EVERY Doll Reference In The Barbie Movie!

[@thorn-rc9lz]

I'm pretty sure there's an article somewhere where the hair and makeup artists talked about how they made Dua's mermaid wig look bad on purpose because the mermaid doll's hair is usually super bright and fake-looking. I know I read it a month or two ago. Also, Issa mentioned Greta asked her what she wanted her president barbie to wear, and she chose a ballgown. :) side note: i wish they would've had paul rudd on set to be the one shaving ken from the 70's.

[@beehaslam707]

Yeah they hair and makeup team was AMAZING on this film. I saw a video on how they had to have a peachy pink toner made especially for Margot’s wigs so her hair matched perfectly with all the pink of her outfits and the set, so I knew that Duas wigs had to be intentional. I think they could have hammed the fakeness up even more? But I don’t know how they’d do that without them looking terrible.

[@thorn-rc9lz]

@@beehaslam707 yes! i heard the woman in charge of the wigs say she had toner on hand at all times and had to tone each wig to match each outfit accordingly. and they said that Ryan's hair is less toned and more bleach yellow the worse Ken gets in his journey - which is why his roots show at one point. I need an art book for the movie pronto.

[@MinisDunyasi5]

Going through every frame must’ve taken forever. Huge respect

[@ivycream7228]

Agreed

[@sharonkaysnowton]

Hi. What was soo funny for me in this video is when Sasha and her 3 friends was related to the Bratz dolls. I laughed sooo hard. I thought they were the Bratz also. "The Mean Girls".

[@sierrareyelts1481]

The attention to detail and finding the precise names! Blows my mind! I love this so much!

[@WayGaijin]

The ghost looking doll in the background is Proust Barbie. The actress who portrays her is listed as Proust Barbie in the credits of the film.

[@Nuit_Parisienne]

It would make sense, she's wearing a sort of Edwardian outfit. And she's referenced by Will Ferrell.

[@suzannemorrell439]

There is no real life Proust Barbie, it's supposedly an inside joke :)

[@MsDudette21]

correct@@suzannemorrell439

[@LaDracul]

I think that scene might've had a few bits cut out of it...though I thought it was the mom from the Heart Family.

[@Nuit_Parisienne]

@@suzannemorrell439 yes but she's canon in the barbie movie world, Will Ferrell says she was discontinued because it was a commercial failure.

[@emmakirton]

In the Barbie Mount Rushmore the Asian doll is specifically Oriental Barbie from 1980. Each doll face on the mountain is the first of it's kind, first Barbie ever, first black Barbie, first Asian Barbie, and the first Teresa doll.

[@paulw858]

I'm hoping for a bonus round of Margot Robbie's IRL outfits at the various premieres and red carpet thingies! I believe most (if not all) of her outfits at those recent things were references to Barbie!

[@RGSuperfan]

I second this

[@arislamb35]

omg yes!!

[@sierrareyelts1481]

Margot's press tour outfits were such a gift

[@wootdorfstudios8252]

That “ghost” Barbie hanging out with the other discontinue dolls is credited as “Proust Barbie” which was made up for the film. Will Ferrell makes a reference to her earlier in the film.

[@datsquisheeboi]

It's a reference to plantation barbie

[@katheriner2896]

In the first flashback, with the weird Barbie, it's evidently Totally Hair Barbie, she is the one that's being played too hard with!

[@RachelAnn]

I like that this explains why we don't see any Barbies in Barbieland that could be Totally Hair Barbie.

[@katheriner2896]

@@RachelAnn Yeah! And also, another Barbie says of her, "she once used to be the most beautiful Barbie", which also kind of hints at that.

[@artheaded1]

Can't believe the amount of detail that was put into this movie! Your research into all these details and dolls adds so much to the movie experience. THANK YOU! Looks like Earing Magic Ken has a different necklace in Barbieland than he did in the Real World. LOL!

[@jodiemorris3602]

It actually looks like the necklace that movie Earing Magic Ken is wearing is one of the "human sized" clip on earrings you receive in the box with the doll

[@kinbarkly1165]

That one Barbie in the discontinued doll scene is actually Proust Barbie, which does not actually exist. Will Ferrell's character metions Proust Barbie in the movie and how it apparently sold badly.

[@anne-marielegouill]

I think the Weird Barbie is "Romantic Bride Barbie" from 1992. All the Barbies referenced in the Weird Barbie flash back date from between 1992 and 1994. She has bangs, platinum blonde hair, white earrings and nude pink lips. I can't find any others Barbie with these characteristics in the same period. In the film, it’s also mentioned that she was the most beautiful Barbie. A bride is considered to be the most beautiful. So. This is my theory. Thank you for this video! I'm a Barbie collector and I love following you. P.s. : Sorry for my English. I speak French and I use Google translator. 😅

[@anne-marielegouill]

Correction: I also bought the movie. I replayed the flashback in slow motion and it is the totally hair Barbie. She doesn't have any white earrings. It was an illusion of your screen print. She has holes in her ears because her earrings were torn off. At the beginning of the flashback, we see the little girl cutting her hair. And we can clearly see that it's the hair of the totally hair Barbie. The mystery is solved. 😁

[@guadalupedelconsuelomartin5724]

I love you saying that watching Barbie movie was an investment!!! Blessings, dear Joey!

[@karencraft5903]

I have Barbie and Tanner, MIB. I refer to her as Pooper Scooper Barbie!

[@Thedollvibe]

11:53 THATS COLOR CLASH Jade from integrity toys LOL I can’t believe someone on the Barbie team confused her for a Barbie LMAO

[@maririntsw1517]

omg you are right, good eye lmao, now I wonder if it was an actual mistake or some kind of easter egg

[@beehaslam707]

I know the comments are saying that the ghostly Barbie is the Proust Barbie that doesn’t actually exist, but that doesn’t mean she’s not referencing any Barbie fashions. The construction of the outfit is strikingly similar to The Heart Family “Mom and Baby” release - sharing the same square sailor collar and dropped waist.

[@CanonessEllinor]

If this movie doesn’t win an Oscar for production design there is no justice in the world

[@RachelAnn]

And Costuming! So much research and care went into both!

[@sallybecker3184]

Joey, that awful wig was a perfect homage to the quality of hair used in the entire Dreamtopia collection. 🤣🤣🤣

[@bitterflywing]

fun fact: Allan is actually Midge's baby daddy. Which was part of the controversy because "Where's her ring?" So Barbie got ordained to marry them. Which it's weird that it's never brought up in the movie.

[@julieletford5695]

Midge and Alan were married. There was a set of dolls that included Midge and Alan in wedding attire, along with Barbie and Ken, as the maid of honor and best man and Todd and Stacie (then known as Kelly) as the ring bearer and flower girl.

[@KSAVAGE91]

Maybe that’s why Allan wanted to leave Barbieland so badly… he wasn’t ready to step up 😂

[@plasticperfection]

During the dance/ disco scene, one of the dancers is wearing an outfit very similar to Fashion Queen Barbie. You can briefly see her behind wheelchair Barbie and when Midge is dancing. I would like to know who those dolls (the actual dolls) belonged to in the movie or if they were just dolls Mattel had lying around.

[@mtths.Ign.]

I spotted her too when I watched the movie ❤

[@susie8799]

I saw her too!

[@pinkdolly]

The joke in the movie about Teen Talk Barbie is that SHE DOESN’T SAY A WORD 😂😂😂

[@jorgeuribe2685]

Finding out all those Barbies from the novel prize mural was amazing, Great job sir.

[@Anna81Louise]

Earring Magic Ken was not wearing his special necklace in the movie. 😏His necklace said "Barbie" instead. Great video. Very well researched.

[@RachelAnn]

I am also mad about this!

[@madisonchelbana6548]

My grandma kept her daughters Barbie’s and I would play with them when I visited. She had western stompin Ken! I’ve seen a few other outfits that bring me back!

[@Askelads91]

It’s nurse Barbie from 1961! 😀😀 One of my favs, wish I was as stylish as a nurse 😅😅

[@Melaryon]

Thank you a lot! A "white ghost Barbie" seems to be "Proust Barbie", that has no real prototype.

[@maengah]

please review all of margot's outfits during the barbie promotions, they were all inspired by existing outfits!

[@gregorythomsen8288]

You caught just about everything, verry thorough. You did miss something in the big disco dance. one of the barbies dancing in the background looks like she's in the gold and white striped. "fashion queen" swimsuit.

[@intignia]

Wow! What a lot of work you did! I agree with most of your matches. I don't think the fuzzy Barbie in the background is the slumber party one, but maybe the second doll you showed us with the gauze-y rose pattern. I'm 70 and have grown up with a lot of these dolls so it was nice going down Memory Lane with you. I haven't seen the movie yet. I have a chronic illness which makes it a very poor choice to go to the cinema, so I have been waiting for it to come online. But the price is prohibitive! Thanks for all your hard work. I greatly enjoyed this video.

[@knoxvegasreptiles7728]

Ur so good at finding such obscure Barbie stuff I really think you can help me figure it out

[@RiotgrrrlPearl]

Thank you for this. Half of these things I missed and I'm fangirling all over again. Going to watch it again and look out for these!

[@jerricablackcat4303]

8:47 I wonder, does Weird Barbie have baby Krissy? Does she have all of Barbie's other siblings? Chelsea, Kelly, Stacie, Tutti and Todd? Maybe their saving them for a sequel.

[@cance7984]

I've just returned from the IMAX. Compared to the conventional theater screen, it's more spectacular. Money well spent.

[@broadwaybrook2319]

My mom said she had a Peaches 'N Cream Barbie doll when she was a kid. I just realized that the flooring in the Dreamhouse at 7:22 has the iconic stylized letter "B"s all over it. It's interesting that in 2002, they had the "Mermaid Fantasy" Barbie dolls when "Barbie: Mermaidia" was released four years later. Almost like a precursor to the Mermaidia dolls. 16:56 Now that makes me wonder how many of the outfits that Ken wore during his fashion show for Barbie in "Toy Story 3" were based on outfits worn by actual Ken dolls.....? This is not necessarily a doll outfit reference, but a real-life Barbie reference in this movie is the fact that all the employees at Mattel are guys, and in real life, in the 1950s when Ruth Handler presented her idea of a grown-woman fashion doll, all the other people working at Mattel were men, and they initially disapproved of her doll idea.

[@RachelAnn]

I think all the Ken fashion show outfits in Toy Story 3 are based on real Ken outfits. I don't know the details, but I remember hearing someone mention it in an interview.

[@saktii2318]

I had Peaches N Cream Barbie. She was my favorite of the 500 dolls I had

[@XimenaValencia-jy4qk]

Midge’s baby looking like Annie Lennox 😂

[@neilarmstrong5299]

The necklace on the gold jumpsuit sort of reminds me of 1983 Partytime Barbie.

[@JazzHands]

FINALLY someone did it! I bet it was a lot of work, thank you for showing us all the fashions! I was so desperate for someone to do it lol

[@onemercilessming1342]

It's nurse Barbie from the mid 20th century. (My mother, a nurse, had a nurse's uniform almost exactly like it.) Ken had a COORDINATING doctor's outfit. Both wore scrubs much, much later.

[@mhcollectors13]

I thought the ghostly Barbie in the background was the Heart Family mom. Also, if there's a sequel, they could make a joke about Kelly/Shelly/Chelsea. Would also be funny to see color reveal represented somehow. 😅

[@Niliana0912]

Me too

[@AbeM.]

These colorful mermaids with the funny wigs might very well be Color Reveal dolls 😅

[@marljusweety]

I think it might be the grandma. 😅

[@marvinraphaelmonfort8289]

that pink puffy astronaut! 😍 high camp! space would be the best place to wear mutton sleeves coz no gravity hehe

[@AriFan777]

Barbie should be spending there money on better quality dolls. There dolls are the equivalent of McDonalds toys

[@beehaslam707]

Hopefully the money from this movie and acquiring the Disney licence again will allow them to put more effort and budget into barbie but I doubt it 😭

[@krystajustice1608]

I have extreme green Skipper and cool blue Barbies

[@christarista1980]

Peaches and Cream & Crystal Barbie are CORE memories for me! I was so happy to see them in the movie. I got a holiday Barbie every year from 1994 till my grandma passed in 2012. I now get SO MUCH joy in letting my nieces come raid my holiday Barbie stash on Christmas!

[@Put_down_dem_perkies]

I feel like the Barbie movie dolls are some of the ONLY dolls that look like ACTUAL traditional barbie dolls with removable fashions, long nice brushable hair and nice quality dolls! Then when you go to a local store and you see the way the Barbie dolls REALLY look like and....... 😐

[@lars7282]

Only that the fabric looks cheap and the faces are pretty ugly

[@PipaBD]

I WISH when i has a child to have so much variety as today, ALL my barbies have blond or black long hair. They could better the quality, but the long blond hair barbie will always exist and variety its only help.

[@starsurvivor]

I was hoping SOMEONE would do this.

[@lyndanickerson1373]

Thank you very much for the video ❤❤❤ Crop Tops and short shorts were very popular with guys in the late 70s & 80s 😊

[@trinidadchapa4287]

I saw the Barbie Movie. And I Loved it❤️❤️I just wish, they showed wheelchair Barbie More!

[@annoyingslippers]

I loved seeing all the different outfits and some felt so nostalgic. Most of my Barbie’s inevitably ended up as Weird Barbie though 😂

[@MrRileyjames]

I always thought that Barbie's pink gingham dress was a reference to Dorothy and The Wizard of Oz.

[@hepburned1205]

This is the exact kind of video I’ve been hoping to exist ever since I saw a trailer for the Barbie movie.

[@lupinostar]

The bus at 13:20 is not the orange camper but the blue BEACH BUS from later 1970s :-) You did a great video with all those references!

[@annland781]

I've always thought the Beach Bus was wayy cooler but lesser known.

[@willis1996]

I feel like the wigs that were questionable were intentional? Loved going through the movie outfits! Such a great video!

[@crystalmethany1312]

i was SO hurt by the fact tht they made such a beautiful and accurate totally teen talk barbie costume just to give her absolutely no important role or even screentime :( she and midge got done incredibly dirty

[@ivanamper5323]

She wasn't even listed in the credits

[@karacoconutag]

I wonder if they were going to give her more of a role but Mattel decided it was an inch too far? Like dropping Ruth's embezzlement was ok and poking fun at the male CEO was ok but spotlighting that they had a blatantly sexist controversy was too dissonant with the film's message? I love teen talk Barbie though regardless, so I was disappointed too!

[@RachelAnn]

​@therobotdevil2284 Yeah, like they wanted to acknowledge that the problematic dolls exist, but not focus on their problematic aspects.

[@KSAVAGE91]

@@ivanamper5323She actually is! It says Marisa Abela as Teen Talk Barbie :)

[@carolinaarias7032]

Hi Joey! Love your video!!! There's another Barbie reference. Look for the Barbie 1999 Summer collection Summer in Rome. She Is wearing a blue skirt with white dots like Margot Robbie in the movie.

[@krystajustice1608]

I agree with you in reference

[@escapefromtoybox]

Joey! This is the Easter Egg video I've been waiting for! Thank you! I think the Barbie Doll they used for Weird Barbie was Totally Hair. You can also spot Gloria's Barbie (Day and Night) on her desk at Mattel. In my head, that's her child hood doll. Probably because she was mine!

[@NeonArsonist]

8:32 actually, that’s from 2017! My sister got that play set when it came out so I’m pretty familiar with its release date

[@fridahultgren8865]

OMG thanks for the massive research you did for this video! It is much appreciated 💕 and just to let you know, I’m in shock that one of the Barbies on the Nobel Prize mural isn’t actually a Barbie! Thanks to your video I could see the one you think is the James Bond Barbie is actually Feelin’ Extra Jade from The Industry line by Integrity Toys, from 2018. The person responsible for the mural must’ve slipped this one accidentally!

[@glynnisi]

Love this! I think on the dress with hearts, it might be closer to referencing 2001 Valentine Wishes Barbie or 1999 Target Exclusive "Barbie With Love". RE the extra in background at Weird Barbie house, I wonder if that dress refers to Plantation Belle? Something about the skirt puts me in mind of that. Very impressed with your effort on this video. Now, I just have to fight the urge to treat your list like an EBay shopping list. ;) lol

[@_pyatihatochka_]

Joe, thank you for your work done. And I want to say, that a doll from poster on award is not an octopus from James Bond. You were not able to find this Barbie, because it is not a Barbie. I don't know who and why did put her in this poster, but she is from integrity dolls The Industry line from 2018 Lovesick Collection Feelin' Extra Jade. What did they mean? )

[@mrpink627]

The “ghost” Barbie isn’t a Barbie reference directly, it’s a reference to how Barbie makes random failed tributes so it’s a tribute Barbie to a French novelist Marcel Proust. Apparently Stereotypical Barbie has a similar experience in the film to one of the characters in a novel

[@groenfan851]

Ahoyhoy There, Fellow KZbinrino! The Fairytopia Barbie commercial where they say "Glee" and then make a giggle similar to the giggling girl on Spongebob Gary takes a Bath always creeped me out.
