Barbie: The Pearl Princess
Barbie plays Lumina, a mermaid girl with the power to change the color of pearls. Cheerful and creative, Lumina finds herself working in a mermaid salon customizing fabulous hairstyles. And when Lumina has the chance to attend the royal ball, her friends adorn her with a gown fit for a princess.

60 of 125 · most liked firstI don't think the Failson Ellison is going to do uncut culture war bait, I think it's going to be more like putting Sydney Sweeney in a Jem and the Holograms movie to have "the next Barbie (2023)" and then raising his non eyebrows in surprise when that makes 34 dollars.

And maybe one day it will, if she switches things up pretty fkn soon & denounces that thinking & makes art that’s like “oh shit I fell into some dangerous patriarchal ideas in that marriage” & spells it out to the masses & really gives the Barbie movie a run
neutral · AI labelView post →Hot Wheels (1968, + Barbie crossover, + intro year cars). This is a 1968 ad for Hot Wheels die cast cars. Hot Wheels were introduced in 1968, so this would've been an intro-year ad. Not to be confused with the [Hotwheels Spider](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hotwheels_sisyphus), for which I found no ad campaign. While far from the first small die-cast cars, Hot Wheels used non-scale, wider hard plastic tires which allowed them to run better and faster on the track than earlier die cast…

neutral · AI labelView post →As one of the few people on this website who genuinely did not think the Barbie movie worked very well (I liked the production design and Ryan Gosling's big musical number) that "from the director of Barbie" just fills me with dread.

neutral · AI labelView post →> Which somehow a lot of countries are tripping over these days. Europe and America were never better than the Nazis. The Nazis are special because they did to ostensibly "white people" what Europeans and American had done and continue to do to people of the global south for generations. This is highlighted by the fact they not only protected large amounts of Nazis post war put systematically parachuted them into positions of power. Former Nazis from across the board were systematically…

neutral · AI labelView post →I am not the intended audience for a Narnia movie and I had originally wished that Greta Gerwig would do something else instead after her Barbie success. But dang, this trailer is really something kinda special. I'm looking forward to this now, where before I had not been. youtu.be/gDJ-ini7fF0?...
neutral · AI labelView post →when people say “a better future is possible” im imagining a world where we have dance parties every night like in the Barbie movie where every knows the dance and the dress code with minimal coordination
neutral · AI labelView post →Autocorrected Narnia to Barbie but it is a Greta Gerwig film so I guess????
neutral · AI labelView post →Faces of Death (2026) Dir- Daniel Goldhaber Maybe the best horror movie about the internet? Honestly committed performances from an iconic Dacre Montgomery and an emotional bare-wire Barbie Ferreira. Better than the more highly touted horror movies so far this year. Just a well done genre exercise.
neutral · AI labelView post →Remember when they first announced they were making a Barbie movie and we all thought it was gonna be lame then it turned out to be incredible?

negative · AI labelView post →The Barbie Movie soundtrack on vinyl has no business slapping this hard and sounding this clean. It's 8:57am on a wednesday and I'm dancing with my coffee.
positive · AI labelView post →Thought I can't possibly be the first to have: I wish matchbox had taken a cue from Barbie and made a subversive film about the auto industry
neutral · AI labelView post →I’ve seen people kvetch about Greta cashing her BARBIE check on another Narnia movie. No kids, she used her blank check to finally get Netflix into the theatrical business and she is based for it.
neutral · AI labelView post →Examples abound, but the next time you are besieged by Imposter Syndrome, just remember that movie execs saw the success of Barbie and thought it was due to a nostalgia for toys
neutral · AI labelView post →Why is there not an Elvira / Barbie crossover film? I am saying film instead of movie because this would be ART.

neutral · AI labelView post →I suspect that there is not even one person who saw that disastrous and ridiculous "press conference" and thought, "She sure sounds like a lawyer." Lawyers can be charged with many faults, but none of them is at all like what she displayed. It was like something out of the Barbie film.
neutral · AI labelView post →Given the people already saying “Oo, the poster so captures the book! 😍”, I’m guessing a lot more people will go to see the movie their imaginations created than the one we get. From the director of the Barbie Movie. 😑
neutral · AI labelView post →Maybe Page and Plant both really liked the Barbie movie, LOL
neutral · AI labelView post →Had the opposite reaction to this that I did to the Barbie trailer dropping- "A Greta Gerwig Barbie movie? Ugh... *watches trailer* huh, actually, this looks like it could be good" versus "A Greta Garwig Narnia? Could be good... *watches trailer* oh no"
neutral · AI labelView post →I think if fans are going to complain about the canon-compliance of a tie-in novel, they should place it on a scale of « Barbie Dreamscape » (full AU, only two named characters from the lore) to « ROTS novelisation » (literally the movie + added stuff) for context.

neutral · AI labelView post →It could have a short film at the front of it, a GI Joe / Barbie crossover that doesn’t take itself too seriously. Honestly, Channing Tatum (or is it Tatum Channing? who remembers?) could star.

neutral · AI labelView post →To me it's like so obvious they're still agonizing over the fact that pro-feminist Barbie was a massive massive success so they're now running with a new outrage farm hoping they can make this movie fail.
neutral · AI labelView post →They made a Matchbox movie that is a fast and the furious with the brand attached. Similar to Barbie dolls, Matchbox and Hot Wheels were about imagination and creating your own adventures with the cars. Now it’s John Cena playing a spy while driving cars

neutral · AI labelView post →As an adult I understand how deeply racist & problematic the film is. I can’t discount that! But at the same time I have these treasures memories of watching the film with my grandma, and my grandfather knowing this & buying me a Scarlett Barbie in her honor, etc Art is complicated!

neutral · AI labelView post →In every lifetime I like the Barbie movie
neutral · AI labelView post →Not directly. It's just that the Barbie movie has a very white-feminist cisnormative message
neutral · AI labelView post →It was in the Multiverse movie, wasn't it? Darkhold Barbie bit the dust, but Wandavision Mommy is back. (I haven't caught up on any of the phase after that. I stopped caring.)
neutral · AI labelView post →Completely - I'm still longing & hoping for her to return to something as intimate as Lady Bird. Maybe I'm wrong & maybe the film as it is was her vision all along, but Barbie felt like the things that interested Gerwig about the IP pulling against specific corporate mandates & brand fidelity.
neutral · AI labelView post →The Gerwig Little Women didn't hold a candle to the '94 Gillian Armstrong version, but few things do. (Which I guess means that we should've had a Gillian Armstrong Barbie movie.)
neutral · AI labelView post →A Narnia adaptation was a disappointing choice to me given the cachet she has BUT she’s made two of the ~25 best movies of the last ten years and also an interesting Barbie movie so I’ll be seated day one
neutral · AI labelView post →I think there's possibility for a biopic in the style of Todd Haynes' Karen Carpenter film but instead of using a Barbie doll she could be played by a taxidermied bichon frise that has been submerged in piss.
neutral · AI labelView post →Yeah, it starts really fantasy-sloppy but it ramps up. Gerwig's Barbie had issues but a lot of stuff worked in that movie, especially making huge swings with style and visual storytelling, so I'm excited.
