==History==
'''''Cupcakeland''''' was a CGI animated musical direct-to-DVD short film that was pre-packaged with various Cupcake Surprise dolls during early 2006, during their first series launch. It was created in order to promote the dolls as a brand new line from Radica Games, whom planned on reviving the old Tonka line from the 1990s for a brand new generation.<ref>[https://collection.sciencemuseumgroup.org.uk/people/cp134426/radica-games-limited Article informing about the company who produced the dolls.] Retrieved 25 Nov '20</ref><ref>[https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20050217005030/en/Radica-Unveils-2005-Product-Line-at-the-American-International-Toy-Fair Original reveal of the toy line.] Retrieved 25 Nov '20</ref> On October 3rd, 2006, Mattel acquired the company, and the toy line was liquidated.
