Hiya. Well, it’s been a few days since I posted due to poor wi-fi signal but the good news is I’m back! Today, I will be ranking the American Girl movies from my least favorite to my favorite. Are you ready for it?
#13: Ivy and Julie: A Happy Balance
I don’t hate this movie by any means. In fact I think it’s quite good. However, I didn’t enjoy it nearly as much as most of the other AG movies. First of all, I was kind of annoyed with how they mainly focused on Ivy’s story when the books are from Julie’s point of view [besides, I love basketball so I’d love to see that in an AG movie]. I get that they’re trying to introduce diversity, and I’m really glad they’re doing that but they could have done it a better way. Also, I found Ivy kind of annoying in the movie.
#12: Saige Paints the Sky
It was pretty good, and I liked the outfits and all the horseback riding featured in the movie. However, I found Saige horribly whiny, and the majority of her friends seemed really bratty. So, while it was a fun movie it was definitely not my favorite.
#11: Samantha: An American Girl Holiday
I did like it a lot, and I thought AnnaSophia Robb did a good job with her part but there was just something about this that annoyed me. I’m not sure what. Again, it wasn’t a bad movie, just not my favorite.
#10: Grace Stirs up Success
It was good and I really liked the part where the pie hit Grace’s uncle in the face [I don’t even know her real name, my sister and I just call him Uncle Pieface. No, we’re not weird] but it wasn’t my favorite, and there’s a lot of movies I’d rather watch.
#9: Felicity: An American Girl Adventure
I LOVED this movie, and the fact that it’s historically accurate. I liked Felicity’s spunky personality, and the fact that horses were in this movie [can you tell I like horses? I’m actually learning horseback riding so if you want a post on that on my other blog than let me know]. This and the rest of the movies I really like so it’s pretty random.
#8: Isabelle Dances Into The Spotlight
While there were parts I didn’t like [Isabelle’s whininess for example] I thought it was a good movie overall. I probably would have enjoyed it even more if I was a ballet dancer. Also, very random but I like the costumes, and Isabelle’s ombre hair.
#7: Lea to the Rescue
I liked the fact that it was really exciting, and had more adventure than most of the AG movies [plus it had adorable jungle animals] but I didn’t think the actress who played Lea did a very good job. I found her quite annoying in this movie.
#6: Molly: An American Girl on the Home Front
I LOVED this movie. I liked how historically accurate it was, and I loved the tap dancing parts. My sister actually has the Molly doll so this movie is her favorite [I love it, too], and I liked Emily in this movie, too.
#5: Maryellen: Extraordinary Christmas
Maryellen was really hilarious, and I loved how her big ideas always seem to backfire [just like most of my big ideas then, and some of my not-so-well-thought-out ideas now]. I liked how she wanted to help people so much, and I liked her personality a lot. Plus, it was the 50’s so it had 50’s fashion which I also love].
#4: McKenna Shoots for the Stars
It was a pretty good movie, and I liked the gymnastics, and it was a really good GOTY movie [of course I like all of them which makes it very hard to rank]. My sisters and I used to ONLY PLAY this game, and I would usually be McKenna, even though I liked being Sierra, too. It’s a fun movie, and I think Jade Pettyjohn did a great job as McKenna.
#3: Kit Kittredge: An American Girl
Even though it didn’t stay true to the books I LOVED it. I also loved seeing the 30’s fashion, and I liked the excitement and adventure in this movie. Also, Grace is ADORABLE. Kit reminds me a lot of myself, so she was more relatable than character’s in other AG movies, and Abigail Breslin is such a talented actress.
#2: Melody: Love has to Win
This movie handled the issues of racism perfectly, and I liked Melody’s character. She was the perfect combination of sweet and sassy. Also, it had 60’s fashion so bonus points.
#1: Chrissa Stands Strong
Do I probably just like this movie because Chrissa’s my favorite American Girl doll? Possibly. Did I like it before than? Yes. It’s a great movie, and Sammi Hanratty is a great actress, and she’s really adorable [random but true].
Well, what are your favorite American Girl movies? Also, did you catch my Taylor Swift referance?
