Thoughts on the Courtney Moore Movie Trailer.

 I watched it and it definitely looks interesting. I'd love it if American Girl made a doll stop motion full length film, especially since no movies with actual humans can be filmed right now. Doing a doll stop motion would only require the human's voice. 

I also think doing a stop motion would inspire people who watch it to get into doll stop motion. I know it's hard and time consuming but a project that takes a lot of time is great right now. 

You can watch the trailer here. 

I just hope it isn't an Amazon Prime only one and made so many people can watch it.

Thoughts on the new American Girl Historical Character: Courtney Moore.

 American Girl's newest Historical character Courtney Moore came out this week. You can purchase her online right now and you'll find her in stores later this month.

The doll sells for $110 as just the doll & book, $140 with the accessories set, or $249 if you want more of the sets (Care Bears Sleeping Bag, Care Bears Pajamas, Lunch Set, T-shirt and Tank set, Leggings set and her Cardigan).

The doll has blue eyes, sandy-blonde hair, and is the Classic? (Not sure on names yet.) Face Mold. She comes in a light blue crop top with the words Totally Cool on it over a light purple tank top, a high waisted acid washed denim skirt, hot pink leggings, white faux-leather shrunched top pointed toe boots, and a hot pink scrunchie. 


Her accessories set includes a cassette player, cassette tape that works with the boombox in the sleepover accessory set, cassette tape holder, headphones, four plastic bangle bracelets, a tube of pretend lip balm on a string, and a plastic button that says "Maureen for Mayor" to show support for her mom.

I am sure a lot of people will be enjoying the mini Pac-Man Arcade. It is currently for Pre-Order for $149.99.

Her bedroom set is a bunk bed. It sells for $225. It has pink metal rails and a printed wall at the bottom bunk. There's shelves on the side and a place to hang clothes too. It has rainbow pillows and comforters for both bunks, and a Pac Man Pillow. It also includes some smaller accessories such as a potted plant, a telephone, books, book-ends, a diary, a calendar and a set of stickers of music and movie posters to decorate it.

The release came with two adorable Care Bears sets: Pajamas and a Sleeping bag.

The pajama set $28 is a Care Bears Nightie, A matching light blue scrunchie and light blue fuzzy socks. 

The Sleeping bag set $36 includes a Care Bears Sleeping Bag, matching pillow and a mini stuffed Care Bear.

There's a Sleepover Accessory set $50 that includes a working boombox (the cassette tape that comes in her acessories set works with it), four cassette tapes with cases, two cans of fruit punch with straws, a bowl of tortilla chips, a cootie catcher and a friends book.

There's also a Caboodles make-up & hair accessories set $36. It includes a Caboodles makeup case, pretend hair spray can, white hair pick, blue and pink scrunchies, green plastic banana hairclip, pink lace bow, pretend make-up compact and brush, and four sheets of nail stickers.

Two school themed sets came along as well. A Lunch Set and School Supplies Set 

The School Supplies Set $30 looks like it's definitely inspired by Lisa Frank. It includes a binder, two folders, 20 sheets of lined paper, puffy stickers, pink pencil box, three pencils and three erasers shaped like a cat, a dog and a rhino.

The Lunch Set $25 includes a Pac Man Lunchbox and matching insulated container, a bologna and cheese sandwich cut in two, apple slices, a container of cheese puffs and a brownie with sprinkles.

The item that I think everyone is the most excited about is the mini Pleasant Company Molly Doll.

The Pleasant Company Doll $30 includes a mini Molly McIntire doll in a Pleasant Company box, a mini Pleasant Company Christmas catalog, and a mini Meet Molly book.


Courtney's other clothes come in Mix and Match; each piece sold separately. The options are:

An acid washed Denim Jacket $18 

Hot Pink Cropped Jacket $12

Colorful Patterned Cardigan $18

A Splatter Print Dress $18

Tropical Patterned Shirt and Purple Tie $16

80s Graphic T-shirt  and Green Tank Top $16

Acid Washed Jeans $16

Purple Lace and Light Blue Leggings $16

Purple Skirt and Hot Pink Suspenders $16

White High Top Sneakers with hot pink laces $16

Hot Pink Flats and Light Blue Socks $12

A colorful Belt Bag and Watch $16

Hot Pink Sunglasses $10

Fashion Accessories $16 includes a hot pink lace bow headband, two sets of earrings (pink and green posts with green triangle dangles and pink star dangles), a green scrunchie and purple lace fingerless gloves.


I would really like to purchase the Care Bears pajamas and sleeping bag, and some of her mix and match clothes. And maybe the miniature Molly doll. Only time will tell.

I hope to DIY some of the stuff though so stay tuned!
