5.0 out of 5 stars Little Princess, May 4, 2001

By

This review is from: Little Princess [VHS] (VHS Tape)

If this is the BBC version of the little princess done by wonder works starring Amelia Shankley as Sarah, then I must say it is an excellent video. It is done very true to the book with outstanding performances by all the cast, especially Amelia Shankley who plays Sarah. It is a true british production with less outstanding cinematography as the one from 1995 (which was made for American audiences), however the story and the acting keeps you focused on the real point of the story and is great regardless.

5.0 out of 5 stars Shirley Temple, AWESOME! Cinderella type story, wholesome., October 6, 2000

This review is from: Little Princess [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This was definitely a mainstay of growing up... Shirley Temple movies, that is.

What can I say? I'm a sap for the old movies and for her cute face. The innocence and the lack of arrogance, the pride...

A terrific and wholesome story well worth watching again and again. One that you can let the kids watch anytime... and they'll want to watch it repeatedly.

A tale of a little girl sent off to boarding school as her caring father heads off to war. The truth about her boarding school isn't known until after he's left.

When it seems that her father has been killed in the war, she doesn't give up and searches on her own, with a little help from people who care about this innocent beauty.

A love story. You'll laugh, and cry from sadness, and cry from joy many times during this movie.

The singing, the dancing, the heart-felt love Shirley has for life and those around her is uplifting at any age.

Get it. Enjoy it! Again and again!

Touches ya, right there (the heart, that is)!

5.0 out of 5 stars Is this the Amelia Shankely version of "A Little Princess"?, January 12, 2002

I have seen the Amelia Shankely version of "A Little Princess" and it is excellent, however, there is too little information in this listing to know if this indeed is the version. This version is available and positively identifiable at some of Amazon's zShops. Here is my review:
This version of Frances Hodgson Burnett's story "A Little Princess" is from WonderWorks and is an excellent, heart-wrenching performance. It is also more true to the original story. This version stars Amelia Shankley as Sara Crew and is mostly set in London (and India) This version has not been "Americanized" as the version which stars Eleanor Bron. To be true, the version starring Eleanor Bron is also excellent, but the Amelia Shankley version will also take your heart to new highs and lows in subtle, different ways. The Amelia Shankley/British version does not have the same idyllic ending as the Eleanor Bron/American version. Leave the Shirley Temple version behind, but if you love the Eleanor Bron version you will want to own this one too!
