The arrival of the Barbie blockbuster has revived an age-old debate over the British and American dolls Sindy and Barbie.
In just five days in cinemas, Barbie has topped $470 (£358) million globally, smashing expectations. Directed by Greta Gerwig and starring Margot Robbie, it made $155 (£120) million in the first three days of domestic ticket sales.
