Astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson figured out the exact location of Barbie Land.In Barbie, it is suggested that Barbie Land, the home of all the Barbies, Kens, and of course, Allan, is located somewhere on Earth. While Will Ferrell’s character tells someone to think of Barbie Land as a “town in Switzerland” at one point, its exact location is never revealed. However, Tyson studied the film to pinpoint exactly where Barbie Land would be located on the planet. Taking to X, Tyson wrote, “In [Barbie], the Moon’s orientation places Barbie World between 20 & 40 deg North Latitude on Earth. Palm trees further constrain latitude between 20 & 30 deg. The Sun & Moon rose & set over the ocean. If it’s in the US, Barbie World lands somewhere in the Florida Keys.”In the film, Barbie Land is completely removed from society, so Tyson’s suggestion that it is located on an island in the Florida Keys would make a lot of sense. When brainstorming how she wanted to present Barbie Land in the film, director Greta Gerwig revealed she turned to Peter Weir, who directed the 1998 film The Truman Show. In the Jim Carrey-led movie, Truman Burbank (Carrey) is raised on a massive television set which he believes to be the real world. It is not until he is well into adulthood that he begins to realize everything is not as it seems, and attempts to escape. “He was so generous getting on the phone with me,” Gerwig said of her conversation with Weir. “I had this idea of making Barbie Land basically an interior soundstage world. That was the concept.”RELATED: Barbie Movie Gets a Streaming Release Window From Warner Bros. Boss
