Happy Holidays from the Pink Aisle!

Going into the new year, we are going to be examining the American Girl movies and the dolls they are based on, starting with Samantha: An American Girl Holiday. Listen as Emma witnesses the surprisingly dark and realistic issues that Samantha faces in New York during 1904, and Henry reawakens all of his repressed knowledge on the American Girl Doll line.

This week, we are joined by Sam Marchiony to discuss The Pirate Fairy, a movie that introduced many to the Disney Fairies franchise by the merit of a certain Tom Hiddleston in the cast. Listen to see if this movie lives up to the 2014 Tumblr hype as we discuss how this movie does the titular pirate fairy dirty, the wild antics of switched fairy powers, and the uncomfortable romantic implications set up between human and fairy.

Special Thanks to our guest, Sam Marchiony.
