This is the text (if you need help).

"Barbie" is the biggest film of the year. It broke the box office record for the most money made by a non-superhero movie. It also made the most money for a movie directed by a woman. There will be sequels to the movie, so fans should get ready for "Barbie 2" and "Barbie 3". There may also be a movie about Barbie's friend Ken.

Barbie started as a fashion doll. She was made by businesswoman Ruth Handler in 1959. It is one of the best-selling toys ever made. It has sold over a billion dolls worldwide. Barbie has been in video games and TV series. In the movie, Barbie leaves her world of Barbieland to live in the human world.
