What a waste of my time!!!

... View MoreA film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.
... View MoreI think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
... View MoreThis show is entirely inappropriate for little children.The main character 'Little Pricess' is a spoiled, screaming, obnoxious, miserable 3- or 4-year old brat that doesn't care about anything or anyone except herself and is mean to all people around her.She has a weak King and Queen for parents and some servants but all these people are depicted as slaves who have no opinions about anything and solely exist to cater to the little girl.The purpose of a kids' cartoon would be to teach the kids about real life and to have stories with morals and to teach about desirable behavior and how to recognize and deal with undesirable behaviors. This show does none of that - actually it actively encourages anti-social, mean behavior and the adult characters support this with their own behavior and speech.The voice acting is atrocious: the voice of the little princess is worse that nails on a chalkboard and the rest of the voices are not too much better, either.Watching the same kid movie over and over again can be mentally tiring for parents but this show stands out in how bad it is. Avoid this at all costs and make sure you prevent your kids from watching this trailer trash.
... View MoreMy 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!).
... View MoreLittle 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.
... View MoreThis 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
