00:00 "Hey Barbie, can I come to your house tonight?"
00:04 "Sure!
00:05 I don't have anything big planned, just a giant blowout party with all the Barbies and
00:09 plant choreography and a bespoke song.
00:10 You should stop by."
00:11 "So cool."
00:12 It's Barbie mania and fans can't get enough.
00:17 So what's next following the doll's historic Hollywood debut?
00:20 We're counting down to Mattel's next big screen iteration, Polly Pocket.
00:26 Here's everything we know about the upcoming live action film, 90s Kids, this one's
00:31 for you.
00:32 First up, actress Lily Collins will be playing the lead role of Polly.
00:36 Back in June of 2021, she posted the news on her Instagram with this adorable childhood
00:41 throwback of herself with some Polly Pocket gear, writing, "As a child who was obsessed
00:47 with Polly Pockets, it's a real dream come true to announce this project.
00:52 I am partnering with the most inspiring powerhouse team, Robbie Brenner, Lena Dunham, Mattel
00:58 and MGM Studios."
01:01 And yep, that's Girls star Lena Dunham that Lily mentions as Lena will be making her way
01:06 behind the camera on the heels of Greta Gerwig's historic opening weekend.
01:13 Barbie pulled in $155 million, the largest opening weekend ever for a movie with a female
01:20 director.
01:21 Lena's also penning the Polly Pocket script and tells Variety, "Polly Pocket was responsible
01:27 for countless hours of childhood escapism for me.
01:30 Polly gave me a tiny world of magic and autonomy to narrate, so it's pretty poetic to be tackling
01:37 these same ideas now as a director."
01:40 No word yet on a release date, Polly the toy has been around since the 80s and was acquired
01:45 by Mattel in 1998.
01:48 One thing's for sure, we're ready for the life-size Polly to have her big Hollywood
01:53 moment.
