Pros: Cuaron's Direction, Script, Lubezki's Cinematography, Score, Look, & Cast. Cons: A Somewhat Predictable Plot to Older Audiences.
The story of A Little Princess by Frances Hodgson Burnett is considered one of the finest children's story ever told. In 1939, a popular film version starring Shirley Temple was a hit with moviegoers. With only a 1986 TV-movie made, Warner ...
Pros: Most. Cons: Choppy editing toward the beginning.
Alfonso Cuaron's A Little Princess (1995) might be the first G-rated movie ever to make you cry. For Petesake, it'd made me cry. I bawled like a little princess. I'm bawling right now, just writing this review. And you know what's even more ...
Pros: A story the whole family can watch. A positive message. Cons: You will need kleenex while watching.

Pros: Story, Direction, Cinematography, Acting, Score, Absolutely Everything Cons: Not a one

Pros: Great remake of a classic!! Cons: Not the traditional ending - a con for people who do not like the added twist
Do you like movies with a happy ending? Did you grow up on the tale of a little girl who was rich until her father was supposedly killed in the war? What about that evil Miss Minchin? Remember how you felt about her? This movie is a remake of the...
Pros: direction, script, story, sets Cons: male viewers may not have the patience for it
"A Little Princess" is a fantasy targeted to young girls, of about the age of ten. This means that adult males whose notion of a great movie is watching Clint Eastwood get the bad guys (sometimes that can be my idea of a great movie as well)...
My neighbor friend has been trying to get me to watch this movie since I started babysitting for her. I had seen "The Secret Garden" and I didn't like it much so I just shrugged her off.
Pros: Matthews; Bron; the storytelling scenes Cons: See "Bottom Line"
Let me begin my saying I've enjoyed the other reviews of this version of A LITTLE PRINCESS, and of the WONDERWORKS version with Amelia Shankley and Nigel Havers; Wonderful work, everybody! That was the first version I remember seeing, and I just loved...
