Barbie and the Rockers (1987)

Barbie and the Rockers: Out of this World is a 1987 TV special created by DIC Entertainment with Saban Productions featuring popular Mattel character Barbie.

The story was based upon the Barbie and the Rockers line of dolls, which featured Barbie as the leader of a rock band. The special originally aired in syndication as a two-part TV "mini-series" with each installment lasting approximately 25 minutes; part two was entitled "Barbie and The Sensations: Rockin' Back to Earth". This miniseries was supposed to have been the pilot for a Monday-Friday Barbie cartoon series.

Unfortunately, negotiations between DIC and Mattel fell through, and the project eventually emerged with a whole new set of characters — and the sponsorship of Mattel rival Hasbro — as Maxie's World in 1988.

The story was based on the Barbie and the Rockers doll line in which Barbie is the lead singer of a rock band.

There might be some confusion as the "different and separate releases" of this special as to what version this one is. This release is the "original, full length release" with the "Day of World Peace Concert" (in space) and the "trip Back to Earth and sideslip through time" included into one whole story.
