Based on the 1844 French tale The Three Musketeers by Alexandre Dumas, this 16th film entry and the first to depict the original debut Barbie wordmark logo stars Barbie as Corinne, a brave girl who longs to become a fighter and protect the French royal family just as her father has. Corinne is disappointed to discover girls are not allowed to be musketeers. Instead, Corinne and three scullery maids, Viveca, Aramina, and Renee all share the same desire to fight as musketeers and defend the royal family. All four are trained in secret by a swordmaster and soon put their talent to work to save Prince Louis, who has a hidden affection for Corrine. When Barbie becomes a human in the real world, she is wearing pink sandals, indicating that she has ultimately chosen a balance between the two. Near the end of the movie when Barbie is going through a funk about not being able to live up to the unrealistic beauty standards that she represents anymore, the narrator chimes in and notes that casting Margot Robbie for this role undercuts the message of the scene. In the Latin American Spanish dub, José Antonio Macías (Beach Ken) previously voiced James, another Dogged Nice Guy hanging around with another pretty girl, except this time, both characters are the heroes of the story, rather than the villains, at least at first for Ken for a while.As part of the plan to un-brainwash the Barbies in the Kendom, President Barbie sits down with a Ken who's watching The Godfather and puts on a ditzy act that she's never seen it, to which he jumps at the chance to explain its brilliance in an attempt to impress her; he calls it "a rich blend of Coppola's aesthetic genius and a triumph for Robert Evans and the architecture of the '70s studio system". Barbie begins to adopt this when her perfect life begins to clash with her mounting existential anxieties, having to hide them with a smile when around others in Barbieland.

This 42nd and latest film entry stars Barbie's younger sister, Skipper, a touted babysitting expert, as she takes a summer job at a water park and tries out different first jobs with some new friends when her babysitting business hits a snag. She uses babysitting skills to save a nearly-collapsed birthday party at the park. The success renews Skipper's confidence in her babysitting business and she and her new friends start a babysitting squad. [67] See also [ edit ] Despite complaints, many women who played with the doll credit Barbie with providing an alternative to restrictive 1950s gender roles. Unlike baby dolls, Barbie did not teach nurturing. Outfitted with career paraphernalia, the doll was a model for financial self-sufficiency. (Barbie’s résumé includes, among other things, airline pilot, astronaut, doctor, Olympic athlete, and United States presidential candidate.) Nor was the doll defined by relationships of responsibility to men or family. Barbie has no husband or offspring. When in the early 1960s consumers clamoured for a Barbie-scale baby, Mattel did not make Barbie a mother but issued a “Barbie Baby-Sits” playset. Goldberg, Lesley (18 February 2021).

Even the Guys Want Him: When Stereotypical Barbie and Beach Ken first arrive on Venice beach, Barbie immediately notes how she is being ogled by all the men. Ken points out that he can feel the same thing, right before an obviously Camp Gay tennis player is shown saying "Ooh, love that!" in his direction. Deus ex Machina: Lampshaded. Once in the real world, Stereotypical Barbie believes she knows exactly where to find her "girl" by meditating really hard. Not only is it also played sombrely by showing the "girl" as outgrowing her dolls and rejecting her mom, it also doesn't lead her to her actual owner, just to the "girl" in her visions... who now hates her and everything she stands for.Romi Park (Weird Barbie) previously voiced a character trying to help a doll to return to normal, except that last time, it was his brother's soul living inside an animated armor. The FBI are shown to be the first people to become aware of Barbie’s trip to the Real World, but other than notifying Mattel, they don’t raise a finger to do anything about the situation.
