    Before the Cabbage Patch Kids, no one could have imagined a world where police would need to break up fights between rampaging adults in toy stores. “Billion Dollar Babies: The True Story of the Cabbage Patch Kids” is the story you never knew about the dolls that stole America’s heart —and turned us all into total maniacs.

    Sedona News – The Sedona International Film Festival is proud to present the Northern Arizona theatrical premiere of “Billion Dollar Babies: The True Story of the Cabbage Patch Kids” showing Dec. 23-28 at the Mary D. Fisher Theatre.

    “Billion Dollar Babies” premiered at the 2022 Sedona International Film Festival where it received rave audience reviews and high ratings.

    Before the Cabbage Patch Kids, no one could have imagined a world where police would need to break up fights between rampaging adults in toy stores. But after the Cabbage Patch Kids, every manufacturer in the world was desperate for their own “riot-worthy” toy. Everything had changed, and we were never going back.

    “Billion Dollar Babies: The True Story of the Cabbage Patch Kids” is the evolution of that change, told through the lens of what is arguably the most beloved toy of the 1980s. It’s one filled with doll hospitals with delightfully attentive staff tending to every need of the “babies” birthed from a cabbage patch before their adoptions, dangerous counterfeit dolls and intense U.S. Customs raids, inevitable black-market sales, a glut of spin-off products, severe doll shortages and a rabid media frenzy that gave rise to a BILLION-dollar toy brand unlike anything the world had ever seen.

    Oh, and did we mention the “custody battle” over the origin of the idea? An unassuming and relatively unknown artist from rural Kentucky filed suit claiming she was the true creator of the dolls, setting off a contentious four-year legal battle over the Kids.

    This is the story you never knew about the dolls that stole America’s heart —and turned us all into total maniacs.

    “Billion Dollar Babies: The True Story of the Cabbage Patch Kids” will be shown at the Mary D. Fisher Theatre Dec. 23-28. Showtimes will be Saturday and Tuesday, Dec. 23 and 26 at 7:00 p.m.; and Wednesday and Thursday, Dec. 27 and 28 at 4:00 p.m.

    Tickets are $12, or $9 for Film Festival members. For tickets and more information, please call 928-282-1177. Both the theatre and film festival office are located at 2030 W. Hwy. 89A, in West Sedona. For more information, visit: www.SedonaFilmFestival.org.

    If I Were Curtis Sliwa
    By Tommy Acosta

    One of my guilty little pleasures is imagining what I would do if I was in someone else’s shoes, especially politicians. In this essay I would love to jump into the shoes of Curtis Sliwa, a former New York City vigilante who founded the Guardian Angels and is now running as a Republican for mayor of his city.
