Polly Pocket is getting a movie - and our younger selves are screaming!

The 90s toy brand is being made into a live-action film, with Lena Dunham set to write and direct, while Lily Collins will star as Polly.

The heartwarming story will follow a young girl and pocket-sized Polly, and their adorable friendship.

Lena said: "Polly Pocket was responsible for countless hours of childhood escapism for me - Polly gave me a tiny world of magic and autonomy to narrate, so it's pretty poetic to be tackling these same ideas now as a director collaborating with the brilliant Lily Collins, Robbie Brenner, Mattel and MGM.

"I'm so thrilled to bring to bear both my love of this historic property and also my deep-seated belief that young women need smart playful films that speak to them without condescension."

Meanwhile Emily in Paris star Lily added: "I'm so excited to partner with this inspiring powerhouse of a team. Developing this project with Robbie, Lena, Mattel and MGM to reintroduce Polly in a fun, modern way has been such a treat.

"As a child who was obsessed with Polly Pocket, this is a real dream come true and I can't wait to bring these tiny toys to the big screen."

The Mattel Films project will be led by Robbie Brenner and Kevin McKeon meanwhile Moya-Smith and Winnie Carrillo will oversee for MGM. Liz Watson and Michael P. Cohen will serve as executive producers.

Brenner said: "Polly Pocket is an iconic franchise that has resonated with children for more than three decades.

"The incredible nostalgia that Polly evokes, coupled with Lena's fresh approach and Lily's take on the character, will introduce an entirely new interpretation of this classic brand to audiences. We look forward to working with MGM to produce a feature film that will appeal to the whole family."

It's not clear when production on the movie will begin - or who else will be cast in the film - but we'll let you know as soon as we hear more!
