, Thomas the Tankengine and Fireman Sam.

[KingSkellington]

Do you think they're going to go with a gritty Barbie cinematic universe, or a more light hearted one?

I would love a He-Man movie to come out so long as they don't cast Dwayne Johnson

[MR-X]

It kinda makes sense, if they start making films they can start making merch. I don't think they are going to make films about stuff they already have released. It will likely be new stuff.

[Penultimate]

They should bring back their software department.

Barbie Detective was the SHIT.

[EmperorScorpious]

If that were the case, they could have just partnered with other film companies.

[MR-X]

Why, then they would have to share profits and licenses. They wouldn't make shit off toy's if the actual license holders get most of the money.

[AlexWeazel]

But there's already been an Uno movie?
