    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.

    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.
