00:00 Barbie is a film about being human, about becoming human.

00:04 Greta was the first person and the only person we went to

00:07 because I love her as a writer, as a director.

00:10 You just hold on, Prunsa.

00:11 Sublime!

00:12 I knew that she would be doing something

00:14 that feels relevant and current.

00:16 That's amazing, great, I love that one.

00:18 She's an incredibly generous, brilliant person.

00:22 Greta's enthusiasm is just completely contagious.

00:25 Three, two, one.

00:26 Here, let us show you.

00:28 Yes, that's great.

00:30 I feel like we've always used dolls

00:32 as a way to kind of understand ourselves through play.

00:35 I thought, well, wouldn't it be wonderful

00:37 if she was allowed to be like us

00:40 and to be flawed and messy

00:42 and not have to be perfectly perfect.

00:44 I'm fine.

00:47 A-okay.

00:48 Greta's the best.

00:50 She's an incredible director.

00:51 I think she's an auteur.

00:52 I don't understand how a person has that clear of a vision

00:56 for every single detail of the movie.

00:58 Greta's sense of humor and intelligence

01:01 and warmth and heart is in everything.

01:04 Greta described a script as human emotion

01:06 expressed through dolls, and it was exactly that.

01:09 I wanted to paint in big, beautiful, broad strokes

01:12 and build this crazy world

01:14 and have it be funny and real and relatable,

01:17 and I just want people to feel joyful.

01:19 Barbie!
