Sarah... Ang Munting Prinsesa
Sarah... Ang Munting Prinsesa (Tagalog: Sarah, The Little Princess) is a 1995 Filipino family-drama film which in turn was based on the 1905 children's novel A Little Princess by British playwright and author Frances Hodgson Burnett. The film was directed by Romy Suzara and starred Camille Prats as Sarah Crewe, Angelica Panganiban as Becky and Jean Garcia as Ms. Minchin. Plot
Sarah Crewe (Prats), who was born in India, is sent to a boarding school in England, leaving her life in India and her father, Captain Crewe (Ranillo III). Life is rather hard for Sarah, so he bought her a doll named Emily. Sarah quickly became the center of attention at school and befriends almost all students, even the school's scullery maid, Becky (Panganiban). The rich yet selfish Lavinia Herbert (Pedersen), who was once the most popular girl in school, grows jealous of Sarah. Sarah is then informed during her birthday party that her father died in a mining accident. Out of greed, Miss Minchin (García) locked Sarah away in the attic, taking her possessions and forcing her into servitude to make her earn her keep, telling people outside that the girl had disappeared. Upon the downfall of her perceived rival, a gloating Lavinia and her coterie of girls then torment Sarah and Becky. In the end, her father's friend discovers that Sarah, the person they were searching for a very long time, just lives next door, eventually adopting the girl to repay her father's kindness of saving himself. However, Miss Minchin and Lavinia feels remorseful of their cruel actions and asks Sarah for forgiveness for all the cruelties they inflict against her. Cast
