I could never watch the movie as a child. I just remember always feeling scared when it came up. I've never really been sure why, and still don't as I haven't seen it to this day (which will hopefully change soon) I'm not sure how closely the movie is to the book, but if it's anything like it, I think I'll love it. Still, I don't know that it would have been right for me as a child. Instead, it's more magical as an adult I think. It magically reminds me what it was like as a child and inspires me more now than it ever could have when I was little.

I've also read The Secret Garden recently (also don't think I would have enjoyed as a child) and I just love Burnett's writing. It's just so cathartic and healing. What a great writer.

I loved this book! It was one of the few movies I enjoyed as a child too. I like the way Burnett describes the characters and creates magical imagery out of ordinary things.
