The upcoming Barbie movie has everyone hyped up and it is easy to see why. We love movies like this, where the main objective is to have a good time.
July 21 is a long way away, so we are doing our best to remain patient in the meantime. The memes that are already being spawned since the trailer’s release have been a lot of fun, that is for sure.
Now, we are also learning more about Barbie lore because of one TikTok user. She considers herself to be a Barbie expert. Once you have had the time to watch her analysis of the trailer, you are going to understand why.
Bobbi (who goes by @theafternoonspecial) is the type of person to happily describe themselves as a Barbie aficionado. She describes herself in the video as “your friend who knows just a little too much about Barbie.”
This makes sense, after all. We all need to have our own hobbies and areas of expertise. Once she provided her description of the trailer itself, the accuracy was far too much for us to ignore. There are all sorts of symbols, references, and details that the average person may have missed out on. That’s why Bobbi is here to explain it all to us.
We have all seen the shot of Barbie’s feet as she steps out of her heels. It went viral immediately and according to Bobbi, this is actually a great sign.
The fact that she still maintained the Barbie arch that all of her fans know and love was a positive indicator for Bobbi. “I don’t know about you, but this was singlehandedly the moment I knew we were in good hands with this movie,” she says.
The massive sign that features a Barbie who is clad in butterfly wings is even a callback for the longtime fans, as Bobbi is more than happy to explain. As it turns out, this is an “Easter egg” that is designed to remind fans of the 2011 film Barbie: A Fairy Secret.

If you take the time to watch her video, she even offers up her own theories about the plot to the movie, which she readily admits could be a reach. Those who checked out her explanation of the trailer loved it, though.
“I love how they’re blending all of the different eras of Barbie,” said one viewer.
