VeteranLight I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.
SteinMo What a freaking movie. So many twists and turns. Absolutely intense from start to finish.
Keeley Coleman The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;
Jayden-Lee Thomson One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.
mernestoreyesg The movie is so and so excellent that instead of 10 it would give a 28.
Julia Arsenault (ja_kitty_71) I had watched the middle and ending of this film on TV one December; I think it was last year. After watching it I have found this film really beautiful and very sweet. Based on a children's play about a sister and brother Mytyl (Shirley Temple) & Tyltyl, who are visited by a fairy Berylune one night to find "the bluebird of happiness," along with Tylo the bulldog and Tylette the cat and a lantern transformed by Berylune's magic. Throughout the journey, Mytyl's bratty attitude starts to change.I was quite intrigued with the original play/story after watching the version starring Sanrio's "Little Twin Stars" who are a pair of angel-like characters named Lala (sister) and Kiki (brother). Now I'm thinking of reading it; if I could find it. Well overall, I love the whole film and it's lesson about appreciating what you have - an age-old lesson that I don't mind at all. I found this film is a wonderful production. It's too bad it had a disappointing box-office performance.
belva0308 I first saw this movie when I was a child. It stuck with me so I don't think it was all that bad. Spoiler: I loved the part where the Grandparents come to life when they kids think of them.So it is on TCM today and I turned it and looked up the trivia and came across some of the reviews. My favorite has to be from this person named drystyx. I am fairly sure that this person is writing reviews for their own amusement. If they are not in on the joke themselves then I consider it a total abomination of a review. How you could watch this movie and get outraged by the dog/cat prejudice? The review has nothing at all to do with anything about that movie that is in anyway real or interesting. What Nazi propaganda are you talking about you crazy person? Its a simple story and even though the audiences of its time did not embrace it, its decent and has a good moral. Its really a tale that applies to every era.
