Philippines to let 'Barbie' movie into theaters, but wants lines blurred on a 'child-like' map

After"meticulous" scrutiny of the film, Philippine censors were convinced that the"cartoonish map" did not depict the nine-dash line.

Actor Margot Robbie is photographed during a photocall for the upcoming Warner Bros film"Barbie" in Los Angeles, June 25, 2023."Rest assured that the Board has exhausted all possible resources in arriving at this decision as we have not hesitated in the past to sanction filmmakers/ producers/ distributors for exhibiting the fictitious 'nine-dash line' in their materials.

Dashed lines drawn in a"child-like manner" appeared in several locations on the map around land masses identified as Europe, North America, South America, Africa and Asia, the censors said. But it found only eight dashes around the landmass labelled"Asia." "This is in stark contrast to the maps found in the banned films 'Abominable ' and 'Uncharted '," it said.
