Barbie Movie Banned in Vietnam and Philippines Over Controversial Map

Warner Bros. has responded to the controversy surrounding the Barbie movie's banned map in Vietnam, stating that the "child-like" doodle was not intended to make any political statement. The map, which some interpreted as depicting the disputed "nine-dash line," actually represents Barbie's fictional journey from Barbie Land to the real world. The movie, starring Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling, explores Barbie's experiences living among humans and carries a 12A age rating for strong language, moderate innuendo, and dangerous behavior.
