For My Wife
Added 8/8/2009
My wife just turned 30 and had wanted some things from her youth. This was one of her favorite movies so I bought it for her. It came in quickly and was in excellent condition.

Enchanting movie filled with drama and lovable characters.
Added 7/8/2009
I don't care if the 1995 film adaption had major changes that didn't resemble the original book written many years ago. Honestly, this is the best film I've ever watched in my lifetime being that it was my first film I watched on TV after its theatrical release.
Recently watching it on TV, the English-language version of the film is extremely well done. I loved Liesel Matthews' portrayal of Sara Crewe. She had a very sweet and gentle tone and attitude throughout the film, not to mention brave too. In my opinion, I hated how much Minchin treated Sara just because of her imaginations and fantasy, as well as abusing her powers. She's just a 10 year old! Plus, she's a contradictory witch because she is a thief herself by claiming all of Sara's possessions without consent. If she suffered "financial losses",she shouldn't go after her wealth. She has to earn it, not steal it, but whatever.
I know what is a real brat and I see one, and its certainly not Sara. Go watch the Spanish dub of 1998's The Parent Trap and you'll see the real definition of a bratty girl. I will always love and enjoy this film no matter what. All of the drama is the reason why I truly enjoy the movie, as well as the sadness present. And btw,
"I am a Princess. ALL girls are. Even if they live in tiny old attics... Even if they live in rags... Even if they aren't pretty, OR young, OR smart, they're STILL princesses. ALL of us. Didn't your father ever tell you that? DIDN'T he?"
I consider this line as a memorable quote. Stand up for yourself if you're in a terrible situation. Don't ever let someone dominate over you.

If you love the book, don't bother with the movie!

The book on which this film is based was my very favorite book growing up. I hated this movie because of the vast discrepancies (starting with the way-off depiction of Sara) and because it fails to provoke the pathos of the original story. I normally love this director, but this film's a dud.
I'd recommend it only to someone who's never read the book and wants a nice, bland family film to watch with their daughters.

Great Family Movie
Added 9/11/2008
Magical and delightful and uplifting. I don't really have much to say in addition to what others have said, but I figured I'd weigh in with some stars to counter the 1 star people. They may be more devoted to the text of the book than the rest of us. I come to the film simply as appreciating whether it's a good movie as a movie, and it is. Much preferable to the other A Little Princess movie (although my wife disagrees).
