Though the “Barbie” movie has plenty to say about consumer culture and what drives the top brass at a major corporation like Mattel, could Will Ferrell’s goofy CEO character and his cronies really be so dastardly as to enslave dolls as corporate drones? Well, seeing as how close he comes to tricking Barbie (Margot Robbie) into getting back into a box (figuratively and literally), it does seem like a possibility.
u/cwx149 doubled down on the fan theory, giving it even more weight with their observations. “I mean to your point about leaving doll lands. Who’s to say the lower floor of [Mattel] isn’t a doll land,” they wondered. “These characters clearly don’t have the influence Barbie has in the real world. Who’s to say the elevator in Mattels building (a building we know a ghost keeps an office in) can’t go right to ‘call center-doll land.’”
When you consider how out of the ordinary it is for Aaron (Connor Swindells) and his colleagues to go up the corporate ladder, it does seem possible that this could indeed be the case in “Barbie.” “I like the idea that it is the ‘corporate drone’ doll land [in] the basement,” original poster u/Physmo55 agreed. While there’s nothing in the books yet for a “Barbie” sequel, ideas like this one are definitely something that could be explored when the next movie inevitably arrives.
