I'll never forget watching this movie as a child with my three younger sisters and crying when the princess was finally reunited with her father! Every girl should watch this.

Watched this movie on vhs growing up, and it is hands down one of my favorite movies. Still brings me to tears, still makes me laugh, and smile, and want to hug my parents. Timeless and beautiful movie.

This was my first one that I can remember watching and upon seeing it, it lived up to what the trailers said it would be: a magical experience that proves that everyone can be whatever they want to be. I also prefer this version of Sarah Crewe who is more assertive yet still retains her compassion and imagination. The characters and story is flawless and perfectly done and the villains get their comeuppance. It's a timeless classic for all ages!
