Sally
Sally is a rag doll stitched together by a scientist who considers her his property, and the film is unusually direct about it — she spends the story escaping, repeatedly, by poisoning him and climbing out of a window, and reassembling herself afterwards when she comes apart. That the escapes are played lightly does not change what they are.

Who is Sally?
Sally is a rag doll stitched together by a scientist who considers her his property, and the film is unusually direct about it — she spends the story escaping, repeatedly, by poisoning him and climbing out of a window, and reassembling herself afterwards when she comes apart. That the escapes are played lightly does not change what they are. She is also the only character in the film who is right about anything: she predicts the disaster from the first act and is ignored throughout, which makes her the Cassandra of a Christmas musical. The animation is stop-motion, which means every expression was posed by hand a frame at a time, and her replaceable head system alone required hundreds of individually sculpted faces.

The most quietly serious character in a family musical, and part of the most commercially enduring stop-motion film ever made — a picture that now sells more merchandise annually than it took at the box office.
What Sally looks like on a shirt
Signature motif: A patchwork rag doll with visible stitching and long red hair
The patchwork dress is a pattern rather than a badge, which supports all-over and panelled treatments. Sage green skin with red hair is a distinctive pairing and unlike anything else in the Disney catalogue; the visible stitching reads as texture at any size.
