This movie version of Frances Hodgson Burnett’s classic novel is excellent. Nothing can break Sara Crewe’s spirit even when she is left in a strict boarding school while her Army officer father goes to war.

Why is it a pick?

Don’t give up after the movie’s first few minutes. It’s one of those watch over-and-over to unwind the ending. More than an hour of movie comedy cliché for the young and old.

I really enjoy the Backyardigans! I like the mix of imaginative play and fun dance music that is part of each episode. Great fun for preschoolers and early elementary children (and even their parents, too!)
