It’s understandable that the script for Barbie took two years to write because the film is so spot-on. Aside from the flawless casting, especially Ryan Gosling and Margot Robbie as Barbie and Ken, the movie is full of Easter eggs.
1. The Pegasus statue.
There is no chance behind this. The iconic Barbie and the Magic of Pegasus film, which was released in 2005, is alluded to in the statue.
2. Ruth Handler and Barbie touching hands.
The creator of the Barbie dolls, Ruth, gives Barbie a cup of tea in a scene where their hands come into contact. The hand-touching action depicted in the well-known Michelangelo artwork, which portrays the creation of the first man, is referenced in this scenario.
3. Ken’s friend Allan, subsequently known as Alan, was introduced in 1964.
That’s not all, either. The fact that he could wear Ken’s attire and go to Ken and Barbie’s wedding was its key selling point. One of his well-known products was the Wedding Day Alan doll, which showed him on the memorable day he married Midge, a close friend of Barbie’s. Sadly, Allan was eventually dropped.
4. The Barbie magazine.
In one scene, a Barbie is seen reading the Barbie magazine. This is a reference to the actual Barbie magazine, which was published between May 1988 and May 2006. The magazine, which included puzzles, crafts, stickers, and statistics, was really rather fantastic.
5. the Barbie Theatre for movies.
Barbie passes a movie theatre with The Wizard of Oz posters as she travels away from Barbie Land and into the real world. The movie’s hints go beyond the posters, though. If you look closely, you may see the yellow brick path that goes to Oz inside the theatre.
6. Barbie’s car is actually real.
It is electric and it moves. Barbie is environmentally friendly, who knew? Barbie can be shown meeting her buddy while cruising through Barbie Land hands-free in the film, which suggests that the customised 1956 pink Corvette might be self-driving in contrast to the original one.
7. The Tutti Frutti store.
We can see a Tutti Frutti store in the backdrop in the famous moment where all the Barbies and Kens are saying “Hi Barbie.” This subtle allusion is to the adorable younger sister of Barbie and Skipper, Tutti, who debuted in 1965. Although Tutti and Todd were sold as a pair and had twin brothers as well, their happy reign was eventually over in 1971.
8. The odd Barbie.
Only one Barbie is not wearing pink in the moment as the Barbies celebrate their triumph. Barbie with the blue bonnet and clothing is a nod to the Teen Talk Barbie from 1991, who actually spoke. Though some of the catchphrases received criticism, the dolls were dropped.
9. There are no rings on Margot Robbie’s hands.
This smart homage to the fused fingers on the toy dolls, which prevents them from wearing rings, gives the movie a lovely air of authenticity. We must admit that the level of detail is insane.
10. The woman on the bench is Ann Roth.
Ann Roth, the Oscar-winning costume designer, accepted Greta Gerwig’s invitation to make a cameo appearance as Barbie’s director.
These days, all we see is pink everywhere we look. However, it was fairly dark before our environment changed to this vivid colour since Wednesday had won our hearts. Easter eggs also take front stage, as they do in every amazing film or television show. So if you’re interested in learning about Wednesday’s Easter eggs, we identified 10+ that will pique your interest in watching the show again.
