If you’ve ever wanted a Google search experience worthy of a piece of decoration in a Barbie Dreamhouse, you’re in luck. An easter egg is now available when you Google the phrase Barbie to coincide with the toy-based film.
When you type in the name of the doll made famous by Mattel, a splash of pink fireworks will overwhelm your screen, and the same thing will happen when you Google the director, Greta Gerwig, and stars, Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling, as ComicBook pointed out. After the fireworks dissipate, the entire page will sport a flamingo hue worthy of the blonde bombshell’s famous Cadillac. Check out the screenshot below for a taste of a pink experience more sugary-sweet than cotton candy.
It’s obvious that the Barbie movie is already a pop culture phenomenon worthy of its toy counterpart, even if the full slate of reviews has yet to officially drop.
For instance, the Barbenheimer meme is a testament to how ingrained the film is already in our cultural consciousness. The film has been given equal attention as Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer, a serious biopic drama about the creation of the atomic bomb. In fact, the crux of the meme now centers around people doing a double feature of both Barbie and Oppenheimer, which release on the same day.
With the talent of Oscar-nominated Gerwig, known for her impressive work in films like Little Women and Lady Bird, alongside the colorful and humorous trailers, Barbie is sure to be a crowd-pleasing summer comedy with as much intellect as there is fanfare.
Check out Barbie in theaters near you on July 21.
