"Even if they live in tiny old attics, even if they dress in rags, even if they aren't pretty, or smart, or young, they're still princesses - all of us! Didn't your father ever tell you that?" - Sara Crewe

Why watch this? Many films are called "magical". This one really is!

Plot Summary: A young girl named Sara is sent to a New York City boarding school after her father enlists in World War I. When news arrives that her father is presumed dead, the headmistress, Miss Minchin, forces Sara into servitude. Despite her hardships, Sara maintains her kindness and imagination, inspiring those around her to persevere and believe in themselves.

Dad's Preview: This film is a remake of the classic 1939 film starring darling child actress Shirley Temple. I feel this one is much better. When a wealthy young girl, Sara, is separated from her father during the War, she is sent to a boarding house run by the cruel Miss Minchin. Though this new life is rough, Sara keeps her spirit's up, helps others, and holds onto hope that her father will return for her. Cinematically, it's wondrous soul-food to behold.
