Goodwill and Intangible Assets Disclosure [Abstract]  
Goodwill
Goodwill
Goodwill is allocated to various reporting units, which are at the operating segment level, for the purpose of evaluating whether goodwill is impaired. Mattel's reporting units are: (i) North America, (ii) International, and (iii) American Girl. Mattel tests its goodwill for impairment annually in the third quarter and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of a reporting unit may exceed its fair value.
In the third quarter of 2019, Mattel performed its annual impairment test and determined that goodwill was not impaired. The change in the carrying amount of goodwill by operating segment for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 is shown below. Brand-specific goodwill held by foreign subsidiaries is allocated to the North America segment, thereby causing a foreign currency translation impact.
