American Girl movies
I purchased this DVD set for my daughters, who are new American Girl doll owners. They are reading the book series rather quickly, so I thought this would be a nice surprise for them. What a great decision! All three movies are excellent, wholesome family movies. They are scripted well in that the movies tell a great story without resorting to the same sappy drama of so many "family" movies. Additionally, all three movies were cast extremely well. The appearances of well-known individuals such as Mia Farrow, John Schneider and even Molly Ringwald (in one of her finest roles, as Molly's mother) were a welcome surprise, and only added to the movies' quality. The characters are quite believable, and the portrayal of various time periods are accurate. It was very interesting for my girls to see not only how families of each time period lived and what type of clothing they wore, but also how the different characters conducted themselves in various situations, such as when dealing with parents, adult community members, peers, etc. The difference in the behavior of the three "mother figures" (Felicity's mother, Samantha's aunt, and Molly's mother) was especially interesting in that each one displayed the socially acceptable behavior appropriate for women of the time. My girls and I have had several discussions on what it meant to be "proper" during each time period, and I feel that they have benefitted educationally from these observations. Our whole family, including several generations, has enjoyed these movies repeatedly in the weeks that we've had them. My girls have enjoyed re-reading the books that the movies are based on, and are driven to read more and learn more about these generations. The movies have encouraged them to learn more about these periods of time much better than paragraphs in a textbook ever could! I highly recommend them!
