Barbie and Ken were created to be a couple, but it becomes clear early in the film that she has no romantic interest in him. In most traditional Barbie canon, they're unambiguously together. This may be because they are a Barbie and a Ken, not the literal characters the dolls are meant to represent.

Persecution Flip: Barbieland is a pink, saccharine world where the Barbies hold all the important positions and live in giant houses, while the Kens are second-class citizens that live solely to fawn over the Barbies and are implied to be homeless. When Stereotypical Barbie and Ken travel to the Real World, they discover a male-dominated society instead, albeit one where women still have more rights than the Kens in Barbieland do. Small wonder that the Kens decide to rebel after discovering this.

Adapted Out: Several characters from the loose canon of the toy line or Barbie: Life in the Dreamhouse (such as Barbie's dog Taffy; her friends Teresa, Nikki, and Grace; or her arch nemesis Raquelle and Raquelle's twin brother Ryan) are omitted or not named at all. It's also not the first time we see Will Ferrell as the ( ultimately misguided) Big Bad of a film based off toys. Near the end of the movie when Barbie is going through a funk about not being able to live up to the unrealistic beauty standards that she represents anymore, the narrator chimes in and notes that casting Margot Robbie for this role undercuts the message of the scene. The trailers have a heavy focus on Mattel's attempts to find Barbie once they learn she's in the Real World and to contain her, making them appear to be the film's big threat. In reality, it's Beach Ken who is, thanks to a mild case of Mistreatment-Induced Betrayal.

Delayed Reaction: One of the Barbies doesn't start freaking out with the rest of the Barbies upon witnessing Stereotypical Barbie's flat feet until she touches it.

Repetitive Name: Gloria and Sasha note that "Mojo Dojo Casa House" is entirely just different ways of saying "House." Ken retorts that it's fun to say and as such it doesn't matter. When Barbie tries to think of memories from the girl who played with her, one of the memories depicts the girl running into the arms of her mom. Said mom is drawing Barbie designs, which just so happens to be the same thing that the secretary at Mattel is doing. Said designs are also of Stereotypical Barbie, further hinting at their connection.Christopher Miller, one of the directors of The LEGO Movie, confirmed that Ferrell's potrayal of the Mattel CEO is a reprisal of The Man Upstairs from The LEGO Movie. [2] Allan and Midge are not stated to be in a romantic relationship here, despite them originally being marketed as a couple when they were first released (and even married and having children). This actually follows updated Barbie canon wherein Midge has no connection to Allan as of the early 2010s. Fisher King: An odd instance in that it's a place's state that affects something else. When Ken turns Barbieland into the Kendom, the Barbie brand suddenly becomes highly Ken oriented, with the production facilities already making Mojo Dojo Casa Houses, Ken t-shirts, mugs and tattoos, and even a a Ken movie is in production. While this causes a spike in the brand's profits, the Mattel CEO refuses to let this fly since it drains Barbie of what it meant to young girls.
