so I was talking with my brother the other day and I mentioned the new Barbie teaser trailer that came out and it prompted him to pitch me that instead of doing the live action film, what they really should have done is continue to do more of those animated Barbie films except instead of adapting the typical fairy tales, they should have Barbie play classical and historical figures such as Joan of Arc, Helen of Troy, Cleopatra, Medea from Jason and the Argonauts, Mary Antoinette, etc.
and ideally these films should still be PG-rated so that a whole generation of kids will grow up watching these films and then later on in adulthood write posts like ‘TIL that the barbie film i grew up watching was actually based on the story of Joan of Arc.’
who do I call to make this happen because I think my brother is on to something here…
