A Little Princess is a mini-series based upon the novel, A Little Princess by Frances Hodgson Burnett. It was directed by Carol Wiseman and stars Amelia Shankley as Sara Crewe, Jessica Simpson as Lottie, and Maureen Lipman as Miss Minchin. It is noted for being very faithful to the original text, and considerably different from the famous Shirley Temple movie. It also reunited Nigel Havers and David Yelland who performed together in the 1981 film, Chariots of Fire. It was released on VHS several times, and on DVD on 5 May 2009; however, the versions are somewhat different. The VHS versions... were released both on two and three tape sets in which some scenes were cut out and others shortened for time. More was added to the DVD version, but different scenes were cut short or altered for reasons unknown.
