Which American Girl historical movie was your fave, and which historical doll who doesn't have their own movie should've had their own movie?
Hey Everyone,
I just got into a little kerfuffle in the comments of TikTok about Addy and wanted to know what y’all think. Before I start, yes AG should absolutely diversify the historical line more but I think that what they did with Addy is a great way to introduce young children to what happened with slavery and the struggles that even freed slaves & African Americans faced. I think if they didn’t have a doll representing this part of history it would be a huge disservice. Anyway here was the conversation, which was made on a satire video about doll brands having a lack of diversity.
Original Comment: “American Girl doll Abby was pretty much like this lol I used to read the catalog and damn near everything was slave themed” My Comment: “Everything was slave themed? No. She and her Mom escape slavery in the first book and the rest of her story is their journey/struggle in freedom” OC’s Reply: “The fact that you even typed that trying to disprove my statement is baffling, yiu can't be that dense”
So like am I incorrect? I had Addy growing up and she has always been one of my favorites and one of the reasons I’m really into that era of history so maybe I’m biased.
I LOVED the historical doll movies as a kid my absolute favourite being Samantha’s movie, still watch it every now and then. It has got me thinking, I wonder why Kristen or Addy didn’t get a movie. A movie about Kaya would’ve been really interesting as well. Do you think this is something American girl potentially missed the mark on not continuing to make these movies?
I know Melody kinda got a movie but it didn’t feel the same as the older ones. I learnt a lot from these movies, like the orphan train, dresses made out of chicken food bags, victory gardens just to name a few, I’ve even gone on to research more about the history as an adult. It’s a shame we didn’t get more movies like those ones.
