Julia Roberts gets rights to "The Girl"

I'm sure if you have a young daughter than you've already heard of the "American Girl" collection and may have even seen the first movie on television. However, now you can get a chance to see it on the big screen. Can you picture how excited your daughter is going to be?

Six years ago three woman got the rights to The American Girl and created the first movie, "Samantha: An American Girl Holiday," next came "Felicity: An American Girl Adventure" and finally, "Molly: An American Girl on the Home Front." Want to know who these three fabulous women were that had the vision to bring the dolls to the movies? Julia Roberts, Lisa Gillan and Elaine Goldsmith-Thomas.

Kitt will be the first American Girl to make it to the big screen. Her story revolves around the Great Depression and learning all about her lesson in "Waste not-want not." I'm sure it'll teach our children about being happy with what they have because there is someone out there that has less than they do. A very valuable lesson.

For over 20 years American Girls have come to life in books, now we'll all get to enjoy them right in front of us and watch their lives unfold. American Girl has teamed up with Walden Media to create this first movie on the big screen and I know I'll be one of the first ones in line. Will you?
