Ep. 3 Ally McLean’s “Barbie As Rapunzel” Journey

We sit down with Ally McLean to discuss her recent article The Incredible Story Behind The Barbie As Rapunzel Video Game to learn some behind-the-scenes stories of how Barbie as Rapunzel came to be.

In this interview, Ally takes us through her very personal journey into uncovering the whole story surrounding this not-so-strictly for girls title.
