Kate McKinnon’s Barbie Connects To Major Barbie Doll Change From 59 Years Ago

Kate McKinnon’s Weird Barbie represents many destroyed Barbies in the Barbie movie, but she also connects a major doll change from nearly 60 years ago. McKinnon plays Barbie Land’s ostracized doll, who has chopped hair, pen on her face, and the constant urge to drop into the splits. Weird Barbie hilariously encapsulates many Barbie dolls that their owners have defaced. McKinnon is a highlight of the Barbie movie, and her constant dropping into the splits is a key part of her character, something which freaks the other Barbies out but is a humorous nod to how the Barbie doll is made.
