A second said: ‘I feel like there’s a huge missed opportunity in this Barbie trailer. Why isn’t the theme song ‘Barbie Girl’ by Aqua?’.
With a third agreeing: ‘The most disappointing thing to me about the Barbie movie is how in the trailer they went ‘Hi Barbie’ ‘Hi Ken’ and then Barbie Girl by Aqua did NOT start playing’.
While a fourth movie fan wrote: ‘As great as that Barbie trailer was, you know a slow version of Aqua’s Barbie Girl would’ve been the icing on the plastic cake.
Some even vowed to fix the apparent error and edited the trailer to include the 1997 Aqua hit.
