I literally gasped out loud when I saw that you did this. Such an underrated classic, especially for girls of a certain age range. Such a beautiful movie.
All these years later and this film still breaks my heart. Thank you for reminding me of this part of my childhood!
this movie + a secret garden were my childhood!! i adored this movie so much growing up. it was my go-to to watch when i was at home sick from school lol
I associate the two movies too, what’s the connection? Same studio? Same author at least
I thought this was A Secret Garden before I read your comment. I know I saw and loved that, but now I'm not sure if I saw this or not. Interesting how multiple people correlate those two movies.
@@theshadowfax239 ooh i think back in the day the VHS tapes came in a box set, and i think there were commericals where you could order them as a "collection" if iam remembering correctly. it seems like they were very intertwined.
@@kated442
They are both movies based off of books written by Frances Hodgson Burnett. The two movies could also be bought as a set
I still can't watch this without crying at least twice. Such an incredible movie
This is such a sweet movie! You're definitely not the target audience for it. I'm so glad you were such a good sport and gave it a shot. The book was classic! It wasn't so much about all girls being princesses just for being girls, but about how even the poorest girl can be a princess when she shows kindness, gentleness, helpfulness, courteousness, and generosity with what she has. Sarah was just as much a princess when she was rich as when she lost everything because in both circumstances she chose to act like one in the best possible way. I feel like that theme didn't quite come across the same way in the movie as in the book, but you still picked up on it perfectly.
It's alright. I loved this growing up. I used to cry a scene. I had this movie on a shared disc once. It had two moves on it. The Secret Garden and this movie.
Also, in case you didn’t notice, the father is the same actor who plays Davis Seaworth the Onion Knight from Game of Thrones.
Ser Davos????
literally NEVER knew this until reading this.
@@AdamfromFWCISer Davos the Onion Knight was Sara’s father.
Btws, this is set in WWI, 1914-ish since it's early in the war. The US doesn't get involved until 1917. So if you're not familiar with history, think more along the Victorian-type society (actually Belle Epoque - with Titanic as another cultural landmark).
Also fun fact: the girl that plays Sara is actually an heiress from an incredibly wealthy family in America! In 2002, she and her brother filed a lawsuit for $6 Billion against a dozen of her family members because their trusts had been misappropriated by them.
Woah, that is very interesting. I was wondering if the actress grew up to be a star, but now that you say this, I can see that presence and class that she exudes is obviously not acting lol. Great casting
the musical instrument Minchin was playing was a harp, not a cello.
Thankyou all for the really lovely comments.
I hope my style of reaction was still enjoyable to watch, even though the movie didn't hit me in the feels.
With that being said "PAPA!!!" is a line that has stuck with me, and now I use it jokingly any time something mildly upsets me lol.
Do you all do that too?
Actually this is world war 1, due to the yellow poison gas in the trenches and the early versions of cars in this movie. Also the women’s clothing is 1910s
Well this is an unexpected treat! This is the first movie my mom took me to, just us, when I was a child, so it has a special place in my heart. The book is good, too, but it has a different ending - her dad really is dead, but the family next door takes her in. It’s all rather twee and sugary, tho, so I’m curious to see what you think.
The thing with all those officers showing up is that they’re not only there for Sara. They obviously came to take the stolen goods that Minchin told them about.
Another movie based off a book set in a similar time frame is “The Secret Garden” I always preferred that one to this one.
The GASP I let out when I saw this on my homepage just now. this movie was my CHILDHOOD. I still have the VHS and am waiting for the day my daughter is old enough to watch it with me!
The book/ film is set during WWI. So around 1919. Not the 40’s.
LOVE THIS! Was one of my favorites from Blockbuster- like tried to choose it every week. @promisemochi mentioned Secret Garden from '93. If you get a chance it is a great similarly minded film based on a book from the same author as A Little Princess. Fun fact: this is not set in the 40s for WWII. It's the Boer War her father goes to fight in...1899-1902
The book is set during the Boer War, the movie is set during World War I in 1914.
@@curtthegamer934aha! Thank you.
The original film adaptation of this book, with Shirley Temple, was outstanding. This is a good iteration also, but the original movie had so much heart.
I liked the Shirley Temple version better, too.
This one's ok but the Shirley temple version is soooo much more moving. I would suggest you watching the secret garden.
One of my favorite movies! The music is by the same composer who did Thor and Brave!
You should watch "Secret Garden", it's from the same author that wrote this one 🙂 I prefer Secret Garden personally
Here is a pretty cool fact about the cast, Liam Cunningham, Sara’s father was also Davos Seaworth in Game of Thrones.
I love this movie. It's almost a perfect adaptation of the book. Although this movie changed the ending of the book. In the book and other adaptations of this movie. Sara's father is actually dead and is adopted by his friend who has been looking for her.
Also, the book takes place in London instead of New York, and it takes place during the Boer War instead of World War I.
So I was never a girlly girl but I was given this movie by my grandmother and i ended up liking it , still one of my favorite movies today.
I'm 100% tomboy and this will forever be a favorite of mine
Childhood favourite, my dad died when I was a kid so this has always hit home and still makes me cry
Great review on one of my favorite movies 🩷 Your commentary was hilarious 😂 ‼️
Its always a relief to see this comment on this movie lol.
Miss Minchin is a piece of work. So much of her insecurity abusive behavior and jealousy is being projected towards Sara. I’m glad she got the Karma she deserves. Btw its harp she’s playing not a cello.
26:17 The actor that plays Rama the Indian prince also plays Sara's Father. I was shocked too! 😅
Sara's character is Very important especially in her morals; she treats everyone with compassion and equality (a very rare thing for the time), and she uses her imagination to Help the other girls through difficulty like with Lottie and even sharing that her mother is dead too. and the biggest moral she showed was giving what little she had to a family that had less and keep giving to others. the boy gave her his money and she gave that kindness forward; from a few cents, to a cake, to a flower for a grieving man. she didn't know these people but she gave to them in their time of hardship and grief. it's a very important and special moral to have especially now with homelessness numbers up. Sara's morals of kindness are something to remember; you don't have to give money, give a homeless person a sandwich or water or a tray of veggies. that is worth even more than money: it's priceless. people should take care of each other; give kindness.
This and The Secret Garden are a must watch for everyone especially kids. And an added bonus is this movie is directed by one of my favorite directors, Alfonso Cuaron.
This is a beautiful movie and so glad to see you embracing it - I'm halfway through the reaction but thought I should mention that this is set in 1914/first world war as opposed to the 40's/second world war.
becky is played by Vanessa Lee Chester; she was Jeff Goldblum's daughter in Jurassic park two
I saw this a long time ago with my mother and sister
I thought it was a fever dream since I'd never heard of this since
Wow what a trip
The girl that plays Ermengharde, also was in Blind Melon's No Rain video
Prob one of my all time fav films!
13:47 Cello??! That's a harp! lol
Wow I totally forgot about this film. I watched in the 90s and haven’t heard or thought about it since. B
Love this movie. Every time I see this it reminds me of The Secret Garden . I saw this around the same time that I discovered the 1987 Secret Garden by Hallmark. If you haven’t seen the secret garden you should watch that sometime.
I remember getting this movie for Christmas in VHS and it came with a locket.😊
A história se passa na época da Primeira Guerra
Harp not cello lol
I love this movie.
This is not accurate with the book. There is no mention of the farthers friend who invested in diamond mines. The police are not in the book and sarah doesn't escape from one roof to the next. There are much better versions.
Noooo!! Not like the dramatic anime adaptation!!! 𝙏𝙀𝘼𝙍𝙎!!
I love this movie.
