So close! IdieWire revealed that the Barbie movie almost included a fart opera. According to their investigative journalism piece, Greta Gerwig’s Barbie movie was originally set to feature a fart opera – yes, you read that correctly. Barbie, the iconic figure known for her perfection, was about to let it rip on the big screen.
Greta Gerwig, said, “We’ve always tried to get in a proper fart joke, and we’ve never done it.” Apparently, there was a whole fart symphony planned right in the middle of Barbie. Gerwig found it hilarious, but alas, not everyone shared her sentiment. She blamed the tonal differences of her previous films, Lady Bird and Little Women, for the decision to cut it, emphasizing the need to balance humor without compromising pacing.
Well better luck next time!
Oh, that’s sad, cause a Fart Opera would be definitiv a main reason to watch the movie!
