31 Hidden Fascinating Barbie Movie Details That Not Everyone Uncovers

Anyone who has had the chance to witness Greta Gerwig's take on the iconic doll in this summer's biggest blockbuster yet will know that 'Barbie' is full of spectacular performances and touching, empowering moments. And who wouldn't be hypnotized by those perfect dance sequences you simply can't get enough? Or should we say - Kenough?

Still, 'Barbie' is not just a visual treat - it is a delightful feast for cinema buffs. A love letter to the moving pictures, too. From the offset, Gerwig begins her record-breaking film with a playful nod to Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey. And continues to roll with pretty clever Easter eggs - not only from the history of the iconic doll but also from the images that inspired Barbie - keeping cinemagoers engaged throughout the film and even after the credits start rolling.
