GeraldAfter much teasing, we finally have an idea of what the Barbie movie will be all about.
And it involves her getting an existential crisis. Oh boy.
But the trailer actually goes much further than that and explores how Barbie must figure out how to learn outside of her figurative box and step into the new world. And Ken (Ryan Gosling) would be her sidekick in figuring it all out together.
One interesting point would be the inclusion of the 1997 hit ‘Barbie Girl’ by Aqua. The song was once embroiled in a trademark infringement lawsuit, but it now seems to be water under the bridge. Over on Apple Music, there’s a track called ‘Barbie World’ from Nicki Minaj, Ice Spice and Aqua.
Barbie is set to hit theaters 21 July.
Gerald currently straddles between his love of video games and board gaming. There’s nothing that interests him more than trying out the newest and fanciest gadget in town as well. He dreams of publishing a board game sometime in the future!
