Barbie fever is in full swing. From the first leaked images to the teaser trailer that played homage to 2001: A Space Odyssey, to the massive marketing campaign that can be spotted on billboards, buses, and even Doctor Who's TARDIS, the first-live action Barbie movie is undoubtedly one of the biggest talking points of the year.
Starring Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling, the story is set to follow the plastic pair as they leave the utopian Barbie Land to go on a journey of self-discovery. Outside of that, plot details surrounding the fantasy comedy are thin on the ground. What we do know is that there are plenty of films from throughout the decades that have inspired Barbie, with director Greta Gerwig recently speaking to speaking to Letterboxd about these.
