The story so far
Everything you need before watchingBarbie reaches Mattel, the mothership. Executives pour mineral water and say they have been anxious for quality face-time. The real ask is that she climb into a giant box and return to Barbie Land. Ken does not count. She asks for the woman in charge; CEO, CFO, and COO all raise their hands. They insist the company is made of women, then a box smell sparks a Proustian flashback they immediately turn into a sales joke.
