Barbie trailer: Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling are all glammed up as the popular dolls in spunky new video, watch

While it may seem ridiculous and far-fetched to make a Barbie movie, it is also perhaps this intrigue that will end up drawing the audience to cinemas ultimately. So far, we know very little about the plot of the feature, except that it stars celebrities such as Dua Lipa, Emma Mackey, and Kate McKinnon among others in pivotal roles.

The one-line synopsis with which the Barbie trailer was shared online reads, “To live in Barbie Land is to be a perfect being in a perfect place. Unless you have a full-on existential crisis. Or you’re a Ken.” Fans seems excited about watching the feature as one of them commented, “This looks like it will be fun. They’re going for the whole ‘a child is playing with them’ route with them, hitting all of the meta points then they end up in the ‘real world,’ which can either be fun or an overdone mess, so I’m interested where they’re going to take it.” Another person wrote, “Are we all in agreement that this looks so much better than anyone thought it possibly would/could be? I’m legit excited to see this!”

Another fan was bemused upon seeing the video and mentioned, “I honestly didn’t expect them to play into the actual doll aspect of this. All of them being Barbies and Kens, the crazy Barbie with the haircut and marker on her face. I’m actually really excited for this, it looks so silly. I was expecting a regular animated Barbie movie but in live action.”

Barbie will release in cinemas on July 21.
