Robbie Brenner, President of Mattel Films, said: “American Girl
is a beloved franchise, rich in history and storytelling with
millions of devoted fans. Through dolls, books, live experiences,
and television movies, the brand has captured hearts for decades.
We are excited to continue Mattel Films’ momentum and collaborate
with Paramount Pictures, Temple Hill Entertainment, and Lindsey
Anderson Beer to bring American Girl to life on the big
screen.”
Daria Cercek, Co-President, Paramount Pictures Motion Picture
Group, said: “We’re thrilled to be partnering with Mattel Films,
our friends at Temple Hill, and the incredibly talented Lindsey
Anderson Beer to bring American Girl—one of the most iconic doll
brands ever—to moviegoers everywhere.”
Added Anderson Beer: “Growing up, my sister and I were American
Girl girls. I had Kirsten, and she had Molly. They didn't feel like
dolls to play with, rather real people whose worlds we got to
imagine ourselves in. They are historically accurate toys and
accessories that feature elaborate and immersive backstories
uniquely suited to bring to screen. I am so excited to tell a story
that tackles the issues of girlhood in a real and compelling way,
and proud to partner with Mattel Films, Paramount Pictures, and
Temple Hill to create the American Girl movie I have wanted to see
since childhood.”
The nation’s most storied children’s brand known for its premium
dolls and bestselling books, American Girl was founded in 1986 by
Pleasant T. Rowland, a teacher-turned-entrepreneur who set out to
celebrate girlhood with beautiful dolls and adventurous books that
would nourish a child’s imagination and provide education and
entertainment. Today, the brand continues to focus on creating
authentic, culturally relevant characters and stories that help
girls grow up with courage, confidence, and strength of character
while remaining a trusted partner to parents.
American Girl is overseen by Kevin McKeon and Ivan Sanchez at
Mattel, Vanessa Joyce at Paramount Pictures, and Isaac Klausner,
Laura Quicksilver, and Annika Patton at Temple Hill. Beer is
represented by CAA, Daniel Cohan at Brillstein Entertainment
Partners, Cheryl Snow at Gang Tyre, and Shelter PR.
