Edit: I Think I'm going to put UNPOPULAR OPINION here as a disclaimer. haha Clearly, it's a lot more unpopular here than I anticipated. But that's ok. I'm up for discussion and debate.
I'm a little skeptical. I'm hoping this movie will be more family friendly than Barbie. I get that adults love these properties too, but lately it is getting harder and harder to find movies I can watch with my little cousins, nieces, and nephews. The Barbie movie was a little too raunch-com for our kids and had a lot of inappropriate scenes. I couldn't even take my whole family to see it (which was disappointing for me) because of the reviews warning. When I officially saw it on digital they were kind of right. I know this is an unpopular opinion because Barbie is very liked by many, but that is the one down side of having IP's for kids becoming too adult: it makes it harder for people with kids in their families to enjoy together. While it might work for Barbie (because she has always been seen as a teenager or an adult), American Girls have always been portrayed as kids. I don't think I want an overly edgy doll franchise from AG.
Anyway, what are your thoughts on all of this? I feel like Mattel is going to milk this to see how far they can go with their intellectual properties. Hopefully, they do not ruin AG by catering too much to the adult fanbase. Kids need good things as well.
Just wanted to share Corinne’s movie is coming to Netflix on Wednesday. I know it’s already on Amazon Prime but Netflix is a much larger platform. Hope more people get to watch it! Already seems like Netflix is promoting more than Amazon did.
