Movie Reviews of Blue Bird
Movie Review: A classic that every child should watch - A hidden Jewel
Summary: 5 Stars
I LOVE this movie, what a valuable message it teaches children. The scene where the grandparents plead with the children to think of them is so sweet I cry every time I watch that part of the movie, makes me think of my own dear grandparents. And the unborn children waiting for the boat to take them to their parents...now who could not be touched by that scene? I loved the part where the kids go to the house and are spoiled rotten. This movie is fun, colorful, imaginative, endearing... a movie you will never forget once you've seen it. Perhaps Shirley Temple is the reason this movie is not given the merit it deserves, it unfairly gets lumped in with all her other vehicles. This is not your usual Shirley Temple Orphan flick!
Waiting for it to come out on DVD...hint hint
Movie Review: CHILDREN'S CLASSIC.
Summary: 4 Stars
In a Grimm's Fairy Tale setting, two children of a poor woodcutter seek the "bluebird of happiness" only to discover it in their own backyard (sounds like Dorothy going to Oz!) The script is imaginitive and chilling oftentimes with the art direction outstanding. The children playing unsympathetic roles hinder what could have been a much more charming excursion into a child's fantasy world. It must be noted, however, that Sondergaard is absolutely first-rate in her playing of the Tylette the Cat. Opinions are quite divided concerning this film (it was the first Temple picture to lose money when it was released in 1940) Many find Temple (in a cheekily selfish role) rather stiff and the production charmless while others see an elusive magical quality.Movie Review: Don't buy it!
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought this video for my 7-year-old son, and we were both very disappointed in the movie. This is not a movie that you would want to own..... I would recommend renting it instead (if you must). The setting is dark, and depressing, the story-line appears to have been thrown together haphazardly, and the costumes for the fantasy characters are cheap (I've seen better costumes in a local school play). The only reason that this movie is in the "classics" section, is because it stars Shirley Temple.Movie Review: average
Summary: 3 Stars
Pre-teen Shirley stars in this pretty good movie. Color is nice, but in this one, Shirley isn't very cute anymore, and she doesn't tap-dance or sing much. Story is okay. Good for young children.Very imaginative. Shirley stars a greedy young girl who goes off in the future, past, and into a rich home to find the Bluebird of Happiness with her little brother, cat, and dog, where she finds her dead grandparents and her future sister.Movie Review: Very good!
Summary: 4 Stars
Shirley is twelve years old. This movie is much like Wizard of Oz, even with the color change. Shirley and her little brother embark on a journey to find the bluebird of happiness, with the help of a witch, a jealous, greedy cat, and a loyal, humble dog. They look in the past, where they find their grandparents who have died, in the future, where they find their future sister, and in a wealthy home. This is a great movie!
