Felicity: An American Girl Adventure (2005, DVD)

This was the first of the American Girl movie we watched. Both my daughter and myself quikcly took to it. Wonderful story line apeals to both children and adults. Costumes are amazing. Many ideal projects and conversations stemmed from watching this film. Great way to introduce a period of history!

I bought this DVD several weeks ago, but did not sit down to watch it with my 5 1/2-year-old granddaughter until yesterday.

For the past several months, I had been collecting the AG historical dolls to share with her, but as of yesterday, only had introduced her to Kaya and Felicity . . . along with short synopses of life in their times. But neither of us had any idea of what the movie's storyline would cover.

I was amazed by how quickly she got caught up in it, despite the costumes and language accents of the characters. She did not move from her seat for the entire movie (90 minutes) — and except for the discussion of events LEADING UP TO the American Revolution, seemed to understand exactly what was happening. Afterwards, she also was able to retell the events to her dad, when he arrived to take her home.

Since I had not previewed the movie, I was unprepared for the scenes dealing with the sudden death of Felicity's grandfather, or her mother's near-death experience. Although she realized what was happening when the horse-drawn caisson appeared, she did not seem upset . . . but understandably, watching the scenes dealing with her mother's post partum illness seemed a little scary to her. I think (hope) I was able to reassure her that thanks to modern medicine, such events are rare these days . . . but if I were to offer any advice to first-time viewers planning to watch the movie with younger children, it would be either to cover the topic of death to the extent suitable for the child, or be prepared to deal with his/her responses, if necessary.

Aside from that, however I thought it was a great movie and definitely worth watching with a child. Already have Samantha and Molly's DVDs, so it will be interesting to see how she responds to them.

By the way, this DVD was described as "used" when listed, and when it arrived still had a tag on the package indicating it had been a rental. Any qualms I might have had about its potential condition were unfounded. It played perfectly and cost a heck of a lot less than I would have had to pay for a new copy.

I bought this movie as a bribe for my granddaughter - you finish reading the book, you get to watch the movie.

We enjoyed it. There were a lot of historical references that I had to explain later. And it moved a little slow, but all in all I was pleased with it. I was hesitant to get it because I wondered about the quality of the writing/directing/acting, etc., but for a "non-commercial" movie it was well done.

I never received this product I sent e mails with my address 621 paloma ln apt 103 bellingham wa 98226 but heard nothing from anyone with my concern

I bought this for my granddaughter for Christmas. She loves the movie. It arrived quickly in good condition and was reasonably priced. It was exactly as described and the seller's emails were helpful and timely.

My daughter loves the American girl dolls, books & has just gotten into the movies. We have looked in local stores for this movie, but have not seen it anywhere. My daughter loves the movie, it is well done & very interesting, historically. It has parts of the plot from several of the "Felicity" books. If your daughter has read the books, this will be a great way to make them come alive even more. My daughter loves seeing the costumes & the way that life was different for a girl her age in colonial times.

Price was the reason I bought this. Seller has yet to ship. Can't even get a claim filed through PAYPAL. That's how I paid.

I bought this for my oldest daughter. She loves this movie and watched it several times. We also have the other two American Girl movies. This one is just great as the rest in the series. We were not disappointed at all. We got it at a great steal on E-Bay.

The movie is great. I love the historical content and a decent plot. I wanted it so I would have it at the house when my grandaughters visited. I am so bummed that I paid for it and it never arrived.

I bought this movie due to the fact I am a John Schneider fan but I found my self enjoying a true family film that can be watched by people of all ages.
It is destined to be a classic to be watched for years to come.

Felicity is a well made, informative and entertaining movie the whole family can enjoy together. We rented it first and when my family did not want to return it, I knew I should look for a copy to own. It is a classic.

We own several American Girl movies, and my daughters love them all. They are quality productions, and my two girls have enjoyed watching them over and over again. Like the AG books, they bring history to life through the eyes of young ladies in previous eras. I wish every series could be made into a movie.

I bought the dvd for my niece. The sale and delivery were quick and appreicated. My niece is into the american girl dolls and I like that american girl gets girls interested in history.

i bought this for my daughter who just loves the american girl series its nice to know that there are still decent shows for our children to view

I BOUGHT THIS DVD FOR MY 8 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER. SHE LOVES AMERICAN GIRL THINGS. I WISH THEY MADE DVD`S FOR EACH DOLL. THEY ONLY MAKE 3. THIS DVD WAS IN MINT CONDITION.

I purchased this dvd for our daughter. We enjoy watching the American Girl DVDs. Felicity was great. The adventures that Felicity got into just made you want to continue watching to see how it all turned out. The performance was excellant. It is definately a family movie, especially if you have a young girl at home.
We purchased Samantha last year and enjoyed it tremendously. Our hopes were that Felicity would be just as good and it was.

I purchased Felicity's movie for my 7 year old who is horse crazy. I'm thrilled with the movie and it's content. I can't even express how much she loves it. First movie in years that she's watched over and over again.

I first saw this movie on the Hallmark channel a few weeks ago, and it is one of those rare movies you can watch over and over and never tire of it! Immediately i fell in love with it & purchased it on Ebay.
This is a Wonderful Family Movie For All Ages! This child has passion and a spirit that cannot be broken.
Set back in 1775, she faced many obstacles, and had wisdom beyound her years. This movie is heartwarming and will touch your whole family!
A+++++ For Great Family Values!

The American Girl Felicity DVD was as described and was shipped as promised. Was completely satisfied with the transaction.

I purchased this item for my great niece. I have not watched it myself; however she and her 3 sisters have watched it at least twice a day since it was received. They just love it.

I purchased this DVD Felicity the American Girl Adventure for my daughter who is six because she loves horses, and becuase she recently recieved Felicity for her birthday, and since then also recieved the Penny horse too. She loves it, and watches it whenever her brothers are not around to protest. It is a wonderful film with morals, good character and most important it supports our Christian values. There is not much out there that I could compare it to. I plan to purchase the Samantha video by American Girl as well, as we have seen it via the library and love it too....cant wait for Molly to come out at Thanksgiving time! Every little girl should watch these films. They are wholesome, and even we adults love them!

This is a great movie for the whole family. My 9 year old daughter loves the American Girl dolls and books and really wanted this movie. After a couple of weeks worth of chores she earned this dvd. I think she watched it twice the first weekend it came in the mail. Not only is this movie entertaining it also teaches a bit of history.

This item is for my daughter who LOVES the book and history. It is just right
for her and it was in great shape. Great experience overall. Will deal with this seller again.
