The Barbie main trailer has finally arrived – and it finally gives some insight into Greta Gerwig and Noah Baumbach’s weird and wonderful take on the iconic doll. The basic premise seems to be that Margot Robbie’s Barbie is living a perfect life in Barbieland when things start to go wrong… One day there’s no water, her feet are flat, and she’s started considering her mortality ("Do you guys ever think about dying?" – Yes, Barbie. We really do). Her issues see her head to the Real World to find some answers, with Ryan Gosling’s enthusiastic Ken in tow.
Not only does the trailer give us some plot details, but it’s also full of fun references and Easter eggs. From a potential nod to a rival doll company to a lot of tiny moments at poor Ken’s expense, there are so many fun hidden parts of the Warner Bros. trailer to explore. We’ve taken a forensic dive into every frame of the latest trailer to pick out some of the best ones we spotted below, in order of appearance.
