The movie was earlier banned in Vietnam due to a feature over a map of the South China Sea, according to several reports, the Philippines is also considering banning the Warner Bros. film for the same reason.

Earlier this week, it was announced that Airbnb is hosting stays for Barbie fans at a newly renovated Malibu DreamHouse which features signature pink touches throughout the home and was redesigned to feature Ken’s personal style and interests.
