As the Barbie The film told its audience in a great way, that Barbie was the first doll of its kind. As shown in the opening of the film (through tribute to 2001: A Space Odyssey), Barbie changed the imagination of little girls, as the first doll on the world market to be a grown woman, rather than a child or an infant. In doing so, Barbie helped shape the image for billions of girls of what a woman is – or could be.
The original Barbie doll came out in 1959, making the doll 64 years old in terms of physical existence. What is less clear, however, is at what age Barbie thinks the doll is in its dying state.
Margot Robbie – who plays the original, stereotypical Barbie – is 33 years old and is the perfect visual embodiment of the OG doll image in human form. However, given the ideas of the time about age and women, the original Barbie doll is much younger.
What is Barbie’s official age?
According to Mattel, Barbie is officially 19 years old, which was probably decided early on. Given the number of jobs Barbie has held, from astronaut to doctor, the modern Barbie is probably not yet a teenager. However, her age has never been updated, and it is likely assumed to be a figment of the doll owner’s imagination.
A major reason Barbie is unlikely to be 19 now is marriage and children. Many Barbie bride dolls have been released in the history of the doll, and it would probably not go down as well now if Barbie was a teenager during her wedding.
If we’re going by a literal definition of age, Barbie should be about 83 years old in 2023, while Ken was introduced in 1961, making him about the same age as his octogenarian girlfriend. So maybe everyone who said Ryan Gosling was too old to play Ken should write an excuse note app.
How old was another Barbie doll?
Although Barbie herself was not pregnant, her best friend Midge is famous. The reason why the pregnant Midge was so controversial was that many believed that the doll would encourage pregnancy in young girls. The original pregnant Midge did not have a wedding ring, and her husband Allan (yes, to Allan) sold separately. The idea of an expectant single mother Barbie got Mattel into a lot of hot water on its own, so they probably don’t want to add the idea of teenage pregnancy.
Barbie was later joined by Skipper in 1964 and was marketed as Barbie’s younger sister. Skipper was first introduced as a child, and later as a teenager, perhaps most famously through the Growing Up Skipper Doll with inflatable breasts. Not surprisingly, that doll was later retired, banished alongside a pregnant Midge. If Skipper is a teenager these days, Barbie probably isn’t considered the same age.
