Barbie 2; ‘I Need Your Help’
*preliminary*
Place: ‘Bad’ Barbie’s Corporate Office at Mattel HQ in Barbie-land
Flashing the color green inside as it makes noise, the translucent plastic hot-line “Red” desk phone beeps three times
‘Bad’ Barbie’: [picks up the phone]: Yes?
Real World Mattel CEO [Allen]: Turn on your two-way secure scrambler
Bad Barbie turns her crypto-key; phone’s color turns from green to red
Bad Barbie: We're synced and secure; go ahead Allen..
Allen: Barbie, we have a serious situation here in El Segundo – and can I really use your help – again…
Bad Barbie: I’m on my way; Barbie ‘out’…
Barbie hangs up the red phone, and now picks up her white phone
Sully: [VO] Flight Operations; Sully Speaking…
Bad Barbie: Sully, prepare the B 2 ‘bomber’ for immediate departure…
Sully: [he talks to the flight crew] We’ll be ready; Where do you need to go?
Bad Barbie: I have urgent business in the ‘real’ world.
Sully: I will pre-charge the B 2’s trans-dimensional flux capacitors, so there’s no delay in your departure.
Bad Barbie: Great; thanks, Sully.

IDF Barbie [if possible, played by Gal Gadot]; she points the co-pilot seat…
Bad Barbie: [confused - and sort of upset] [IDF] Barbie… Co-pilot ???
IDF Barbie: Don’t blame me, Barbie. You made the rule to require current certification for controlling all ships during warp drive travel to the real world… [points] You’re free to pilot our aircraft for take offs and landings…
Bad Barbie: Fine… [puts her headset on; twin engine start; taxi out of hanger; holds at end of taxiway]
Bad Barbie: Tower; this is the B 2 ‘spirit’; I’m holding at the end of the taxiway connecting to runway 51-Right; we are awaiting your clearance for take-off.

Hasbro Reveals Plans to Cut 1,100 Employees, Close office in Providence, Rhode Island (12/11/2023):
The toy titan continues facing off against a challenging retail environment by pulling the one lever that no company wants to.
Toy giant Hasbro says it will reduce its workforce by another 1,100, according to a memo seen by The Wall Street Journal. The maker of Monopoly and Play-Doh had already laid off 800 workers earlier this year. The latest staff reduction, announced Monday, is being blamed on poor sales throughout the year, including the all-important start of the holiday rush. Generally, half of toy companies’ annual sales happen in the weeks leading up to Christmas, but the industry saw a 10% sales slump in November, compared to a year earlier, and Hasbro is expecting up to a 15% slide...
My Comment:
In my Barbie 2 movie, Hasbro is losing the 'war' with Mattel in the "real" world (see above news post), so Hasbro attacks "Barbieland" in the toy world.
Barbie CEO, Allen Dulles, is sort of necessarily greedy, so he will not send arms or money so the citizens of Barbieland can fight off the invaders.
Hasbro CEO, Chris Craft, is also doing what he feels he must do to save his Company.
Both CEO's are not 100% "bad" or "evil"; they are doing - or avoiding to do - what is in their best interest.
