Top 20 Barbie Movie Easter Eggs You Missed

this is my dream housee it is my dream house it's mine no this is no longer Barbie's dream house Welcome to The Miz Mojo Dojo Casa house and today we're counting down our picks for references in jokes and small details that detective Barbie might have picked up on but the average Ken might have overlooked this entails a few spoilers these were actual Kens more discontinued Barbies number 20 PR Barbie as Mattel attempts to put Barbie back in a box the smell triggers a prian flashback remember PR Barbie that did not sell very well although Lucy Pointon plays PR Barbie no such doll exists in reality however there once lived a French novelist named Marcel PR this line specifically references swans way the first volume of PR's novel In Search of Lost Time AKA remembrance of things past in the story The Taste of meline cake sends the narrator back to Childhood TR is pretty heavy yeah but it's worth it I here no I meant the book carrying it on the plane gtic irwig called this quote a nice Easter egg for one person ironically one person who would have gotten the reference was Robert Oppenheimer who was a fan of PR's work and with one obscure joke barbin Heimer comes full circle how about because this is the most important thing to ever happen in the history of the world number 19 Pegasus on the beach this may be the first liveaction Barbie movie but the character has been starring in animated films for over two decades when one of the first not to be based on a pre-existing story was Barbie and The Magic of Pegasus from 2005 who are you why why did you save me in that film The titular Pegasus is princess brietta who was transformed into a winged horse after rejecting a marriage proposal the smell is lifted with help from Princess anuka played by Barbie thank you oh thank you so much looks good on you brietta brietta and anuka might not have prominent roles in the liveaction film on the beach however you can spot a sculpture resembling a familiar Pegasus this nod to the 2005 feature reminds us that the previous Barbie movies Ran So that this one could fly just like a pegasus show off Slowpoke number 18 Barbie's birthday every number tells the story with Barbie behind the wheel the car's odometer reads 0319 59 nothing is random in Greta gerwig's film and this number is no exception the first first Barbie doll was introduced at the American International Toy Fair on March 9th 1959 this date is thus considered Barbie's official birthday I don't have anything big planned just a giant blowout party with all the Barbies and plant choreography and a bespoke song you should stop by the odometer number pays homage to Barbie's debut but it subtly ties into the film's themes as well stereotypical Barbie has been around for over 60 years however it isn't until she develops the desire to become human that Barbie is truly given the chance to live in that sense the odometer reflects Barbie's initial Genesis and her rebirth into a fully fleshed out human being it's a personal Journey full of emotional mileage you step this way now' I also just learned to cry first I got one tier and then I got a whole bunch number 17 Bax driving past the local airport Barbie salutes the pilot mid takeoff the airport is cleverly named Bax a reference to LAX since Barbie land is essentially a Pinker Malibu it's only fitting that the airport would be modeled after a Los Angeles staple yet the fact that Barbie land has an airport raises a few questions for starters where is the plane flying to do you have a map of Barbie land what do you think do Barb land inhabitants regularly take trips that require air travel can you reach the real world with a plane or do you have to take the scenic route via car boat rocket bike and snowmobile is the plane actually going anywhere or is pilot Barbie be just taking a joy ride around Barbie land for such a small Easter egg it carries a lot of baggage number 16 not in Barbie land anymore Greta Gerwig has made it no secret that The Wizard of Oz was a key inspiration for her film wanting to capture the Technicolor Classics quote authentically artificial aesthetic Toto I have a feeling we're not in Kansas anymore Gerwig pays homage as Barbie drives past a movie theater with posters featuring Dorothy the Tin Man and Cowardly Lion as well as an emerald city backdrop is there any question what's playing the plot also parallels Oz as Barbie heads down a colorful road goes over the rainbow and finds herself in a new land wow this is the real world Army I told you there' be Beach instead of going from Kansas to Oz Barbie pulls a reversal trading the Fantastical Barbie land for the real world it might not be as vibrant as Barbie land but there is a magic to the real world becoming Barbie's new home well the real world is not perfect but you inspired me number 15 hidden bees when I wake up in my own pink get here's a fun challenge for ciles and mathematicians try counting every bee hidden in this movie even Gerwig doesn't seem to know the exact number off the top of her head although she told variety quotes there must be thousands of bees everywhere because they also have like designs in the [Music] carpet toe in addition to the carpet the letter logo has been etched into clothing accessories walls magazines Flags Doors door handles mailbox handles ticket booths the list goes on in what must be some kind of record as for gerwig's favorite hidden bee she slightly said quote I can't tell it but I know it faster I figure it out the faster we get to go home what am I supposed to do number 14 Ruth Handler's tax troubles this movie doesn't shy away from Barbie's most notorious moments including Creator Ruth Handler's legal problems I'm a 5 foot nothing grandma with a double myectomy and tax evasion issues when Barbie meets her literal maker Handler seems like such a wholesome figure crossing paths again Handler acknowledges that even she's not Perfect You're Ruth from Mattel baby I am Mattel until the IRS got to me but that's another movie without getting into the nitty-gritty Handler alludes to 1975 when the SEC investigated Mattel's Financial misstatements handler was forced to resign as Mattel's president Jump Ahead three years Handler and several others at Mattel were indicted for conspiracy male fraud and false financial reporting pleading no contest handler was fined $57,000 and received 2500 community service hours despite this Scandal Handler solidified herself as an inspirational figure not just through Barbie but her advocacy for breast cancer awareness as well Ruth had started a company which manufactured breast prosthesis here she is showing off her product in Ruth like fashion number 13 hitting all the right musical notes even when nobody's singing Barbie's World is like a musical a kind of a movie that was driven by music but not a musical and I guess we're half of a musical she wakes up wearing a pink bow looking like Kathleen DV in The Umbrellas of shour Barbie's track up the stairs to weird Barbie's house is eerily similar to a scene in the dance drama The Red Shoes I'm just Ken may be loaded with the most musical references I'm just anywhere else be this scene is like a Westside Story Rumble crossed with the fashion of gree lightning the costumes in Sound Stage are also reminiscent of the Broadway Melody ball LA from Singing in the Rain there were just two things missing from the Jean Kelly classic slash and Wolf Gang Van Halen who can be heard playing guitar during the musical showdown in [Music] Barbie number 12 CIP Ryan Pierce Williams makes a cameo as Gloria's husband not a huge stretch considering that Williams is married to America Ferrera in real life in the film the most notable part of his character is his ongoing effort to improve his Spanish that's a political statement that's appropriation this has a few different translations including yes it is possible yes we can and it can be done the saying is primarily associated with activist groups like The United Farm Workers of America but it has personal ties to Ferrera as well I came for you the motto played a significant part in the Disney Channel original movie got to kick it up which Marked One of ferrera's earliest starring roles along with evil Longoria Ferrera also started Shu a digital lifestyle Community to support Latinas Latinas are the are the are the fastest growing uh cohort in States all across this country the power that we have to make the difference is is undeniable number 11 for Bratz when Barbie first encounters Sasha and her three friends she finds that they aren't very nice you might even say that they're acting like Bratz in more ways than one come on Sasha give it to her destroy Barbie okay Barbie let's do this it's probably not a coincidence that the friends look like the original four Bratz dolls one of whom was even named Sasha when the Bratz first hit the scene in 2001 Barbie was the dominating force in the fashion doll industry within a few years though Bratz had not only taken up almost 40% of the market but the toy line managed to outsell Barbie in some areas we haven't played with Barbie since we were like 5 years old yeah I hated dolls with hair I mean I played with Barbie but it was like the last resort I loved Barbie we suppose Barbie got the last laugh as Bratz also tried producing a live action film that well let's just say it could have used more Greta Gerwig hey you know I'm hanging up and changing my number number 10 Gloria made a weird Barbie weird four years after calling Margo Robbie anchor Barbie in bombshell Kate McKinnon finds herself playing weird Barbie come into my weird house hi I'm weird Barbie I am in the splits I have a funky haircut and I smell like basement it's revealed later in the film that Robbie's Barbie has become the play thing of America ferrera's Gloria in a flashback a link between Gloria and weird Barbie is also hinted at as a little girl draws on weird Barbie's face cuts her hair and splits her legs Scrabble pieces spelling out the name Gloria can be spotted on a pole Gloria mentions that she had a weird Barbie growing up yeah you did you make them weird by playing too hard it's cool it appears that McKinnon's character is the same Barbie that Gloria played too hard with considering that Gloria conceived thoughts of impending death Barbie we're not surprised that she got weird with her toys as a kid I am your biggest fan and she's like America you don't remember number nine Ken's Stallone Co as Ryan Gosling's Ken takes over Barbie land he trades in the beat shorts for a boss fur coat if you can't Define Yourself by your thoughts or experiences or accomplishments a fo mink can do a lot of the heavy lifting for you it's fojo Mojo mink don't worry when people think of stereotypical masculinity a fur jacket might not be the first thing that comes to mind for someone who has based their new persona on Sylvester Stallone though Ken's wardrobe Choice makes per perfect sense in the real world Ken discovers symbols of conventional manliness from Cowboy attire to Rocky posters adorning the walls of a [Music] gym Rocky's powerful image inspires Ken to reinvent himself with bling gloves and of course a fur coat the same kind that Stallone wore during his peak of box office popularity given Ken's Newfound obsession with horses it only makes sense that he would adopt the Italian stallions look interesting number eight 2001 a toyetic Odyssey who would have thought that Barbie would introduce Stanley cubric sci-fi Masterpiece to a new generation of ciles I always think of Margo saying yay space and I think like that when she did that I was like that's Barbie Barbie is yay space 2001 A Space Odyssey commences with a group of hominins using a bone as a tool for the first time likewise Greta gerwig's film opens with the dawn of Barbie the original 1959 doll serving as a monolith that captures the attention of little girls [Music] everywhere the 2001 parallels don't end with the opening of Barbie 2001 concludes with the monolith resurfacing and David Bowman becoming the star child marking the next turning point for Humanity Barbie is also about Evolution as the titular character grows from an idea to a fleshed out individual you can go back to your regular life or you can know the truth about the universe the choice is now yours the first one the high heel you have to want to know okay do it again by the final scene Barbie is no longer a doll but a human being number seven a different kind of playtime Barbie is loaded with nods to other iconic movies like The Matrix yet ger wig also draws inspiration from classic films that might not be as iconic to the average viewer one such example is the 1967 comedy playtime hello lack speaking could you give me the exact figures on the Consolidated account constructing a huge practical set the aesthetic of Jac tati's film is otherworldly yet you could still imagine many of these locals existing in our world the cubicles that make up an office are simultaneously mundane and Whimsical the same can be said about the cubicles at Mattel's headquarters in Barbie in both films the cubicle backdrops seem Bleak on the surface but they also carry a maze-like sentiment it's the ideal Middle Ground between business and playtime which is precisely how we envision a Mattel office our dolls are coming to Los Angeles from Barbie land this would be C AIC number six Tanner makes a mess the filmmakers aren't afraid to look back at certain moments throughout Barbie's history and ask what were they thinking enter Tanner the dog oh excuse us you party train Tanner Barbie barie Barbie has owned a few canine Pals over the years but Tanner stood out for two reasons one Barbie could feed this dog two Tanner could turn dog treats into chocolate nuggets potty training is the most unappealing part of having a pet why did Mattel think a pooper scooper and trash bin would be fun accessories for Barbie puppy deserves a treat for being so well potty trained Not only was the idea flawed but the loose magnets on the scooper posed a safety issue resulting in more than 680,000 Barbie Tanner playsets being recalled we guess that's why Tanner now lives with weird Barbie Outsiders got to stick together the keeper of everyone's hidden weirdness and um I like to think of myself like that in real life too number five nostalgic Barbie outfits and accessories Barbie has been a fashion icon ever since debuting her zebra striped swimsuit in sunglasses someday to I'm going to be exactly like you in addition to her 1959 look costume designer jackn Duran pays homage to Barbie throughout the decades reflecting the character's endurance from the Disco jumpsuits of the 60s and 70s to the neon leotards of the ' 80s and 90s Barbie has been there for every fashion trend look at all your clothes I can't believe you never brought me up here as vast as Barbie's wardrobe is her dream House's garage must be even bigger the film breaks various Vehicles you might have had growing up such as the Barbie space Discovery rocket ship the Barbie Dream camper vehicle the Barbie sister snow fun snowmobile the Barbie Dream plane and even the Barbie Care Clinic we didn't realize it until now but our Decor could use more pink we like sat with all these different kinds of Pinks and we were like what is the pink and how do the pinks interact because I didn't want it to be so classy that it didn't like when I was a little girl I liked the pinkest brightest things number four Mattel female CEOs although Barbie is a flagship franchise for Mattel the company's leadership has been predominantly male as will frell's character points out only a couple of women have held the CEO position during Mattel's almost 80-year history how would you describe yourself gutsy I always kind of considered myself a fluke because there were no others like me Barbie creator Ruth Handler co-founded Mattel serving as president from 1945 to 1974 fast forward to 1997 Jill barad became Mattel's first female CEO a position she held until 2000 I really believe if women joined together Not only would they be an unbeatable Force they'd be a force for good barad ultimately resigned due to the ill-conceived acquisition of The Learning Company Mattel wouldn't have another female CEO until 2017 when Margot georgiadis accepted the job although she'd leave after a year FAL CEO acts as if this makes Mattel a diverse work environment but it's clear that even the people behind the scenes realize there's progress to be made no one rests until this doll is back in a box number three the Bible parallels no not Bibble well hello Barry don't you look lovely today gwi's treatment for Barbie included an abstract poem inspired by the Apostles Creed this was perhaps the first sign that the film would employ some biblical subtext as a director I'm able to go more find de depth in things that appear just like fluff more easily in a way because um cuz it's not where anyone's looking when Ruth Handler hands Barbie a cup of tea Gerwig mimics Michelangelo's the creation of Adam Gerwig was inspired by the story of Adam and Eve although she reversed the roles with Barbie and Ken according to the creation myth God created Eve using one of Adam's ribs so she could be His companion Ken meanwhile was created after Barbie so that he could serve as her male counterpart art in that sense Barbie is Adam Ken is Eve and Barbie land is the Garden of Eden all that's missing are a snake and an apple none of that none of that well I was only trying to help number two the woman on the bench it was suggested that Gerwig cut the scene where Barbie is moved to tears upon meeting an elderly woman on a bench Gerwig insisted on keeping this moment and we're glad she did Barbie is this emblem of plastic Perfection I was like what better journey to give her than one that uh gives her Humanity not only does it tie into the film's larger themes of life but the scene shines the spotlight on one of our best costume designers the woman is played by Anne Roth who won Oscars for her work on The English Patient and Marini's black bottom she looks at all the actors principal actors all the extras every little thing has to be in place Roth has been in the business for over 60 years but Barbie marks her first acting credit according to Gerwig she has three friends in their 9s Roth being being one of them casting Roth in the role Gerwig can't imagine her film without the scene

the filmmakers didn't how many men were on this board and how many women we need to know the number Mattel actually introduced a pregnant mid doll which some argued endorsed teen pregnancy for a period mijch was romantically paired with Ken's friend Allan does that mean Alan was the baby's father there are no multiples of Allan he's just Alan yeah confused about that that thought is almost as disturbing as Growing Up Skipper who grew up a little too fast in 1975 the the controversy didn't end there sugar daddy Ken was a misguided attempt to attract adult consumers while video girl Barbie resulted in an FBI warning but hey at least earring magic can became a gay icon even if it wasn't the intention you won't find them on store shelves anymore but these dolls will forever live in Barbie land and eBay get that Barbie ideas live forever did you catch any other Barbie Easter eggs do you have any idea what girl favorite hidden bee was sound off in the comments never seen that before is
