Although she isn't as young and adorable in "The Blue Bird" and she isn't playing her usual typecast charactor, she delievers an enjoyable performance. The film is also shot in technicolor, unlike most of Shirley's earlier films, which really helps bring the story alive! "The Blue Bird" is Fox's answer to MGM's "The Wizard of Oz", but was a failed attempt. It still, however is a great film in it's own right. A fairy tail, fantasy flick filled with good morals and charactor development, this film is great for the whole family. A new, restored version of this film has been released (region 1 only, I think) onto DVD and is available, brand new, from amazon.com for about $7.50!

A bratty young girl and her impressionable brother from a poor family dream of being rich and living in luxury. One night a good witch appears to them and sets them off on a quest to find a bluebird which will bring them luck and good fortune. They must search in the past and the future and not get distracted or they will be stuck there forever. Shirley Temple's character Mytyl discovers her true nature on this journey and it consequently changes everything in her life.

Very possibly one of the trippiest films ever made, and therefore, Shirley Temple's greatest performance. Its got much of a Wizard of Oz theme with a very different story. Its wierd, but its quite well done.

I can't forget all my dreams with this movie..., I wanted to be one of those children who could choose their parents on the earth directly from the heaven (and I really thought that I had done!), and the blue bird...it just was amazing!!!

This is The Wizard of Oz on acid. I read that this was another studio's attempt at repeating the success of the Wizard of Oz. It has a lot going for it, but at the same time it is totally bizarre.

It has a lot going for it, but at the same time it is totally bizarre. I think a good restoration and a DVD set with extra features would be quite welcome. I would probably buy it.
