Barbie: Life in the Dreamhouse (English Audio for Episode 62)

Barbie: Life in the Dreamhouse is a series of Mattel CGI Internet shorts and TV specials, detailing the misadventures the world-famous Barbie doll has with such other dolls as her boyfriend Ken, her younger sisters, and her friends. By providing a humorous and self-aware look into the world of toys, the cartoons have earned fans of varying ages. However, one episode currently remains unavailable for English-speaking viewers to enjoy.

Mattel posted episode #62 of Life in the Dreamhouse, "Malibu's Empirical Emporium", on YouTube in December 2014. The plot apparently involves Barbie's then-newest friend, Grace, opening a store selling scientific objects. For the convenience of Life in the Dreamhouse fans from other countries, Mattel shared various foreign-dubbed versions of the video, as they do for a lot of videos on Barbie's channel. Surprisingly, before they could release it with English audio, all versions of it disappeared from the channel.

It currently remains unknown why Mattel did not post "Malibu's Empirical Emporium" in English. The foreign versions vanished so quickly, the episode didn't even receive a page on the unofficial Life in the Dreamhouse Wiki (at least as of March 2015). Since the copyright at the end reads 2015 instead of 2014, some viewers might wonder if Mattel deemed it too early to share the video. That being said, one can only speculate if/when it will ever return. Mattel launched a new show about Barbie, Barbie: Be Super, in February 2015, possibly putting Life in the Dreamhouse on an indefinite hiatus.

Episode #61 of Life in the Dreamhouse, "The New Girl in Town" (which shows how Barbie met and became friends with Grace), also appears missing from Barbie's YouTube channel. Unlike "Malibu's Empirical Emporium", it still remains viewable in English. Some of Barbie's fans re-posted "The New Girl in Town" on their own YouTube channels. Additionally, Mattel's official playlist of Life in the Dreamhouse videos has a link to their unlisted official upload of the video, which still works as of March 2015.
