To me, it's no different than basing a movie off actions figures like G.I. Joe and TMNT, or children's books like Dr. Suess and Captain Underpants.
Fundamentally, you can make a good Barbie movie that is just pink and feel-good. However, that is not this movie. There was an air of adulthood in this movie that simply doesn't fit right the moment I saw the trailers. The mvoie doesn't look to be made for kids, it was made for adults... And who would fundamentally be taken to a Barbie movie made for adults? Kids.
