I was wondering where she had got to.

I'm sorry, was she one of yours? For a price, I can ship her back to you.

So the ad mentions if they get shrunk to doll size or it's another dimension and it either or.

Sounds like they sweep the whole question under the rug. As expected.

I saw the trailer in the theater the other day while watching "Elemental." I can't decide if "Barbie" will be one of the worst movies ever made, or so over the top with campiness that it turns into some kind of cult classic. Either way, I'm out. (If there are SW scenes of any use, which I very much doubt, I will watch them in compilations later. Meanwhile, bring on that "The Boys" sequel already...!)

Yeah well at least they mentionned the "elephant in the room". Bummer.

They can't pull that with the Polly Pocket movie, right? Right!?!

I'm not holding out any hope for any movie made for kids. None of the scenarios hold my interest. I am waiting for a remake of Incredible Shrinking Woman. Anything else is an inevitable let down.

I think Jesse Jr. Art Portal movie is going to be the only decent SW movie in the near or distant future.

Or the Land of the Giants reboot becomes a thing. Or a Doctor Cyclops reboot.

Hollywood is so "woke", any remakes of old series or movies would be pretty lame.

Land of Giants doesn't feature any shrinking, just tiny people. Those storylines don't do it for me. For me the the fireworks is the shrinking itself. Speaking of Dr Cyclops, Amblin Entertainment had Michael Crichton's Micro in development, but that looks to be indefinitely stalled. And the Honey I Shrunk the Kids reboot is stalled as well. But I will forever be holding out for Incredible Shrinking Woman, or something vaguely adjacent. I gotta have the baggy clothes stuff.

Here's a pic from a promo I saw sometime ago. It's kind of "squint" moment but I like it.

This is a huge reach, but remember the movie "Welcome to Marwen"?

It had at least 5 lovely celebs as SWs/dolls (sort of). Go ahead and Google it.

I looked through the IMDB pages of Marwen and Barbie. They both have someone named Gunter in visual effects. In Marwen, Gunter works with Atomic Fiction as a visual effects coordinator. In Barbie, Gunter is now a visual effects associate producer for Framestore (perhaps their own company).

She could have doll joints, or look completely human. All I'm asking for is a POV handheld of Margot Robbie.

Land of the Giants is really no different than shrinking. The little people went from their normal world to an identical world, just many times larger, so why is it different? Yes, the LOTG series has some weak plots and it could be much better. "Borrower" plot lines, true, don't involve the perspective of shrinking as they have always lived in the "giant" world, but once they begin interacting with the beans, the difference in size is interesting, at least for me. The Portal appears to be a LOTG thing, so it's good for me....except the weird masks. Not sure what that is all about, but we'll have to wait and see. For me, it's the media format. I prefer photocollage. Most of the CGI doesn't interest me, although I have seen a few very advanced CGI that nearly looks like a real photograph.

I remember that movie. Cute concept and great video effects. With the right plot, it could be a great sw movie, but as if it was all in the mind of the "giant".

I think a "Barbie" movie on the line of Toy Story could satisfy our niche. When no people are around, the dolls look and act human, but Barbie size. When people are around, they are immobile dolls, but with real faces and they can move their eyes and some facial expressions, but only as seen by the other dolls. In the people's eyes, they look like regular dolls.

Well, there's at least one thing to come out of this Barbie movie disappointment. There's lots of pictures of Margot Robbie dressed in what appear to be doll clothes. And as DocRick shows, they are great for photoshopping. Could probably do some good fanfics and stories too. One story I thought of could be Margot getting shrunk and spending time as a little girl's Barbie to prepare for the role.

That's one of the reasons I made a whole series on the concept.
