The series will re-introduce some of the original Total Drama characters in an alternate universe where they will be aged down from teenagers to toddlers. It will feature imaginary/dream sequences, cutaways, visual jokes, confessionals and flashbacks.

The latest animated series to tie in with the popular Barbie toyline, "Barbie: Life in the Dreamhouse" was produced by Mattel. The series follows a Slice of Life look into Barbie's, well, life in her Malibu dream house, with brief Reality Television-esque asides into Barbie and her friends' thoughts. Barbie attends parties, goes to the beach, dates Ken, hangs out with her sisters, and does all of the sort of things you would expect Barbie to do. What's unexpected is the massive helping of Affectionate Self-Parody, Medium Awareness, and Parental Bonus on display, adding up to a lovingly parodic version of the Barbie universe not completely out of line with her Toy Story 3 depiction.

This animated take on the reality genre sees twenty-two teens competing in physical challenges in a dilapidated summer camp setting over a sixty day period.
