00:00 "I thought I might stay over tonight."
00:02 "Why?"
00:03 "Because we're girlfriend-boyfriend."
00:04 "To do what?"
00:07 "I'm actually not sure."
00:10 Here are all the things you missed when watching The Barbie Movie.
00:15 The highly anticipated 2023 Barbie film, directed by Greta Gerwig and starring Margot Robbie,
00:21 is out now, and the film features tons of hidden Easter eggs.
00:26 "Blood!
00:27 Feet!
00:28 Eyes! and a nose!"
00:30 Throughout the film, there are countless hidden bees.
00:32 "There must be thousands of bees everywhere because they also have designs in the carpet
00:38 and so that thousands, thousands."
00:42 BarbieLand features an airport with a sign B-A-X.
00:45 This is likely an ode to the iconic LAX in California.
00:48 "Hi Barbie!
00:49 Hi Barbie!
00:50 Hi Barbie!"
00:51 In this scene, when Barbie is talking to her fellow Barbies, the statue carved into the
00:55 rock behind her is a pegasus.
00:58 This is a reference to the classic film, Barbie and the Magic of Pegasus, released in 2005.
01:03 "There's a moment where Ruth Handler, who created Barbie, and the Barbie I play meet,
01:09 and when she hands her a cup of tea, our hands touch like the Michelangelo.
01:13 I just snuck that in there."
01:15 "If this got out that our dolls were coming to Los Angeles from BarbieLand, this would
01:21 be catastrophic!"
01:24 Weird Barbie's pet pal is Barbie's dog Tanner.
01:27 Tanner's best friend Taffy was featured in the show Barbie Life in the Dreamhouse.
01:32 They are both golden retrievers.
01:35 Barbie has owned over 40 pets, including a parrot, panda, chimpanzee, a giraffe, and
01:41 a zebra.
01:42 "Hi Barbie!
01:43 Oh, hi Alan!
01:44 There are no multiples of Alan.
01:46 He's just Alan.
01:47 Yeah, I'm confused about that."
01:50 Alan is based on the doll released in 1964 who was created to be Ken's buddy.
01:55 The main selling point for the doll was that he could share Ken's clothes and be in Barbie
02:00 and Ken's wedding.
02:02 Unfortunately, Alan was discontinued.
02:05 In this scene, Barbie is reading a magazine.
02:07 If you look closely, you can see this is a nod to the Barbie magazine which ran from
02:11 1988 to May 2006.
02:15 The magazine featured crafts, puzzles, facts, and stickers.
02:22 In this scene, on one of the buildings behind Ken is a poster of Barbie looking like a fairy.
02:28 This is a reference to Barbie from the film A Fairy's Secret, released in 2011.
02:33 She is even wearing the exact same outfit.
02:38 When Barbie is driving down the street, we see some shops like Perfect Hair, and on the
02:42 other side of the street we see a candy store that is cleverly named "Candy" with an
02:47 "ie".
02:48 This is a nod to the Toy Barbies Pets, released in the mid-90s.
02:52 Candy is a part of the Best Friends of Goldie dog collection.
02:59 Mark Ronson, who produced tracks with Lady Gaga, Duran Duran, and Bruno Mars, worked
03:04 on the Barbie film to create some iconic tracks.
03:08 In the film, Ryan Gosling performs an 80s ballad, "I'm Just Ken."
03:13 It took about a year for Mark Ronson to finesse the track.
03:16 The song even features Slash from Guns N' Roses.
03:33 At the Barbie dance party, you see a character who is pregnant.
03:37 This is Midge.
03:38 Midge was introduced in 1963 to be Barbie's best friend.
03:42 Midge was then discontinued in 1967 and replaced by PJ, who used the same face mold.
03:49 Midge was later relaunched in 2002, the Happy Family set, where she was married to Alan,
03:55 and they even had a baby.
03:57 This Happy Family set became quite controversial as many parents felt Midge was too young to
04:01 have kids.
04:05 In the film, when Barbie is driving past a movie theater, you can see some posters of
04:09 The Wizard of Oz being advertised.
04:12 What you might not notice is that inside the theater is a yellow brick road leading to
04:16 Oz.
04:25 In this scene, when all of the Barbies are saying hi, one of the stores in the back is
04:29 named Tutti Frutti.
04:31 This is a reference to Barbie and Skipper's younger sister, Tutti, who was released in
04:36 1965.
04:37 Tutti had a twin named Todd.
04:39 They were both discontinued in 1971.
04:42 In this scene, there's one character dressed differently than the rest.
04:46 The Barbie with a blue hat is a nod to the 1991 Teen Talk Barbie.
04:58 One of her catchphrases, though, was "Map class is tough," which drew heavy criticism
05:03 for portraying a non-feminist Barbie.
05:06 Thankfully, she was discontinued.
05:17 Barbie drives a custom 1956 pink Corvette in the film.
05:20 Although they used some blue screen for some of the driving scenes, the car is real, actually
05:26 drives, and is even electric.
05:27 Oh, and the flamingo mailbox outside of Barbie's house doubles as a charging station.
05:33 We love an eco-friendly Barbie car.
05:40 Here are all the Easter eggs that we caught in the Barbie film.
05:43 Did we miss any?
