A Little Princess (1995)
I am suprised that many people aren't in love with this movie. It's not a super popular one. But it is AMAZING. It has beautiful music, it is pretty intense, the story is wonderful, and the characters are darling. Plus, it is set in the early 1900's. AND I LOVE THAT.
"All women are princesses. It is our right"-Maya
"She was so beautiful. What did you love about her the most?" "I loved the why she smiled, I loved the way she sang the Indian folk song. But most of all I loved dancing with her."
"What are you doing? Memorizing me by heart?"
"No. I already know you by heart."
"Don't you understand what I am saying?! You are alone in the world."
"You know, dolls make the very best friends. Just because they can't speak doesn't mean they don't listen. And did you know that when we leave them alone in our room, they come to life?"
"They do?" "Yes! But before we walk in and catch them, they return to their place as quick as lightning!" "Why don't they come to life in front of us so we can see them?" "Because it's magic. Magic has to be believed. It's the only way it's real."
"Let's make a promise right now: to always look out for each other."
"It's a promise."
"Sara... why don't you tell your stories anymore?" "They're just make-believe. They don't mean anything." "Oh, but they've always meant something to me. There were days I thought I would die, until I heard you talk about the magic."
Hooray for old-fashioned movies.
Hooray for Sara Crewe.
Hooray for Romy.
Hooray for General Conference tomorrow.
Hooray for princesses.
