A Little Princess
Its the story of a young girl Sarah Crewe, brought up in India, who has to move to England and go to a boarding school while her father goes to war. Her father is very wealthy, and so she is treated like royalty in the boarding school, with her own room, all her toys, and all thr other girls love her instantly. However, after a months, the owner of the boarding school - Miss Minchin, hears of the sudden death of the young girls father, and decides to keep her out of charity and she has to work as a slave in the school as her keep.
The Storyline
I think the movie has an excellent storyline, i thoroughly enjoyed it from start to finish. It tells the story of hard times throughout the war, not only do you see the life of Sarah, But you see how the people of England survive, and how poor it was to live in. Its a very sad movie, as a young girls life is stolen away, from riches to poorer than poor with nothing but herself in the world. no family anywhere.
The Boarding School Headmaster is a very cruel woman who is only in it for the money - Not interested in childrens welfare, just knows she can make a few bob.
Its sad when Sarah finds out about her father, and Miss Minchin becomes so cruel.
It also has a few magical scenes throughout -Ya gota watch it to see.

Sarah Crewe was played by Liesel Mathews, she was an excellent actress, i was amazed at how good she was, she has a lovely little voice, and throughout she was telling stories, and she made them sound so interesting. Brilliant actreess. A+++
Elenor Bron played Miss Minchin - She was also another excellent Actress as she was playing the cruel head mistress, she played the part to perfection, as you end up not liking her. Even though shes only an actress playing a part.
Am actually watching the movie again as i write this review.
5* Movie - Well Worth the watch.
