Not an easter egg but i giggled when i saw that the LAPD arrest placard had "Barbie" for Margot and "And Ken" for Ryan 😂
I just finished watching the movie, and I appreciated all of the references, including the cameos and Easter Eggs.
same hahahaha
Did you go to the theater or did you see it online? And how would you rate it. Thank you
@@Nyneefah I saw it in the cinema, along with several pink cosplayers. I thought that it was mostly goofy fun, a solid 7 out of 10, though it got a tad preachy in places. How would you rate it?
Shut up

“A tad preachy” it was preachy from beginning to end, if it wasn’t for the fact I respect and love my partner who wanted to watch this movie I’d have walked out not halfway through. What I thought would be a journey into pink kitschness with a clever undertone of female empowerment turned into a divisive and spiteful attack on half the population. I’d give it 4/10 and that’s only because of Gosling’s and Robbie’s performances and the production values.
Midge and Alan were married in 90s. They even had twins for some time. "Pregnant Midge" was, in fact, having a THIRD child together with Alan. Yes, there was a controversy over her not wearing a wedding ring cuz people FORGOT about Alan. Parents just forgot about Midge being married to Alan. I was alive at that time, too. 💀
Not so much an easter egg, but I caught on quite quickly that ALL of the dialog was sort of being role played by various family members, some of whom were never shown on screen. There's an invisible toddler running the CEO (hence why he's shown holding pink drum sticks.) Gerwig apparently directed Gosling to cry as her four year old son cries; I got the impression than much of Ken was being run by a younger brother, the kind who got super excited when he learned about the patriarchy but less so when he learned it wasn't just about horses.

@@theamberheardplaylist6768both are awful people. But that's the norm in their world
Oh that's a nice take! I'll have to re-watch thinking of that perspective 😊
the attention to detail is unbelievable. amazing. the references, the set, the outfits, everything.
The barbieland version of Mt Rushmore is all of the first edition/original Barbies ie. the og 1959 Barbie, the first black barbie Christie, barbie’s first latina friend Theresa etc
Scott!! Nobody is talking about Scott!! In one of the scenes of the Chelsea tree house, where Skipper lives, there’s a guy on the swing. That’s Scott: Skipper’s old boyfriend from the late 70’s. She came out when the Roller Skates Barbie & Ken came out. As part of the collection, there was a Skipper with a skateboard and also a long purple skirt. Scott was part of the collection. I had the other dolls, but not Scott
You rule!!! Best Easter egg find!!!
I was wondering who that guy was. Thanks!
There was also a Derek in the mid-1980s who was with Barbie and the Rockers.
So there's Ken, Allan....and Scott
This movie is so awesome. I went with all my girlfriends and we spent the whole time roaring with laughter, as did the rest of the audience. There was a man behind us who kept making little comments during serious scenes that cracked us up, too, like, “Whoa, that’s deep,” and after a sad part, “I’m gonna need a beer after this movie.” The movie didn’t strike my friends and I as woke. It was just from the POV of girls/women. Men who aren’t used to thinking from that POV see it as as strange and extreme, but none of the women I know do. It disappoints me that more men don’t understand the movie, but then, it wasn’t made for them.
I disagree. It shows that both men and women have vulnerabilities and neither need not get trapped with infatuation. It was just as bad as when Ken was infatuated with Barbie as it was when the Barbies were infatuated with the Ken. Neither reflect healthy relationships, which is why Barbie didn't want to return Barbieland to how it was previously. Barbie felt an Agape love for Ken. She didn't want to hurt him despite not having romantic feelings for him.
@@crystalward1444Are you sure you are replying to the right comment?
@@crystalward1444 How are you disagreeing with me…? Nothing you said has anything to do with anything I said
I was sitting next to two guys, I would say in their late teens, and I realised that they actually chose to go to this movie, and they loved it! When they saw the ‘I’m Kenough’ sweater I overheard them saying that they wanted it, and I caught something like ‘this movie was balling’. Now, I am 28. I am not that old, but this is definitely different from 10 years ago, when boys around me wouldn’t be caught dead going to a Barbie movie. It warmed my heart. And for me? I cried many times. I felt incredibly seen. Everything about this movie was just *chef’s kiss*.
It’s their karma do t worry about those cry babies
Why is no one mentioning Sasha and her 3 friends from school being the Bratz
Omg!!!!!!! Great catch!!!
I need to see the movie again
Oh 😮
the best easter egg is when barbie is meeting ruth for the first time , in the background over ruth's radio, an orchestral version of "what was i made for" is playing
I was wondering what that song was! Thank u!
Yeah! I noticed that on my 2nd watch of the movie. It was a nice little nod.
Now that I think about it, kinda gives a whole new meaning to “He’s just Allan” considering how Ken aspires to be “Just Ken”.
Fun fact: The "facts" in this video about Midge in the *Mommy and Me* product are not quite accurate. There was no "Allen" at that time. The controversy was actually that she was pregnant WITHOUT a husband or a wedding band. (I remember because I was alive then)
That's an important piece of info, thanks for your insight! This movie was amazing gonna watch again this week
damn she pulled a virgin mary
They love to change narratives and history. I remember this too.
Lol i thought her name was mitch the whole time
@@ecstasy3692 HELP 💀💀
I gifted my daughter with "Graduation Barbie" when she graduated from college!
The four teenagers at the high-school resemble the Bratz 4 characters. They even have the same names
They put so much detail into the film
I go way back, born in 1959, just like Barbie. I mainly remember the 3 wigs that came with the doll. The next big thing was the “bendable knee” Barbie & Skipper. I would have loved a nod to those but 60+ years is a lot of memories. I just wish my Ken was Ryan ( and I do remember Allen!)
My mom was born in 1959! She used to have a major collection of Barbie dolls when she was still alive. She had around 200+ Barbies. Here are some I remember vividly: Lucille Ball Barbie, Marilyn Monroe Barbie, Elvis Barbie, Catwoman Barbie, Ballerina Barbie, 2000 Holiday Gown Barbie, Cowgirl Barbie and Madonna Barbie. Oh how I miss my mother! x
I was born in 1958. I also had the Barbie with the 3 wigs. My Mom and I made clothes for Barbie. I didn’t have any of the store bought Barbie accessories. I made things for her. I made a house for her on two shelves in my closet and my brother made an elevator to get to the second floor (shelf) My niece has my Barbies now.
@kaleybrowning so sorry about your Mom
Barbie and the Magic of Peagsus is hands down one of the best Barbie movies, glad to see it referenced here!
(That looks like a pelican on the mailbox.)
The movie was amazing, so powerful, intelligently presented and emotionally stirring. ❤
I came to comment on the pelican too 🤣
Me too
THANK YOU. This is why I came to the comments.
yeah, that's how they get comment engagement clicks - cha ching
The actress that plays Midge is also in ‘call the midwife’ and plays a nurse who delivers babies!
Emerald Fennell.
She’s also a well respected director and producer!
It would be hilarious to see Slash playing guitar alongside and Ryan Gosling and all the other Kens performing the song, I'm Just Ken, at the Oscars.
Did you end up seeing your vision come true?
Yes😃I loved it!@@robertfloyd4287
Anyone else notice that when the Kens are coming to the shore to fight, it kinda references “Washington Crossing the Delaware” by Emanuel Leutze?
Honestly, it gave me Iliad vibes and I'm wondering if anyone else thought the same! With all the focus on horses and the battle essentially being over the attentions of a woman, I'm eager to give it the literary comparison.
I didn't catch that the tweens were the Bratz dolls because I was too old and missed that craze. I love it though. It is so clever that they think they are cooler than Barbie.
Toy Story 3 Barbie appears in the movie. When there showing all the variety of Barbies.
MARGOT IS PERFECT FOR THE ROLE!
That Fairy Secret reference brought a tear to my eye 🩷
Love all the easter eggs. Personally I would love to see the nutcracker from 2001 as it appears in many barbie movies . In the Barbie land theatre I would like to see posters of old barbie movies, not the wizard of oz and lastly Dua Lipa as mermaid ,it would be a good idea to see the costume of jewel hair mermaid doll (dont remember which year is released , I think 1995) and there was a barbie perfume with this mermaid. it was a famous doll
I was a little girl in the 60's, and i used to get a Barbie Magazine for children back then in the mail each month. It had little stories about the dolls. I clearly remember one about Skipper!
Margot Robbie Tribute 2: czcams.com/video/wppBk3f_xCU/video.html
Odyssey 2001 and Top Gun references. Will Ferell having drum sticks is a reference to him looking like Chad Smith (RHCP drummer)
OH MY GOD I THINK YOU'RE RIGHT ABOUT THE DRUMSTICKS. That's awesome!
In all seriousness, the drumsticks could very well be a reference to more cowbell.
wizard of oz is playing in the theatre and the road barbie drives on out of barbieland is a pink brick road!
Hi Barbie.. hi Barbie .. HI BARBIeeee Jo Jo Rabbit reference right at the beginning was 100 percent my favorite Easter egg! Lmao 😂
Great video! Although that mailbox appears to be a pelican not a flamingo
You know barbie is a good movie when straight men get offended by it and call it all sorts of names
whats funny is that the movie wasent about hating men at all infact it even gave the kens a spotlight to sing there troubbles of feeling like objects like bruh
@@m.zacharias8952WRONG! It was about making simps realise there own worth and to STOP SIMPING AND GET A LIFE THERE OWN. barbie litterly told ken straight up to be his own person and stop living for her. how is that hating men?
@@dotdotdotdotdotdotdottodno it wasn't the movie was literally propaganda and it couldn't be more crystal clear. Literally the women are put on pedestals and made the men seem wrong in everything they did. It's so on the nose it's unbearable they don't even try to hide lol.
@@sydney3734 WRONG AGAIN barbies world is women dominated and even before this movie people always jokes about how ken himself was always an accesory to barbie. this movie litterly exlored that excat idea and no ken was not hated barnie sid it herself in the movie that she dosent want to hurt ken but she feels no way about him. the world was ment to reflect our own but reversed but the differnce is what proppaganda excatly are they trying to promote?? being yourself!??? cause thats what it was about. ken didnt need barbie or this idea of hyper masculinity to feel respected he just needed to be true to himself all the kens did and even at the end the barbies realised that they over looked the kens and slowly started progresing to include them more. there is a robot chiken episode with this very same concpt because barbie has always been about femminism and girls on top ideology. this isnt some new woke agenda thats being pushed on barbie , this just what barbie has always been
@@sydney3734obviously did not watch the movie and is hating on it anyway
MASTERPIECE ❤️🔥
My inner child is back again because of this movie ahhhhh 💕
I feel this too, I'm honestly surprised at how much.
I watched the movie today and I thought the ceo was gonna chase Barbie and ken the entire movie but it was only half of the movie
I thought he was going to end up in NYC looking for his real dad. He had that Elf excitement.
If you notice dance scene you will see " Barbie and her wig wardrobe (fashion queen) " outfit and barbie who dress maid outfit is from Barbie Silkstone French maid.
I just finished watching the movie I loved it. I can't wait to watch it again without my kids around so I can laugh harder
Exposing this feminist claptrap to your children tells me everything i need to know about you as a mother.
The mailbox is a pelican, not a flamingo. 5:31
Teen Talk Barbies weren’t discontinued, they just stopped making ones that said the math class line and Mattel gave parents refunds.
I had a Teen Talk Barbie with a British accent (which I’m fairly sure was marketed under a different name in Australia though I could be wrong). Thankfully I didn’t have one with the math class comment, but I remember reading that there were like 100 pre-recorded phrases and each Barbie was randomly assigned like 5-6 phrases.
It's a film that's rich with layers and messages.
the mailbox is a pelican, not a flamingo.
Earring Magic Barbies and Ken (briefly and in the credits on the right hand side), which seem seasonal specials rather than discontinued as folklore has come to us about the Ken version, as covered elsewhere on YT and the internet.
i am so glad barbie a fairy secret was referenced !! all time fav
5:28 that is a pelican not a flamingo
They messed up a few other bits of pertinent information as well.
(I read comments.)
I was hoping to see the Casey doll. She was also a friend of Barbie and she was my favorite. She was blonde with a pageboy haircut, flatter chested, and had one ear pierced with a dangle earring that turned her ear green. I tried to see the movie yesterday and there were no seats available.
Imagine the sequel film being about a brand new Barbie in Barbie land and the other Barbie’s discovering that someone isn’t playing with new Barbie the right way.
There is a scene where Barbies and Kens during their talks about the Kendom, there is a *Mortal Kombat* arcade cabinet, making a cameo appearance, which is also a property of Warner Bros. Discovery, namely NetherRealm Studios.
There was a Midge doll in 1992 with the Ski Fun Barbie. She had cross country skis. I also wish they would have Barbie and the Rockers instead of a DJ for the Dance scenes.
4:48 Wow those ads are so nostalgic. They would play from 3-5pm after school hours and during kids TV shows. Now there’s no such thing as “children’s TV time” or whatever it’s called.
Barbie Bazaar magazine didn’t have the items referenced in the video.
It was geared toward adult collectors and full of articles and advertisements for (pink box) collectors.
The actress who plays pregnant Midge was in the long-running British show, Call the Midwife -- get it? She is Emerald Fennell.
first scene with the little girls smashing dolls was a reference to the monkey scene from A Space Odyssey
ALSO the (2002) Gotta kick It Up reference to America Ferrera at the very end scene with the iconic phrase, "Si se puede!" ;)
Just saw this movie 10/10 🥰
Barbie production design is the best💖
THE MOVIE WAS SO GOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It is so interesting, in the 80's in Brazil Barbie's best friend was Vicky, and there was another one that I don't recall her name, I guess for different countries they adapted, also the Dream house of my chilchood is nothing like the ones I saw in the USA
What about Malibu Barbie and PJ? I had both of those dolls and they could go camping in their pop up camper and orange and yellow jeep!! And I also had the RV which were the same colors! We're talking about 1972-1977 would be my best guess
I think another one is her heart necklace in the “what was I made for” scene. Barbie Nutcracker reference.
Just a small detail, in the video that is not a flamingo it’s a pelican
I’m bummed there was no Theresa or Christie!!!
Yeah I couldn’t pay attention that well, because of all the tears, clouding my vision
I did actually notice the BAX sign, and I was also wondering who Allan was 😅 guess I’m too young to know
Polecam wszystkim ten film!❤❤❤👍
The movie "The Godfather" can be seen streaming on Ken's TV in the Dream House he took over as his own. Why this particular film? Perhaps it is a reference to the old/current Hollywood studio system, male dominated and controlled. It could also be a reference to the themes of masculinity in The Godfather, also one of the themes in Barbie The Movie.
That mailbox is a pelican not a flamingo I believe
Yes, it is modeled after a Dalmatian pelican.
Came here to say this 😂
What this comment section lacks is anyone pointing out that it's a pelican, not a flamingo. /s
I love Barbie toys .... Especially
80 s version stuffs
I remember the teen talk Barbie’s!!
Oh, we don't talk about Earring Magic Ken in this video? Okay. 🙈
he's in the notes at the end
Sasha and her 3 friends at school were the bratz dolls!
Sasha is the name of one of Bratz Dolls(also made by a former Mattel employee).
Nothing beats Sugar Daddy Ken
How very dare. That is a pelican, not a flamingo. Sincerely, a bird nerd who loved Barbie.
EXTREME RIGHT FASCISTS IN PANIC... About a Barbie Movie 😂👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I wouldn't watch it, but now i'll watch it, just to know more.
The movie is literally against men😂. What are liberals giving their men to eat? How do you become like that?😂
I’ve gone to watch it twice so far just to piss them off more
@sarahhashish1784
Oh yeah, cause a nobody watching a movie 2 times matters to anyone. 🙄
"Anyone that disagrees with my opinion about a movie, by definition a work of art meant to be interpreted by the viewer, is "
Go find a mirror so you can see the right wingers directly on the other side labeling anyone who dislikes sound of freedom a groomer
The best part is your to inept to realize your in an equally low tier cult, you just worship different idols
@@sarahhashish1784 so you watch a movie that gives matriarchy a positive vibe and patriarchy is evil vibe in an attempt to destroy gender inequality just to piss people against the logic of the movie?
Oh so like hidden Mickeys. Obviously the BAX being like LAX.
That’s cool about the magazine. I’m surprised but not surprised that the Spice Girls didn’t come together to do something.
Midge is a doll she doesn’t have an age 😂.
Love that they had a nod to all of the Barbies.
I hope Allan dolls come back after this.
That is CLEARLY a Pelican, NOT a flamingo at the end...😂😂😂😂😂
Behind the Mattel executives in the board room where they were meeting, there was a building you could see in the background through the window that said Time Warner Discover or something like that. Super distracting so I am sure it means something. I’m just not sure what.
The mailbox is a pelican, not a flamingo.
Of course I’m Just Ken is the magic of Mark Ronson. I usually can’t stand musical numbers in movies but this was great.
That 'flamingo' mailbox is a pelican lol 😅
THE MAGAZINE IS ALSO A TRIBUTE TO THE ONLINE BARBIE GAMES
how are some of these missed/hidden moments bruh how could we miss Allan??
Have yet to figure out how to have important icons only show on carplay. Such as messages, Waze, Home Security icons. Don’t need others
Jane Goodall's Barbie was studying monkeys never owned as a pet.
Chimps, but you are right.
I had the 1960s version of Midge
The mail box at the end seems to be a pelican, not a flamingo
I HOPE Ken made it.
Having actually seen a B d enjoyed this, hope a sequel with all the big success, is working as no end teaser
The narrator says that he gets the same rights women do un this world. Take it as your want
I was late to the movie so i missed the whole first half. I really wanna go see the beginning tho
I was actually quite surprized in the very first seconds of the movie, with a landscape reminding of the first scene of "2001 - A space odysse". And yes, the similarities continued ...
Helen Mirren who narrates played Tanya Kirbuk in 2010.
Exactly the 2001 a space Odyssey intro was brilliant
Yes, dear. We call those "Easter Eggs"🤦♀️
everything is a reference to everything
For me it’s the reference to NSYNC by Mattel execs, they reference the “it’s gonna be me” music video
did you notice that when Barbie is doing her morning routine, if you look behind her, there are other Barbies doing the exact same thing in other houses..and when she has her Bad Day, they are having a "good day" and doing just as they were in the first scene
yes chelse was there in her house
How come no one has address the si se puede at the end with America Ferrera??
I noticed that and was like 😮
I didn’t get the whole flat feet thing since Skipper and a bunch of Barbies had flat feet in the 90’s
Math is tuff though it's nice to know a barbie also thought that too
Ken had a pony attached to the grill of the corvette. I wonder if he wanted a mustang
did anyone that has seen the movie see in the "fight of the kens" there were two men salsa dancing in the background🤣
Yes! I was like...is it a dance fight?
It was a way to mock and ridicule men.
