    Loyal Theorists, we have found the Simpon’s hometown of Springfield; we’ve even found Peter Pan’s Neverland. But WHERE in the world is Barbieland? Margot Robbie’s Barbie and Ryan Gosling’s Ken travel by boat, roller blades, rocket, car, and more to leave their world and enter ours. But, according to the Barbie Movie logic their world is also in our world. Grab a map and let’s get to searching!

    One small problem with the routing. The Desert scene clearly displays a Saguaro Cactus, which is only found in the Sonoran Desert that is located in California, Arizona, and north western Mexico. That means Barbie and Ken had to go around Baja California until they reached the Sonoran Desert in the Mexican state of Sonora and then travel to the Chihuahuan Desert and then on to Monterrey.

    The only addition that I would make to this theory is that Monterrey is actually a Kendom. We have Cola de caballo (horse tail) cascade and our most emblematic mountain is called Cerro de la Silla (saddle mountain). Most of our grampas houses look like a Mojo Dojo Casa House due to the horse depictions.

    Officially, according to Barbie lore, Barbie and her friends lives in Malibu (especially in the Life on the Dreamhouse series), which is located in California, United States. And I don't think there's any need to look for Malibu because it's not lost, but still in its own place in Los Angeles County when I last checked on Google Maps. One funny fact, by the way, that Barbie's website once said that Barbie moved to the Malibu beach pad from Willows, Wisconsin.

    As a Danish person, I had to look up the whole tulip thing, because I have never seen a tulip field in Denmark, turns out there's a reason for that, there's only a small handful of tulip farmers in Denmark, who collectively have 40 hectares, where only 4 hectares, are for farming tulips, so I have no idea where that stereotype comes from, plus that village, looks nothing like Denmark, not even old school Denmark, maybe Holland, don't know, I have never been there.

    Film Theory idea:
    In Brave we say that Merida and her three brothers have ginger hair which makes sense their father also has ginger hair but their mother has brown hair so genetics say that at least one of their children would have brown hair too but they don’t which makes me think that the queen isn’t actually their mother and Marisa’s father had an affair with someone else(who has ginger hair) to have his children.
    I’d be very honoured if this turns into a video or even just a short.
