Editorial Review:
Two of Frances Hodgson Burnett's most treasured children's novels come to the screen in wondrous adaptations. Alfonso Cuaron (Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban) directs A Little Princess, the magical story of a girl who uses her powers of imagination and zest for life to overcome hardships at a stern boarding school. And three lonely children are forever changed as they learn to trust each other while restoring and taking refuge in The Secret Garden. Agnieszka Holland (Europa Europa) directs and Francis Ford Coppola executive produces a luminous film in which magic and hope bloom.
A Little Princess / The Secret Garden Reviews:
Misleading Claim! 
2008-10-11 - Like others here, I was disappointed to find that neither film was presented in the letterbox format despite the claim on the box, so I sent an e-mail to WHV to complain about it. I was told that they would replace what I had with two DVDs covering the individual titles once they received it from me in the mail. I thanked them and suggested they keep the product off the market since the letterboxing mentioned on the cover was incredibly misleading. Shortly after I received the two DVDs, I discovered that "The Secret Garden" and "A Little Princess" had been available in a similar double-feature set but presented on TWO discs instead of one. Apparently some genius in Warner's marketing department came up with the idea of saving money by reducing the two DVDs down to one but neglecting to take into consideration that a format would have to be sacrificed in the process. They just kept the text from the original set's packaging, which is pretty damn lame if you ask me. And to make matters worse, I still see this thing being sold in large quantities at Safeway and Target stores as well as here on Amazon even though WHV obviously know they've got what I consider to be unmarketable merchandise on their hands. At least Amazon lets you know that you're getting the fullscreen format with this one.
Exactly what I expected 
2008-09-07 - Good quality and sound (for such old movies)- I got exactly what I expected. Both movies are on a single double-sided disk.
Love, and Love Again!
2008-08-29 - Both of these movies are great great great!!! They remind me of how great it is to be a young girl. Every girl is a princess is the message in A Little Princess. And discovery and love are great themes in The Secret Garden. I love them, you should buy them!
great for little princesses
2008-08-16 - My seven year old daughter and I loved this movie. Made for a great girls night. Wonderful story!!
Wide screen works fine
2008-05-10 - I am soooo glad that I took a chance and ordered this item anyway, even after reading the reviews on this page! The widescreen is available on the flip side of the DVD. So this turns out to be a great buy!
