What is the plot of the movie “Barney”?
Kevin McKeonthe vice president of Mattel Films, said the new yorker in July 2023 that the film will be “surreal” – and not intended for children.
“We’re leaning into the millennial angst of ownership rather than tweaking it for the kids. It really is a grown-up play,” he explained. “Not that it’s rated R, but it will focus on some of the trials and tribulations of being 30, growing up with Barney – just the level of disenchantment within the generation.”
McKeon added that the film will have “A24-like” vibes, referring to the independent entertainment company that produces shows like Euphoria and movies including Everything everywhere all at once, mid summer and more.
