After the critical success of 1993's The Secret Garden, Warner Bros. returned to the novels of Frances Hodgson Burnett to create this 1995 adaptation of A Little Princess, which instantly ranked with The Secret Garden as one of the finest children's films of the 1990s. Neither film was a huge box-office success, but their quality speaks for itself, and A Little Princess has all the ingredients of a timeless classic. A marvel of production design, the film features lavish sets built almost entirely on a studio backlot in Burbank, California. The story opens in New York just before the outbreak of World War I, when young Sara (Liesel Matthews) is enrolled in private boarding school while her father goes off to war. Under the domineering scrutiny of the school's wicked headmistress, Miss Minchen (Eleanor Bron), Sara quickly becomes popular with her schoolmates, but fate intervenes and she soon faces a stern reversal of fortune, resorting to wild flights of fancy to cope with an unexpectedly harsh reality. Rather than label her fanciful tales as escapist fantasy, A Little Princess actively encourages a child's power of imagination--a power that can be used to learn, grow, and adapt to a world that is often cruel and difficult. It's also one of the most visually beautiful films of the '90s and creates a fully detailed world within the boarding school--a place where imagination is vital to survival. A first-class production in every respect, this is one family film that should (if it's not too stuffy to say it) be considered required viewing for parents and kids alike. --Jeff Shannon

Description

A True Classic!.......2007-07-02

I thoroughly enjoyed watching this movie, set in nineteenth century America.
Lisel Matthews renders a stirring performance as the only daughter of a wealthy military officer. Spirited, intelligent, and highly imaginative, Sara Crewe must deal with living in a foreign country,(her native country is India), adapting to a strict school run by stern school marme Miss Minchin (Eleanor Bron),and handling the deployment of her father, whom she loves dearly, into active combat during WW2. How Sarah manages, while keeping her humor and her dignity is what makes this revised version so enjoyable. I actually enjoyed it more than the original, starring Shirley Temple(1939). But the best reason for watching it, is the message it has infused into my daughters psyches', the idea that they are both princesses! This is a true classic.

I love this movie I watch it all the time. Thank you Amazon!!!.......2007-06-02

Thank you amazon

Wonderful movie to share with your daughter........2007-05-16

We saw this movie on HBO and purchased it because it is so beautiful. My daughter is 6 and the message that EVERY little girl is a princess, no matter what your clothing or jewelry is like, or from where you grew up. The movie, in a few parts, is a bit too 'unrealistic.' But then again, that is why it is a movie! The bottom line is that my daughter and I watch it often and always cry at the ending.... The love of a daughter and a parent truly transcends all.

Princess or not..........2007-04-12

this movie makes you believe you are one whether you are a maid or an ordinary little girl. Beautifully told and absolutely the best version of this movie!

Amazing.......2007-03-19

This movie is brilliant. This movie expresses altruism in its purest form. I really enjoyed it.

Two of Frances Hodgson Burnett's most treasured children's novels come to the screen in wondrous adaptations. Alfonso Cuaron (Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban) directs A Little Princess, the magical story of a girl who uses her powers of imagination and zest for life to overcome hardships at a stern boarding school. And three lonely children are forever changed as they learn to trust each other while restoring and taking refuge in The Secret Garden. Agnieszka Holland (Europa Europa) directs and Francis Ford Coppola executive produces a luminous film in which magic and hope bloom.

Deceptive Sales Tactic - No Widescreen Versions.......2007-06-22

The movies are great, but these reviews are also about the product itself and this Double Feature product sucks because it says it contains the Widescreen versions of the films, but it does not - it only has the full screen versions. If you're a big DVD buff, this will not be good enough for you as it was not for me!

Fullscreen Only.......2007-06-14

Despite the claims on the packaging that this includes both widescreen and fullscreen versions of each film, it only includes the fullscreen versions.

With as visual of a director as Cuaron, "A Little Princess" should only be seen in its original unmodified presentation. Seek out the individual releases for each of these instead, to get them in their proper aspect ratio.

A Girl's Treasures.......2007-01-10

A Little Princess and the Secret Garden have been favorites in our family for a while. My daughter wore out the video tapes when she was in elementary school. She is now 21. I bought this CD set so we can keep them in the family because my other daughter (8yrs old) loves them as well.

I must say A Little Princess is my all time favorite that I still watch with my youngest daughter and I still cry at the end when Papa cries out for his daughter...SARA!!!

Love it.......2006-08-30

I loved these movies as a young girl, myself and have watched them many times already. Also, fast shipping and what a great deal in cost!

A Little Princess is a Royal Gem.......2006-08-29

I first saw this movie in the theaters with my then 5-yr-old daughter. The movie is a rich mixture of adventure, fun, despair, imagination and love. The movie is visually amazing, the early 20th century brought vividly to life. The score is perfectly composed to heighten the rollercoaster of emotions evoked by Cuaron's story.

I recently watched this movie again with my now 16 year old daughter, and I have a renewed appreciation for this movie. The cinematography, the score, the absolutely awesome cast, make this easily one of the best family movies of all time.

Every father with a daguther should see this movie... it will draw you closer to one another, give her a life affirming message, and entertain you both.

Customer Reviews:

Great Service!.......2007-07-05

The tapes arrived very quickly and were in perfect condition. My daughter has been very happy with her new videos.

Definitely the weakest set..........2007-04-30

As a Shirley Temple fan, I have purchased each one of these new DVD sets so far. This one is definitely the weakest.

The one strong movie of the three, "The Little Princess", cannot make up for the other two. Though all three movies look good, it is the story/plot of each that is either their saving grace or their downfall. (Note that two of these movies - "The Little Princess" and "The Blue Bird" are in colour, while "Stand Up and Cheer" has been left in its original black-and-white state without a colourized version.)

"The Blue Bird" is weak, and it is understandable that this film was the one generally viewed to have ended Shirley's career as a child actress. The story is boring and drawn out, and one cannot help but think that it would be much better as a play (and, in fact, it was originally a play). Shirley is unappealing as a selfish child, and the acting on the part of her co-stars is not very good. Young children would probably not understand some of the underlying themes, and might get bored. I certainly did...

"The Little Princess", made a year earlier than "The Blue Bird", is a much better film. Based on the book by Frances Hodgson Burnett, the movie tells the classic story of little Sara Crewe and her undying belief that her soldier father is still alive. This version looks great; the colour is wonderful. The sound didn't seem quite right (loud ambient noise and too-quiet voices), but that may be my DVD player.

"Stand Up and Cheer" is just a weird movie. It's not for children, and it barely has enough of a plot to keep adults entertained. It's a mish-mash of song-and-dance numbers, and Shirley barely features in it at all. Luckily, with DVD technology, we can skip right to her special scene (and it is a good one... it's no wonder the 1930s movie-going public fell in love with this child!).

I am still waiting for some of my other favourites to be released as part of this series, but I don't know how many more 3-disc sets there will be, as there are five movies (by my count) left to be released: "Our Little Girl", "The Poor Little Rich Girl", "Stowaway", "Wee Willie Winkie", and "Young People".

So, for this set, three stars. The films have been restored nicely. They're just rather weak on content.

HUGE disappointment.......2007-03-26

I was so excited to buy this video for my 3 year old daughter, as she is absolutely fascinated with My Little Pony toys, books, etc. What I never expected were the comments she made while watching it. I certainly never expected that I needed to review it for content before putting it in. When your daughter keeps saying, "They are being really rude and mean, mommy... we should take it out..." I knew I had a problem. The video actually scared her, as the movie is a FAR stretch from the innocence and sweetness of the other My Little Pony products. I absolutely would NOT recommend this for other children. If you do buy it... I recommend you watching it BEFORE letting your child watch it.

Happy Daughter.......2007-02-07

My daughter loves this DVD. She can't get enough of these cute little ponies.

My Little Pony, My Little Pony..........2006-04-18

I own the first season, I own the two DVDs that make up the second season, and I love them both to no end. But my question is, when will the My Little Pony Movie come out on DVD? It was one of my all time favorites, and it's a shame that right now, I don't even think that there are any plans to release it.

Some Fascinating Stories.......2006-04-14

I loved the episodes on this DVD. I thought the Princess Ponies learned their lesson about being selfish with their argument on who should be queen when they decided to take turns in the end. A noticeable goof in Part 4 was when Wind Whistler called Locket Wind Whistler and Locket called Wind Whistler Locket, probably because they were both in the wrong place (i.e., when something fell on Wind Whistler, it was supposed to fall on Locket because Wind Whistler wouldn't question what already happened).

The Golden Horseshoes looked a tad bit odd when Mimic wasn't feeling well. Otherwise, that story was excellent with its happy ending.

Shirley Temple stars in this 1939 version of the Frances Hodgson Burnett novel about a little, motherless girl left in the care of a girls boarding school by her soldier father, and then made into a servant there when he's missing in action during World War I. The fine tear-jerking film is a good vehicle for the famous moppet, and director Walter Lang (The King and I) makes a memorably lavish production of the Victorian milieu. The final scene, in which our Shirley is helped by one of the most famous women in history, brings down the house. --Tom Keogh

Customer Reviews:

Shirley Temple's Version.......2007-05-28

Shirley Temple was in the waning years of being a child star when she starred as Sara Crewe in this movie, her first completely in Technicolor. Shirley brings her own interpretation to this classic story, and this movie has a lot of appeal to Shirley Temple fans.

Sara Crewe's father Captain Reginald Crewe (Ian Hunter) is off to fight in the Second Boer War and leaves Sara at Miss Minchin's academy. Mary Nash, who played Fräulein Rottenmeier in the 1937 Shirley Temple film "Heidi", plays Miss Minchin. Life is good for Sara until Captain Crewe appears on a list of those killed in the war. Suddenly Sara's life is thrown into turmoil as she is relegated to a dark cold attic and all her possessions are taken away.

Sara manages to persevere against adversity and continues to look for her father among the wounded returning from the war. One of the most charming scenes from the movie occurs around the point when Ram Dass (the late and always excellent Cesar Romero) aids Sara by providing her with food, blankets and coal for her usually unlit stove.

As this film goes into its final scenes, Miss Minchin accuses Sara of stealing, she meets the Queen of England, and the police and Miss Minchin chases Sara through a hospital, ever hopeful that she will find her father. How will Sara manage to avoid jail? Will she ever find her father? Watch and see!

There have been at least half a dozen versions of "A Little Princess" filmed. Shirley Temple's version deviates quite a bit from the Frances Hodgson Burnett classic. Excluding the vague relationship between this movie and Burnett's classic, this movie is enjoyable as a Shirley Temple movie. Shirley does a fine job of keeping her spirits up while suffering significant changes in her life. She always finds the sunny side even though she admits that it is sometimes difficult to do that.

If you are looking for a version of "A Little Princess" that is closer to the Burnett classic, try the 1995 version starring Liesel Matthews as Sara Crewe.

Good luck!

Couldn't Have Been Any Better!!!.......2007-02-18

This is an amazing film that shows love, friendship, and respect. Shirley Temple was so cute. She played a marvelous Sarah Crewe. At the part when she was by the window crying to say goodbye to her daddy. It was sad that he had to go to war. Ian Hunter was a great actor too. Now for Becky played by Sybil Jason. She was one of the cutest and best actress I've ever seen. I like it when Sarah gave Becky a wonderful present, and Becky almost fainted! I also like it when she says, Oh no, miss. She is so adorable. I felt so bad when Becky slipped in the street with the police after her and Sarah just because miss Minchin thought that Sarah stole a bunch of stuff. But they didn't, Sarah thought her dreams came true. That caring indian that owns the parrot snuck in and gave it to her. Well, this was a great movie, and I'll never lose this VHS. Well, bye actors, and actress.

FINALLY! It's nice to see people actually commenting on the Q U A L I T Y of a particular DVD release for a change; especially when it's a movie like this one that now has around 25 different DVD releases over the years!
Adding my 2 cents, this is one of the WORST quality DVDs of this title, right up (down?) there with UPC 798622308726 and UPC 645961100323. Don't bother with this release unless you'll be watching it on a 19" or smaller TV. It is horrid.

One of the best animated movies I've seen........2006-08-21

That cover art does not do this movie justice.

Okay, so I went to my neighbor's house to watch his kids for a while so him and his wife could go watch Snakes on a Plane without their daughters freaking out everytime the snake jumps out. (That movie pales in comparision to this, by the way.)

I let them watch one of their DVDs and they put this in and told me I had to watch it. I thought it was going to be one of those campy direct to video things (I must've missed when it was in theaters or something) and the animation just blew me away. Not only that, but there are some great actors in that movie. The story was beautiful and touching and the dialogue is some of the most natural I've heard in a long time.

Do not miss this movie. If it looks like everything is all cutesy, you have the wrong movie. Get the real version. The one that's going to be nominated for practically everything.

the BEST Secret Garden.......2006-02-10

I had a unique FORTUNATE experience to have Kate Maberly all to myself several times... it's not that way folks ! The one and only theater in my town (Fairborn, Ohio) was shutting down in about 1995 or so and the last show(s) I remember playing were "The Secret Garden". I know I snuck away from (Computer Science) classes to see Kate because she was SOOO! cute and she had that British accent nailed down!

Kate's is the VERY BEST that you will see for the "Secret Garden", but Amelia Shankley's is the VERY, VERY BEST that you will ever see for "A Little Princess"... you will cry and cry and thank God that Amelia has more guts than you do. Amelia endures tortures that we can only thank the Lord we don't need to go through.

a bargain?.......2005-10-13

This DVD looks like a bargain: two movies for the price of one. Is it? Like most apparent bargains, there is a catch.

The Secret Garden. Whether you've read the book or not, the BBC version (3 and a half hours long) is by far the best movie version of all four versions. The characters, scenery, accents, music--all are priceless. And it also follows the book. Every child deserves to see this movie. This version has just been released on DVD.

A Little Princess. If you've read the book A Little Princess, you're going to be disappointed in this movie. The movie throws the book away. If you haven't read the book, it's not a bad children's movie. But there is a better movie of A Little Princess which also throws the book away: the 1939 Shirley Temple version (which is available on DVD for only $4.99).

If you HAVE read the book, A Little Princess, you have only one choice: the Wonderworks version from the late 1970s. This version is excellent in every way (except for the casting of the main character), an English ambience, excellent casting of all the other characters, superb acting, good music, etc. It is over two and a half hours long and follows the book very closely. (Oddly enough, this version has just been re-released--on VHS!!! Hasn't Wonderworks ever heard of DVD?)

Bottom line: this DVD is not a bargain. Get the 1975 version of The Secret Garden and wait for the Wonderworks version to come out on DVD.
Warning: If you go for this deal and ever see one of the good movie versions someday, you're going to be very, very angry that you fell for this "bargain."

Double dose of Francis Hodgeson Burnett.......2005-09-02

A Little Princess, a classic story of a little girls hope, that has been remade several times, is presented in this two disc set.

The secret garden is another classic tale, that has been retold many times.

These movies are presented on 2 double sided DVD's, each one featuring a wide screen and a full screen version.
There are not many special features on the DVD's, but if you just want the movies, then this is the set for you.
