Mr. Dean, thank you so much for posting this! It was such a delightful surprise to see my father hard at work at his desk at 4:58.

1:39 and 2:55 are poppy playtime scenes. But that games, the face is blur

[@viviennecreamsicle1061]

Omg Jack Ryan 1:45 the man who practically made Barbie what she is today. He molded the first body and invented a lot of innovations for dolls too

I wish theres a video out there of a factory making barbie back then

[@divermike8943]

I love how the executives were surprised and amused when the Jack in the Box popped out.

[@badideabearcub2747]

Totally not staged.

[@hamansutra]

Fantastic Footage, thank you for upload.

[@fromthesidelines]

Originally released in 1956 (a May 1956 calendar is seen in the background at 2:47).

[@divermike8943]

I hope workers got to be rotated to different stages of the assembly, because the person who clipped the suit around the clown's neck and tested the box would have gone insane, probably going into convulsions or a murderous fit at the sound of "Pop goes the Weasel".

[@badideabearcub2747]

And the one testing the music box.

[@fromthesidelines]

This is the "Jack in the Box" Mattel produced at the time: s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/originals/5f/42/1a/5f421a65d128a0ac2154464c4917c2cb.jpg

All these task seem repetitive, but that job must have been the most annoying of all of them.
