The original Barbie and Ken designs for the Barbie movie were uncomfortably close to the real toys and had to be completely and utterly changed.

Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT The original designs for the Barbie movie had to be scrapped for being too much like the original toys. Based on the toy franchise, Barbie tells the story of Barbie and Ken as they discover the real world and the struggle of life outside Barbieland. With Barbie slated to cross $1 billion at the box office over the weekend, the film has been dominating theaters since it first premiered alongside Oppenheimer.

"We thought, 'Should they have plastic seams? Should they have plastic skin, plastic hair?' We didn't like all of those things in the end because Barbies are beautiful in every child's mind. So, once we created that fake image it wasn't beautiful." Changing Barbie's Design Was Wise It can be difficult to scrap fully fleshed-out designs, but avoiding the original look was the right move for Barbie. Seeing characters made entirely of plastic can work in animation or stop-motion films, but a live-action Barbie would have looked completely absurd had every character been less life-like. It would distract from the overall message and leave Barbie and Ken as jarring figures once they entered the real world.
