Ruth Handler got her idea from the Lilli Doll. Lilli was orginally a German cartoon character and in 1953 they made her into a doll. Ruth saw these dolls and decided to make her Barbie similar. In 1964, Mattel acquired the rights to the doll so the Lilli Doll had to stop. The Lilli Doll and the Barbie doll were very much alike.
