Below, learn more about the Emily the Strange movie.
Emily the Strange is an inventive goth 13-year-old girl who hangs out with her four cats — Sabbath (the troublemaker), Nee-Chee (the schemer), Miles (the creative), and the leader of the group, Mystery — and wears the same black dress every day. Her adventures range from defeating boredom to accidentally making another version of herself. Emily the Strange was created by Santa Cruz skateboarder Rob Reger in the early 1990s to help promote his clothing line, Cosmic Debris Etc. Inc.
Years after the character’s creation, Dark Horse Comics, Chronicle Comics, and HarperCollins published plenty of Emily the Strange stories. Dark Horse turned her into a comic book character in 2005, and four years later, HarperCollins published young adult novels centered around the character. Reger and Jessica Gruner co-wrote quite a few of Emily the Strange’s adventures together, which are illustrated by Buzz Parker. There have been all sorts of successful Emily-branded apparel, accessories, and even flagship stores in Hong Kong, Taipei, and Greece as well.
