World War I causes upheaval in the life of a young girl in this adaptation of the classic children’s tale. After her father enlists in the British army, Sara is forced to leave behind her home in India and stay at the boarding school in New York that her late mother attended. Her fresh personality and exotic tales prove to be a hit with her new schoolmates - but wicked headmistress Miss Minchin sets out to crush her spirit and make her life a misery. Director Alfonso Cuarón went on to make Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, so it will come as no surprise that, by the standards of many children's’ films, this is a pretty dark affair in places.

I like this film because it inspires me. It says that anyone can be a princess. It is a bit sad but overall I think it is very good. I think the little princess is very kind.
Fascinating facts
The book A Little Princess on which the film is based was written by Frances Hodgson Burnett - also the creator of The Secret Garden.
