I haven’t seen either movie, but last night my wife took my 9 year old daughter and 13 year old son to see the Barbie movie. I didn’t think my son would be too interested, but he was bored so he tagged along.
When he got home I asked him how the movie was, and his response was interesting and kind of caught me off guard.
He was noticeably a bit miffed, and felt as though the movie really portrayed men in a crappy and unfair way. He said during one point in the movie when the characters went into the “real world” the men were depicted as misogynistic (my word based on his description) pigs…essentially.
He was kind of upset about the whole thing. Anyway, just sharing the perspective of a very well adjusted, bright, and kind 13 year old boy. My wife and daughter both enjoyed the movie.
