I would think that it would be fair use. But Mattel seems lawsuit-happy so I wouldn't risk it. It really turned me off Barbies to read up on all those lawsuits. They seem to have a lousy sense of humour.

I'm not an IP attorney but I wonder if using Barbie dolls in stop motion is really a trademark infringement...I would think not.

I have a pretty good understanding of US copyright law, but I guess my trademark knowledge is a little spotty in this area. I'd be interested to hear from anyone who does have an IP law background.
In any case, including a Peaches track would be a non-starter (from a copyright distribution perspective).
