In English, the stories are narrated by Julian Clary, who also provides the voice of the cat Puss. Jane Horrocks provides the voice of the Little Princess.

Platicsco Good story, Not enough for a whole film
Odelecol Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.
Aubrey Hackett While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.
Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
domenica-derosa I was doubtful about this as my children loved the books but I actually think the TV series is even better. The scripts are excellent and the voices brilliant.It can't be easy to adapt these slight (but rich)stories for TV yet it has been done brilliantly without any obvious padding. All the humour is still there with new delights added. The characters were particularly well drawn. I was worried that the Princess would seem simply spoilt but the magic of her lovable egotism is retained. The voices are perfect. I watched with a sigh of relief. It is a rare show that parents and children can both watch with genuine enjoyment. This is such a show.
Laura Kidd My daughter and I watch this together and we both enjoy it. It is the French dubbed version which, I admit contains pleasant voices (I am not sure if I would enjoy the English version with Julian Clary).The stories are all based on the type of ideas that enter a little persons head and even I find it interesting to see how the different personage resolve the ups and downs of the stubborn little princess.The graphics are basic but pleasing to the eye and I like the fact that it is not too modern. It contains interesting characters who all have different habits and relationships with the little princess.I would fully recommend this to anyone that has a little girl who like the idea of being a princess (and the Mum's should enjoy it too!).
eabram Little Princess is shown on Ch5's Milkshake in the mornings and keeps the little ones occupied at that busy time in the morning. There is now a DVD out which, as 'The Guardian' puts it "is a godsend to parents" and it is! The Tony Ross books are great but this series has built on the strong legacy and modernised this traditional cartoon. Jane Horrocks is the voice of Little Princess and is approachable, lovable and tempestuous. She plays her as a typical 4 year old who throws tantrums. The difference is that the strong unit of friends and family surrounding Little Princess teach her that tantrums aren't the answer and to look for alternative solutions. Many parents have succeeded in potty training by using Little Princess as well as getting them to eat food that they 'don't like'. Julian Clary as the narrator is an inspired choice, as his child like view of the world, indicated by his voice, makes him the ideal person for Little Princess to bounce ideas from. I, amongst many, hope that another series is commissioned.
ian-1211 This series is based of the "Little Princess" books by Tony Ross which was first published in 1986. I haven't really read any of the books since they were aimed at little children. But twenty years later, they finally decided to give the Little Princess her own T.V series but there's only one problem: it's WAY past it's time! This series is about 15 years overdue. I don't know why it was delayed but I feel that loads or people nowadays wouldn't remember of even heard of the Little Princess. It's just too late to capture a new premise! As for the show, it sucks! It contains the annoying and immature presenter Julian Clary bringing out a creeping narrator that chats to the princess. The characters have no personally and are very undeveloped. The Little Princess herself is annoying with all her rants and demands. She's a spoiled, little brat and I don't like it. Bad influence on children. The stories don't even make sense and the settings are so unrealistic. Altogether, if the series was released in around 1991-92 with the books most promoted then it would have been more understandable and rightly timed but still probably would have sucked the same. Don't bother with this show is watch I say! 2/10
