   Regarding the movie here in the year 2023,  I think the producer wants to   
   completely change Barbie's original body according to political correctness,   
   maybe?  Corporate correctness?  Some contrived 'compliance'?   
   What most women somehow want to see in an appearance as disarming, instead of   
   the original 1960s extremely threatening very rare bombshell appearance (that   
   you hardly ever see).   
      
   The producer should admit all this first, right?
