Status: Partially Found
My Scene was an animated web series created to promote the My Scene doll line created by Mattel in 2002. It was a spin-off of the popular fashion doll line Barbie.[1] All episodes of the web series have been archived except for A Snowed-In Holiday.
Background
The My Scene web series was hosted on myscene.com and followed Barbie living in New York with her friends Madison, Chelsea, Nolee, and Delancey, and their boyfriends River, Sutton, Hudson, and Ellis. After extensive legal issues regarding MGA and their popular Bratz dolls,[2] My Scene was discontinued by Mattel in 2011, and the website would later shut down in 2014.
Availability
Since the closure of myscene.com, the webisodes are only available via reuploads by fans. All of the episodes have been found, except for the 2005 episode A Snowed-In Holiday. The only footage of the episode available was found in a fan-made video by YouTube user lovelywildxX, but the episode's original audio has yet to resurface.[3]
Plot
Based on what can be seen in the footage and on fan recollections, the plot of A Snowed-In Holiday was as follows: Barbie, Madison, Chelsea, Nolee, and Delancey (along with their pets Yorkie, Bella, Churro, and Cookie) are on a ski trip. They build snowmen and have a snowball fight. Later, the girls find out that they are going to be snowed in at the lodge and will not be home for the holidays. They are later shown laughing as they lie in their sleeping bags. While the girls sleep, someone sneaks in and out of the room carrying something. They wake up the next day and find Christmas presents next to the fireplace. The girls wonder who they could be from, and Cookie reveals it was Nolee. A message saying "Holiday Wishes from the My Scene friends!" appears at the end.
