"barbie truly created the ideal society. women in every career field without question and holding positions of power. wearing pink traditionally hyper-feminine outfits while doing so. modern urban planning that creates walkable utopian cities. unique architectural designs. himbos everywhere. neon colors as far as the eye can see. everyone slaying."

Sadly much like many Disney movies, Barbie was a vehicle for corporate-approved feminism, but isn't willing to actually confront the class war.

But no movie studio wants to admit to the class war, even when they overshadow the principal antagonist with capitalism (such as the PoTC example, an undead octopus-faced monster with his heart locked away in a box, overshadowed by the British East India Company).

Taking another page from Monsters Inc. no studio today would include the Scream Extractor in their kids movie.
