Barbie has appeared in numerous movies and series, becoming an entertainment icon. One of her most notable films is the 2023 movie “Barbie” starring Margot Robbie. In this film, Barbie is expelled from Barbieland for not being a perfect-looking doll and ventures into the human world in search of true happiness. The movie not only captivates with its exciting and emotional storyline but also addresses themes of self-acceptance and the search for identity.
