‘Barbie’ Easter Eggs: Greta Gerwig and Margot Robbie Dish on Their Favorite Hidden Details

variety.com:

Angelique Jackson “Barbie” director Greta Gerwig loved playing with Barbies growing up, so when the time came to bring the world’s most famous doll to the big screen, she was well-versed in Barbie lore and infused the Margot Robbie-starring movie with tons of pink plastic (and fantastic) details. “There must be thousands of B’s everywhere because they also have like designs in the carpet,” Gerwig told Variety on the pink carpet at the world premiere in Los Angeles. (She’s not kidding — we spotted the cursive “B” everywhere, on the dreamhouse walls and patterned on the windows.) Asked which “Hidden B” Easter Egg is her favorite, Gerwig played coy. “I can’t tell it.

But I know it,” she teased. So, with that in mind, Variety scrubbed through the footage to find all the hidden details in Gerwig’s “Barbie” world.

First, there are the references to other Barbie movies. For instance, there’s a Pegasus statue carved into a rock on Barbieland’s beach, which evokes the 2005 film “The Magic of Pegasus,” while a poster of Barbie dressed as a fairy, as a nod to the 2011 movie “A Fairy Secret.” Mattel’s “Barbie” magazine is featured at the Barbie’s sleepover, Then, there’s the lineup of discontinued dolls.

A couple have featured roles — but do you know their backstories? Michael Cera plays Allan, who was designed to be Ken’s “buddy” and can fit into all his clothes, while Emerald Fennell pops up as Midge, who (controversially) was Barbie’s pregnant bestie.
