Barbie producers respond to Vietnam ban over controversial map: It's a 'child-like crayon drawing'

The map used in the movie was 'not intended to make any type of statement,' a studio rep said.

The seemingly harmless map appears in the scene where Robbie’s titular character seeks advice from Kate McKinnon’s Weird Barbie for her existential crisis.

Weird Barbie says the answers lie in the “Real World” and this is where she provides Barbie with the supposedly offending map. Warner Bros said in a statement said: “The map in Barbie Land is a child-like crayon drawing. The doodles depict Barbie’s make-believe journey from Barbie Land to the ‘real world.’ It was not intended to make any type of statement.”
