    I love it :) Such a sweet story, even though Leslie Caron isn't a top notch actress (she's an amazing dancer) the story, even though you'd think it wouldn't work at all (she befriends a bunch of puppets), is in fact wonderful :)

    Rather old movie, but cute.

    I must say for an oscar nominated show, it kind of creeped me out. Mind you, I missed the first twenty minutes, so maybe that's why I didn't particularly like it. Although, I must say, I didn't particularly hate it either.

    Gotta give it props. Good movie that I am sure is overlooked.

    A simple but charming movie. Leslie Caron is wonderful as a young, naive girl who is left alone in the world after her father dies. You can't help but sympathize with her as she learns about life and love the hard way. Sometimes things aren't always as they seem though.
