can you believe animorphs is a book series about a space alien and his hawk nephew frolicking around in a forest outside [redacted] city and nothing bad ever happens
It communicates so much about Kirsten’s personality. She’s totally absorbed in her inner world, focused on her doll and the prospect of leaving her. She’s sad, she’s focused, she’s making the moment count. She holds her doll gently but firmly and addresses her like a real person. To her, leaving Sari is as serious as leaving behind a family member.
It’s just that that conveys the essential mission of Pleasant Company and American Girl. This portrays play as something far from trivial, rather as a part of childhood that is essential, precious, and eternal. This illustration treats girls and their dolls with the seriousness they are owed, and it says to us; dolls are real, dolls are family, dolls are loved.
Rhys and I just delicately took care of each other in those moments.
Throughout the shoot, we improvised little touches on each other’s shoulders, little tugging on each other’s sleeves. Some of it was even out of frame, but I do think it reads. - Taika Waititi (x)
