Summary: Some pleasing settings - but atrocious acting
Review: Okay, maybe it's because this was designed to be a "children's movies" and the powers that be decided acting was not a priority... I can overlook that the people in the movie are caricatures and stereotypes more than developed individuals. Okay, the main character is unbelievably good and the school master is unreasonably mean. That is to be expected. The problem for me was that every time a character opened their mouth I cringed at what came out.The plot was good, but I was amazed at how terrible the acting was. It was as if the children were asked to read their lines in the most sugary tones possible. Especially the main character. I think "children's movies" can certainly have layers to their characters and can feature actors that can actually act. Unfortunately, this is not one of those movies.

Summary: One of my favourite movies
Review: I don't really know why, but I love this movie. I have loved it since I was in third grade. I'm not usually one to enjoy "magical" or "Hollywood-ending" movies, but this is an exception. I love Liesel Matthews as Sara - she is not too sweet, not too perky, not too anything that child actresses usually are. Perhaps the plotline of the movie isn't like the book, but that doesn't bother me. The film and the book are in different leagues. I recommend this movie.

Summary: I hated this movie!
Review: If you liked the book, don't get this movie. I don't know why they named it A Little Princess since the story is so different. I bought the VHS version thinking it would be good seeing what book it was based on. Boy was I wrong. In the movie Sara goes to New York to be at a boarding school to be safe while her Dad goes off to fight in WWI. In the book she is sent to London to learn to be a lady while her father stays in India apparently to do nothing and invest in diamond mines. In the movie Sara does naughty things all the time. You would never catch Frances Hodgeson Burnett's Sara doing such a thing. There is also a feminist slant to this movie where you find 10 year old girls hanging on to wet brick walls by one finger. Sara does not act like a princess, all she does is go around boasting that it is every girl's right to be a princess. It is not. Girls should act like princesses, be polite, kind and ladylike, not go around feeling haughty and better than every one else. Maybe the acting is suberb, I don't know. I've probably watched less than 20 movies in my 16 years, but I was very disappointed with this one.

Summary: A must see, even better a must have
Review: I've had this DVD since 98 and have watched it dozens of times without ever growing tired of it. I never read the book so I don't know how close the movie follows the book but this is a truly inspirational movie very well cast and acted. The lead role is is amazing and Liesel Matthews plays her part to perfection. Adults should enjoy the movie as much as kids, I'm an adult and this is probably my favorite family movie of all time. A beautiful story of courage, strength and never giving up no matter how bad things get, this is definitely better than The Secret Garden. I love the contrast between her story world and her real world, that's all I will give away about the movie, I don't want to ruin it for anyone who hasn't seen it. Some very moving tear jerking moments, anyone who doesn't like this may as well give up on watching movies, there is no hope for you. A masterpiece of storytelling don't miss seeing it, in fact buy it and enjoy it over and over for years to come.

Summary: A Little Princess
Review: Sara Crewe is a girl that lives in India but had to move to New York because her father had to go to war. In New York, she stays in a place called Miss.Minchan's Seminary for girls. One day when it is Sara's birthday, she is having a fun time with her friends. They have a big cake and they are very happy until Miss Minchon comes in. She takes Sara away and tells her that her father died in war. Sara has to go in the attic to live with the servant Becky because she has no money to live on. It is very cold in the attic. The end is for you to find out when you read it.
I liked this book because it has a very good ending and a supprising middle. It's not one of those books where you can tell what is going to happen. I think that you should read this book whoever you are.

Summary: A Little Princess
Review: I think that the book A Little Princess was a very good book . The reason that I thought that it was so good was because they made it sound really real by making some people mean,some poeple nice, and some people anoying. I thought that Mrs. Michin was too mean.

Summary: My Favorite Book
Review: I'm not going to go through what this book is about, because you can read any of the other reviews here to find that out. I'm just going to say that this is my all-time favorite book. When I was little I read it over and over again, and I modelled myself after the main character. I still do. I love her because she's gentle and kind, she was rich and everyone thought she was spoiled but it wasn't true, she bore her trials well and remained true to herself when things took a turn for the (extreme) worse. She was generous and smart and she didn't have a short temper but she wasn't afraid to get angry if she had good cause. And just a million other things. If I had my way every little girl would have a copy of this book, and also every adult woman.
