I discovered this movie around Halloween, on the Disney Channel, in the early to mid 90's and just fell in love with it. Always a fan of anything Victorian, I proceeded to watch it over and over again, and taped this wonderful production which is quite accurate to the book, except for the ending, which I actually like better than the novel. This is pure family entertainment with fantastic acting, gorgeous sets and costumes and hauntingly perfect for any fan of classic children's literature, whether you are 8 or 80. I have very few movies left that need to get on DVD, but this is definitely one of them. Please put on DVD so we can follow the adventures of Bonny, Sylvia, an evil governess in disguise, her sidekick, and faithful servants of the Willoughby family, as well as an accurate pictoral of the conditions of Mid-England during the Industrial Revolution and the condition of working class children in mills. One of the best versions of a book to movie of a children's classic I have ever seen.

My children are in their 20's now and remember this movie as children. We would like their younger siblings to have it's viewing experience. When can it get on DVD? We also listened to the book on tape while on a rainy vacation, it was wonderful!
