About Barbie?

The Barbie doll has been around since 1959 with multiple editions, such as the Barbie Dreamhouse, Barbie Vacation, and the Barbie World. She is one of the most famous dolls of all time with sales in the billions. The current version is called American Girl and comes in a variety of skin tones, from black to Hispanic and Asian. The only Barbies left are from Mattel’s Aloha series — which feature Hawaiian girls who are “child slaves” — but Mattel no longer makes those Barbies for sale. This Film will be the first live-action barbie film after several animated films and television specials. The first Barbie film was made in 2001. Currently, there are three animated feature-length Barbie films: Barbie Fairytopia: Magic of the Rainbow (2007), Barbie and the Diamond Castle (2008), and Barbie in a Mermaid Tale 2 (2011). In addition to this is a 24-part TV series titled “Barbie as The Island Princess”, released in 2006; a direct-to-video release.

What is the film about? 

The Barbie movie is described as an “adventurous comedy.” According to Variety, the story will center on a woman who is kicked out of Barbieland for being “less than perfect.” She then sets off to find true happiness and lands in the real world. Ryan Gosling will play the woman’s love interest in the film. The film has just as many male celebrities as it does female stars, but the story and visuals are meant to be gender-neutral, according to Variety. As of right now, there is no official plot synopsis for the movie, although the Barbie Movie Facebook page has revealed this long list of celebrity characters that will star in the anticipated live-action film.
