Since the beginning of time, since the first little girl existed, there have been dolls.
Yes, Barbie changed everything.
All of these women are Barbie, and Barbie is all of these women.
She might have started out as just a lady in a bathing suit, but she became so much more.
She has her own money, her own house, her own car, her own career.
Because Barbie can be anything, women can be anything.
Girls grow into women who can achieve everything and anything they set their mind to.
Thanks to Barbie, all problems of feminism and equal rights have been solved.
At least, that’s what the Barbies think.
Who am I to burst their bubble?
She was discontinued by Mattel because a pregnant doll is just too weird.
Barbie has another big day ahead of her.
Turn to the Barbie next to you, tell her how much you love her! Compliment her!
How come you’re so amazing?
No comment! *laughter* No, seriously, no comment.
I worked very hard, so... I deserve it.
This makes me emotional, and I’m expressing it.
I have no difficulty holding both logic and feeling at the same time. And it does not diminish my powers. It expands them.
Barbie has a great day every day, but Ken only has a great day if Barbie looks at him.
I got us both ice creams!
Hey, Barbie! Check me out!
Oh, hey, Barbie. How much of that did you see?
Let’s get you up on your feet.
Ah, looks like this beach was a little too much beach for you.
If I wasn’t severely injured, I would beach you off right now.
I’ll beach off with you any day.
Alright, Ken, you’re on. Let’s beach off.
Anyone who wants to beach him off has to beach me off first.
I will beach both of you off at the same time.
But you don’t even know how to beach yourself off, how are you going to beach both of us off? That doesn’t make sense.
Nobody’s gonna beach anyone off!
Shredding waves is much more dangerous than people realize.
You know, surfer’s not even my job. And it is not lifeguard, which is a common misconception.
It is actually my job... it’s just beach.
And what a good job you do at beach.
Hey Barbie, can I come to your house tonight?
I don’t have anything big planned. Just a giant blowout party with all the Barbies and planned choreography and a bespoke song. You should stop by!
Bet you can’t do a flip like that, Ken.
Gosh, this night is just perfect!
You look so beautiful, Barbie!
Thanks, I feel so beautiful!
This is the best day ever!
It is the best day ever. And so was yesterday, and so is tomorrow, and so is the day after tomorrow, and even Wednesday, and every day from now until forever!
Do you guys ever think about dying?
I don’t know why I just said that.
I thought I might stay over tonight.
Oh, but, I don’t want you here.
This is my dreamhouse. It’s Barbie’s dreamhouse. It’s not Ken’s dreamhouse, right?
Oh, ah-ha-ha, right as always.
Hurry up, the president’s here!
Every night is girls’ night.
Good night, Barbies! I’m definitely not thinking about death anymore!
Barbie doesn’t get embarrassed!
I don’t even have context for this, but... my feet, my heels are on the ground.
I’m no longer on tip-toes.
I know I’m Stereotypical Barbie and therefore don’t form conjectures concerning the causality of adjacent unfolding events, but some things have been happening that might be related.
*Gasp* You’re malfunctioning!
What? No! I’m just... I’m -- am I?
I’ve never seen this kind of malfunction before, it’s usually just hair related.
You know, you’re gonna have to visit Weird Barbie.
I have never had to visit Weird Barbie.
That’s because you’ve never malfunctioned.
I heard that she used to be the most beautiful Barbie of all, but then someone played with her too hard in the real world.
And now she’s fated to an eternity of making other Barbies perfect while falling more and more into disrepair herself.
That and we all call her Weird Barbie both behind her back and also to her face.
She’s so weird! Why is she always in the splits?
Hey. What’s cookin’ good lookin’?
Welcome. Welcome to my weird house.
Sorry about the dog crap. What can I do ya for?
I just had to come see you about my feet.
You’re Stereotypical Barbie, right?
That Ken of yours, he is one nice looking little protein pop.
I’d like to see what kind of nude blob he’s packing under those jeans.
A really fun game of volleyball... thoughts of death.
Maybe some thoughts of death?
I’ve heard of this. Of course, I didn’t think it was possible, but it’s real.
Ah! You’ve done it! You’ve opened a portal.
If you wanna be Stereotypical Barbie perfect again, baby girl, you gotta go fix it, or you’re gonna keep going funny.
And then you’re gonna get sad and mushy and complicated.
You have to go to the real world, and you have to find the girl who’s playing with you.
We’re all being played with, babe.
There’s the girl and the doll, and never the twain shall cross.
Her thoughts and feelings and humanness are interfering with your dollness.
Why would she be sad? We fixed everything so that all women in the real world can be happy and powerful.
I don’t know, but if you ask me, you had something to do with this, too.
It takes two to rip a portal.
I’ve only ever wanted for everything to stay exactly as it is.
Well be that as it may, the two of you are becoming inextricably intertwined. And you gotta help her to help yourself.
So, what’ll it be, then? You can go back to your real life and forget any of this ever happened, or you can know the truth about the universe. The choice is now yours.
Mm, babe, listen, you have to want to know.
I’m not Adventure Barbie, I’m Stereotypical Barbie. I’m like the Barbie you think of when someone says think of a Barbie. That’s me!
You’re a bummer. That’s a bummer.
Okay. I’m ready to forget now.
No! You’re doing this one. I just gave you a choice so you would feel some sense of control.
So, there is no option one?
You have to fix the rip yourself. Don’t blame me, blame Mattel. They make the rules.
Fine, get cellulite, I don’t care.
Weird, I know. Best if you don’t think about it too much.
If you do not find her and fix things, what’s ugly will become uglier and what’s weird will become weirder.
I guess she’s going without you.
She literally asked me, and I was like, ‘I’d prefer to stay here’.
I bet you’re scared. And I bet she doesn’t even want you to go.
Well you bet both those things incorrectly, and I bet in the opposite direction.
I just don’t wanna leave! I’m trying to find reasons not to leave!
I’ll be back in no time with perfect feet, and we’ll forget that this ever happened!
You’ll get to see all the good work we’ve done to fix the world!
I bet every woman will say ‘thank you’ and give you a really big hug.
Bye, Barbie! Good luck in reality.
I can’t. I made a double bet with Ken, and you can’t make me look uncool in front of Ken.
Barbie... what if there’s beach? You’ll need someone who’s a professional in that.
And so Barbie and Ken set off on their adventure to the Real World.
