The Little Princess is a 1939 American drama film directed by Walter Lang. The screenplay by Ethel Hill and Walter Ferris is based on the novel A Little Princess by Frances Hodgson Burnett. The film was the first Shirley Temple movie to be filmed completely in Technicolor. It was also her last major success as a child star at 20th Century Fox, and remains one of her most well-known films.
Although it maintained the novel's Victorian London setting, the film introduced several new characters and storylines and used the Second Boer War and the Siege of Mafeking as a backdrop to the action. Temple and Treacher had a musical number together, performing the song "Knocked 'Em in the Old Kent Road;" Temple also appeared in an extended ballet sequence. The film was given a happier ending than the book.

Should I admit that I made an effort to collect all of Shirley's movies in one format or another?
(Mostly DVD, some downloads.)
More HD Shirley would be lovely! Thank you for this one!

You know, I'm a little shocked that there isn't a blu-ray box set collection of Shirley Temple's films. But I checked and can't even find discs for the individual movies.

It seems Disney owns almost all of her stuff now (aagh!). So who knows what will happen to them? Walt's Evil Empire of Greed is infamous for being dicks about releases, deliberately holding things back for years - sometimes decades. They're one of those companies that really likes the idea of consumers not actually owning anything.

Films today the Mickey is ashamed of such as Song of the South and other productions in those years the generation of glass is offended something prefer to remain locked in their vaults.

Oh no, Disney, I did not realize that, good grief. My immediate reaction to their acquistion of 20th Century Fox was general dismay, and my fears have been borne out with rare exceptions. The best we could hope for with Shirley movies is likely streaming on Disney+, and I suspect that Sully is probably right and we won't get even that. Of course I keep reading about Disney losses in their MEDIA empire (not their theme parks), so maybe they will continue to license out content, or maybe sell off ownership of the Fox library entirely. I can dream, can't I? I don't see any reason they can't keep Marvel and Star Wars for themselves and sell everything else. I would be willing to buy it for every penny I have!

I confess that as much I enjoyed watching Shirley's movies (into her teenage years!), I can not think of a single one of them where the imagery might demand a 4k UHD release, even for my favorites. I am both surprised and delighted by thequietgirl's 1080p Releases. I can also admit that without them, I would still be satisfied with my DVDs. These upgrades are a wonderful bonus.

"The Littlest Rebel" Release ( https://www.first-loves.net/forums/view ... 22#p112322 ) says it is sourced from BluRay in its name but I do not see evidence of a BluRay actually existing. I do see HD on iTunes. This is another movie like "Song of the South" that Disney would likely not touch with a 10 foot pole. The dancing scene with Shirley and Bill ‘Bojangles’ Robinson is fantastic. I have sometimes wished that Shirley had been as good a singer as she was a dancer. She was just too goopy syrupy for me. It was always her charm that allowed me to overlook that!
