Barbie leaves Barbie Land for the real world after she starts to have thoughts about death and flat feet. It's a comedy about identity and plastic, built on big, deliberately artificial sets.

How it was made

• Principal photography took place at Warner Bros. Studios Leavesden in England.
• The Barbieland palette was inspired by the three-strip Technicolor look.
• Gerwig chose practical effects over CGI where she could. Some sequences used miniature models composited into the image.
