Mattel has announced an all-new Fisher-Price toy line based on new animated TV series Barney’s World, with the range set to launch in autumn 2025.
The line celebrates the iconic purple dinosaur’s enduring mission to nurture the power of love in every child while helping kids and their grown-ups amplify caring, love and kindness toward themselves, others, and their community.
Barney’s World is now airing on Cartoonito, followed by catch-up on Sky, Virgin and NOW, with select episodes available on YouTube. Music from the series will also be available on YouTube and streaming platforms globally. The show positively encourages kids, validates their feelings, and shows them that their thoughts, emotions, and actions have value. And now Barney fans can take these important lessons learnt on screen into their playtime with a new line of toys designed to foster emotional growth and imaginative play.
“Barney has always stood for love and kindness, and we’re thrilled to bring him back with a fresh perspective for today’s families,” said Kelly Philp, senior director of marketing at Mattel. “This new product line celebrates the importance of community, sharing and self-expression, creating meaningful play experiences for kids and their grown-ups.”
