"The movie is worse than you could possibly expect," Baehr told CBN's Faithwire after screening it. "It's hardcore propaganda ... 'Barbie' just is terrible."

The leading Christian film critic said the movie opens with a scene featuring girls playing with baby dolls and the children "bash them and slap them" and proclaim something along the lines of, "We don't have to be mothers anymore."

Baehr said "Barbie" is "hardcore feminist" and paints men as the "problem" in society.

"Barbie has to leave because she's not adapting to ... this hate of the patriarchal society, although she hates Ken," he said. "Men are the villains and ... there are a couple of trans people playing characters —Barbies."

He said the latter issue carries with it a message that's damaging to young girls, calling it "an attack on women" and men alike. Watch Baehr explain why:

"You're saying to those little girls who go to see this movie that some little boy can be a better girl than that little girl," he said. "It's an attack on men."

As for the LGBTQ themes in the movie, Baehr said they are "extremely overt" and "not subtle."

The Movieguide founder's interview with CBN's Faithwire came after his organization posted a pointed warning to parents, urging them to skip the "Barbie" movie altogether... Subscribe for free to Breaking Christian News here
