I still haven’t seen the Barbie movie. (I hear it’s great!)
But I do want to note that Tony Isabella wrote this before the movie came out. So, if the film has a similar joke, it’s copying Tony. Not the other way around.
And, Hollywood, we’re okay with that. Really. But if you want to send
Tony, colorist
Diego Jourdan Pereira (and me) some
barrels of movie money, we are even
more okay with that!
