What “Barbie” Easter eggs did YOU catch? Let us know below, and check out our video of the Top 10 Behind the Scenes Facts About the Barbie Movie - ua-cam.com/video/X2o-TJ1AQpY/v-deo.html
I didn't catch it, so much as blinked and missed it. The Barbie Mt Rushmore. I only recognised one Barbie, the first. I'm having trouble finding a still of that shot online.
The Barbie movie didn’t mention the doll that Barbie is based on. The German doll Lilli. I wish they would’ve included something about her, get into the roots
Matchbox 20’s ‘Push’ was, to me, a great Easter egg and the perfect song for Ken. The song itself is about the abuser being a woman, not a man. But in Ken’s world, it just goes right over his head, taking the words at face value and propping up his newfound “patriarchal” system. It was also notorious for being one of the most played and obnoxious songs of the 90s.
This is true- at least in my case growing up no one wanted a Ken doll - as a little girl getting a Ken was equivalent to getting socks as a gift. I never had any Ken or male Barbies or the knock off Kens unless it was a set deal like buying Barbie Princess of Swan Lake WITH Prince Daniel etc. I thought they were pointless. Having one Ken was more than enough to pretend with even if I didn’t change his clothes. I had no idea what they were for besides being her boyfriend. I normally left him in the box cause I didn’t think it was fair Barbie had a boyfriend but my other Barbies didn’t. I didn’t want them being jealous.
Fun fact: The nature of Barbie and Ken's relationship has never been canonized by Mattel. Maybe they are or maybe they aren't "long-term, long-distance, casual, low-commitment boyfriend/girlfriend."
@@user-kb8qw7dy4t True! Like Ruth said in the movie, she never planned an ending for Barbie. Whether or not Barbie and Ken (or Blaine for that matter) went beyond a friendship was all up the child's imagination.
@@ayf1983 No it's was when Barbie went to real world and understand looking around that not everyone is happy. She looked at Old lady and said You are beautiful and she replied "I know I am"
@@trinaqyes and more people should respect that acknowledgement. Too often, so many see it as being conceited or presumptuous but that's not always the case.
@@rahbeeuh True, I loved how they poked fun of the undeniably gorgeous Margot Robbie claiming that she wasn't beautiful. That got a huge chuckle from my cinema!
I saw the move the other day, totally loved it! I was especially fond of it's sense for meta humour and self awareness. I was NOT expecting Mattel themselves to have a role in it! And Will Ferell as it's fictional CEO truly delivered! 😂
Really loved how throughout the movie shows the importance of uniqueness, self-love and acceptance. While I wished they focused a bit more on the real world, if they can put out powerful messages is something they will make me teary-eyed in happiness every time and I thank them for this!!! 🥹😊🙂
My mam went home after the movie to look up growing up skipper. She could vaguely remember some sort of pregnancy doll but was not sure if she believed in growing up skipper.
@MsMojo I thought { after seeing the movie today , in Australia 🇦🇺 } that , that elderly woman on the bench with Barbie ( making a cameo appearance ) was Margot Robbie's real life grandmother . Also , I disagree that Midge the pregnant 🤰 " Barbie " would be encouraging teen pregnancy as teen girls don't play with Barbie dolls . Although , yes -> Sugar daddy Ken was Creepy & a misstep 🤦
If I had a nickel for ever time Will Ferrell played a businessman antagonist in movies based on toy lines... I'd have two nickels which isnt a lot, but its world that it happened twice.
I can't believe the bench scene almost got cut! That was such a beautiful moment. How they managed to get us from laughing about Ken discovering patriarchy to crying over Barbie discovering human emotions in a matter of seconds will never stop amazing me!
“Does that mean Allan was the baby’s father?” Yes, Allan was part of the Happy Family line, along with Midge, their son Ryan, the two babies Nikki and Cassandra (Midge was a pregnant doll twice), and a set of grandparents. It was always super funny to me that parents thought it promoted teen pregnancy when Midge was intended to be a little bit older than Barbie (I think she was supposed to be 21 and Barbie was 19?), and she had been married to Allan for a few years at that point.
@@msvalentine1902 When Allan was introduced, he was just Ken's "buddy," and the whole aesthetic was very gay. At some point much later in history, he may or may not have become the one responsible for Pregnant Midge? I was not aware of any marriage or legitimate children. Perhaps they live with Weird Barbie now.
That question in the video made me chuckle since they were showing a clip of the wedding advert! Instead of doing something as simple as turning over the box to read the story, not being able to see a wedding ring on Midge's finger on first glance caused some people to assume and lose their minds. Wal-mart took that model off the shelves. Collectors fled to Toys R Us at the time to grab one. That's how I got mine!
One Barbie they forgot to put in the movie was Butterfly Art Barbie. I bought it in 1998. It had tattoos and it came with temporary tattoos you can wear. it was referred to as "Tramp Stamp Barbie" and was pulled off of shelves quickly.
I received this Barbie as a birthday gift when I was around 6 or 7! I can't believe my mom let me keep it 😂 The doll clearly had no influence on me as I'm a tattoo-less adult 🤣
Well, Greta Gerwig (the director) had about two hours (119 minutes, to be exact) to tell the story. Therefore, you can only do so much. Also, she probably wanted to focus on Stereotypical Barbie's relationship with the world around her and her owner (Gloria). Which is most likely why Butterfly Art Barbie wasn't seen or mentioned here. I'm a male, so, I don't know what was popular and what wasn't.
I think that's what people are missing. Greta didn't create one barbie in the movie. All the Barbies were reference to actual Barbies, include the one that grew breasts. Almost everything in the movie is a reference to something Mattel did. This movie is as well (maybe even better) researched to the biopic Openheimer.
Saw both and couldn't agree more. Personally I enjoyed Oppenheimer and the actors were great but felt the directing, script, fell short of its hype. Whereas with Barbie everything was better researched, directed.
What I love about Greta is that all of the actors in her films seem to really love her and enjoy working for her. It seems like a great and fun working environment. Love that
im so glad they didnt cut that scene with the woman on the bench :’) im in my late twenties, but even as a super young teen i feared the thought of getting old. bc when youre young as long as you’re relatively healthy ur not gonna die unless an accident happens. but in my mind when you’re old it can just… happen. the body can just give up. and idk, i dont wanna die so i guess thats the fear. but its also superficial. society does not treat older women kindly. so me, growing up with barbies and adoring them and i still have them, seeing that scene did something for me. instantly brought me to tears.
The nods to Grease with John Travolta. Ken laughs like him in the beginning of the film and the scene where they dance in black outfits is similar to the Grease Lightening scene.
All of the flashes in the "Ken Discovers Patriarchy" moment show up throughout the movie. I was waiting for Grease Lightning to show up, and boy did it!
The pink stage location where the Kens danced in all black is an ode to Gene Kelly and Cyd Charisse in the 1952 "The Broadway Melody Ballet" from Singin' in the Rain. Gene Kelly was wearing all black.
I am 80 years old and although I did not pick up many easter eggs, I certainly enjoyed the film. Great music, costumes etc, wonderful ending to a good story.
The 2001: A Space Odyssey music that was played in the beginning when it was mirroring girls discovering Barbie also played when Ken discovered patriarchy in the real world. I've seen it twice in theaters and definitely will watch it again. It's such a good film.
Something I thought was really cool was that in the scene when she’s choosing between the shoes, the real world option is the Birkenstock.. and then that shoe gets tied back in at the very end of the movie
I just saw it this morning, and I loved it. Barbie was introduced the year before I was born, so I grew up with her. The movie brought back so many memories, especially Ken as someone you could easily just toss to the side in order to get on with the fun stuff with the other Barbies. There were also parts of the movie that nearly brought me to tears. I didn’t expect it to be so deep and moving.
Weird Barbie was originally a "Totally Hair Barbie"..when the Barbie's tell Barbie about Weird Barbie..they say she was the most beautiful Barbie ever..Totally Hair is the best selling Barbie ever.. when you see Gloria cutting her hair in the Flashback..she's got long crimped hair..and when Barbie comes back to Barbieland..Weird Barbie is wearing a jacket that has Totally Hair's signature dress pattern
The "Ken's identity problem" also happened in "the real-world" Gloria's husband, Sasha's father is only called "El Esposo de Gloria" only defined by his relationship with a more focal woman. actor Ryan Piers Williams, America Fereira's real husband.
1:01 and also weird barbie was a Totally Hair 2:19 the Ken on the belt is stylized as the Metallica logo 12:20 in the defunct dolls bunch there was also Teen Talk Barbie... The one who said "math is hard" ❤
Yes, Weird Barbie was TH Barbie - for many people the most beautiful doll like also Emma Mackay´s Barbie said about Weird Barbie, she was once the most beautiful Barbie. I was sad they didn´t talk about Teen Talk Barbie at all in movie. She was just there and nobody talked about her. :O
@@lubomirholik3104 but she was still there!!! They put the garments of the Teen Talk and she was part of the rebellion so I'm here for her..... And maybe the joke was to give her no lines at all
I LOVED “Gotta Kick It Up” … I knew that it couldn’t be a coincidence 😄 - I am a big fan of America”s. I am a 50yr old - so I got most of the Easter Eggs. I enjoyed the movie
I'm older too, and immediately saw the Stanley Kubrick reference, and the bible creation story. But I didn't know the movie Playtime with Jacques Tati, though I do know of Tati.
Yeah but "Sí se puede" is not a phrase coined by any movies. It was first used by the first union of mostly Mexican workers in plantations in the US in 1972. It is widely used in Latin America for any communal big efforts like sports, education, unions, protest and political campaigns because it means "yes we can" signifying that the team effort will get the group the victory. That's why the daughter tells the dad that it's cultural appropriation because he's white.
@@samanthamoreno2912 I am not sure why you felt the need to talk down to us and give us a history lesson on a post about “Easter Eggs” I am 50 years old and I am not an idiot! I know what it means … and that wasn’t even the point! They only threw threw that in because of “Got to Kick It Up” where that phrase was a huge part of the plot. OF COURSE THEY DIDN’T COIN THE PHRASE 🙄 … do you think all Caucasians are complete morons?
The Midge and Alan wedding and family story is on the back of the pregnant Midge boxes. Alan was also the father of Ryan, the toddler boy doll that came in the same box for the Happy Family doll series.
I had pregnant midge lol my siblings thought it was weird and would laugh about it a lot. I honestly just thought it was cute 😅 and it was an attempt at showing curious kids in a non health class way. Lol idk I enjoyed playing with it 🤷🏻♀️
You got the Si Se Puede fact wrong. The easter egg is that America Ferrera started the "She Se Puede" movement with Eva Longoria a few years back. At the end of the film when her character's husband gives encouragement to Barbie and says "She se puede", America's character jokingly says something like "be careful that's a trademarked statement". It's ironic because America Ferrera was the celebrity spokesperson for She Se Puede.
I kinda knew about the Ken's Stallone coat one. I knew some of the nostalgic Barbie outfits and accessories. I also knew that Midge and growing-up Skipper were actual dolls.
I can’t believe there was a Sugar Daddy Ken rofl… I also noticed Will Ferrell holding pink Drumsticks during the conference scene which instantly reminded me of Step Brothers.
🤦🤦🤦🤦 There is no way people could have "missed" the Number 1 topic on this list, unless they were asleep or didn't speak the language or had mental deficincies or something. The movie blatantly ponts out SEVERAL TIMES that the obscure discontinued Barbie brand characters were real official products. The end credits has a montage of those products too.
It was pretty fast paced - when I saw it, no one else was laughing or picking up on most of what I thought was funny- all the cultural references and pointing out blatant sexism.
@@elipotter369 People weren't laughing because the movie was boring af 😅 Ken and Allan were the only ones offering comedy since the film was too desperate to show women as smart and therefore couldn't give them jokes.
I don't remember seeing emotional abuse- I saw a guy who wanted a love from someone that they couldn't give becausethey didn'tfeel "in love" like he did. And he had some existential angst- which is something you have to work out within yourself.
I know I've already commented on the different Barbies I had as a kid in the 70s and 80s, I want to say that the original airplane, camper and Penthouse were much larger and were more realistic in their color scheme than later models. Also, I had Barbie's 79 purple Corvette which came with seatbelts and 3 different 8 Track tapes. Awesome toys!👏👏👏💖💖

I felt so seen with this movie! So wonderfully done. It's not surprising that these right winger men who are taking issue with it totally missed a key point about Ken's journey to be seen, as well.
The movie was so good i cried so much at the ending my cousin mom and brother were all dressed in pink our theater was packed and everyone was dressed up in pink we all understood the assignment
I laughed till I cried, and cried too! No one else laughed except at the cellulite and one other time - the verbal quipping, feminism and cultural references went over their heads. I wore pink and said hi to someone in pink after - she said no she hadn't seen Barbie, she wasn't going to go and see a stupid kid's movie about dolls. She didn't want to know that it was an adult movie.
After the incident in Venice beach what follows all humorously is the arrest of Barbie And Ken, showing them in the precinct holding these cards with their names on them... Notice that on Ken's stands "and Ken", not just "Ken"... It's all about this "and" or "just" that makes the difference. It's sth that caught my eye quite recently and made me appreciate the consistency in the details and the meaning that was plotted throughout the film.
Defunct Barbie dolls are just fine - they only freak out certain people in our population, the same people who think the sight of certain books, people, etc. will suddenly have some magic power over their kids LOL I say bring them back!

I can’t believe you missed the opportunity to say “welcome back to ms mojo dojo casa house”
😂
😂😂😂
literally lol
Omg yes such a missed opportunity 😭
This comment is everything
The movie is aggressively clever with its source material. Beautifully shot, brilliantly acted, brutally metacontextual, and lovingly crafted.
And your take was perfectly stated 😊
Enjoying it now in theatres someone will laying Ruth handler the immortal Mattel executive Barbie abs friends creator
Agreed!
A beautiful movie
Yes
What I noticed is that stereotypical Barbie didn’t want Ken was because Gloria never thought Barbie needed Ken in the first place
Like a fish needs a bicycle!
-Gloria Steinem
This is true- at least in my case growing up no one wanted a Ken doll - as a little girl getting a Ken was equivalent to getting socks as a gift. I never had any Ken or male Barbies or the knock off Kens unless it was a set deal like buying Barbie Princess of Swan Lake WITH Prince Daniel etc.

@@Gancanna OMG, Blaine! I totally forgot about him and how his name and everything was supposed to be cooler than Ken for millennial kids.
I’m glad they kept the woman on the bench. It was by far my favourite scene in the movie, just hit me in the heart different :)
Was that right before or after the home movie montage with the Billie Eilish song ? Yeah, I teared up during that scene.
@@ayf1983 No it's was when Barbie went to real world and understand looking around that not everyone is happy. She looked at Old lady and said You are beautiful and she replied "I know I am"
Sameee Idk why but It was so beautiful and soul touching scene ❤️
As an older woman, the women on the bench was a perfect moment and it made me cry.
Sure you're beautiful inside and out.
That was one of my favorite parts.
Me too!
Same!
Me too! I thought I was the only one crying 😭
That moment with Barbie and the old lady on the bench was so adorable, Ann Roth made the most out of her brief cameo!
It was, it’s a touching scene 💞
The "I know" reply wasn't expected but I respected it

I agree
How would you not expect Mattel to have a part in a movie about their best selling toys?
I spent the whole movie going “I can’t believe Mattel signed off on this.”
I had one of those Barbie and Tanner pooper scooper playsets as a kid, and my mind was blown to see him in the movie. Same goes for pregnant Midge.
I had Tanner too! I miss him

Barbie just made a BILLION dollars.
What an amazing feat for Margot, Greta and for all involved with making this wonderful movie 🙌
Greta Gerwig is the first female director to gross at least $1 billion!
Women like money
I love that Margot and Greta use “Yay space!” with each other.
You missed the one where the 4 girls at the school table have the same 4 names as the BRATZ dolls who don't like barbie lol
good catch!!!
I was like... someone has to comment this. Thank you!!
and the girl's name is SASHA
Even funnier, "Jade" liked Barbies... Jade's favorite color is PINK!
Will Ferrell has practically made a career in playing a businessman antagonist in TWO movies based on a popular toy line so far.
The conspiracy theory part of me says that mattel cel was lego's ferrels dad job.
He is so ridiculously over the top, that I thought he is Ken who escaped from Barbieland.
If I had a nickel for ever time Will Ferrell played a businessman antagonist in movies based on toy lines... I'd have two nickels which isnt a lot, but its world that it happened twice.
@masumi158 OMG I thought the same. I just knew that would be the plot twist.
Will as a businessman with pink drumsticks hints towards “more cowbells“.
I love how they included the discontinued dolls 😂
Weird barbie was my favorite!!! Of course I love Ryan goslings portrayel of Ken and kens ballad song
Poor earring magic Ken was missing his cockring though 😔
I can't believe the bench scene almost got cut! That was such a beautiful moment. How they managed to get us from laughing about Ken discovering patriarchy to crying over Barbie discovering human emotions in a matter of seconds will never stop amazing me!
“Does that mean Allan was the baby’s father?”
Yes, Allan was part of the Happy Family line, along with Midge, their son Ryan, the two babies Nikki and Cassandra (Midge was a pregnant doll twice), and a set of grandparents.
It was always super funny to me that parents thought it promoted teen pregnancy when Midge was intended to be a little bit older than Barbie (I think she was supposed to be 21 and Barbie was 19?), and she had been married to Allan for a few years at that point.
From watching the movie, it seemed to me Alan was a gay doll and solitary .
I'm just upset that Ken and Allan didn't get the romantic happy ending they both deserved together in the end.
@elipotter369 well the movie didnt create Alan, Mattel did. And Mattel made Alan as a married father and the movie didnt even mention that.
@@msvalentine1902 When Allan was introduced, he was just Ken's "buddy," and the whole aesthetic was very gay. At some point much later in history, he may or may not have become the one responsible for Pregnant Midge?

This is by far one of the best movies I've seen in a very long time. It is absolutely beautifully written

Well, Greta Gerwig (the director) had about two hours (119 minutes, to be exact) to tell the story. Therefore, you can only do so much. Also, she probably wanted to focus on Stereotypical Barbie's relationship with the world around her and her owner (Gloria). Which is most likely why Butterfly Art Barbie wasn't seen or mentioned here. I'm a male, so, I don't know what was popular and what wasn't.
I think that's what people are missing. Greta didn't create one barbie in the movie. All the Barbies were reference to actual Barbies, include the one that grew breasts. Almost everything in the movie is a reference to something Mattel did. This movie is as well (maybe even better) researched to the biopic Openheimer.
ur crazy if u think barbie is better than oppenheimer
Saw both and couldn't agree more. Personally I enjoyed Oppenheimer and the actors were great but felt the directing, script, fell short of its hype. Whereas with Barbie everything was better researched, directed.
Saw both back to back and I totally 100% agree with you.
That was not a Barbie that grew breasts. That was Growing Up Skipper.
@@fiora5643 I didn't see "Oppenheimer", I can't say. However, I loved "Barbie"!

She is amazing! So creative and intelligent! This movie was so well made and thought! Genius!
What I love about Greta is that all of the actors in her films seem to really love her and enjoy working for her. It seems like a great and fun working environment. Love that
@@HamdreasSo true. She.knows her stuff. Reminds me of Penny Marshall

11:31 That was my favourite. Also, kudos to Mattel for opening up their inventory. Midge was an interesting choice.
4:51 Tanner was the MVP of ‘Barbie’. It’s so ridiculous but great practical effect.
Everybody is missing the bit where they ride make believe horses. Straight out of Month Python and the Holy Grail.

Haha if ‘Barbie’ has a sequel, we need Bibble lol
You mean the candy that was featured on Victorious?
I love the woman on the bench scene. It may be my favourite part of the movie. Because she IS beautiful.
There was also a scene where Will Ferrel’s character was referencing a tickle fight. I took that a nod to Elf! :)
Yeah that's what I thought too!!!!!
I thought the same thing!!
12:09 He has a dog named Sugar. That’s why he’s Sugar Daddy 😂
We saw Oppenheimer and 30 minutes after we saw Barbie. Both my bf and I cried. Such an amazing movie

It is widely used in Latin America for any communal big efforts like sports, education, unions, protest and political campaigns because it means "yes we can" signifying that the team effort will get the group the victory. That's why the daughter tells the dad that it's cultural appropriation because he's white.
@@samanthamoreno2912 I am not sure why you felt the need to talk down to us and give us a history lesson on a post about “Easter Eggs”
I am 50 years old and I am not an idiot! I know what it means … and that wasn’t even the point! They only threw threw that in because of “Got to Kick It Up” where that phrase was a huge part of the plot.
OF COURSE THEY DIDN’T COIN THE PHRASE 🙄 … do you think all Caucasians are complete morons?
The Midge and Alan wedding and family story is on the back of the pregnant Midge boxes. Alan was also the father of Ryan, the toddler boy doll that came in the same box for the Happy Family doll series.
Kate McKinnon owned the weird Barbie character.
Dang, I remember the commercials for Growing Up Skipper! I was torn between being fascinated and disturbed.
I was dying when Weird Barbie pulled out the Birkenstocks 😭😭😭
The floating off the roof then holding her skirt down is a Marilyn Monroe white dress reference.
¡Si se puede! I missed that nod but I've been a fan of America Ferrera since her stint on Disney.
I had pregnant midge lol my siblings thought it was weird and would laugh about it a lot. I honestly just thought it was cute 😅 and it was an attempt at showing curious kids in a non health class way.
Lol idk I enjoyed playing with it 🤷🏻♀️
I wished they gave more role to Emma Mackey as well. 💖 She was sidelined in the whole film.
I went to see it today, and now I fully understand why it's made a billion dollars at the box office.
Definitely the smartest, funniest, most humane Billion Dollar movie ever!
I think another hilarious easter egg were the Kens obsession to singing Matchbox Twenty's Push 😂😂
That had me singing in my seat too
how is that an Easter egg?
You got the Si Se Puede fact wrong. The easter egg is that America Ferrera started the "She Se Puede" movement with Eva Longoria a few years back. At the end of the film when her character's husband gives encouragement to Barbie and says "She se puede", America's character jokingly says something like "be careful that's a trademarked statement". It's ironic because America Ferrera was the celebrity spokesperson for She Se Puede.
Not ironic. It's tongue in cheek. Also, it could be a callback to both the DCOM and her nonprofit.
Earing Magic Ken is an ICON !!
Speak for yourself! I loved my Tanner dog. Seeing him on the screen unlocked awesome memories😂
I love the narrator's use of the word "myth" when this video talks about the "creation myth". 😆
I loved everything about this movie ❤❤❤
I kinda knew about the Ken's Stallone coat one. I knew some of the nostalgic Barbie outfits and accessories. I also knew that Midge and growing-up Skipper were actual dolls.
Alecia Beth Moore Hart (P!nk) deserves to be a cameo
Missed opportunity to have her on the soundtrack
@@rahbeeuhright she could have been weird barbie it fits her
@@heavenkelley5608 good point.
@@heavenkelley5608 that would've been perfect
I thought so too!!!!!
I can’t believe there was a Sugar Daddy Ken rofl… I also noticed Will Ferrell holding pink Drumsticks during the conference scene which instantly reminded me of Step Brothers.
🤦🤦🤦🤦
There is no way people could have "missed" the Number 1 topic on this list, unless they were asleep or didn't speak the language or had mental deficincies or something.
The movie blatantly ponts out SEVERAL TIMES that the obscure discontinued Barbie brand characters were real official products.
The end credits has a montage of those products too.
It was pretty fast paced - when I saw it, no one else was laughing or picking up on most of what I thought was funny- all the cultural references and pointing out blatant sexism.
@@elipotter369 People weren't laughing because the movie was boring af 😅 Ken and Allan were the only ones offering comedy since the film was too desperate to show women as smart and therefore couldn't give them jokes.
@@xenondoro8573okay sweetheart
11. Ken is emotionally abused, and plays a funny rendition of “Push”
He’s a misunderstood hero.
I don't remember seeing emotional abuse- I saw a guy who wanted a love from someone that they couldn't give becausethey didn'tfeel "in love" like he did.
And he had some existential angst- which is something you have to work out within yourself.
Seeing this movie Today!!! So stoked!! Thanks ms Mojo!!!
I had a midge!!! Loved her🤣❤ always busy delivering her baby
2:40 I didn’t notice it at first but movie commentators pointed that out so then I connected the dots.
Yes the si se puede. I cried just hearing that reference. I was waiting for bettys poncho to show up. Casting america ferrara was such great choice.
Movie was amazing! I want a sequel including Teresa, Christie her little sisters and of course her archnemesis Raquelle
And Kelly!!
Same I was missing Christie cuz she was my fav growing up and Nichelle from my generation
I laughed at the idea of Skipper babysitting in the real world as a horrifying "Noodle Incident" 😂
I know I've already commented on the different Barbies I had as a kid in the 70s and 80s, I want to say that the original airplane, camper and Penthouse were much larger and were more realistic in their color scheme than later models.
Also, I had Barbie's 79 purple Corvette which came with seatbelts and 3 different 8 Track tapes.
Awesome toys!👏👏👏💖💖
As a little girl who loved Barbie i cried like a baby at the end
Men keep forgetting how BOSS fur is. First Stallone had to remind us, then Pitt, and now Gosling.
This movie was FANTASTIC!!! I mainly watched it because Ben Shapiro posted about how much he hated it. Then I LOVED it! lol

That is true but it was the motto of the movie that America Ferrea was in so the line had double meaning.
"I'm Allen and I can wear all of Ken's clothes"
Thank you for noting that your interview was prior to the SAG - AFTRA strike. I appreciate that. Go union!
I felt so seen with this movie! So wonderfully done. It's not surprising that these right winger men who are taking issue with it totally missed a key point about Ken's journey to be seen, as well.
They forgot Barbie’s friends Christy and Theresa.
The movie was so good i cried so much at the ending my cousin mom and brother were all dressed in pink our theater was packed and everyone was dressed up in pink we all understood the assignment
I laughed till I cried, and cried too! No one else laughed except at the cellulite and one other time - the verbal quipping, feminism and cultural references went over their heads.
I wore pink and said hi to someone in pink after - she said no she hadn't seen Barbie, she wasn't going to go and see a stupid kid's movie about dolls.
She didn't want to know that it was an adult movie.
@@elipotter369how awful!
You know Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling should meet Jodi Benson and Micheal Keaton.
I loved Jodi and Michael when they both voiced Barbie and Ken in the Toy Story franchise! ❤️
That'd be kinda meta 😅
Omg I never knew the pregnant Midge was controversial. I had that exact doll, but eventually lost her magnetic belly lol
After the incident in Venice beach what follows all humorously is the arrest of Barbie And Ken, showing them in the precinct holding these cards with their names on them... Notice that on Ken's stands "and Ken", not just "Ken"... It's all about this "and" or "just" that makes the difference. It's sth that caught my eye quite recently and made me appreciate the consistency in the details and the meaning that was plotted throughout the film.
Loved the bench scene, it was very moving
There is another! The 4 teens at the high-school table are the BRATZ dolls...the each have the same names and costumes!
I didn’t like it the first time I watched it but adored it the second time around! Ken is definitely the best character tho lol
OMG! I thought they were KIDDING about Sugar Daddy Ken! He was really a thing!
Defunct Barbie dolls are just fine - they only freak out certain people in our population, the same people who think the sight of certain books, people, etc. will suddenly have some magic power over their kids LOL I say bring them back!
I used to own the pregnant barbie, forgot that the baby bed came with it until I saw it again in the movie XD.
Also Will Ferrell holding Drumsticks could be a nod to his side gig as The Drummer for the Red Hot Chili Peppers
"The creation MYTH?" Wish you wouldn't have included that in this otherwise great video.
I'm so glad to say I did NOT miss any of this easter eggs haha
The Barbie journey from the Barbie land to the real world is symbolic of the transition from girlhood to womanhood.
Ann Roth hails from Hanover, PA where I live.
My main Barbie was redhead Diva from ‘Barbie and the Rockers’ 🎸
If Barbie comes out on DVD, I’m buying it! 📀🩷
Me Mojo: “cinophiles”
My brain: *The Lonely Island calling Michael Bolton a cinophile*
"Like, Like, Like," Valley Boys are real, and I hate it!!! Lolololol
Greta Gerwig can do no wrong.
Kate McKinnon is gorgeous.
I noticed the Adam and Eve thing while watching and the “si se puerde” from gotta kick it up!!
