did you guys watch the movie? maybe I'm naive, but I don't buy it; it feels like manufactured outrage. the "map" in question had the entire north american continent labeled as United States ๐ . Basically every landmass was hopelessly deformed because it was conveying how little barbieland actually knew about the real world. In the scene, they talk about the "Country of California" and "State of Los Angeles" or something like that...because barbie was trying to get to LA. Asia doesn't even look like Asia! Please let me know if this just went over my head. I think people are reading too much into this nonsense. Vietnam probably banned it because it was shameless western corporate propaganda or something like that.
I did. I was dragged to it and surprisingly enjoyed it more than I thought.
It obviously only got greenlit to sell merchandise, but within that the actual creators of the film worked in some unexpectedly deep commentary for what it is.
