If there's one cinematic genre that will surely never tire, it's movies based on dolls. With such classics as Barbie and Rapunzel, Bratz: The Movie, Glitz 'N' Glamour with the Bratz, and Child's Play, what was once a niche market has really come into its own as a powerhouse of film. There's an undeniable magic to seeing an inanimate (but beautiful) hunk of plastic come to life, which may account for the continued childhood popularity of 'shrooms.

According to Variety, the next doll line to find its way to the theaters will be American Girl, a joint venture between HBO, New Line Cinema, and little girls. The picture will focus on the doll Kit Kittredge, a 9-year-old girl enduring hardships during the Great Depression, which we all know is the third favorite subject of young girls, coming in just after the Holocaust and gang rape. This should be a fun one.
