31 Thoughts I Had While Watching "Saige"

Hello hello! A while ago I saw a post by a Disney blog, where they wrote down thoughts they had while watching a movie. I was familiar with the movie, so the post was entertaining. I thought it might be fun to do a similar post here on an American Girl movie! I believe Saige is the fourth GOTY movie I have watched (after Lea, McKenna, and Isabelle). I watched the movie, and jotted down things as it went along. If you are familiar with the movie, you might know what I am referring to in my list of "thoughts" :)

The "thoughts" will begin at the start of the movie and continue to the end. Anything in parentheses is tidbits that I am just including as I write this post.

Without further ado!....

1.  This song sounds like it would be played at Disneyland California Adventure.
2. This girl's hair is a lot redder than the doll's.
3. ITS HER MEET OUTFIT
4. Where does she live? Oh, New Mexico. (I was literally trying to remember where she lived two seconds before they showed the school name)
5. She's going to make friends with the new girl.
6. REMBRANDT! (I feel like the AG stuffy of Rembrandt has different proportions than the dog)
7. Is that Mimi?
8. All her animals are named after artists.
9. Mimi and Saige have matching earrings.
10. Oh how sad the art room is locked.
11. That's a cute song.
12. Wow my brother totally called that.
13. This is sad!
14. Tessa looks like Julie.
15. How did she know those four girls planned it?
16. Hahaha! "This is Bland" (😂)
17. You can do it Saige!!
18. She's fake crying! Good for her! (I was commenting on the actress, not the character :))
19. They have nice signs.
20. They should have an art exhibit and sell their art.
22. Focus Saige!!
24. Yay! She picked up the brush pens!
25. Oh I'm glad they made up.
26. They're unlocking it!!!!
27. Whoa! A balloon with lips!!!
28. Wait. Her name is Mimi?? (I thought that was just what Saige called her.)
29. IT'S HER FANCY DRESS
30. That's still good, they only need $1,000 more.
31. Ooo sparkles.

THE END! Yes, those were thirty-one thoughts I had while watching Saige :) I hope you enjoyed this, and knew what I was referring to in most of the thoughts.

Have a nice day!

I've been trying to get the email subscription gadget to work, but I can't seem to. I've looked up tutorials but nothing has worked... That's why there isn't an option to follow me by email directly from my site. But if you have a Google or Wordpress account, it's easy to follow me that way.

My Thoughts on the New Release!

Since I never got around to doing a post on Z's release, I thought I'd talk about what I think of the new items AG released today. You can see them all on the American Girl website here. I'll just be mentioning the 18inch doll stuff, so to see the human, Wellie, pet, and Bitty items be sure to visit the AG website.

(all photos are from Americangirl.com)

                                       

 This is Gabby's cute bed. I think all the little items have great play value. 

                                      

Also for Gabriela, this is a cute set, but I think the pieces are small for $75. I saw one blogger mentioned that there is a MyLife chair almost just like this one for about $10. 

                                          

This is Gabby's "Take Flight" performance outfit. The top and the skirt are separate. With the skirt being sheer, I feel like the top should be a leotard. The details (like the butterflies) are nice. The green top has silver threads mixed in. The slippers are cool.

                                      

Tenney's "Sparkling Performance Outfit" is one of my favorites from this release. Although I don't usually buy American Girl clothing except on rare occasions (i.e. 2016 penguin pajamas), I see a lot of mix and match potential for the shoes and jacket.

                                          

Logan's performance outfit seems a bit simple to me, but that's fine because Logan needs more clothing and if it's versatile then all the better! The jacket is very cute. 

                                        

                                          

I hadn't seen the three new Truly Me dolls until the release today. #69 reminds me of #55, but her hair is shorter, more like #33's style. She also has brown eyes.

                                         

agwebkinz010 on YouTube had a custom doll that looked like #68 (I'm not sure if she still has here) and I thought she was pretty cute! 

                                             

This doll reminds me of #46 and Gabriela.... But this girl's hair is so much longer! She is #69. How long would her hair be if it was straightened??? 😮

There are also several new Dolls Without Hair (70, 71, and, 72); they are "limited quantity".

Oh also! I like the new TM meet outfit! Even though the shoes are apparently plastic, I still like them. They are sparkly, after all.

                                     

This hotel theme is such a good idea! It can also just be a doll's bedroom (like Tenney???). I like that the back is like the front desk of the hotel.

                                       

This is a nice set to go with the hotel theme.

                                               

 This reminds me of Grace's suitcase; I think doll suitcases are adorable.

                                         

This goes with the hotel as well! The food appears to be a cinnamon roll, fruit, and bacon. I like it!

                                           

These items seem small for $28, but the sunglasses!! I like the color scheme.

                                           

 I like this color! This is a travel dress.

                                             

This dress is made of corduroy.

                                           

I like this tank top, but I would put it with something other than that skirt. 

                                              

I think these items would be better if they were paired differently. I really like the shoes!

                                           

I really like this sweater. I feel like my dolls need more long sleeve stuff. The skirt is kind of Eastery, I think, which is just fine with me.

                                          

Okay, the sweater goes with these leggings much better.

                                                

I like the color and design of the top! The boots I really like, since I don't have Grace.

                                           

                                           

 I like more glasses for dolls! The colors of these are so wonderful!

                                             

This is blue (I know a lot of AG fans want more blue/green rather than pink/purple) and Logan could totally wear this!!

                                         

I know there has been many lunch sets, but I like these tacos!

                                          

I see a lot of play value in this set, with a tablet, pencil, notebooks, cards, paper, etc. etc. I like the design of the backpack! What does the key go to?

                                             

This is blue like most lockers I see!

                                        

Lastly is this hamster set. I really like this! It's unique. The lid comes off and everything can come out (except for the shavings I think).

Well that was a long post, but I hope you enjoyed reading my thoughts haha!

What's your favorite item from this release?

Phoebe's Thoughts on Z's Release and Collection!

Today Phoebe will be talking about the items in Z's collection!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hello all! Me and my friends are so excited for Z! She was released exactly one week ago, on April 27. She even looks like me! Her hair is a bit longer though.

 

Here she is! I think her outfit is cute and versatile. I'm sure Brooke would love those sparkly shoes. I think it's also cool that Z is from Seattle, in Washington. It's nice to have dolls from different areas of the US, because each area has it's own mini-culture that can be shown through the doll's release!

This is Z's accessory set. The jacket is cute and versatile.

 

Here we can really see the length of Z's hair. I like that braid on the side... Maybe I'll have to try it! As for the outfit, it's pretty cute, but doesn't have much mix and match ability since the overlay tank is kind of small and the dress is a dress.

This outfit seems simple, but sometimes simple outfits are good. The shoes!!!

 

Aww sweet! I guess there has been a Truly Me dog that looks a lot like this, but now it is back as part of Z's story.

 

Check out these cameras, camera bag, and tripod! This is cool, I think. Brooke is the photographer in the family and I'm sure she would love this too. I also like that the equipment is in colors that would appear in real life (I read that somewhere and I agree).

What?! I want this!! *zooms around on imaginary scooter*

 

The final item in Z's collection is this desk. It has quite a few accessories that come with it. I wonder if the hinges actually work? The laptop is cool! I also wonder if I could sit in that chair or would I fall off?

Welp that's all for today! Thank ya'll for hearing about my 'pinions! I'm off to celebrate Star Wars Day with Maggie!
