China is just looking for any excuse to ban it, probably.

The problem is that it's a no-win situation. China will ban you if you omit the line, the other SE Asia countries will if you include it.

Anyway, what's your guys thought on Barbie early release thing?

Oh! I didn't know that this movie is being released early. I wonder why that's the case?

Diablo Cody almost made a Barbie movie w Amy Schumer

Considering what her CW Powerpuff girls reboot was gonna be like, WB dodged a bullet, TBH.

Seems like it's the sole diegetic musical number in the movie — though with the calibre of talents they're bringing for the rest of the soundtrack, I'm not exactly complaining.

This is a real long shot, but I kind of wonder whether they ever considered slipping in a Shout-Out to the Barbie musical number:

Turns out my country will not ban Barbie. Yay! Philippines banned Uncharted and Abominable for the nine dash line.

Now I'm curious if Vietnam only saw that part of the trailer.

I'm glad the Filipino officials were rational, as it seemed a stretch. The maps in Uncharted and Abominable were more realistic.

Seems like the usual suspects are on the attack against the Barbie movie, as Fox is parroting a Christian movie review site claiming it “ignores families” for “pushing an LGBTQ agenda.” I imagine the fact Hari Nef is a Barbie was enough to set them off.

Not just any Barbie either, Doctor Barbie.

Between that and making a black woman President Barbie, I'm sure the performative pearl clutchers will be bleating for a while.

The song is in the soundtrack and trailers; it was sampled for the Nicki/Ice Spice number.

I’ve heard good things on Twitter, but I’m wondering when the review embargo is supposed to lift.
