Gross. I hope every parent of little girls does not take them to see it. These sexist toys have led to generations of body shaming in little girls and damages a woman's worth from the time she is little. There is more to life than being a dumb pretty thing that plays dress up

The TheSimpsons did it first. But I really like MargotRobbie in anything. AlJean

I give it a week before someone protests that they didn't cast Barbie as a minority.

This is SO funny. Mattel lost Toys R Us. Then, in their infinite stupidity, RAISED the minimums that retailers needed to meet to maintain an account. Thereby casting out hundreds of retail accounts. In what way does get rid of retailers = growth?

What about reviving the Barbie workout videos?
