* Direct-to-video animated films: This is the most common type of "Barbie film" and there are over 30 of these, starting with "Barbie in the Nutcracker" (2001).
* Live-action films: There have been a few live-action Barbie films, such as "Barbie: A Fairy Secret" (2011) and "Barbie: Life in the Dreamhouse" (2012). These are typically shorter and more focused on younger viewers.
* The upcoming Greta Gerwig film: The highly anticipated "Barbie" film, directed by Greta Gerwig, is set to be released in 2023. This is a separate project from the animated films and is expected to be a more complex and adult-oriented film.
So, if you're asking about animated films, there are over 30. If you're including all types of films, including the upcoming live-action film, the number would be higher, but it's difficult to specify exactly.
