Petite princesse

There are so many good shows out there. idk why my 6 year old wants to watch this all the sudden. the voices in the background are getting on my nerves. the story is really simple und stupid. yes, little kids might like this show but you need nerves of steel to listen to this in the background. better try something else

Little Princess is shown on Ch5's Milkshake in the mornings and keeps the little ones occupied at that busy time in the morning. There is now a DVD out which, as 'The Guardian' puts it "is a godsend to parents" and it is! The Tony Ross books are great but this series has built on the strong legacy and modernised this traditional cartoon. Jane Horrocks is the voice of Little Princess and is approachable, lovable and tempestuous. She plays her as a typical 4 year old who throws tantrums. The difference is that the strong unit of friends and family surrounding Little Princess teach her that tantrums aren't the answer and to look for alternative solutions. Many parents have succeeded in potty training by using Little Princess as well as getting them to eat food that they 'don't like'. Julian Clary as the narrator is an inspired choice, as his child like view of the world, indicated by his voice, makes him the ideal person for Little Princess to bounce ideas from. I, amongst many, hope that another series is commissioned.

I fall asleep to this every night, I know this might seem odd but I choose this show to fall asleep to out of every other show. As you can see my grammar is exquisite so you should assume I am over 11. (Which I am, I am 15) Talking about the actual show...it's trash. So the main character (The Little Princess) is an annoying little brat! I now this is non-fiction but this is an extremely bad influence to younger children! There is no moral to the stories that are being told. All the plots are the same, The Little Princess wants or doesn't want something and in the end, they're all happy and the princess gets what she wants. There are also some pretty dumb characters, The General for example, thinks this wooden horse toy is real and makes horse sounds every time he runs. And The Queen is also a character, who is an obese woman who barely takes care of her child. She makes her child think that she is more valued than her daughter, The Princess. And the maid is just a bossy enslaved woman who is basically born to take care of The Princess. And The Prime Minister is also a character, who says kissing babies is part of his job...that's disgusting! And the gardener who has a strange addiction of green squash. So that's my review for this show, I know it was a little harsh but it had to be called out for. Thank you for reading this long review!

I was doubtful about this as my children loved the books but I actually think the TV series is even better. The scripts are excellent and the voices brilliant.It can't be easy to adapt these slight (but rich)stories for TV yet it has been done brilliantly without any obvious padding. All the humour is still there with new delights added. The characters were particularly well drawn. I was worried that the Princess would seem simply spoilt but the magic of her lovable egotism is retained. The voices are perfect. I watched with a sigh of relief. It is a rare show that parents and children can both watch with genuine enjoyment. This is such a show.

Little princess Is brilliant it's the only programme my little boy watches and he goes nuts for the theme tune. The actors who do the voices are what make it watchable for me and my wife, in particular Julian Clary Is hilarious. It's just a shame they haven't made more series as I seem to watch the same ones over and over again, a bit like faulty towers. I've seen some really negative reviews about the little princess but I think they must have a screw loose. I can't recommend this highly enough.
