One can expect that this won’t be your typical take on the doll’s story.
No, if it's anything like the first script, we can expect that it'll be some passive-aggressively snarky female-humor hipster "revenge" deconstruction, like the "Life in the Dream House" series--
And then the second attempt was going to be a faithful marketing-friendly version, and then they're going back to...?

I've only seen a few episodes of "Barbie: Life in the Dreamhouse" and it was surprisingly enjoyable. So self-aware and hilarious! If they do something in the spirit of that show, I think this could be quite good.

Will Ferrell joins the cast. Plot twist, the whole film is the sister of Finn from The Lego Movie playing with her Barbies and Will is playing their dad again! ;)

Unfortunately, it is:
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1517268/
A doll living in 'Barbieland' is expelled for not being perfect enough and sets off on an adventure in the real world.
Given the cast and director, some are...not surprised. :?

Well, let's give it at least one benefit of the doubt here:
The original Disney Channel "Life-Size" could have worked, if they hadn't decided to ruin the joke by casting Tyra Banks...The HECK??

ABC, not Disney Channel.

So much pink, but pretty spot-on! ;)

That's how she should look for the first ten minutes.

For the rest of the movie, her hair should look like this:
