The American Girl Movie Collection (Samantha - An American Girl Holiday / Felicity - An American Girl Adventure / Molly - An American Girl on the Home Front) (2006) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)All three of these movies are fantastic, and far exceeded my expectations. I love them as much as the kids, as they are not dumbed down or silly. The cinematography is excellent, production values are high, acting is solid. The period sets and costumes are well done. And the stories are great - realistic plots and drama. In short, these films represent what is possible in family / kids movies, and what I would like to see more of as an alternative and antidote to the usual Hollywood blockbuster spectacles. Highly recommended, especially to independent and active girls who need strong role models, but also to intelligent boys and adults who like good stories. Great value for three discs.

Barbie in The Nutcracker (2001) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Beautiful. Exquisite. Captivating. There aren't enough superlatives to describe the quality of Barbie's first, and hopefully not last, movie. I bought this for my daughter thinking that it would be fun video for her to watch (Barbie lover that she is at 2 1/2) as the holidays approach. I didn't expect to fall in love with it myself. In amazing computer animation, the Nutcracker is retold through the eyes of Barbie playing both the roles of Clara and the Sugarplum Princess. The story is strong, with lots of action and tenderness: the plotline includes, of course, Prince Eric as the Nutcracker, the Mouse King and his legions, and lots of adorable sugarplum fairies. The dance sequences will take your breath away as the graphics artists have integrated actual footage of the dancing of the New York City Ballet into their computer animated scenes. I only wish there had been more of them, but I will take quality over quantity! A few of the scenes were a little rough for my 2-year old, but really no worse than a Disney movie. Even if you're not a fan of Barbie, pick up this movie for its sheer storytelling and visual value. All in all, I have to say that this is destined to become a favorite for girls (including us moms!) of all ages.

This modern adaptation of the holiday classic casts Barbie in two roles, Clara and the Sugarplum Princess, as she embarks on a musical fantasy adventure for girls of all ages. New York City Ballet's Peter Martins choreographed this wonderful animated film, with music by The London Symphony Orchestra, and featuring the voice of Tim Curry as the Mouse King.
