Exactly! I’m so glad that they recasted Barbie as Margot Robbie cuz had they stuck with Amy Schumer, the movie would’ve possibly bombed and cheapened the doll’s image 💯

I never would've thought Margot had to puut so much effort into the role. She seems absolutely perfect for it, and brings Barbie to life so naturally in the trailers. I can't wait to see how well it payed off.

[@thewhatsupquiqui]

Barbie was done with so much care and love. It definitely has turned into my favorite movie ❤

[@Vicki_Benji]

I'm 56, and I'll watch this for nostalgia.

[@15Candles]

Prepare? Just tell her to sit in a chair, she's already a perfect Barbie. The role she was born to play just like Harley Quinn. Her range is incredible

[@Son0fFalse]

Guess whose range is also incredible. Johnny Depp. A victim of metoo.

[@15Candles]

Margot Robbie is way better than the studio's original choice which was Amy Schumer. Glad they managed to find the right actress for the role, so happy to see the amount of passion Margot put in making the movie work whether as actress or as producer

[@annafowdy]

Well, I guess once they changed directors, they had to change the story and actors, too.

Nevermind the fact that Schumer's iteration had a completely different story

[@LuxeListOfficial]

Exactly. We don’t need fat Barbie

4 August: I saw Barbie 2x in 2 days, first 'double' so close in all my 66 years. Stellar achievement! Don't let "He's just Ken" in promo put you off; it's a vital plot point. Oscars for Margot & Ryan!🤩🤩

Margot Robbie Is A Truly Iconic From Harley Quinn To Barbie

[@HitomiKitage]

I took my 9 yo son to this movie because he said he wanted to hate watch it. I didn't care. I just really wanted to see it. (Greta Gerwig is a great director, no way is she signing on for a fluff Barbie movie). My son and I both walked out impressed. Top notch movie. I'd love to see it again and find other things I didn't notice.

[@MB-oj7ds]

I was planning on seeing it by myself until my 17 year old son said he would join me. My son loved the movie. I saw it today for a 2nd time & it sounded like a bunch of grown men got together to see it and they laughed the hardest in the entire theatre. I loved the movie!!!!

[@cameronjr8]

I think she should meet Jodi Benson (Toy Story Barbie)!

[@59771006]

I knew Margot before she was famous not personally but before she was famous she was famous she was in an Aussie soap opera called Neighbours and that’s how I know her

I WAS excited, until I seen it.....not what I expected. I do have to say that Margot is the perfect Barbie💕

[@mattmc5069]

What an amazing cast this will be an awesome time! I do like the "neutral" style of barbie not being sexual. I also agree ken is very much an accessory. I think its great to make barbies in different sizes so it doesnt give young girls unhealthy realties of how women should "look". Also isn't funny that boys got small hot wheels and barbie got a huge car with a radio lol Another fun fact: when gi joe was introduced it was a way to market "dolls" like barbie to boys only they gave them the more "manly" name of action figures

"Miss Mojo's video about Margot Robbie's preparation for the role of Barbie is truly captivating. The attention to detail and dedication that Margot put into her transformation into the iconic doll is awe-inspiring. The video also provides an interesting look into the history of Barbie on screen, and how this new film aims to break away from harmful stereotypes. All in all, it's clear that Margot Robbie is the perfect choice to play Barbie, and I can't wait to see her bring this beloved character to life on the big screen. Hail to the queen of the dolls indeed!"

Hey Ms. Mojo--love your videos and commentary, but please do artists the respect of double-checking on name pronunciation (in this case, Jacqueline Durran). You have the tool right at your finger tips--just take a quick peek at interviews with the person in question, or their fellow cast and crew talking about their work.
