 - Great Movie for young girlsThis is a heart warming story. Our Girl Scout troop watched it and immediately loved it, and Felicity herself. The movie has good moral values-- which most don't these days-- and 8-12 age group loves it. My daughter wants a "tea" dress like Felicity and I would much rather her have Felicity as her ideal than a Disney Princess or Barbie. She is portrayed as a real girl. She is believable. We have watched the movie many times. I would recommend it to anyone who wants a great movie for pre-teen girls. Rating:  - Well done and worth the moneyAs a 5th grade teacher and having visited Colonial Williamsburg last summer, I think this is a great video for 8-12 year-olds. It has good stories (directly from the books) that are both interesting to kids (girls AND boys) and fairly true to the times. My one real complaint about it is that it does not deal with the issue of slavery at all, and a family of Felicity's status would have definitely owned slaves. Other than that, I had good discussions with my students afterwards about issues of social status and how people of certain classes were expected to dress and act during Colonial times. It really helped my students get a better feel for the times we are studying, and brought up tensions leading up to the Revolution. Even my 6-year-old son enjoyed it! Rating: - Great AG SeriesALL American Girl movies are wonderful. My daughter and I (and even my son) loves to watch these when the come on the Hallmark Channel. My daughter received this dvd from her brother because Felicity is her favorite and her favorite era. Felicity reminds us about loving and believing in something that is more important than her self. She is not selfish, a great lesson for our young ones!! Rating: - Felicity an American Girl DVD This is a fabulous family movie. I purchased it because my daughter is a huge American Girl fan, and my entire family (including Grandparents) sat together for the entire movie. It gives incite into what the younger generation went through during the times leading up to the American Revolution. If you love history and want to be able sit down with the entire family get this movie. Rating: - Great family movieThis movie was purchased for a Christmas gift and taken on vacation for entertainment. No dissapointment here. Good story line and stayed pretty true to book. Nice filming, kept adult attentions as well as elementary age.
