I purchased this as a gift, and who doesn't love Shirley Temple? This movie features the hits "Animal Crackers in my Soup", and the famous "When I Grow Up" sequence.

Who doesn't Love Shirley Temple films. Cute, fun, and a real depression fighter!

I enjoy her acting , dancing and singing.

Such a fun and sweet movie, with the cutest little gal in show business - Shirley Temple!! Recommend it.

This 1935 Fox Film production is one of Shirley Temple's best early films. It stars John Boles as Edward Blair, a trustee of an orphanage, who adopts Elizabeth Blair (Shirley) and her sister Mary (Rochelle Hudson, who played in several Temple movies). The British character actor Arthur Treacher plays a butler in the film; he appeared in several other Temple movies, including , became Merv Griffin's talk-show sidekick in the 1960s, and lent his name to the fish-and-chip fast-food chain of the 1970s, which still exists today, although ARTHUR TREACHER'S FISH AND CHIPS does not have as many locations as it once did.The film includes such classics as "Animal Crackers In My Soup," which was recently used in a commercial with a completely unnecessary hip-hop remix; the production number "When I Grow Up," where Shirley sings her way through life's various stages, does a brief tap routine dressed as an old lady, then returns as her young self, and taps some more with a jump rope. Near the end of the film, Shirley tap-dances on the piano to the film's title song, which is brilliant (the dance, not the song).Overall, this is a very good Temple movie. While I still prefer the original black-and-white version, the colorized version is better than most colorized films that I have seen.Bonuses include trailers for and , a fake stereo soundtrack, a Spanish-language soundtrack, and subtitles in English and Spanish. R.I.P., dear Shirley...

Perfect’

It was a gift for our granddaughter and a hit.

Young Elizabeth Blair and her sister Mary live at a orphanage. Their parents were killed in a automobile accident. A Mr Morgan likes Elizabeth and her sister and wants to adopt them. But he did not want Mary and Elizabeth to know. After pretending he was watching Mary and her sister for his friend Hiram Jones Mary and Mr Morgan fall in love. And they live "Happily ever after."

I am a big fan of Shirley Temple, so I was very pleased to have the opportunity to purchase this DVD. I have enjoyed watching this movie many times and will continue too. I have also shared this DVD with others. It reminds me of a simpler time. Highly recommended for children of all ages and for adults that get pleasure from watch an uplifting movie.
