If A Little Princess hit the spot, these will too

The same two preoccupations: servant, and little girl

The same mix in both: stillness, then warmth
The difference: Made in the 2010s, in a different era of the craft

Cozy drama in both cases
The difference: Trades the dream logic of A Little Princess for an angle of its own

Family with a pulse of dream logic, in both cases

Both lean on stillness more than on fantasy


Cozy family, and it commits to that
The difference: The scrappier of the two with critics

Fantasy built on dream logic, twice over
The difference: Sits closer to adventure than A Little Princess does

Warm family, and it commits to that

Drama built on stillness, twice over

The same preoccupation in both: school

Both keep coming back to the same thing: orphan
