There seems to be a lot of Peas questioning the interest in the "Barbie" movie I grew up LOVING Barbie and had so many! I had accessories to go with them! The GMC RV, the plane, the Corvette, etc. My dd's had many more Barbies than me and had the cruise ship, the modern RV and the Dream House! We also enjoyed collecting "collectable" Barbies ... they still have many of them even though they are in their 20's ... We can't wait to see the "Barbie" movie that comes out today!!!! It's going to be so campy and fun! Who else is excited to see it?

I would like to see it but probably won’t go. DD is very excited and plans to go but with her bf. If she asked me I would be happy to go. My dgd (7 1/2) is sad it’s not for kids!
I hope you love it!

I never had any interest in Barbie (or other dolls) when I was younger so I won't be going to the cinema to see it, I'll watch it when it hits streaming though. It looks amusing.

I don't really have any interest in it, but my 33-year-old DGD is as excited as you are! I may end up going with her just to see what all the hoopla is about. Hope you and your DDs have loads of fun!

I played with Barbies as a child but I have no interest in seeing the movie. I’d go with my daughters in law or a group of girlfriends as a fun event but not because I was personally interested.

I took a dislike to Barbie when Mattel put out the math is hard Barbie, and didn't buy any for my daughter. Having said that, we have tickets for Sunday and my daughter is super excited. She said I'll love it as it delves into the different cultural impacts of Barbie. We're doing a double header with Oppenheimer, so it should be an insane day!

My dd, her 2 dd and some of their friends went to see it last night. The movie theater was a sea of pink ! Almost everyone was wearing pink. They all loved the movie. 🩷🩷🩷
My dd said that it was the most fun she’s ever had at a movie. Everyone was so into it, making it a fun event. Most everyone was wearing bright pink. And, a lot of people brought their own Barbies with them. 🩷

I LOVED Barbie when I was a girl (and had a really hard time giving up playing with her, I think I was a Freshman in HS by the time I had completely stopped dressing her and doing her hair ) but I will probably wait until the movie streams before I see it.

I’m excited to see it, but I’ll wait for it to be available to stream. I don’t really do movie theaters since COVID… watching the movies at home is just so much more enjoyable.

Same! I played Barbies with my little sister (5yrs younger) for long after I was “too old”. But I haven’t been to a movie in years so I’ll see it someday on streaming.

I never had Barbies growing up and am not into Barbie, but for some reason I want to see the movie. Maybe just to see what all the hoopla is about?

They had a talking head on the news talking about it.
Talking about the feminist slant and the Kens are just to showcase Barbie.
She really turned me off with her attitude about it. Does someone really have to be dumbed down in order for someone else to be uplifted?

Who else is excited to see it? Me!! I love Barbie. My Barbies and Ken were my most played with toys. I didn't have a lot of accessories (only the the camper, which I loved!) but my neighbor had everything (plane, corvette, town home, etc) so I played with those as well. I am so excited about the movie! It looks cute and funny!

Same. They sure did spend a lot on advertising and partnerships, though. I’m interested to see how the turnout is.

Not because I especially like Barbie, but it looks goofy and campy and I tend to like Greta Gerwig movies, so yes.

I'm hoping that it's really campy and funny like the Lego movies. I want to see it, but will wait until it streams.

I loved playing with Barbies (all dolls really) as a kid but I want to see the movie because it looks really fun! And Ryan Gosling is such a cutie. 😄

I was never a Barbie girl growing up so wasn’t planning to see it. But then the 2001-inspired trailer intrigued me, DS, and DH. And we’ve heard enough good stuff about it since that we’re going to do Barbenheimer this weekend.

I'm interested but not enough to want to see it in the theaters. Then again, there's almost no movies I want to see in the theaters anymore. I'll watch it on streaming with my drink, pause it as needed, and knit without dirty looks from people.

I grew up collecting vintage Barbies and I LOVE Margot Robbie, so I am pumped. I got tickets for me and my two daughters to see it Monday night. My son is going tomorrow night with a friend.
