A Little Princess / The Secret Garden

The Secret Garden and A little Princess are 2 good movies. I like the fact that they are both on one disk. The Secret Garden is my favorite movie. I am glad Amazon had it and I recommend these movies to anyone who enjoyed watching them. :)

This was a gift for a young family member who loves stories. The stories are classic ones I remember from years ago and proved to be entertaining for the next generation as well.

These were 2 of my favorite movies when i was a kid. So great to always have them now.

Both great, but Little Princess the best!

This production of The little Princess wasn’t true to the original book version. Seemed they hadn’t grasped the point of who Sarah was!

To begin, yes its true, this release does not include the widescreen format but thats not why you are reading this review, you want to know if these films are great, and the answer is a resounding Yes!!Beginning with A Little Princess, I passed on watching it for many years ignorant of the fact that it is a true classic. I must give the director Alfonso Cuaron all the credit in the world his vision for this film is pristine. There is symbolism and meaning in every scene. If you are a student of film making, then this is the way it should be done. A Little Princess is a true Art Film, a work of art, and watching it is almost like admiring a fine painting. The music, script, cinematography, and dialogue are nearly perfect and the emotional impact of the film is intense. My advice would be to watch it several times and gauge how it operates on different emotional, spiritual, and mythical levels. I always found Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban to be the best of the Potter films and it is now no surprise that it was directed by the same man responsible for A Little Princess.The Secret Garden is also a fine film, written by the same author, both films share a common theme of a young child raised in India whose lives are suddenly uprooted. The substance of the film centers on how they deal with the curveballs life throws at them. The story here is not as complex as A Little Princess but it is a pleasure to watch the evolution of the children, the family, and those around them and how they grow as the garden blooms. Simple but still poignant. Most importantly both films are great for adults and children alike.

I'm not really the emotional type (though I'm getting more emotional the older I get), but I've been watching "A Little Princess" since it came out, and it gets me bawling EVERY. TIME. No matter how much I prepare myself, how much I prepp my emotions, I cannot hold back the tears at the end... "Papa? Papa? PAPA! PAPA, PLEASE! IT'S ME!! IT'S ME, PAPA!!!! PAPA! PAPA!!!" ... "SAAAAARAAAAAAAHH!!!!" *floodgates are opened* It's almost embaressing, but whatever. I was even able to get my "significant other" to watch it with me, and he admitted that it wasn't as bad as he thought it would be, considering the title just screams some sort of Barbie type lame little girl movie, and he said it was actually pretty good =)So next week we watch "The Secret Garden" which is also another one of my childhood favourites and one of my favourites now. Though it doesn't make me as vulnerable as "A Little Princess." I think it has something to do with my relationship with my daddy and how special it is to me =) SO YEAH! It's a great buy! Two movies that shouldn't be anywhere but together! =D

I bought “A Little Princess / The Secret Garden” DVD for our annual Turkey-day movie marathon as they are both timeless, enjoyable for all audiences. The DVD was packaged well and arrived earlier than expected, THANK YOU! ☺️
