Barbie Is Up For 8 Oscars, Including Best Picture — Here's How To Watch It At Home

Barbie Girls of all ages have been excited for years about seeing their favorite fashion icon come to life in Barbie, the first non-animated film to feature the beloved character. Fortunately, the wait was worth it: the film grossed nearly $1.5 billion and was roundly lauded by critics and audiences alike and has been nominated for eight Oscars, including Best Picture, Best Song (both “What Was I Made For” and “I’m Just Ken”), and Best Supporting Actor and Actress. For those of you who want to watch the movie again ahead of the Big Night (or who haven’t watched yet because #Parenting), here’s how to stream Barbie from the comfort of your own Mojo DoJo Casa House.

Barbie is available to stream on Max right now.

Max, formerly HBO Max, is the home of all things Warner Bros. And since Barbie is a Warner Bros. film, that’s where the movie landed for streaming. As of Dec. 15, Barbie is officially available to stream exclusively on Max. You’ll a Max subscription to stream Barbie. You can sign up for an ad-supported plan for $9.99/month or $99.99/year, and ad-free plan for $15.99/month or $149.99/year, or an “ultimate ad-free” plan for $19.99/month or $199.99/year, which allows you to stream on a four devices at once.

Max does not offer a free trial for new subscribers, so you will have to commit to at least a month if you want to stream Barbie.

You can stream Barbie elsewhere, for a price.

If you don’t have Max, Barbie is also available to rent or purchase on digital movie platforms like Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV, Google Play, and Vudu, among others. Prices vary, but generally fall around $5.99 for a rental and between $9.99 and $19.99 to buy.

What age is Barbie appropriate for?

While Barbie (the doll) is intended for school-aged children, Barbie (the movie) is courting an older audience. The PG-13 rating is due to “suggestive references and brief language.” That’s not to say you can’t bring your 9-year-old (I did!) — every child and family is different and “appropriate” is often fairly subjective, but it’s good to go into the experience, whether in theaters or streaming, knowing what you can expect. And now that Barbie is streaming, you can always pause or turn it off it becomes too much.
