The Barbie doll has been around for quite some time. According to
The Washington Post, Amy Schumer will be playing Barbie in the new upcoming Barbie film. A film that revolves around the idea that Barbie isn't perfect in Babieland and is kicked out into the 'real-world adventure.' Overall, it's about time that Barbie starts to teach girls that no one is perfect. It's going to go against what Barbie has been portraying over the years. This will be a phase that no one has seen before. Barbie has been teaching girls that the only way to be considered "perfect" is if you're skinny. That's what
Mirror Mirror Eating Disorders said. This leads many women and girls to develop various eating disorders. The fact that she's not perfect anymore really engages the audience, making them want to see the movie. Amy Schumer was a good casting choice because she's not what Barbie portrays. She has a figure that isn't the figure that Barbie typically have: the skinny one. This will really be a good message to all females, that you can be just the way you are.
