Summary: Bet You'll Be Surprised...
Review: ...when you find out that Shirley's trademark song, "On the Good Ship Lollipop" premieres in this movie, not on a boat, but on an airplane! Shirley's aviator dad was killed in a crash before the movie begins, but his best pal James Dunn is still very much on the scene and in her life. Darling Shirley and her mom live in the home of some rich folks, for whom Mom is the maid. They are an unhappy family for all their money, with a bratty daughter (played to perfection by future Josephine the Plumber Jane Withers) and a cantankerous old wheelchair-bound uncle. Things take a spin when Shirley's mother is struck by a hit and run driver en route to Shirley's birthday party. The ensuing custody battle is wrapped up just about as you might expect."Bright Eyes" is a very good children's movie, and like so many of Shirley's movies, treats the topic of death with sensitivity--we know the mother has died because we see the birthday cake ornament, a little plane, is broken by the side of the curb. There's a neat scene also when Shirley and Dunn (and a puppy dog) have to bail out of a plane via parachute--that should really brighten the eyes of your little ones!

Summary: Shirley at her BEST!!
Review: I absolutely loved this movie! She plays such an unselfish
little girl. Shes a joy to watch! The way her and James Dunn
interact on the screen is just perfect. Especially when he has to explain about her mother! This is a must see Shirley movie.

Summary: Good to have on DVD but...
Review: It's about time these early Shirley Temple films are being reissued on DVD. Yes, "The Little Pincess" has been on DVD for years but up to now that has been the only one available. This is the first of three films released by Fox Studios (Heidi & Dimples being the other two) and while I am happy it is on DVD the picture quality is a BIG disappointment. Maybe because it was made earlier than other Temple films (1934) the graininess really shows through. In this case, it isn't much better than VHS, and that is sad. Perhaps, the original film negative is in poor shape but Fox probably could have done better. So, while I am ecstatic that Shirley Temple (the greatest child film star EVER) is getting her due on DVD, I am disappointed that the quality of this release isn't better. However, it still is better than VHS, but not by much. By the way, the "Heidi" DVD is much better, in both picture quality and story, but "Bright Eyes" is a great movie by a great little actress.

Summary: Sweet, funny and touching
Review: My 2 yr old loves this movie! Shirley is adorable and Jane Withers is a classic brat -her performance alone is worth watching ! She's hysterical. For any child who loves airplanes this movie is also a must see. Parents should know that Shirley's mother gets hit by a car and dies, although it went over my toddlers head. No gore of course, it's Shirley Temple. But the explanation of her death by "Uncle Lou" to young Shirley is so touching it brought me to tears. Love this movie!

Summary: Avoid The Colorized Version
Review: Note that the clamshell version from Fox is colorized. The color is terrible.

Summary: One of the cutest films!!!
Review: Shirley is VERY cute in this film. She plays a very unselfish and cute little girl who likes to help out and visit the airport. She basicially does not have to act in this film because the way her chartacter acts is how Shirley acts herself . (Notice that her name is Shirley in this film.)
It deserves a three star though because I didn't see much dancing in this film except for The Good Ship Lollipop, and when you watch Jane Withers and Shirley together you can feel guilty when you act selfish.

Summary: Jane and Shirley light up the screen!
Review: Shirley Temple and Jane Withers are a dynamic duo together as Shirley plays a orphaned child that everybody wishes to adopt and Jane plays a selfish brat who has no compassion for Shirley or anybody else. This movie is simply hysterical with the rude Joy (Jane Withers)and the funny and political Uncle Ned. I have never laughed as much as I did in any other Shirley Temple film! Shirley sings her trade mark song "On the Good Ship Lollipop" and will dazzle you with her charm. The plot of the story is easy for young children to follow and consists of tear jerkers, hysterical moments, and dramatic scenes. I have to say this movie wouldn't receive 5 stars without Jane Withers!

Summary: WELL ISN'T THIS MOVIE TERRIFIC!
Review: Sure it is because we get to see Shirley singing her trademark song in grand fashion: ON THE GOOD SHIP L0LLIPOP. But get out your hankie or Kleenex before you view it. You will need it. Rewind and watch her sing this song again. And again, and again...You'll never get tired!
