Relationships. He and Barbie are shown to be friends, however, Ryan makes it apparent that he loves her and wants to be more then friends. He and Ken are enemies, always trying to win over barbie. Ryan never being able to win her over because ken and barbie are already dating.
The fact is that Ken is, ultimately, not simply the villain of the film. He's also the damsel in distress. Look at his miserable life in Barbieland when we meet him: he has no Dream House to call his own – where the Kens live is unclear – and seems to spend all his time on tenterhooks waiting for Barbie to notice him.
All of Ken's villainous deeds are strictly either out of his idiocy or out of his insecurity, feeling that he didn't have a proper role in Barbieland. He even openly admits at the end of the movie that he didn't like ruling a patriarchy at all, and felt that he could never express his true feelings to anyone.
Barbie, the famous fashion doll, felt that this night was special. And then it happened: she met Ken and somehow she knew that and Ken and her would be going together. So now Mattel brings you Ken, Barbie's boyfriend.”
Ken and Barbie met in 1961 while filming their first commercial together, according to Mattel. It was love at first sight and the two, who both hail from the (fictional) town of Willows, Wisconsin, started going steady. But, in the 2000s, things got a little more complicated for the couple.
Technically, Ken has no official age (he is a doll, after all) although he was first introduced as Barbie's boyfriend on March 11, 1961, which means he has been around for 62 years. (Barbie was created in 1959, which would make her 64.)
Barbie's full name is Barbara Millicent Roberts and her parents' names are given as George and Margaret Roberts from the fictional town of Willows, Wisconsin, in a series of novels published by Random House in the 1960s.
Fans had no way of knowing that Barbie had an even more adult side: She was closely related to a German novelty toy. Barbie had a sister—Bild-Lilli, a racy doll marketed to men.
He works as a lifeguard along with his friends at Oceans Extreme. He likes surfing and has taught Skipper how to surf. He had a crush on Harriet and wanted to ask her out for school dance, but was too afraid to ask. He has a crush on Barbie but doesn't have the nerves to tell her.
Barbie and Ken are one of pop culture's most famous couples. But the plastic dolls were named after real people, and they weren't a couple – they were siblings. Ruth Handler's children resented the dolls named after them and didn't buy any for their own children.
Ken and Barbie were never officially engaged or married. I'm not sure if it was a matter of feminist influence, but I'm more certain it was to encourage creativity in play.
In February 2004, Mattel announced a split for Ken and Barbie, with Russell Arons, vice president of marketing at Mattel, saying that Barbie and Ken "feel it's time to spend some quality time – apart...
Barbie broke up with Ken on Valentine's Day in 2004. To impress Barbie, Ken got a makeover from stylist Phillip Bloch in 2006. Barbie and Ken got back together in 2011. In 2010, Ken starred in Toy Story 3.
“Pregnant Barbie” is actually Margaret Hadley Sherwood, or Midge, as her friends call her. Midge was created to be a less glam, more relatable Barbie, per Buzzfeed News. The doll was launched in 1963 as Barbie's bestie. She had freckles and red hair, and she wore less makeup than Barbie did.
And while the two are boyfriend and girlfriend in the movie, Barbie doesn't seem to feel the same way for Ken as he does for her. Warner Bros. This could be explained by the fact that Barbie and Ken are dolls, and they don't really have a "sexual" attraction to each other.
“Estoy orgullosa de ti,” he says, attempting to tell Barbie he is proud of her. He adds, “Sí se puede,” which doubles as a reference to Ferrera's 2002 Disney Channel movie, “Gotta Kick It Up!”
