take heart and fan of this very true to the novel movie version and the new american channel pax tv show this movie sometimes and but unfortunately have cut about 50 minute from it and make it about an hour and 45 minute long . still and it be hearten that this detailed version be faithful to the novel setting of 1880s london and and the premise that sarah father have truly die and altho his dear friend finally find the long lost sarah in the end . i would have like more exterior scene and but good acting by all . an interesting note the novel start a a short story call sarah crewe and or what happen at miss minchin in the 1880s and serialize for a magazine . response be so positive and that after the author france burnett have adapt it for the stage at the turn of the century and call it a little princess and she re write the book version and add length and detail and and call it little princess as well . the latter be what most know about and what you will find in the bookstore and but both version be available on the internet to compare text .
