That THING was not Ruth Handler!

She's another soulless automaton; a rhetorical device Mattel keeps on the 17th floor, when it needs to call back to the brand's "wholesome" roots. She lives in a pocket dimension, and the movie leaves it ambiguous whether she has any more than soft power over Will Ferrell, in terms of company direction. Ghosts don't have a voice. This rosy caricature will never capture the whole of an actual historical figure, especially not when there's a monetary incentive for the film's producers.
