Part of the current wave of titles people are actually watching, Barbie in 'A Christmas Carol' earns its spot. Barbie in 'A Christmas Carol' treats animation as a medium, not a limitation. 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. The voice work from Kelly Sheridan and Morwenna Banks adds real texture, not just recognisable names. It was released in 2008. The visual gags in Barbie in 'A Christmas Carol' reward close attention without ever depending on it. It delivers reliably on what it promises, which is more than most of its competition manages.

Barbie in 'A Christmas Carol' belongs on any best-of list regardless of format. It does not lean on comparisons to make its case. A contained runtime means every scene is doing real work. Kelly Sheridan's voice work is a big part of what makes it distinctive. If you have been sleeping on it because of the format, the format is not the thing here.
