Finding This Item
Even though Grace’s plaque is only seen a few times in the film and it’s quite small when it does show up on screen, it was pretty clear that the larger figure in the image was a koala bear. Combined with the fact that the design somewhat resembles the original Shirt Tales characters and it screamed “‘70s and ‘80s Hallmark” when looking at it, I did a quick Google search for “Hallmark Koala.” And there it was.
