„We’re just normal films. We’re just innocent films.“
Even before the Barbie movie became one of the biggest films of 2023, it was clear Mattel was going to use that as a jumping off point to bring more of its toys to the silver screen. The company’s never been shy about what toys are getting the movie treatment, with the most well-known of the bunch being one focused on Barney the Purple Dinosaur that will star Nope’s Daniel Kaluuya.
Recently, Mattel CEO Ynon Kreiz touched on that film, currently titled Barbie & Friends. In an interview with Semafor Business, he said it was “too early” to talk specifics for that film, but claimed it would be less existentially meta than Barbie was.
