E.T. the Extraterrestrial - Ill Be Right Here Mini Backpack [OE]

From Steven Spielbeg’s touching 1982 film, E.T. the Extra Terrestrial, comes the inspiration for Loungefly’s newest collection!

The film tells the story of Elliot, a boy who befriends an extraterrestrial dubbed E.T., who is stranded on Earth. Along with his friends and family, Elliot must find a way to help E.T. return home while avoiding the government. During the film, Elliot’s younger sister, Gertie, gifts E.T. with a flower pot of wilted geraniums, which the extraterrestrial brings back to life. These geraniums are actually a key part of the film and seem to be connected to E.T.’s health, and ultimately symbolise life and ressurrection.

In the emotional closing scene of the film, E.T. says his goodbyes to Elliot and his family. “I’ll be right here”, he tells Elliot in the iconic scene and gently places his lit-up finger on the boy’s forehead. The two part ways, and the pot of fully-bloomed geraniums boards the craft home along with E.T. This design celebrates that scene, from the efforts to deliver E.T. to his spaceship to the beautiful forest in which it lands. Front and center, held by E.T., is the pot of geraniums. He’s gesturing towards you with his finger, which along with the moon actually glows in the dark!
