There are tons of these that went straight to video. Barbie cartoons are nothing new.

My buddy worked on a hot wheels version of one of these back in the day. Mattel has definitely been making toy cartoons for decades. Good old direct to video

I suppose the difference here is feature length theater release and will likely have lots of celebrities voicing different characters.
