I have a vague memory of a big brother putting his little sister's doll in the dryer....I can't remember all of the movie. Just that the doll was alive (?) I think?? She was highly upset...I thought it was Rainbow Brite but it isn't a cartoon, it's a real person kind of movie. It's older also, maybe 80s, early 90s. Thanks in advance for any and all help!
It's not this one, but your description reminded me of Living Doll from The Twilight Zone series: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Living_Doll_(The_Twilight_Zone) (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Living_Doll_(The_Twilight_Zone))
Could be the Hugga Bunch movie.
