2. So That Is What Was Missing From the Barbie Movie

First introduced in England during the 13th century, stagecoaches became the way to travel long distances. It stayed in use for centuries after, though with the 1830s invention of the railway, its use slowly began to dwindle.

It was all but gone by the 1900s but lasted in more remote parts of Europe until as late as the 1960s. The very last service would stop in 1961, the same year that Barbie’s boyfriend, Ken, was introduced as a doll line. A shame, too; maybe if he’d tried employing a stagecoach in the newest Barbie movie, he could have won her heart.
