"Warning: Don't take your daughter to Barbie," Movieguide, a Christian movie review site warned ahead of the film's release July 21. The review criticized the film about the iconic doll of abandoning its core audience of families and little girls to instead focus on LGBTQ stories.
"The new BARBIE movie forgets its core audience of families and children while catering to nostalgic adults and pushing lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender character stories. Furthermore, the movie was poorly made with multiple premises, losing even the most die-hard fans," the scathing staff review-penned piece began.
However actress Margot Robbie defended the film in a recent interview, saying it was "literally crafted to be for everyone."
"This is such a thing people say when they do press for a movie. They’re like, ‘It’s for everyone.’ But it was literally crafted to be for everyone," Robbie said after being asked if the film was made for kids. Director Greta Gerwig crafted humor aimed at children and adults, the film's star further explained.
How bad is it?
Transgender actor Hari Nef, who plays a "Doctor Barbie" told Out Magazine that the film had an empowering message about being transgender.
Yes, there is a transgender Dr. Barbie!
For everyone? No, just for leftists.
I think this will kill the Barbie brand, too.
Cue a cartoon of Dr. Barbie in the gutter chugging Bud Light
The formerly “fair maiden” known as Snow White is now Latina and the Seven Dwarves are One Dwarf and Six Painfully Diverse Magical Creatures Dressed in Garb Cast-Off from the Greater Des Moines Renaissance Faire.
The live-action Snow White will be, from all appearances, not only worse than you imagine but worse than you can imagine.
The Daily Mail reminds us today that “Disney announced that ‘magical creatures’ would replace the seven dwarves to ‘avoid reinforcing stereotypes’ after Game of Thrones actor Peter Dinklage criticised the ‘f****** backwards story’ last year.” Dinklage’s comment destroyed six high-paying, high-profile acting jobs for his fellow dwarves, but whatever.
Co-written by Barbie’s Greta Gerwig, the upcoming adaptation will not feature a Prince Charming and will instead focus on a ‘stronger’ Snow White who dreams of becoming a leader.
Some other comments from the article
Her [Barbie] function, like that of any contemporary Disney character, is to sell toys, dolls, lunchboxes, costumes, and assorted junk.
Leftist revolutions are self-devouring. The primary victims of
wokeness remain liberals who didn’t manage to keep up with the party’s
ideology. Much like the Soviet Union quickly switched to killing its own
party members once it had purged the few remaining political opponents
who hadn’t gone underground.
The Left is a destructive force pretending to be a constructive one.
Its purity spirals eventually wipe out everything until the movement
collapses or a strongman rises to power and arrests the trend.

A hint:
Mirror, mirror, on the wall, who's the best Snow White of all?
Boop-boop-a-doop!
