25 Funny Fan Reactions to ‘Barbie’s’ Chaotic and Colorful New Trailer | “This Barbie Is Having an Existential Crisis”

Ever since Greta Gerwig's highly-anticipated Barbie trailer dropped, the internet has been going berserk about its star cast and vibrant cinematography. Even though the actual plot of the film has been kept tightly under wraps, the overwhelmingly positive response from the fans proves that the film is set to become another success on Gerwig's resume. In the newly-released full-length trailer of Barbie, we can see the lead cast of the film, Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling who play Barbie and Ken respectively, get into quite a pickle. In this quirky cinematic adaptation of Barbie Land, the audience is introduced to the idyllic life of Barbie dolls and how colorful and chaotic their environment is. But strange occurrences in Barbie Land lead Robbie's Barbie to cross over to the real human world so she can "learn the truth about the universe." As Barbie's forever companion Ken doll tags along with the runaway Barbie, the duo is forced to face the pros and cons of living among real-world people. But before the film hits the theaters on July 21, 2023, the fans are here to react to the trailer which is absurdly hilarious. Here are some of the funniest tweets that you need to check out before grabbing your buckets of popcorn and going to the theater to enjoy the spectacle in July.

they didn’t premiere barbie at cannes because if they did the audience would still be standing up and clapping until june 1st and that’s a liability on the festival https://t.co/vyYAMVyHxX
