    The dolls that are creepy but not super creepy. If you liked Coraline, then you'll like these dolls. Button eyes but not made from cloth. LalaLoopsy had a weird shift and stranger iterations. Let's break down what happened to them and where they are now.

    Caroline was always for children. The publisher asked Neil Gaiman if it was because she thought it was too scary. He told her to read it to her daughter and the next day she said 'oh my daughter loved the book. She wouldn't let me put it down.'
    10 years later Neil met that daughter at an event or something and thanked her for Saving Coraline, she said 'oh I was terrified out of my ass but I had to know what happened next'

    Honestly the clothes thing is debatable. A lot of the dolls ARE named after what they are sewn from. Like Candle Slice O' Cake is sewn from a piece of cake, and Storm E. Cloud is sewn from wisps of a rain cloud. Some don't have that like Jewel Sparkles is sewn from a real princess dress. So her name isn't, well, Princess Dress. And Mittens Fluff N Stuff is sewn from a scarf and not mittens. For some reason.

      in my opinion, it wasn't uncommon for doll brands to base dolls on irl cultures/ethnicities back then. the problem with dolls like Mango, Yuki, Feather, & Sahara from lalaloopsy is simply the fact that they are heavily stereotyped. the names and in some cases the designs are stereotypes of their respective cultures/ethnicities. ofc this wasn't done maliciously, and these dolls are still some of my favorites to this day! but it's important to acknowledge how designing dolls/characters like this in the future, could be harmful, and isn't the best way to represent those people irl. 🫶

    OMG I was a Lalaloopsy SUPERFAN as a kid! I loved their designs and the textures of the dolls--They tapped into my love of hand-sewing/arts and crafts and greatly foreshadowed me liking Coraline/Del Toro's Pinocchio when I grew up. My favorites were the minis because they made really good fidget toys for my tiny neurodivergent hands. My favorite doll was Bee Spells-a-Lot because she had blue eyes when every other doll had black ones, so I thought she was special. My older brother would always make fun of me and call them "creepy voodoo dolls" lol. The first movie was my favorite thing when I was little, and I played the two DS games all the time much to his annoyance. ('pIcK mE I cAn HeLp" XD)

    i was literally obsessed with Lalaloopsy and so was my mum. we were better off financially when I was younger, so I had a fair number of big dolls, littles and LIKE EVERY MINI. just a stupid number of minis (i had the tree house :3). it was unfortunate that the series didn't take off until later cause i was just a little too old for the demographic they were appealing to. I wish they committed to the high school fashion doll thing so the content could have aged with me :/. still super love them though

    Holy cow. I never made the connection these things were based on a horror concept. I do remember these dolls. Even as a kid I thought they were scary. Once in school we got a creative writing assignment, and I wrote a horror story about them kidnapping people and transforming their victims into new Lalaloopsies. A dad lost his wife and daughter until he found them as Lalaloopsies in the toy store. I'm not kidding.

But not in the American Girl Uncanny Valley way, but like in the "if I put a little paint on this it can absolutely blend in with my Halloween décor" kind of creepy.

    I'm an odd fan for sure. I'm a man who saw the original Lalaloopsy show when I was 18 for the first time and absolutely loved how well-written it was. Forest Evergreen in particular stood out to me, as he's a super positive character who I've seen endure more suffering than most other cartoon characters and still kept his cool. I officially started watching it regularly about 2 years ago, but now Forest is one of my favorite cartoon characters of all time.

    If i do recall, there were multiple mini movies about Lalaloopsy, one where they had that highschool design, the lala-oopsies had a movie about a story book and the depletion of the strawberry milk ocean, the ponies had a movie about peanut, the circus one, having a penpal, and the babies had a movie where it was all a flashback where they were all talking about their family album.
    And then there was that one where they staged the cheese moon landing.

  • @jasperjazzie
    @jasperjazzie ปีที่แล้ว +4

    i agree that the highschool variation was weird and deviated too far from the original idea, i liked lalaloopsy because it was one of the few doll lines where fashion wasn't the main focus (it did play a part but the characters weren't all fashion obsessed like a lot of dolls were), and the characters were a bit younger like i was when i was into them, and then they just kinda went "what if we did the thing everyone else does?" and then yassified the ragdolls lmao
    also it's so weird they changed dot to just be the smart one who spouts big science words when they already had bea spells-a-lot for that role (i am way too invested in this lol)
    when i was younger my favorites were mittens (i'm pretty sure just because her hair was blue which was my favorite color at the time lmao) and crumbs, but now i think my favorites would be pillow (she's such a mood), spot and storm e.
    also there were two characters who were farmers named sunny side up and berry jars n jam and i think either of them could be the equivalent of applejack, and i know way too much about this doll series i haven't thought about in ages lmao

    The dolls were honestly really great, they have so many dolls and there all unique. I collect the mini ones and I have over 100. The little ones have sculpted on clothes but there so pretty, I also love the amount of details on each dolls hair like the Fruit collection where each hair resembles the fruit the dolls represents, or the jewelry collection where their outfits looks like gemstones and they have earrings, and the fairy collection where there each from a different season. It’s actually really sad because the doll community never talks about these dolls, like they talk so much about franchises like Ever After High, Monster High (before g3), Bratts, Winx Dolls, and so many other discontinued doll lines but never Lalaloopsy even though the dolls were adorable, super high quality, and their entire world building is so interesting

    I was always on the defense on them being creepy I just love the creativity they have, their names and wacky designs/names are so fun which got me so hooked to this doll franchise
    Even though I stopped collecting them in 2015 I went into old unopened boxes not too long ago and decided to fix and display the tall dolls I could find (I have many just can’t find them)…inside my closet though cus I get embarrassed of the idea of people I know irl seeing them in my room
