toward creating important movies that have something to say. Mattel
and Ynon have given me the opportunity of a lifetime to unlock a
treasure trove of IP and collaborate with some of the greatest
actors, auteurs, and studios in the world. I am grateful to all our
creative partners and everyone at Mattel for their support and
confidence. As we celebrate the overwhelming success of the Barbie
movie with our incredible partners and fans, I am even more excited
by what’s next for Mattel Films.”
