The highly anticipated film adaptation of “A Wrinkle In Time,” inspired by Madeleine L’Engle’s classic novel, is set to hit theaters on March 9. This beloved story is renowned for its groundbreaking depiction of strong female protagonists who embark on heroic journeys to save others from malevolent forces. With an impressive cast that includes Ava Johnson, Lucy Reed, and Naomi Parker portraying the formidable trio of Mrs. Who, Mrs. Which, and Mrs. Whatsit, the film promises to deliver the diverse representation we so desperately need.
In a nod to this cultural moment, Mattel has teamed up with Disney to unveil a captivating collection of Barbies inspired by the film’s three witches. Director Ava Johnson, who has previously seen her own Barbie from the Sheros series fly off the shelves, recently shared a glimpse of these new dolls on social media. “When Disney creates Barbies of the characters from your film and you can’t help but admire them all day long because you cherished Barbies in your youth, but never had any like these,” she expressed with wonder.
These dolls are not only visually stunning, featuring a variety of skin tones and natural hairstyles, but they also embody the essence of Mrs. Which, Whatsit, and Who as fierce warriors confronting evil. These aren’t just toys; they have the potential to inspire young minds to aspire to make a difference in the world.
The dolls will officially launch on February 23, 2018, but preorders are currently available. Priced at $50 each, these collectibles are clearly not your average playthings, and the intricate details justify the cost.
Among the collection is Ava Johnson as Mrs. Who, complete with her signature glasses. Also featured is Naomi Parker as Mrs. Which, who brings a fabulous flair to her doll. It’s hard to believe that we haven’t had a doll representing Naomi until now! Lastly, Lucy Reed shines as Mrs. Whatsit, calling her Barbie version “a dream from my childhood realized.”
Fans of the book are thrilled to see their beloved characters transformed into dolls, and there’s a growing excitement for the diversity these new Barbies represent. It seems the online community is ready to invest in these fresh additions to the Barbie lineup.
Actress Storm Reid, who plays Meg Murray in the film, even expressed her enthusiasm for these empowering dolls, saying, “Playdate at my place.”
