A Little Princess | Rotten Tomatoes (1) Anthony Puccinelli Chicago Reader I’d advise all parents, even all grown-ups: Go. Rated: 3/4 Jun 7, 2022 Full Review A Little Princess | Rotten Tomatoes (2) Caroline Westbrook Empire Magazine Soppy and girlish in the extreme, this should keep even the tiniest viewer rapt, while all too many adults may fall victim to an inexplicable bout of eye-watering long before the closing credits. Rated: 4/5 May 27, 2011 Full Review A Little Princess | Rotten Tomatoes (3) Jonathan Rosenbaum Chicago Reader The film uses studio resources to create an entrancing world both in New York and in the heroine's fantasies about India. May 27, 2011 Full Review A Little Princess | Rotten Tomatoes (4) Rachel Wagner Rachel's Reviews (YouTube) One of the most well-crafted, magical family films ever made Rated: 9/10 Apr 30, 2020 Full Review A Little Princess | Rotten Tomatoes (5) Jeffrey M.

Audience Member A gift of a movie. Very touching. Loved it. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/23/24 Full Review Cristina C Very magical children’s story that will leave some adults wondering too. A great memory from childhood!! Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/04/24 Full Review Blu B All Time Classic. It masterfully blends a fantasy elements with a moving drama. The setting is beautiful, the camerawork is great, the asetics are amazing save for the Mortal Kombat Annihilation CGI but it's a small point. Everything else is masterful especially Becky & Sarah who are amazing to watch. The story is charming, moving, sincere, and even though you can see the ending coming the whole way it's so well executed it doesn't really matter at all. It fully embraces it rather than trying to hide it. Everyone should give this a try once, Kids will love this especially. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/19/23 Full Review StephenPaul C The greatest 01 hour: and 37 minutes ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/05/23 Full Review Cameron L Wow! Just wow! Very surreal and very beautifully and chanting at the very same time! Plus it's a hell of a tearjerker Rated 4.5/5 Stars • Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 06/13/23 Full Review steve d It didn't work at all for me even as a child. Rated 2/5 Stars • Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Read all reviews
