Sara Crewe is a young girl who loves to tell creative stories. When her father, whom she is very close with, has to go fight in the war, Sara has to go to New York to attend a board school over there. A school where Saras late mother also attended, when she was a young girl. When Sara meets Miss.Minchin, the schools mean headmistress, they don't get on as Miss.Minchin doesn't like Saras stories or creativity and the fact that Sara believes "every girl is a princess". Than when Saras father has reportedly died in action, Miss. Minchin makes Sara a servant in the school.Sara still believes "every girl is a princess" though and convinces everyone else in the school the same thing, she carries on telling her stories and stays happy and true to herself. This remains one of a very few movies to have moved me to tears. Child roles are usually poorly played, but the girls in this movie are truly brilliant meaning you are brought into the world of innocence and imagination that only childrens minds can conjour. Then, you find yourself willing the lead role through her adversity and against her pain. If I had to describe it in one word; magical.
