Billion Dollar Babies: The True Story of the Cabbage Patch Kids Ratings & Reviews
Eye for Film
Jennie Kermode
It quickly becomes apparent that this is more than just the story of the dolls. It is the story of the modern age.
NYC Movie Guru
Avi Offer
Captivating, illuminating and well-edited.
AIPT
Nathaniel Muir
The first half hour is spent reviewing where the Cabbage Patch Kids were birthed and how they came to take their place in pop culture history. It is almost too cute as the documentary never goes beyond entertaining fluff. Then comes the legal battle.
Blu-ray.com
Brian Orndorf
A certain amount of insight keeps the feature rolling along, creating an occasionally vivid understanding of the brand's importance in pop and consumer culture.
Slashfilm
Ethan Anderton
It sounds like this could have been an episode of The Toys That Made Us, but the documentary makes a meal out of this moment in pop culture history.
Common Sense Media
Monique Jones
The film isn't quite as tight as it could be, feeling a bit like a Spark Notes version of itself -- and it could have gone deeper into the nitty gritty of how the Cabbage Patch Kids were created.
Spectrum Culture
Miyako Pleines
Billion Dollar Babies is a thrilling deep-dive into the Cabbage Patch Kids phenomenon that does double duty by highlighting the economic impact of the toys while also setting the record straight.
One Guy's Opinion
Frank Swietek
An amiable study of Cabbage Patch Kids mania as something that would be replicated in future years-a memorable event in itself, but one that's also revealing about American mercantile culture in a wider sense.
Screen Zealots
Louisa Moore
An entertaining, exhaustive look at how masterful merchandising, American capitalism, and a homegrown idea came together in one perfect storm that turned an army of ugly little dolls into legendary pop culture icons.
