Girls can be anything they want, says fempowerment toy brand GoldieBlox, whose last commercial jabbed at Hollywood sexism and put female action figures in the starring roles of flicks like Gladiator, Mission: Impossible and Rocky.

The digital short, dubbed "Fast-Forward Girls 2015," continues the brand's tradition of supporting young girls with messages such as, "#I look like an engineer," and "#I look like an entrepreneur."
