We poked holes in our Barbies' ears and used cut off sewing pins as earrings, cut and dyed their hair, and built elaborate Barbie houses out of cardboard boxes because the real ones were too expensive! There was always one rich friend who got the real stuff and if we were lucky we could bring our Barbies to her house to play. It was like walking into this film world, everything pink, shiny, and perfect! Gerwig and the set designers are spot on visually and tonally!
As someone who has an absurd number of Barbie dolls and whose favorite movie of all time is _2001: A Space Odyssey,_ I feel like this trailer was made for specifically to me. 😁
Barbie has tons of movies they're just all direct to DVD and aimated. I grew up on that stuff. Honestly, they were really fun when I was little to have a feminine kick ass role model like her. Despite not being a woman myself, Barbie still made me wanna be a mermaid lol. I look forward to her live action debut. This film looks great
Been watching you guys since like 2016 and you reacting to the Barbie trailer is just incredibleeeee. Love you guys changing up the repertoire, adding some more filmy stuff in. You guys have the most amazing vibe and when a new video drops i know it will honestly make my day 🤍🔥 Keep it coming ! 🌈
I'm expecting this is going to be in a universe like the animated Life in the Dreamhouse series they did a few years ago. The dolls go around having normal lives, but everything has toy mechanics. Like they decorate with stickers. There's a glitter shortage epidemic one time. Ken is often at odds with assembly instructions. It's honestly a really great show.
Apparently Simu liu had an interview and his agent told him the Barbie script was one of the best scripts he has ever read and thought he should really take it. And he did so it has to be good just knowing that
I never thought I'd see you guys react to the Barbie teaser, but also I needed it!! But it makes sense, Barbie has literally had super heroes dolls 😁!! I'm so flipping excited about this damn movie. Also I played with Barbies and my brother would play with me with his GI Joes & Max Steel figures. Based on some of the things I've seen and heard from casting, I think it's definetly going to be something about Barbie being in her world and then somehow her and Ken enter into ours.
Tyra Banks did a Barbie-similar movie where she was a doll that came to life - I really enjoyed it as a kid. It had heart. I hope this Barbie movie will also have some heart to it ☺️
With my girls, I have seen every Babie movie, series, and RUclips shorts. And I can't stress how excited I am about this movie. Seriously, great, great, great teaser. Disclaimer: I didn't grow up liking Barbie so much. But I have two girls who LOVE Barbie. And thanks to them I have a great appreciation for Barbie. Love it.
Another great video guys! Y’all are one of my top favorite react and film related channels! As for the Barbie movie, I never knew I needed it until now. It looks so good!
I was skeptical about it a few months ago, thinking that it just wouldn't be for me: a cheesy commercial toy movie. This teaser has me... re-evaluating that impression. Even if the 2001 references are just for the teaser, its tone has a self-awareness that scratches that metatheatrical itch in my soul. Could be fun.
I am a 1990's kid and one of the big things of the time was an Asian Barbie, a Latina Barbie, and an African Barbie I wonder if those variants will make an appearance in this film.
Damn, This trailer is lit! I'm with Hector, huge Margot Robbie fan and my sister and all the female cousins had Barbies. Have a great weekend guys and please stay safe! Excelsior! Heff
Nooo. Barbie is already a huge movie star and RUclipsr. And her RUclips channel is pretty legit. She had a great BLM video. (Skipper is her little sis)
I have my doubts about it. "Barbie Girl" is a highly sarcastic music, that plays around sensitive themes like feminine agency, consent and objectification. (BUT, it is a Greta Gerwig/Margot Robbie movie. I would not be surprised if Aqua's Barbie Girl really made into the movie.)
It's not going to be in it. Mattel was very angry about the song when it came out and they had a very public falling out with Aqua so they can't get the rights to use the song.
Pleasantly surprised seeing a reaction video to this trailer 😊. Seeing as Barbie the brand is engrained in pop culture as any of the superheroes, I thank you, 😂. This trailer got me really excited to see how this movie will be like. I can see it being similar to the Lego movie. Being self aware of its ridiculousness but charming at the same time. I’d love to teleport myself to that Dream House world too 😍.
When I first heard about this, the main draw was the SImu Liu was going to be in it, but honestly this trailer and the things I've read about it recently have got me kind of excited to see it.
@@GojiFan1985yt Basically what Lupin788 said. I'm a fan of Simu Liu, and it certainly wouldn't be the first film I've checked out because I was a fan of a single actor who appears in it.
Hadn't heard about this movie until now. Can't wait, it looks so fun! Love that Margot Robbie plays Barbie she really looks the part. I really loved playing with barbie dolls as a child. Had a few of them and yes, some of them were always naked haha. Had some handmade clothes from my mom/grandma for them. And some old clothes from the 60s. My grandma had my mom and aunts old barbie dolls and accessories from back then. The dolls stayed with her but I got some clothes. They were so cool and special. Oh and my dad build me a house for them from scrapwood since the dream house was too expensive. He put carpets on the floors, wallpaper on the walls and it even had a staircase with two functioning lamps. So it was way more special than the plastic house in the end. Had some pointy edges too though. Almost split my head open stumbling over my feet and falling into it one day haha. Good times. 😋😀
2001 has put me to sleep both times I tried to watch it. I don't fall asleep during movies. If they suck, I turn them off around the 40 minute mark. I've watched slow movies, artsy movies and weird movies, and enjoyed them. Unless i get insomnia, I'm never attempting to watch 2001 again. I might give Barbie a watch, if the buzz around it doesn't turn to grumbles.
I wonder how many other girls had "human sacrifice" where they had one designated Barbie that was reserved for "killing" for either the monster or the old god or whatever. I also had one that was a serial killer/monster who would go around her friend group and kill them. I had a lot of time and a lot of hand-me-down Barbies in my early childhood.
@user-ei8mx2pq1o one of my Ken dolls was an amputee because my friend had a nasty habit of constantly chewing on things and for some reason, Ken's ankle was her go-to. I had 3 Ken dolls while my neighborhood besties didn't have any, yet MY Barbie always ended up with a stuffie of some kind (for a goody goody, mousey white girl, I'd throw hands at whoever tried to take my Hawaiian Barbie. She was Best Girl.)
When I was little my sister and I thought our barbies hair would grow if we cut it (ours did, why shouldn’t hers?) so we cut the one one, really choppy and crooked, and when it didn’t grow back she became 'The Witch' 😂
Barbie has had DVD type movies. This feels bigger as it's hitting it's history and possibly what Barbie makes others feel. What's Barbie's power for others. Barbie was created to influenced girls that they could be more then just mothers with the dolls. "Barbie was the brainchild of Ruth Handler, co-founder (with her husband Elliot) of the toy company Mattel, Inc. Inspired by watching their daughter play with make-believe paper dolls of adult women, Handler realized there was an unfilled niche in the market for a toy that allowed little girls to imagine the future."
Idea: Heroes Reforged reacts to the 2012 Barbie series on Netflix. The 2018 series is cute, I like it, but the 2012 series had me cracking up from episode 1.
i really really hope that the movie isnt just a love letter to barbie and the barbie brand, but also to the specific sort of play system little girls, and all children really, have with their dolls. i think that creativity was part of what made the lego movies and the toy story franchise so appealing and still massively entertaining to watch
Did Hector forget that the movie is actually produced by Mattel Films (a new division designed to bring the company's properties to life in film) and distributed by Warner Bros.? He-Man is definitely getting a different treatment going forward than it had been receiving (no comment on the forthcoming View-Master, Uno or Rock 'Em Sock 'Em Robots films)
barbie actually has loads of movies, as does lego. theyre all animated and aimed at kids. the barbie movie and the lego movie arent their only movies, but rather more intentional and poignant stories about what they mean to us
I have an older sister, and I remember how much she liked her "Barbie morenita" over the blonde ones back in the 80s. I'm going to call her and tell her about this trailer/movie if she already doesn't know about it! Also, I'm going to watch this with my daughter! 😎 Major props for reacting to this teaser trailer!
Here’s the thing though. There have been Barbie movie and other direct to video/DVD/VHS TV cartoon related stuff. This is seemingly tthe first movie to take a serious stab at a Barbie project drawing adult audiences
Greta is going to kill this movie! After Lady Bird, and Little Women, Barbie is the perfect step for her to go. Both Greta and Margot are perfect to make this movie!
I think we all know why lego got movies greenlit before barbie. In my opinion Hector was on the money. It would've been so easy to screw this up and put Barbie in the real world. Even tho I'd imagine this movie was hardly for me I'm happy to see this much love and care put into it. Looking forward to seeing all the ladies geek out 😁
This movie is going to be iconic. Wether if its for the memes, wether if it has a good story, wether if we get them singing silly things... Whatever happens in the movie, we know its going to be epic and iconic because of this awesome trailer.
I'm so excited bout this movie and LOVE y'all did a reaction to the teaser! I was obsessed w/Barbie growing up so I always received these toys as gifts. Someone gave me a Bride Barbie and Groom Ken. I divorced them. As a child, I was not about marriage and I wanted Barbie to be independent & a player! Hahaha!
@@philip07304 It's a teaser. As Adam said, a teaser should provide flavour but no real details about plot. Aside from the shot-for-shot recreation of the 2001: A Space Odyssey sequence, this teaser should not be "making sense" for anyone.
for Sir Hector - i am with you 100%. i choose Barbie, iChuckle. understand, i shall be seeing both films on opening day [taking a day off work] but the LEVEL of excitement my elder-millenial-arse feels i just .... oh my gosh, it's so good! i want it.
Not going to lie, when I saw the riff from the sequence from "2001: A Space Odyssey," I popped, I could not stop laughing for a good three minutes, I was not expecting that at all. 🤌
That honestly might be the best teaser/first look trailer I've ever seen. Fully committed to the bit, kudos Ms. Gerwig.
i have that doll

Come on, Hector. You know Film Twitter is firmly in the Barbie camp! A film with this pedigree?! It's going to be Best Picture 2024!
So cool to see Hector on New Rockstars. Love Heroes Reforged

I really don't mind the space odyssey thing not being in the actual movie. I miss seeing movie trailers with just trailer exclusive footage.
8:05; LOL! That was so many of us growing up :)
Nooo. Barbie is already a huge movie star and RUclipsr. And her RUclips channel is pretty legit. She had a great BLM video. (Skipper is her little sis)

One thing.. Aquas' "Barbie Girl" makes it into the movie.. thats it.. bummer if its not. The rest is all plastic fantastic! 😎👌

This is such a fun teaser trailer! Beautifully crafted
When I first heard about this, the main draw was the SImu Liu was going to be in it, but honestly this trailer and the things I've read about it recently have got me kind of excited to see it.
Why is him being in it a draw?
@@GojiFan1985yt If you're a fan of a particular actor, him being in a new movie could be the main draw for you.
@@GojiFan1985yt Basically what Lupin788 said. I'm a fan of Simu Liu, and it certainly wouldn't be the first film I've checked out because I was a fan of a single actor who appears in it.
Everyone Wake Up!!! Heroes Reforged just posted a new video!!!!
I'm with Hector, opening weekend I'm buying Barbie tickets. It looks fantastic.
Hey guys, Life in Plastic, it's fantastic. Hey Barbie, wanna go for a ride? Sure, Ken. Come on, Barbie, let's go party.

And just like that I need to watch the Barbie movie. 😍
I'm with Hector, going to watch Barbie on the opening night.
2001 has put me to sleep both times I tried to watch it. I don't fall asleep during movies. If they suck, I turn them off around the 40 minute mark. I've watched slow movies, artsy movies and weird movies, and enjoyed them. Unless i get insomnia, I'm never attempting to watch 2001 again. I might give Barbie a watch, if the buzz around it doesn't turn to grumbles.
Greta Gerwig is doing for Barbie what Phil Lord & Chris Miller did for Lego. Can’t wait.

I don't know if this is how it will be, but the first thing that sprung to my mind was the Josie and the Pussycats movie as a comparison.

i really hope the movie goes full horror and Barbie finds herself in the Graveyard of the ‘naked dolls’
I couldn’t agree with Hector more about MOTU. Please let it happen 🙏🏼
I’m calling it now, this movie will be nominated for at least one Oscar next year. People hating on it are about to get a rude awakening lol
Margot Robbie as Wendy Peffercorn 😍 take my 💵
I am excited for this (weirdly) I love Greta as a director, and I am ready.
I hope they reference Barbie and the Rockers in this movie. That's my generation of Barbie. Squeee, this looks awesome!
… I know it won’t happen, but I’d love a Jem & the Holograms reference
My kids would disagree about this being novel. They grew up on Barbie movies (and i have a soft spot for them as well). 😉
Barbie movies already exist. They just never made a live-action one until now.
