As you may know, Bratz are the most popular dolls in North America and the UK – even more popular than Barbie! Bratz Barbie Or Fairy Picture have even had nine of their own movies, the first one entitled Bratz: Starrin & Stylin’, and since then, they have had five music album releases, CD towers, boomboxes, their own animated show on DVD, and 2005’s #1 girl-targeted videogame published by THQ – along with twelve other console and PC games. Flash game site owners know this, and have catered to the publics needs by allowing you to play Bratz games for free on their websites.
A little about the dolls:
Bratz dolls are about ten inches tall, and are very similar artistically to a popular Japanese animation technique called “chibi”, seen in anime and manga. In this artistic form, you will see disproportionately large heads and eyes, to exaggerate facial expression. Generally, you will also see a small nose, and a small torso. The only thing that differentiates the Bratz style from the chibi style, is the full lips. Which is a large step in the opposite direction from animes & mangas almost invisible lip design.
Carter Bryant, a toy designer, created the Bratz dolls and showed his designs to Isaac Larian. The CEO of MGA (Micro-Games America Entertainment) in 2000. And it wasn’t so much Mr. Larian who gave the O.K. on these dolls, as it was his daugher, Jasmin. Who he found was enthralled by the designs – and just by chance had been visiting the office that day!
