Amidst all the humor, there's one particular scene that had director Greta Gerwig in fits of laughter. Cinematographer Rodrigo Prieto revealed in an interview with Variety that this Jaws-inspired scene made Gerwig burst into uncontrollable laughter and ask to watch it repeatedly. This comedic scene showcases one of the many characters in Barbie's extensive cast, Allan. It is likely to be shown during the post-credit scenes of the new IMAX release. Below is a quote from Prieto about the scene:
We captured a scene with Allan, reminiscent of the iconic 'Jaws' moment, where he becomes terrified as Ken hits a powerful wave and gets launched into the air. In this particular moment, a police officer witnesses someone being consumed in the water. The camera employs a push-in technique, utilizing a zoom while simultaneously moving backward, effectively altering the background. The outcome is a visually dramatic shot, enhanced by Allan's riveting performance. Greta found the scene incredibly amusing and requested multiple replays from the video assistant, unable to contain her laughter.
