Looks fun!

The latest trailer delves much deeper into the plot.
their advertising campaign has been a spectacular success online it seems. no fear going up against oppenheimer either. really looking forward to seeing it to be honest
No, it will be a massive success.
I think this film might be lurking in the grass over your 100% track record. If this is "just" Brand Management and nothing else I could see a bit of a Gerwig backlash incoming from those expecting something "more". Reality of Hollywood today is this might be the film she needed to make to allow <something else> happen. It's kinda how things have gone.
100% track record vs a not 100% track record - smaller sample size though 😁
Seriously though, I think both Lady Bug and Little Women are genuinely outstanding films. It’d take a rare director indeed to convince me to go to see a Barbie film, but here we are!
My understanding of the basic plot is that Barbie is exiled from BarbieLand so I'd assume that happens early on and the vast majority of those other Barbie and Kens will just be in scenes like we see in the trailer, where she's waving at people on the street or at the beach or similar. Maybe the occasional scene of what's happening in BarbieLand while Margot Barbie is in the real world.
I can't see that entire cast having legitimate speaking roles in the film, right?
I hope it plays the real world scenes like The Brady Bunch Movie and A Very Brady Sequel. Like they're all playing it deadly serious.
A thought occurs: is This generation's Speed Racer?
I'm not entirely sure western audiences can or want, to handle live action cartoons. Though it's a stronger pre-existing brand mind you.
Ach, you would, lol 😂
The more posters I see, the more insane this cast is becoming!

New short trailer.....
I’d honestly rate Greta Gerwig above Nolan in my own personal ‘great modern directors’ pantheon, so there’s going to be an interesting weekend this summer :)
I love that its going up against Nolan's Oppenheimer at the box office. Some people are just going to lose their minds that week.
watched starship troopers again at the weekend. hopefully something similar to that !!
I still have no idea what to make of this: just another exercise in Brand Management Cinema, or subversive genius? Both, probably, with a larger aftertaste of the former ... but it's certainly commiting to the bit.
Ken again! 😄
I can't wait for this. It's either going to be amazing or pure trash.

Great trailer, very excited about this. Saw a Tweet that showed the very first Barbie doll which came in the black and white swimsuit
Hmmm, which is which?

I bet they're just pretending they don't have it so when it's actually included everyone will be delighted.
Studio couldn't secure the rights to it, apparently.
Which is ironic, considering Aqua didn't have Mattel's permission to release the song in the first place.
Now will Aqua profit from this film in any way? Or will there be a remixed or slow version of their song?
So strange. 2001 homage to start things off. Still, it'll get people talking.
Uh.
That is an interesting teaser
I tried to delete my thread on this but can't seem to 🤷♀️
Anyway.... I hated Lady Bird, loved Little Women. No idea what to expect from this one, but that teaser is fantastic.
That logo reveal gag… I’m in, Greta (who is two for two so far as far as I’m concerned)
That is a cracking trailer! :D
