The live action of “Barbie” will not be what we dreamed of; Margot Robbie won’t dance on “Barbie Girl”

Now that the big producers of the film industry are presenting adaptations that we hope will be fabulous, as Disney is doing with the live action of “The Little Mermaid”, so too is the premiere of “Barbie”, the film starring Margot Robbie as Mattel’s most iconic and best-selling doll, in which she shares the screen with Ryan Gosling as Ken. Regardless of how nostalgic this movie may be, because it surely will be, there are details that fans don’t like anymore.

We are all convinced until now that there could not have been a better choice for the character of Barbie than Margot Robbie, the actress is beautiful in every sense but above all she has the talent to carry out the project, even if, She recently confessed that the Live photo leak was humiliating for her, but she explained the reasons why she was so ashamed and we explained it to you before.

But let’s go straight to the disagreements that doll fans of Mattel and all its animated series and movies. It turns out that, although, they are very happy with ‘Barbie’, they are not convinced that one of the most iconic themes involving the toy was not included in the film. But why?!

The Greta Gerwig-directed film will not feature the popular Nordic band Aqua theme. ‘Barbie Girl’, born as an icon for including one of the most famous dolls in the world, celebrated 25 years since its launch, and was presented as an example of pop backlash and satisfied her, it doesn’t exist (probably), someone in the universe who hasn’t heard this song, and it’s known.

The reason is much simpler than a simple denial that it is not part of the live action soundtrack, it all makes sense because in 1997 the Barbie manufacturer Mattel filed a copyright lawsuit against Aqua for using one of her characters. for a theme that sexualized her character as a child and Greta won’t want to risk it, right?

But let’s give them more reasons why ‘barbie girls’will not be included in the film because not everything is as simple as it seems. Mattel has lost the penalty trial for this uncomfortable situation, and it would be very likely that the multinational is still totally angry. So far we have understood everything.

In an interview for Variety, Lene Nystrom He stressed: “to put one in bad taste on top of the other”, since the issue of the song was not chosen. Another band member, Soren Rasted He pointed out more amusingly that they should have said they refused because they weren’t happy with the protagonist of Keneven if it was just a joke:

Ryan Gosling is not good enough for us! “

The band admitted that instead of getting hurt because the song wasn’t chosen for such an important project, it will actually end up favoring them again because current generations will turn around to see them.

And maybe all of the reasons fit why we don’t have the iconic unofficial Barbie theme in “Barbie”, and that’s exactly why: “Barbie Girl” isn’t a theme that was written for Mattel or that features. like the single of the doll or one of its animated series and films, but on the contrary it represents the opposite side that the company wants to show through one of its best-selling toys in the world.

The live action “Barbie”, will premiere according to the dates revealed by WB, July 21, 2023.
