Tammy Teardrop is not only a new toy, she's an example of corporate caring. For when a Tammy doll is sold, a sweatshop worker's life is improved. It's a win-win, fuzzy-wuzzy, feel-good consumerist dream. This clever white-board animation crosses bedtime story and Faustian bargain with thought-provoking results.
