Both Barbie movies are way more based than they had any right to be.
That's from Toy Story 3, though.
Oh, forgive my ignorance. I just assumed there was a Barbie movie that I didn't see.
There are 52 barbie movies.
All both of them!
Whole Lee chet! I had no idea!
2023 Barbie is nowhere near based, it feels like a half baked apology from Mattel, who happens to be the ones which forced unrealistic body types over women for a whole century
Honestly, not a good movie either, can't recall rn but I feel like 25% of it was about mattel corpo propaganda.
Some of it was fun though. I liked the flashy songs
Mattel made a movie based on their toy line and it had an agenda?? I'm aghast!
I get where you're coming from, but the new Barbie film was pretty based if you take a step back and examine it as a whole. I mean the whole Ken takeover of the Barbie village is strangely prophetic, given the whole trump takeover (so happy my small town had the biggest protest I've ever seen from her yesterday!) and the snippet about Margot explaining what fascism means. And this is coming from a 6'6 270lbs. Cis het ally with a shaved head and fairly thick beard. I enjoyed it for what it was. Yeah it's no citizen Kane, but it definitely hit higher than it's weight class.
“Both”? Brother, there are way more than 2 Barbie movies. Waaaaaaay more.
The Barbie: Life in the Dreamhouse show is way better than you would expect it to be. Like not “good” necessarily but fun.
