Jan. 29 (UPI) -- Oprah Winfrey is "so happy" with her Wrinkle in Time Barbie doll.

"This makes me so happy! My own action figure doll from A Wrinkle in Time. This is Mrs. Which for A Wrinkle in Time, coming to a theater near you March 9," she said before singing, "I love it, I love it, I love it, I love it!"

A Wrinkle in Time is based on the Madeleine L'Engle novel of the same name. Ava DuVernay, who directed the forthcoming Disney film adaptation, reacted to Winfrey's video on Twitter.

"I love that she calls the doll an 'action figure.' That's how warriors think. Big!" she wrote.
