The music box that Barbie rides represents a childhood family-house style memory. Yet,  Barbie dances on it in a grown-up way. The cellophane represents the toy’s gift wrap and  Barbie’s veil. People always critique how the younger generation has changed so much; that we live our lives passionately without caring about the old virtues. But living our best life doesn’t mean we forget the old, in fact our behavior is based on our own understand of the old culture. Barbie can only dance by holding the music box, like we are going to gain the good value from old culture to make a brighter future.
