great movies for children and adults! February 5, 2010
Portland Mom
I had read reviews prior to purchasing these movies for my daughter. I was very pleased and quite surprised by the quality of these movies. Not only did each movie have a valuable lesson to teach, they each displayed a huge array of appropriate behaviors that seem to be lost on our generation. It is refreshing to see children displaying good manners, respect for adults (including their parents), and an understanding of the blessings they have in their life. So many children these days have an entitlement attitude, lack respect and manners, and talk to adults in sassy tones. Surprisingly, my daughter picks up quite a bit of sass from the Disney Channel and other kid shows. I appreciate the American Girl movies displaying the alternative. Parents can talk until they are blue in the face about how they would like their children to behave. Having children view this behavior from other children is so much more powerful. I must also say that these movies were entertaining and I enjoyed watching them with my girls.
 Solid Viewing for TWEEN GIRLS February 1, 2010

These movies while very simplistic share pertinent real information about history. They teach lessons on being honest, being yourself and doing the right thing. This is a far cry from the Disney genre. Definitely more wholesome - but welcomed for my 9 year old. It turns her American doll into a real person. These are also great to use if your children have any sort of assignment on historical fiction. These remind me of my youth watching Little House. Give them a try - even if you don't have the expensive dolls!
A great deal and educational too!!! January 7, 2010

This is a great deal. I highly recommend this to all parents of kids of all ages. We began watching the American Girl movies when my daughter was 3. She's now 5 and we continue to love them. Best of all, it's not just my daughter that loves them - her dad and I do too!!! These have all have a nice plot and give a child a sense of seeing history come to life in such a fun and educational way.
The movies do all deviate slightly from the plots in the books, however, my daughter doesn't seem to mind. All of the girls are wonderful girls that you'd love for your daughter to be like. The story of Felicity (set during the Revolutionary War) befriending the evil Jiggy Nye and dealing with a strained friendship with her best friend Elizabeth since one was a patriot and the other was a loyalist. The Samantha movie is a story of her becoming best friends with Nellie (set in 1904 - when automobiles were starting to be popular and they things like women voting were the hot topics) and her dealing with learning to be a "proper" lady like her grandmother. The Molly movie (set during the World War II) is of her accepting her changed life with her dad off to war and new friend Emily who was sent from England to escape some of the fighting.
I was never a person that cared about history. I had one history class in high school that I didn't learn anything from. I also had one history class in college that I learned some things, but that knowledge didn't stick with me. I just can't believe how much I've learned from these movies (and books!).
I highly recommend all of the Historical American Girl movies and books to everyone. I am really disappointed that American Girl has gone to making so many more of the "Just like Me" dolls instead of continuing to educate our children on such important historical events.
 Bad customer service January 7, 2010

I did not have a chance to actual receive this product. I ordered it on December 3, 2009 for a Christmas gift, and I received an email on December 7, 2009 that it had been shipped. When I hadn't gotten it or heard anything by the 23rd, I emailed the company through Amazon to find out what the deal was. Then, on December 24, 2009, I received an email saying that a refund was being issued due to "account adjustment." Needless to say, I was not happy. The refund was not the issue, my point of contention is that I received an email that it had been shipped, then never received it, and then was told, with no explanation, that my money was being refunded. I would rate this as horrible customer service.
Great Movies For The Whole Family December 24, 2009

I bought these for my 12-year-old daughter. She absolutely loves them and I enjoy watching them as well. Each story has a good moral message and there is nothing inappropriate that you wouldn't want to see/hear. My daughters watch these over and over again. A very good investment!
