Other than that, I have no idea what this movie is about after watching the above trailer and that, dear readers, is awesome. But this trailer is a master-class in how to craft trailers that give away nothing. Most movie trailers these days give away 90% of the plot and half the gags and you walk away pretty sure you know what’s going to happen. And Barbie and Ken. I can predict stuff, like her character arc, gradual awakening to self-awareness and self-doubt, some kind of cathartic release etc. And that Ken.

Why the new Barbie movie is the feminist epic we deserve (Evening Standard)

It's high time we got a feminist Barbie flick - and Greta Gerwig is ready to stand and deliver, says Maddy Mussen.

All of the male characters in Barbie World, however, are simply called “Ken”. In a (slightly more) equal Barbie World. It doesn’t take a Barbie with a Pulitzer prize to work out what is going on here. Amy March may have been annoying and a little overly-boy-oriented, but Barbie is perhaps one of the biggest anti-feminist symbols of all time - or at least she used to be. There’s a myriad of different Barbie characters, all with varying, distinctly impressive, professions - Issa Rae is President Barbie, Hari Nef is Doctor Barbie, Emma Mackey is a Barbie with a Nobel Prize in physics, Dua Lipa is… But the character of Barbie carries a little more weight than Amy March, despite clocking in at approximately 7.25 ounces (and being a proportional paradox). Sure, it had some wafts of [feminism](/topic/feminism): Schumer apparently wanted her [Barbie](https://www.standard.co.uk/topic/barbie) to be an “ambitious inventor”, but the studio suggested her invention be a “high heel made out of Jell-O” and even sent the comic actress a pair of Manolo Blahniks to celebrate the collaboration. In other words: the world is ready for feminist Barbie. By the looks of things this film will be a feminist epic, and young girls everywhere will watch it while sitting in front of their living room TV sets, mouths agape, for years to come. Today the doll is available in both disabled and plus sized forms, as well as a variety of aspirational occupations. [Greta Gerwig](/topic/greta-gerwig) (director of Ladybird and Little Women) signed on to direct, and people sat up and started paying attention. [Amy Schumer](/topic/amy-schumer) was attached to the project at the time and it was tipped to be a “fish out of water story” reminiscent of nostalgic films like Splash, Enchanted and Big.
