The American Girl brand loves the idea of "story." For each little girl and her doll there is a bond that's formed and a story that's written. Our goal was to tell just a few of these stories through the combination of photography and animation. As we navigate this scrapbook full of snapshots and doodles, we catch a glimpse of each girl's unique relationship to her American Girl doll.
