help A Little Princess FAQ
Why does Miss Minchin turn Sara Crewe into a servant?
Miss Minchin believes Sara has become penniless after receiving news that Captain Crewe has died and his investments have failed. She moves Sara into the attic and forces her to work at the New York boarding school.
Is the 1995 A Little Princess set in London like the novel?
Director Alfonso Cuarón's film relocates much of the story to New York City during World War I. Frances Hodgson Burnett's novel and several earlier adaptations place Miss Minchin's school in London.
Is Captain Crewe actually dead in A Little Princess?
In the 1995 film, Captain Crewe survives the war but initially suffers from amnesia after being injured. The reunion with Sara therefore differs significantly from the resolution of Burnett's novel.
Who made A Little Princess before directing Harry Potter?
Alfonso Cuarón directed the 1995 film several years before Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. Emmanuel Lubezki served as cinematographer, helping create its distinctive green-and-gold visual style.
