If you thought Barbie was only good for a killer closet, unrealistic body standards, and playing wifey to Ken, you’ve got to watch the doll’s new commercial. Turns out, Barbie might just be the feminist icon little girls need.
We all joke about how Barbie’s jobs range from veterinarian to workout class instructor to teacher, but Mattel wants to show that Barbie’s limitless possibilities encourage girls to be whatever they want. Their new commercial, titled “Imagine the Possibilities,” show young ladies coaching a men’s soccer team, giving a lecture to college students, and a busy businesswoman.
Maybe they’re just playing now, but Barbie could be the inspiration for their future.
Watch the adorable commercial below.
