The Untold Secrets Unveiled: Director Endorses Mind-Blowing Theory Behind Barbie/LEGO Movie!
Director's endorsement adds credibility to the intriguing Barbie-LEGO Movie theory, providing a plausible explanation for the shared universe A must-read for fans seeking an exciting perspective on these beloved franchises
Summary
The Lego Movie director supports the theory that it shares a universe with Barbie, as both movies have similar themes and are produced by Warner Bros.
Content based on the common actor, Will Ferrell, who portrays conflicting characters with shared interests in both films forms the foundation of the theory.
The triumph of The Lego Movie and its profound impact on the advancement of Barbie imply the possibility of future movies based on toys.
The director of The Lego Movie, Chris Miller, takes to Twitter to show his support for a popular theory linking his film with Barbie. Barbie has been a huge success at the box office, earning an impressive $795.7 million and being one of the highest-grossing movies of 2023. Both movies, The Lego Movie and Barbie, share similar themes of self-discovery and are based on popular toys. Because of this and the fact that both films were produced by Warner Bros., theories have emerged suggesting a shared universe between the two. To fuel speculation, Miller posts pictures from both movies on Twitter with the caption "shared universe."
Why The Barbie-LEGO Movie Universe Theory Would Make Sense
Will Ferrell, who stars in both Barbie and The LEGO Movie, is featured in a side-by-side photo shared by Miller. The image showcases Ferrell wearing almost identical suits in both movies.
Miller is alluding to a popular theory that suggests Barbie and The LEGO Movie exist in the same fictional universe. Fans have been speculating about this connection ever since the release of the first trailer featuring Ferrell. In the trailer, Ferrell's character is depicted as the CEO of Mattel, attempting to contain Barbie. Keen observers have drawn parallels between this character and Ferrell's portrayal of Lord Business in The LEGO Movie, both serving as antagonistic figures with similar motives.
It would make sense for Barbie and The Lego Movie to exist in the same universe for various reasons. Both movies feature characters played by Ferrell who are portrayed as adversaries to toys in the real world. In Barbie, Ferrell's portrayal of the Mattel CEO aims to hinder Barbie's aspirations of living in the real world and wants to keep her as just a toy. Similarly, in The Lego Movie universe, Lord Business (and The Man Upstairs) aims to destroy the Lego universe using a powerful adhesive substance called Kragle. The similarities in the personas and goals of these characters suggest that it is unlikely for these toy movies to have no connection within their respective universes.
Furthermore, The Lego Movie has had a consistent presence in the development process of Barbie. Even Diablo Cody, the screenwriter who worked on a version of Barbie that ultimately got canceled, mentioned that The Lego Movie’s success was used as a reference point during her work on Barbie. Additionally, Mattel, the company behind Barbie, has plans for other toy-based movies, which have been in the works for several years following the success of The Lego Movie franchise. Considering the immense success of Barbie and The Lego Movie, along with their potential for sequels, it is highly probable that we have not seen the last of Will Ferrell's portrayal as a toy villain, capable of bringing destruction to plastic worlds and affecting Barbie's story.
