Yet as per reports, the plot of this live-action movie will start in Barbie's dream world wherein the main character will ultimately realize she doesn't belong. The seemingly perfect life of the lovable doll will be gone as Barbie will find herself thrown in the real world. This will open an entirely new journey for Barbie and will lead to a new insight about perfection.
Though the plot may seem a bit predictable, it will surely be interesting to see how the talented Amy Schumer will do as Barbie. The fresh plot may also give young viewers a healthy view about self-image and feminism.
