The Secret Garden is about a girl called Mary Lennox (Kate Maberly) whos parents die in India and Mary is brought to England because her uncle Lord Archibald Craven (John Lynch), who after losing his wife is hardly at the manor, is her only living relative (he was married to her aunt who also died) and is brought to Misselthwaite manor in the Yorkshire moor by Mrs Medlock (Maggie Smith) who is a sour and strict with the rules. While at the manor Mary finds out secrets, hears crys in the night and after a lot of snooping around the manor comes across her cousin Colin Craven (Heydon Prowse) who is the same age as Mary and is worried that he is ill and is going to die. With the help of Martha (Laura Crossley), Mary's maid who has a kind heart, Mary learns to play outside and makes friends with Marthas brother Dickon (Andrew Knott). They find a garden which they turn into a beautiful garden and they take Colin to the garden.
The Secret Garden is full of magic and it is a joy to watch this film and it is entertaining. This film is suitable for a wide range of people from a young age. The Secret Garden uses a selection of animals which is lovely it makes the film wonderful. I liked how the animals and the children actors worked great with each other and this is a film that i do like with Maggie Smith in it i think Maggie Smith is an excellent actoress.
