This new docuseries is on prime and it talks about the rise and downfall of Lisa Frank. Now if you are like me, the 90's was the greatest! (No cap) But when it came to Lisa Frank products. Everyyy, I mean every girl had something from that line. From the stickers, to the trapper keepers, pencils and everything else in between. Just the psychedelic illustrations that would draw your attention each time you walk down the school aisle. You instantly knew it was Lisa Frank.
Now you guys know I love me a goood documentary. This one here I'm not trying to ruin anyone's childhood memory of what the Lisa Frank brand exhibited to them. But facts or facts and although Lisa Frank is in fact a real person, and not a pseudonym for something else. She was not the creator of her brand. Her ex husband James Green was the mastermind behind the logo and drawings and ultimately the one who ran the company after she had kids and stayed home to care for them. With the help of an amazing set of graphic designers, illustrators and other behind the scenes people. Lisa Frank started a business that ultimately seemed very uplifting and inspiring to those around her. Appealing to the young childhood of girls who loved everything bright, and colorful.
But with every business comes disappointments. And not everything is rainbows and unicorns. As you get farther in this docuseries you get several different accounts from everyone who worked for Lisa Frank and those who tried to rebuild her up. There is a lot of greed, defamation and legal issues. This documentary like any other was an absolute eye opener to something so nostalgic. If you want something interesting to watch.
