The first full trailer for Greta Gerwig‘s Barbie is here and it looks like a daydream. It’s Dont Worry Darling meets Stepford Wives meets Lego Movie meets Clueless meets Legally Blonde meets Life Size.
After catching a glimpse of Margot Robbie as the titular doll in a teaser trailer narrated by Helen Mirren, viewers can finally take a longer look at Barbie Land, which seems to be populated exclusively by perfect and perfectly-groomed happy-go-lucky beach dwellers.
Set to the Beach Boys’ “Fun Fun Fun” (the song about a girl stealing her dad’s T-bird), the clip promises, well, a ton of fun. All the iconic toy details are there: Barbie’s feet are permanently bent to accommodate a high heel, she drives her pink convertible without steering, and she seems to greet everyone with a smile and a wave.

“Hi Barbie,” “Hi, Ken,” are the first lines of the trailer, echoing the opening dialogue from Aqua’s (unauthorized) hit “Barbie Girl.” I see what you did there.
It’s giving rom-com, it’s giving self-discovery, it’s giving childhood yet not nostalgic? Gerwig, along with co-writer (and the IRL Ken to her Barbie) Noah Baumbach appear to be keeping things light, and we spotted at least a couple dance numbers thrown in there. No doubt these ’fits will inspire a solid half of our Halloween 2023 mood boards and cause an upswing in sales of hair bleach.
