Storyline
Plot Summary |
When her father enlists to fight for the British in WWI, young Sara Crewe goes to New York to attend the same boarding school her late mother attended. She soon clashes with the severe headmistress, Miss Minchin, who attempts to stifle Sara's creativity and sense of self-worth. Sara's belief that "every girl's a princess" is tested to the limit, however, when word comes that her father was killed in action and his estate has been seized by the British government.

Did You Know?
Trivia | Like the character she played, Liesel Matthews (Sara) came from a wealthy background. Matthews (whose actual name was Liesel Pritzker) is a grandchild of wealthy industrialist A. N. Pritzker and a niece of Jay Pritzker, who founded the Hyatt Hotel chain. After a family dispute and lawsuit in her early twenties, Liesel received about $500 million of her family's fortune. She subsequently became a philanthropist in, among other places, India (a country that her character Sara loved as well) and created several educational and development charities. See more » |
Goofs | There are many latex balloons as decorations at Sara Crewe's birthday party in 1914 or 1915. However, the modern balloon that we see pictured in the film was not invented until 1931. See more » |

Quotes |
Miss Minchin:
[after ordering the girls out and punishing Becky, to Sara]
And you will perform all her chores in addition to your own without breakfast, lunch, OR dinner! It's time you learn, Sara Crewe, that real life has nothing to do with your little fantasy games. It's a cruel, nasty world out there, and it's our duty to make the best of it - not to indulge in ridiculous *dreams*, but to be productive and useful! Do you understand what I'm saying? Sara Crewe: [short pause] Yes, ma'am. Miss Minchin: [short pause] Good. [she leaves] Sara Crewe: But I don't believe in it. [Miss Minchin stops, turns back to Sara, and goes awestruck] Miss Minchin: Don't tell me you still fancy yourself a princess! [laughs] Miss Minchin: Good God, child, look around you! Or better yet, look in the mirror! [after a long pause] Sara Crewe: [confidently] I am a princess. Miss Minchin: [in disbelief] Oh! Sara Crewe: All girls are! Even if they live in tiny old attics, even if they dress in rags, even if they aren't pretty, or smart, or young, they're still princesses - *all* of us! Didn't *your* father ever tell you that? Didn't he? Miss Minchin: [furiously, in tears] If I find you up here with any of the girls again, I WILL THROW YOU OUT INTO THE STREET! See more » |
