It can be an old movie, I can have seen this a thousand times, but I still love it. It's touchy, lovely, cute and truly beautiful.


"I am a princess. All girls are. Even if they live in tiny old attics. Even if they dress in rags, even if they aren't pretty, or smart, or young. They're still princesses. All of us. Didn't your father ever tell you that?"

Precious.

I'm really not one for cheesy/cute chick flick movies. I'm not even a big fan of feel-good movies but for some reason I love this movie. I saw it when it first came out when I was younger and I watched it again and I'm almost embarrassed to say that it was just as good as I remember it. Maybe it's the nostalgic part of me talking, but I'd definitely recommend it.

A disappointing movie

Since I kept hearing some great things about this movie and since it was directed by Alfonso Curaon, easily one of the best directors at work nowadays, I was really eager to check this movie and I definitely had some rather high expectations. Well, eventually, I’m afraid the whole thing turned out to to be rather disappointing. I mean, sure, it was rather well done and the girl playing the main ... read more

Description: A Little Princess is a luminous and buoyant screen interpretation of a novel by Frances Hodgson Burnett (The Secret Garden). Director Alfonso Cuaron taps all of the enchanting elements in this heart-affecting tale and comes up with one of the best films for children. When young Sara Crewe’s father enlists to fight for the British in WWI, she is sent from India to attend the same New York boarding school her late mother had attended. Just before going off to the front, her father reinforces Sara's faith in the redemptive power of imagination and in the special place she has in his heart. At the restrictive school, Sara re ...

“I absolutely loved the book, and i know they changed a few things but I don't care. I loved it anyway, because of the music and the cinematography. It is not quite as good as Secret Garden, but an extremely close contender. The scenes with the war were gut-wrenching, and the locations of India were stunning. And the music is gorgeous, very sad at times. Liesel Matthews brilliantly portrayed the girl with a wide imagination. Matching her perfectly, was Eleanor Bron as the evil Miss Minchin never once over the top, and there were some funny and touching moments, like Sara's first meeting with Becky and when she learns of her father's death. The costumes are gorgeous, really they were, the ending was a real tearjerker and Cuaron perfectly captured the essence of the themes of love, friendship” read more
