In the animated series Barbie: Life in the Dreamhouse, Ryan, Raquelle's twin brother, tries to woo Barbie and is Midge's main love interest, though he often flirts with Barbie, making him a rival to Ken; he isn't officially "dating" anyone consistently but has a mutual crush with Midge, notes the Fandom wiki and Fandom wiki.
Ryan makes his romantic interest in Barbie very clear, but Barbie it's just as clear that Barbie's not interested in him (especially since she already has a boyfriend in the form of Ken) -- however, Barbie does still care about Ryan as a friend.
Ryan is Raquelle's twin brother and struggling musician. He is in love with Barbie and often writes songs about her to impress her. He is a frenemy of Ken and will often brawl with him to win Barbie's affections.
No, Barbie dolls themselves don't have sexual orientations as they are inanimate objects, but the Barbie movie and franchise have embraced LGBTQ+ themes and representation, featuring queer actors, coding characters like Allan and certain Kens with queer energy, and including openly LGBTQ+ characters like Daisy in animated series, making the world inclusive.
Midge developed a crush on Ryan almost instantly after meeting him. She acts flustered and dorky around him, causing her to revert to using slang from the 60's. After her makeover, Ryan became interested in her.
Ken, the handsome and loyal partner, always had a special place in Barbie's heart. However, as time went on, the Barbie-Ken love story faced its fair share of challenges.
Midge's divorce was finalized during season 3. She was engaged to Benjamin but ended things when singer Shy Baldwin called to say that he wanted Midge to be his opening act on a USO tour. Oh, and when Joel visited Midge on tour, the two got drunk together and got remarried.
However, the episode quietly introduced some LGBTQ+ representation as well: Bluey's friend, a chihuahua named Pretzel, opened up about his pet guinea pig running away and casually mentioned having two moms. “My mums told me he might come back, but he didn't,” Pretzel said.
The actors explain why it didn't happen. Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling say their characters don't kiss in "Barbie" because it wouldn't have made sense logistically. The Ken actor said in a recent joint interview with the Barbie actor that kissing was in the initial plans, but didn't make the final cut.
Why is 'Barbie' rated PG-13? "Barbie" earned a PG-13 rating from the Motion Picture Association for "suggestive references" and "brief language."
There was a golden schlond poofa in Primp My Ride. The Schlond Poofa was originally going to be called the Schalldämpfer, the German word for "muffler," implying that the assembly instructions Ken reads in "Licensed to Drive" are in German.
They are:
Introduced in 1964, Allan was listed as Ken's “buddy,” but the fine print of the box reads, ”All of Ken's clothes fit him!” This led to rumours that the pair have a homosexual relationship, and although Mattel has never commented on it, the OG Allan wasn't long for this world.
He is a main character in the Barbie: Life in the Dreamhouse series. Ryan has a crush on Barbie, and therefore competes with Ken for her affection.
Chelsea is Barbie's 6 year old little sister, who later turns 7. Chelsea is a small child sized doll with blue eyes and blonde hair, like her sister Barbie. In animation, she usually has pigtails. She usually wears a graphic science t-shirt, with overalls or a tutu skirt.
Did Ryan Gosling sing in Barbie? If you had faith in The Notebook actor's singing abilities, you're correct! Ryan did, in fact, sing his heart out all around Barbie Land (or at least at a recording studio in London, Mark Ronson told Vanity Fair last summer) during "I'm Just Ken."
An array of diverse actresses, including trans actress Hari Nef, play Barbie doll characters. While the movie does not dive into transgender identity, Barbie still manages to touch upon LGBTQ+ issues without naming them as such.
The most prominent actor known for refusing on-screen kisses is Neal McDonough, who has a strict personal and contractual rule against kissing any woman other than his wife, Ruvé, leading him to be temporarily shut out by Hollywood for several years despite his devout Catholic faith and commitment to his family. Other actors like Kevin Hart and Bollywood stars have also had no-kiss policies for various personal or comfort reasons, but McDonough's case is well-documented for its impact on his career.
The two start off as good friends, but their feelings change for one another throughout the show. Several times, romantic feelings are hinted at between the two characters, until they can eventually share their first kiss in Barbie: Epic Road Trip.
Yes, Peppa Pig introduced its first same-sex couple in 2022, featuring Penny Polar Bear who lives with "my mummy and my other mummy," marking a significant step in LGBTQ+ representation for the popular children's show, following public calls for more diverse families.
Yet, some people are shocked to learn that Bluey's eponymous character is a girl. The confusion is credited partly to the Australian program's limited use of long-held gendered conventions often seen in U.S. media, including stereotypical clothing, accessories, hairstyles, and colors.
Yes, Zootopia 2 includes LGBTQ+ representation, notably featuring what some call Disney's first openly gay character, Nibbles Maplestick (voiced by openly lesbian comedian Fortune Feimster) and a confirmed gay couple, Bucky and Pronk Oryx-Antlerson, though some reports suggest the overt LGBTQ+ content has led to parental concerns about its "kid-friendly" nature.
The first was Ryan, who came as a small child in the Happy Family series. Later, she had a little girl, Nikki, named after her best friend. Later, around Nikki's first birthday, Midge was "pregnant" again with another child. The baby had no name.
Midge (Rachel Brosnahan) is in a fashionable matching arm sling because, oh yeah, she fell into the pit at The Wolfard in the last episode. I can see how this might create some obstacles, or it could be an excuse for the dressing department to show off some new fabric and their talent at styling.
The club gets raided, so they flee hand in hand out of the club and since there's a storm outside, they seek shelter at Lenny's hotel room, where they both succumb to their mutual sexual attraction for one another and they end up having sex. Midge finds Lenny's drug paraphernalia in his hotel bathroom.
