This feels like a bunch of them got together at an Oscar’s afterparty one night, and in a drunken stupor were just like “what if ALL of us made a movie?”
The truth is, almost all of the animated Barbie movies (which are more, fantails featuring Barbie as an actress) are well voiced, written and directed. Company has standards. Also half the movies have queer readings
If you look at the character posters they distinguish between humans and Barbies (a species that apparently includes her friends and family?)... combined with the Real World road sign, I wonder if this suggests some kind of Pinocchio story concerning the manufactured nature of the Barbie World.
I believe so, the leaked pictures from when they were filming showed Margot and Ryan in these gaudy neon clothes surrounded by regular people in regular locations, seems the main plot is they go to the real world for some reason Hell if you look at Kate McKinnon’s poster it looks like she’s playing a broken Barbie who’s kid drew on her, cut her hair, ruined her dress then broke the joints in her legs so she’s always doing the splits so there is probably a fake world and real world colliding narrative
From what I've read, the plot concerns the Margot Robbie Barbie being kicked out of Barbie Land after having some form of nervous breakdown over her existence as a Barbie, which to me sounds like it's going to explore the expectations placed upon these archetypes of femininity... also, if you look at the character posters which were also released by Warner, they present a lot of Barbies, each with a different profession, but they present the Kens as "he's just Ken" or "he's also Ken", which I think will also play into the satirical look at the idea of Barbie. I'm excited for this, not just because it's a Greta Gerwig film (Lady Bird is one of my favorite coming-of-age comedies of the last ten years, and while I had some structural issues with it, I did adore a lot of her take on Little Women), but because she co-wrote the script with her partner Noah Baumbach (who wrote and directed Marriage Story and The Squid and the Whale... he also co-wrote Fantastic Mr. Fox with Wes Anderson), and I think that combination will give this film a very potent satirical bite. I also think Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling are perfectly cast.
this movie looks so fun! I know movies have been going more serious lately and I think it's a little sad, but I am definitely gonna watch it in theaters.
Isn't this movie the reason Ncuti Gatwa wasn't available to play the Doctor in time for the 60th Anniversary? This trailer aside, that also makes me curious: for the _Doctor Who_ connection. Also, I'm getting "Beach Party" movie vibes (the ones with Annette Funicello, from the 1960s), so maybe the plot will be a parody of those films.
I think that based on the trailer they might go the enchanted route to visit the "real" world. With the travel where Ken popped into the car unexpectedly.
That’s what I think too. I hope they spend a fair amount of time in the Barbie world because that part looks very funny and we haven’t seen anything from them in the “real world.” It could fall flat once they get there. Or it could have real Elf energy. I’m definitely going to see it. It seems like my kind of thing.
I am excited about this. I was such a Barbie kid! This feels very much like how a kid in the '80s or '90s would play with them. I hope this is in the same vein as the Lego Movie! There's definitely a lot of adult/meta humor here. I look forward to catching as many of the easter eggs as I possibly can!
I have to say that your reaction while watching it was almost identical to mine. I just keep think, "What is this movie?!" No idea if I'll watch it, but it looks interesting if nothing else.
LOL Michael Cera. First time watching the trailer too! Glad I got to watch it with you! 😊 Not sure how it’s going to play out, but totally excited to watch something silly and visually pleasing lol
My only gripe here is that I'm not seeing any of Barbie's family in the credits. Skipper, Stacie, Todd, Tutti, Kelly/Chelsea, Francie, Jazzie. There's also no Courtney (Skipper's best friend). None of the family or friends I grew up with Barbie and Ken having, except Gloria, Midge and Allan are there.
It seems the answer to the big question of plot is already seen in the trailer itself. Barbie is driving past a sign that says Real World This Way. It would seem to be YET ANOTHER cartoon/magical/game/fiction character visits "Reality" and gets a nasty surprise and rude awakening. Barbie will likely dump Ken cause he's so fake and will either stay in the real world or go back to Barbie World and change it to be "better". Who's gonna take bets on this?
Vera, did you ever see the Karen Carpenter story that was all done with stop motion Barbie dolls? I vaguely remember it, and it's whats convincing me that there ARE ideas to be tapped here.
I immediately mentally booked my ticket when I saw her stepping out of the shoes. That’s such a golden BARBIE thing and I had the same reaction as you. As for plot, considering Barbie’s driving towards a ”real world this way” sign, plus being sad/sighing at Ken following her, all signs points to her leaving Barbieland and entering the real world. Will Ferrel’s clip looks like a business meeting board, my question is if they’ll go meta enough to make it a Mattell meeting board.
From what I can glean from Ryan’s interviews, it seems like Barbie and Ken are going to the real world, so Barbie’s gonna inevitably face misogyny… and I have a feeling Ken won’t like that.
The mistake was assuming Barbie is a kids movie just because Barbie is in it, when they announced before they even had an official cast that it wouldn't be.
The impression it gives me is off 2 young kids playing with Barbie dolls in real life. The actions of some of the characters, the not knowing what they’re doing about when stopping over (i.e. no idea about sex). Think it’ll be a bit like the Lego movie in the sense that’s it’s a kid in the real world playing with these with Will Ferrell once again being one of the outside figures.
The scale of her car! I wonder if Will Ferrell is reprising his Lego Movie role? Anyway, since Barbie is driving to "the Real World", most of this trailer stuff might just be in the beginning (and end?) of the movie?
I am genuinely so intrigued by this movie. The huge cast, the very unique style it's giving and I'm intrigued to see what the plot is. My guess is better maybe realising she's not "real" then trying to find her way here, ultimately landing in the conclusion of realising self worth. That's legit just need on the car bit and I'm intrigued to see what exactly the plot ends up being, however close or far I am.
Will Ferrell is playing "Mattel CEO" so I'm assuming the two lead Barbie & Ken leave Barbie World and enter the real world... And maybe confront Mattel?
Somewhere (I don’t remembered where) I read that then plot is that in Barbieland the women rules because all the professions and Ken only be ken, and Barbie want to meet the real world so when they came here (ken tag along) Barbie is very surprised and terrified because here the men rules, and Ken wants to transform Barbieland into Kenland. In hear is very heavy in gender politics in a very satirical way.
It certainly looks like a fun movie, even if we can’t get a sense of the substance of the film. The cast is bonkers for who they got and how they get to play with the archetypes of each iteration of Barbie and Ken. I’m intrigued
I expected it to be a normal V/O Barbie movie... This is NOT. This is pure satire, and I'm not even sure kids will understand it at all. It looks really good.
This movie looks like the producers dropped acid and then had a conversation with their kids barbie dolls. It looks so stupid it might actually be enjoyable.
I believe there is going to be a trailer coming with maybe more plot. Because this was labeled as Teaser Trailer 2. I know the plot was originally going to be about Barbie being kicked out of Barbieland for her perceived flaws. But it’s likely been re-written since then. I did read somewhere she was still leaving Barbieland but maybe by choice now.
Just here to point out the Barbie that got played with a little too hard here at 1:31 . Hair chopped, face scribbled on, wearing mismatched clothes. This is the Barbie you find between the couch cushions or under the seat in the car.
This movie looks like it might manage to walk the fine line of being humorous enough for adults while being innocent enough for children. I might actually watch it and I’m a grown woman over forty.
Greta Gerwig writing/directing it had never sold before any trailers or posters came out. Plus Hari Neff, a trans woman, is playing one of the barbies which is beyond awesome.
its look a lot to me like a Lego Movie sitation, where in general its gonna be satire of the Barbie brand, but with a spin of something beyond, especially the sing that say "Real word this way" almost like we are gonna se the real girl that is playing with the dolls and do some meta commentaries. I just hope if thats the case that the story and the message are unique enough to make it standing out, bacause its look like a lot of love is put in the movie and a lot of talent is behind it.
I am worried that the 'real world' thing will turn it into all of the modern 'oh look this fictional character popped into our reality how wacky!' boring corporate movies, but I'm going to stay hopeful given the people that are involved with it.
Ugh same. I too am unsure about this movie but also kinda curious. I sort of want to watch it for Margot Robbie alone, because even if the movie is ass she generally gives a great performance, but I'm also not super thrilled about the trailer. It looks too generic. From what I understand, atleast based on some rumours that have been circling around for a while, Margot's Barbie is deemed too unfitting/bland because all the other Barbies have some unique feature but she doesn't and ends up traveling from Barbie Land to the real world to find herself. I guess that's a decent plot if it really ends up being the case. So Lego Movie comparisons might be fitting here. There's also speculation that it'll borrow partially from Truman Show based on some alleged socila media profile Robbie secretly had but I'm kinda sceptical about that. Honestly, at this point it's Schrödinger's Movie to me. Equal chances of being either shit or the greatest thing ever put on film. I'm still hesitant.
Everything I've seen about this movie makes me feel like it was made especially for me. I am a lifelong Barbie collector, and my favorite movie of all time is _2001: A Space Odyssey,_ but I also love self-aware silly movies like _Spice World_ and _Romy & Michele's High School Reunion._ But I'm also cognizant of the fact that an amazing cast and an acclaimed director don't automatically guarantee a successful end result. I look no further than _Babylon_ to demonstrate that a movie can still go very, very off the rails in spite of having all the right elements on paper.
Fun fact: Whichever person suggested that was immediately fired into the sun! That movie would have cost the studio lots of money with no return on it or their dignity 😂😂
I feel like it's aimed at adults who played with Barbies and other toys mainly in the 90s-00s. There's just a certain mentality in the characters that feels like the play of my wife and her friends's generation back then. Sort of like Turning Red, except without also being for kids.
What I'm really hoping for is something with the feel of "Life in the Dreamhouse" which I found shockingly entertaining and hilarious when I watched it with my kiddo. It was kind of like parody, and it was really fun.
This movie has the potential to be incredible social satire, with decades of history to work with. But it's Warner Bros. Not the WB of today, but still the WB of the last decade plus. I would trust Gerwig and Baumbach to deliver something good, but...this trailer comes off more like the Baywatch movie, so....
The posters show that the movie includes Midge, a doll that was quickly discontinued for supposedly promoting teen pregnancy. Expect some quite cutting jokes about that.
The Midge doll wasn't a teenager when she was pregnant; she was part of a Happy Family pack. Midge was Barbie's first friend - my Mom had a Midge before she had a Barbie. I would love to see more of the expanded cast - Midge, Skipper, Ryan, Raquelle (basically the whole Life in the Dreamhouse cast).
@@Rmlohner Controversies over toys don't often make sense, so fair. Also, I just saw the Midge poster, so the comment about the pregnancy makes a lot more sense now.
I probably see this being liked by the Barbie fandom I only watched the trailer to see what the doctor was going to look like in this and he was barely in the trailer and I looked at the comment section of the trailer and it felt like there was a lot of overlying praising comments that felt like bots cause I didn’t see people voicing concern about the movie actually being good not that people can’t be excited for it but there still should have been those skeptical people
I saw the preview in the theater when I went to see Ant Man...I can say there is no movie I want to see less than this one. Although this wasn't the trailer in theaters. This one was better.
They aren’t showing the plot on purpose, the movie is about keb realizing that in the real world men have more power and him being frustrated with Barbie land is rule by Barbie
@@arilarz5679 I just watched her video and she didn't say that. She did say there are gender dynamics in play, which is obvious, but I think you're reading into that a little.
I think there may be a hint to the plot in the movie posters. Don't want to give it away but pay close attention to the caption for each character poster.
This feels like a bunch of them got together at an Oscar’s afterparty one night, and in a drunken stupor were just like “what if ALL of us made a movie?”

I'm thinking maybe something in the line of Enchanted?
I'm hoping for Westworld, myself.
A Josie and the Pussycats (2001) style story could also be great, hey I can dream
She’s everything, he’s just Ken

K, I paused and saw him @2:02, to the right of Simu Liu 😊
@@FOJO27 quick eye!
I think so, but also Sex Education.
Andre (Black Nerd) summed this up quite nicely. It's certainly going for a lego movie vibe. I agree, and like him, I'm here for it.
It's even got Lord President Business in it.
The trailer really feels like a kid playing with her dolls. I think they're going to do a LEGO Movie type of thing.
They should have a G.I. Joe cameo, but keep him at two thirds Barbies size...
I think it'll be Trumanshowesque and I think they are keeping the story out of the trailer for the twist
I think that based on the trailer they might go the enchanted route to visit the "real" world.

Come on Barbie, let's go party
ah ah ah yeah!
I heard somewhere that the song won't be in the movie. Come on, put it in there.
I mean, I don’t know if I’ll go see it in theaters, but I may watch it when it hits digital. Consider me intrigued.

This is my favourite reaction video yet! 😂💕

i think you missed the last bit: there was a sign "real world". so a roadtrip thru, well, our world is the plot I assume.
Scrolling through the cast on IMDB is fun. like 80% of the characters are named "barbie" or "ken".
It's going to be crap.
I'll just wait for the Pitch Meeting for Barbie.
Will Ferrell is playing "Mattel CEO" so I'm assuming the two lead Barbie & Ken leave Barbie World and enter the real world... And maybe confront Mattel?
I think the marketing of using pure chaos and leaving the watchers clueless is landing. Kudos to the marketing department😆
Comes out the same day as Christopher Nolan's 'Oppenheimer'.
Anyone else getting Enchanted vibes from this movie?
Somewhere (I don’t remembered where) I read that then plot is that in Barbieland the women rules because all the professions and Ken only be ken, and Barbie want to meet the real world so when they came here (ken tag along) Barbie is very surprised and terrified because here the men rules, and Ken wants to transform Barbieland into Kenland.

Around 1:05 you see a sign "Real World This Way" I think we get some Barbie Action in the real world. Cinderella? Pinocchio?
Barbie is going to compete with Oppenheimer because they both premieres on July 21
It certainly looks like a fun movie, even if we can’t get a sense of the substance of the film. The cast is bonkers for who they got and how they get to play with the archetypes of each iteration of Barbie and Ken. I’m intrigued
I expected it to be a normal V/O Barbie movie... This is NOT. This is pure satire, and I'm not even sure kids will understand it at all. It looks really good.
This movie is also PG-13. A PG-13 Barbie movie.
Love that the Rollerblades are the essential equipment for the life altering/universe shattering trip.
I was thinking more of an Enchanted ish maybe?
This movie looks like the producers dropped acid and then had a conversation with their kids barbie dolls. It looks so stupid it might actually be enjoyable.
The fact the trailer gives nothing in terms of plot makes me so happy. Trailers these days give so much away, I find.

Might be about the pursuit of individuality? That way they could show off all her careers & end with them all getting their new names
The LEGO Movie really has a lot to answer for, doesn't it.
Absolutely love your reaction. #gold ❤

Today's trailer has the plot you're looking for. It looks like a lot of fun.

Hair chopped, face scribbled on, wearing mismatched clothes. This is the Barbie you find between the couch cushions or under the seat in the car.
Still bummed that Barbie Girl by Aqua will not be featured in the film
a light fun film is pretty much a palette cleaner from the weird reality we are in.
Thanks for a fun trailer review. I’m here for your review of the film itself. Just going to watch it again … 🤣
I don’t know a single thing about Barbie, besides that it’s a doll and the song.
This movie looks like it might manage to walk the fine line of being humorous enough for adults while being innocent enough for children. I might actually watch it and I’m a grown woman over forty.

For me it's giving the Brady Bunch movie and that makes me extremely excited if the humor lands.
I am surprised that Mattel allowed them to get away with all these innuendos.
I suspect Greta Gerwig used her clout off of Little Women to get a decent amount of creative freedom.
