Rabbit, the Toy Story franchise, even The Dollhouse Murders,
if you want to go a darker route. In this series, Much Loved, by
Mark Nixon, teddy bears are the main characters. Nixon took
photographs of old and much loved bears and collected the
stories behind them. Have a look at the photos and anecdotes
and walk down memory lane with your own teddies or polly
pockets or gigapets, and so on.
You become. It takes a long time. That's why it doesn't happen
often to people who break easily, or have sharp edges, or who
have to be carefully kept. Generally, by the time you are Real,
most of your hair has been loved off, and your eyes drop out and
you get loose in the joints and very shabby. But these things don't
matter at all, because once you are Real you can't be ugly, except
to people who don't understand.
- Margery Williams, The Velveteen Rabbit
