    1. A possible reverse storyline in the style of The Wizard of Oz:

    Supposedly, the Barbie movie is supposed to have a reverse The Wizard of Oz plot, where people are speculating Barbie might leave home in search for a "strange land." This is something both The Wizard of Oz fans and Barbie fans can look forward to.

    2. The throwbacks to previous Barbies:

    There are definitely going to be some throwbacks to past Barbies in the movie like the mermaid Barbie from the promo poster. Young and old Barbie fans will enjoy this!

    3. The Barbie popcorn container:

    Surprising to no one, AMC is going all out for their Barbie popcorn bucket. This container is a replica of Barbie's corvette from the movie. Popcorn bucket collectors specially will go wild for this one!

    4. The bright retro colors:

    This movie will channel all of the bright colors from past Barbie movies and shows, and of course, there will be a lot of pink for Barbie!

    5. The star-studded cast:

    There are many well-known celebrities on the cast. Famous actors, Will Ferrell and Ryan Gosling, and Grammy-winning artist, Dua Lipa, have roles in the movie as well as many more familiar faces.

    6. The outfits:

    Margot Robbie has had some amazing looks on the Barbie press tour that hinted at past barbies with great detail. Her outfits in the movie perfectly channel Barbie and past Barbie looks as well. One of her outfits in the movie even gives credit to Dorothy from The Wizard of Oz. There is definitely a lot of anticipation for when all of Barbie's looks from the movie are revealed!

    7. And the soundtrack:

    The soundtrack for Barbie is going to be the soundtrack of 2023!!! Not to mention Ken will get a song! We all know Ryan Gosling's vocals are going to shine in his song and Dua Lipa's "Dance the Night" is already a hit! Also, this album has songs from Nicki Minaj, Ice Spice, Ava Max, Charlie XCX, Gayle, and many more artists.
