    Cute Shirley Temple movie. The movie was adorable and loved the part when she dumped Ashes on the snotty rich girl! haha. ;) A favorite of mine back in the day.

    I think it's hard not to like the Little Princess story. It's sweet and heartfelt and i've never seen a bad version of it.

    Not as good as the more recent version of this classic book. I have read this so many times the spine on my book is nearly falling apart. A lovely story, but Shirley Temple can't really pull it off.

    I've never seen a Shirley Temple movie, but I so wish I watched her as a kid. She is soo adorable! She is really talented, and the most famous child star EVER. The movie is definitly for really young girls, but it was a cute movie.
