'A Wrinkle In Time' Barbies exist and we're sobbing tears of joy
Your Barbie dolls are about to become warriors.
The fierce and stunning celestial beings from Disney's A Wrinkle in Time — based on Madeleine L’Engle's science fantasy novel —just got transformed into the three coolest Barbies you've ever seen, and my gosh we are all so blessed.
The film's director, Ava DuVernay, shared a photo of the dolls on Twitter, inspired by the characters Mrs. Which, Mrs. Whatsit, and Mrs. Who.
The characters are portrayed by IRL heroes Oprah Winfrey, Reese Witherspoon, and Mindy Kaling ... so basically they're all Barbies now.
First, please just take a moment to look at how stunning these dolls are.
Are you screaming? Okay, good. Same.
DuVernay excitedly shared the photo of the stylish dolls, emotionally noting how she never had such a diverse representation of powerful women present in her Barbies as a child.
"When Disney makes Barbies of your movie’s characters and you just want to stare at them all day in disbelief because you loved Barbies as a girl but never had any like these," she captioned the photo.

Mindy Kaling also tweeted some praised hands emoji to show her love for the dolls, and fans were equally stunned at their brilliance, agreeing dolls this diverse and empowering were long overdue.

Aside from the excitement surrounding their characters being turned into dolls, the fact that Winfrey, Witherspoon, and Kaling are represented as Barbies is also extraordinarily noteworthy.
All three women have been prominent voices for women's rights in the past few months, and joined forces to help create and enforce Time's Up — a movement launched by over 300 women in the entertainment industry to battle sexual harassment across all industries.
The dolls are available for $50.00 each on barbie.mattell.com and A Wrinkle in Time opens in theaters Mar. 9, 2018.
