He is wealthy and willing to pay for his little daughter to have the best education. Sara is enrolled in Seminary for Young Ladies of Miss Minchin, which was the school her late mother attended. Sara does not like the school because she feels like Miss Minchin seems to be nice to her just because of her dad's money. Sara lives like a princess inside a castle with her friends because her dad is willing to pay for everything she wants. After Miss Minchin heard about the death of Captain Crewe, Sara loses all of her wealth and becomes a maid for the school. She is forced to move to the attic of the school and lives together with another young maid, Becky. They become friends. After an Indian family moves into a house opposite of the seminary, something wonderful starts to happen to Sara. Everyday, her room is being filled with beautiful clothes, food, and other luxury items. It is a gift from the generous and mysterious neighbor, Mr. Carrisford. He is actually a business partner with the late Captain Crewe. The magic happens when Mr. Carrisford realizes Sara is the girl he has been looking for years. He has been looking for Sara to tell her about the money her dad had left for her before he died. Finally, Sara and Becky stay with Mr. Carrisford's family and live happily ever after.

A Little Princess is a 1995 American family drama film directed by Alfonso Cuarón and starring Eleanor Bron, Liam Cunningham (in a dual role), and introducing Liesel Matthews as Sara Crewe with supporting roles done by Vanessa Lee Chester, Rusty Schwimmer, Arthur Malet, and Errol Sitahal. Set during World War I, it focuses on a young girl who is relegated to a life of servitude in a New York City boarding school by the headmistress after receiving news that her father was killed in combat. Loosely based upon the novel A Little Princess by Frances Hodgson Burnett, this adaptation was heavily influenced by the 1939 cinematic version and takes creative liberties with the original story.
Due to poor promotion by Warner Bros., the film hardly made back half its budget. However, the film was critically acclaimed and given various awards, such as two Academy Award nominations for its significant achievements in art direction and cinematography, among other aspects of its production.

Even if they live in tiny old attics, even if they dress in rags, even if they aren't pretty, or smart, or young, they're still princesses - all of us! Didn't your father ever tell you that? Didn't he?"
Maya: "All women are princesses, it is our rights."
Captain Crewe: "Sometimes when I dream, I sense a part of me that's missing. It's a strange feeling having your heart remember something your mind can not."
